the large powers Of Europe are generally

of destructive war which now appears
almost unavoidable. The infatustion of the
Turkish government in furnishing the Bull

renew the old quarrel, shows how little she

be growing more belligerent toward the
Russian government, not because Of an ex
cess of affection for the Turk, perhaps, bu.
