LONDON, April 16.-In the House Of
Lords, Earl Granville criticised the gov
ernment's policy touching the Eastern
question. lie said the protocol WAS nearly
the same rs the Berlin memorandum.
Why did not the government accept that?
The united action OF the powers then
might have prevented 3 war.
Neither Russia nor Turkey had
then taken an irretraceable
position. He attacked the minister's
boast about raising Englsnd's position
abroad, which now subje IT'S them TO ridi-
cule, and he advocated the European
concert for the better government OF
Turkey.
Lord Derby, in reply, vindlcsted the
protocol. He said he believed the House
would agree with him that, under exist
ing circumstances, it was best not to say
anything concerning the future.
Earl Derby, replying to Granville,
vindicated the signing of the protocol.
He refused TO present the first divisions of
the protocol because Count Schouvelot
objected to their publication. Count
Schouvelot WAS questioned rs TO
whether Russia was prepared To
dissrm if England signed, and said
that it depends on Turkeys
attitude. England declared she signed
with that object. II that object was not
gained the document should not be made
to serve another purpose if England at
tempted mediation between Russia and
Turkey, but when one power refused
mediation it msttered not what form WAS
chosen.

signal for wide conhsgrstIon.
A Belgrade special announces that
General Fselief, the Russian Pansls

regarded as significant.

ten days.
Extensive foods prevail between
Unghenni ann Jassy. The Pruth Is much
swollen. The railway from Unghenni
TO Kischenef, on which the army de-
pends, is in very insecure state, and
the engineers spprehend great trouble in
keeping it up during the passage Of the
troops.
