BELGRADE. Sept. II. - There is little
change in the servian campaign. Tcherna, ens
prospects are brighter than they were a week
ago. The Rnrks evidently wish to pass Alex
inatz and take Dcllerad by a flank movement.
but that purpose has been checked by the ad-
vance Of Iiorvatovitch and IT Ia clear they viii
etill have to 0ght desperate battle. There hre

LONDON, Sept 1i.-1he Times to-day. in an edit
torial article on tho Eastern question. says the
temper of Europe Is swiftly UNDERGOING a
menacing change. More countries than Russia
might easily pass beyond tho control Of states
men. The very danger OF which Earl Derry
warned Turkey threatens to becoms y reality.
Ie said with startling force that a renew
al OF tho outfages would be more dis
OF a battle. II the statements regarding
atrocities In Setvia prove true, II mpy tnntter
argeraiions. The Russian people seem approach
ing i a state o. popular ex itement when even a
rysrv ,spot, r VIII make peace an imposs,,binty;
that the strife NAV overflow Its riesen' limi s.
There are diplomatic s,sns which might warn
lurkeys rulers how narrow Is the foothold on
which tnev must PICK their way. They will ind
u less easy than II has oeen In former times to
Keep Turkey safe Nv exciting the jealousies Of
ryh powers. II they display their wonted as
tutsuess they will seize any eI pedent that offers
n chance OF peace.
