the whole question ofnegotiation before
the. Turkish: Parliament. 1t is stated
that Germany gave an unfavorable
reply to an intimation from England
as to the direction of an arrangement
Of the Eastern question. Germany Is
reported to be in favor ofthe extinction
Of Turkey as European power, and

The Presidents special message Oh
civil service reform will be ready soon
after the assembling of Congress. II
will take the position, is understood,
that Congress, as well as the executive,
has been repeatedly instructed by ma
tional conventions and by conventions
in nearly every State on this subject,
and it will insist that the policy of the
administration is simply an attempt to
carry out to the letter instructions given
in advance by those who placed the
republican party in power. The con-
stitutional right of the executive to
originate nominations will also be in
sisted on, and it is believed that the
effect of the message will be to give
notice to the country and to Congress
that, whatever may be the attitude Of
the Senate, the President has no thought
of abandoning the position he has taken.

THE POPULAR WILL IN FRANCE,
The republicans of France seem to enter
tain no doubt that MacMahon is in
earnest in the new policy he has adopt
ed, and the Assembly promptly passed
the clauses Of the budget under which
the government can obtain the money

Congressman Morse, of Massachu-
sets, does not believe repeal of the
resumption act can be passed over the
Presidents veto, though he thinks there
is bare possibility that the silver bill
may. He hopes the recess will remove
this possibility because public opinion is
opposed to reputation. Public opinion
has only to assert itself to secure this
result.
