There seems to be little doubt that the Internal
meetings of the Conference at Constantinope have
resulted in some kind OF agreement among the Powers

miited to the Porte and the question is, How win
Turkey receive thems The Times yesterday devoted
long editorial the subject and the feeling to
be pretty general that il Europe is united in us de-
mands the Porte VIII eventually yield; Tho recent
Ministerial change in Constantnople s regarded as do
cdedly favorable TO the latter theory.
MIpuAr PAcHA's APPOINTMENT
telegram from Copsantinople says tho appoint
meDt Of Midnat Pacha very favorably received by
the entire population. The Turkish people, while
willing to accept reforms, resoutely object to any
concessions detrimental to the dignity oi the Empire

EASTERN QUESTION.
Tho Times to-day in a leading editorial article tho
Conference says-sIt is interesting to observe how
far tho conservatives well liberals have
travelled IRON their original position respecting tho
Eastern question. "A few days ago we indicated that
Russia would abandon her design for the occupation OF
Bulgaria II the Conference should provide some othor
effective guarantee, and we also mentioned suggcs
ton that the duty Of police should be undertaken by
the troops OF somo small State like Belgium.

which the friends AS well ne enemies OF Turkey
have been driven by iorce OF q ents"
CAN TURKEY UNITED EUROPE?
II may be said that such arguments are futile, be-
cause they leave Of account tho will OF Turkey her.
sc; bus tho Times thinks uncompromising resistance
on tho part of Turkey is out Of the question If
she be not permitted TO believe that she
would have Engiand's support in case Of conflict.
The article concludes as follows:-"lf tho Marquis
OF Salisbury should bo instructed 10 tell the Porte that
It would forfeit the support OF England by uncompro-
missing resistance. the new Grand vizcr would, wo
believe sec the necessity OF SUBMISSION and the last
danger OF war would pass away"
rHE POWERS MUST ACT WELL DELIBERATE.

cung the idea OF Belgian occupation, and II peace is
to he preserved by union of the six Powers they
must be resolved to for themselves well as TO
deliberate.

that paper, quotes a reported saying OF Count Won
Notkc at military gathering as follows:-"Russia
in making against Turkey, embarks in great and
difncult enterprise Should such break out it
would probably bo laborious and irksome to the SOL
dier and without any decided result for the CON-
