Peace Prospects.

A more peaceful set of gentlemen than those
now in charge of European affairs can hardly pc
found in or out of Christendom. Every body
wants peace at whatever cost. The only excep-
ton is grim old Gortschakof, who still thinks the
honor of Russia requires a declaration OF war a.
gainst Turkey. The Russian Emperor, however,
is less warlike than his veteran Minister, and ad-
yises Servia to make peace If possible. The
Turkish Government, which permitted the Con
ference TO break up without settling the difficulties,
now purposes to deal with its opponents directly
and make peace with them on equitable terms.
To this end the Porte has already paclhed Rou-
mania, and has requested Montenegro and Servla
to send Delegates to Constantinople to arrange
terms of peace. There seems very little doubt
but that Turkey will negotiate successfully with
her provinces, now that Russia no longer appears
in the distance as their hacker. The turn anairs
are taking exposes the late Conference to derlslon.
Europe had precisely the same questl0n 10 oeai
with at the Conference which are now being dis
posed of by Turkey without dictation from Europe.
Each nation sent its ablest diplomatist to Constan-
tinople, and they had the advantage OF speaking
with one voice. Turkey was not really supposed
to have ANYTHING to do but accept the terms which
the Powers offered or consented to give. England
and Russia were the spokesman, while france and
Germany helped to make a solid and threatening
background. But all this did not avail. turkey
refused to yield anything on compulslon. she was
ready to promise to institute all the reforms
Russia and England demanded and give such
guarantees of fulflment as she deemed consistent
with her national independence; but she poslt-
iyely refused to permit these reforms to be sup
erintended by a foreign Commission, or to have
her territory invaded by a force of policemen not
under her own control. The Powers threatened,
but Turkey was firm on these points. The Con-
ference was prolonged from day to day, and, at
every turn, new concessions were offered. 1t
broke up at last, and, just when all thought war
inevitable, the Powers came out smiling as the
advocates of peace at any prices. +. Bulletin,
