Europe had not dcsparcd before Of
pacific solution Of the question. English
consols and French rcntcs began to fall only
since Thursday. The former were down ycstcr-
day about Ia per cent. the latter nearly per
cent. with partial recovery in tho afternoon.
II should. however. be remarked that the French
rcntes stood altogether too high at 1851 andthnt
for tho heavy drop the fldgoty nature of the
French is to great extent responsible. They
took it into their heads that Bismarck had a
hand in tho Eastern affairs. and that ne would
do his bcst to have Russia defeated, and thus
rid Germany Of the only possible rival in the
dictatorship Of Europe. English newspaper
gossip has contributed not little to the spread
Of such upprehensions. A rumor was. for
instance. circulated that tho Turkish Charge
d'AlIairos Mt Berlin had telegraphcd to Safyct
pasha that Bismarck advised Turkey to reject
the demands OF tho protocol To the French
mind there is only one explanation Of all such
reports; Russia hates Germany and loves
France; the two countries are natural allies OF
the future; Bismarck knows it, fools it, and
wants TO keep them asun1cr; If Russia has her
hands full with the Turks he can attack and
crush France any time he likes; his retirement
from Office is nothing but an ambuscadc. out of
which he will jump like wild beast the moment
he sees his prey within easy reach.
That Is the whole explanation Of tho fact that
the French rcntcs tumblcd nearly four times as
much as She English consos.
This Bismarck hypothesis seems to be ac-
copied byr good many people in this country
too. belief is largely spread that the conflict
will become a general ono. Here the wish is the
father Of the thought Veal desire revival OF
