for local self-government which had
been made with Egypt, the Lebanon and
Crete had been settled with the concur
renee of the guaranteeing powers, but ne
would never put his name to any scheme
which he believed would not work. As to
the future, the British government was
doing all in its power to secure an armlstice
and peace. The changes to be made must
depend upon the concerted action OF all
Europe, and into the nature thereof he
could not now enter. It was unjust to de.
nOunce whole race for the faults of some.
An endeavor to blot Turkey from the map
of Europe would lead to war in which
the Bulgarian horrors would be greatly ex-
ceeded. 1t would drive the Turks into
Asia, and still there would be millions Of
Christians and Mohammedans living TO-

think we could treat the question in any
way that would more prejudice their posi-

the atrocities we hold language
and display feelings against the
whole Turkish MOhammedan races, which
would excite feeling of murua! animosity
between the two religions. Let me add
we look upon these questions from phi
lanthropic point of view that all foreign
powers and foreign politicians do the same.
And as sequel to this would ask you not
to ask your government to do that which
is impossible, because if you adopt that
course you put it out OF our power to do

A member of the deputation asked Earl
Derby what chance there was for the
adoption of Midhat Pasha,s constitutional
reforms, to which his lOrdship replied that
he did not know what were Midhat Pasha's
proposals.. He was aware that that states
man had liberal ideas about reform
the Ottoman administration, but he
was not aware of the character of his pro-

prepared to say anything about it without
some previous examination and study.

If the statements regarding the atrocities
in Servia prove true, it may matter little
whether they should afterward prove exag
gerations. The Russian people seem ap.
preaching state of popular excitement,
when even false report will make peace
an impoesibility. Every day of warfare
adds to the likelihood that the strife may
overflow its present limits. There are diplO.
matic signs, which might warn Turkeys
rul RS how narrow is the fOOthOld on which
they must pick their wsy. They will find
it less easy than it has been in former
times, to keep Turkey safe by exciting the
jesleusies Of rival powers If they display
their wonted astuteness they will seize any
expedient that offers chance of peace.
