specifying eleven measures Of re-
form which it was already putting
into operation; but there was con-
siderable difference between il aud
the protocol, and Russia refused to
accept it. On the 18th Of March
the English Cabinet met to con-
slider the terms presented by Rus
STA. Many councils followed, and
after some amendments the proto-
col was accepted. England, de-
sirous of debating terms, demand
ed that Russia should demobilize
at once, but this was decisively re-
jected by the other powers. Count
Andrassy proposed that Russia and
Turkey should demobilize stimuli
taneously. England did nothing,
promised nothing, and exhibited
only distrust and condemnation Of
Russia. Then Russia yielded as
sent to Count Andrassy's PLAN
Prince Bismsrk signed it on condi-
ton that it was first accepted by
Austria. Then England consented
to sign II. On the 3lst Of March
it was officially announced that the
protocol was signed by all the pow
ers. What followed is still fresh in
the minds of our readers. The
protocol was presented to the Porte,
and that body refused to entertain
any of its demands. The result
has been the declaration of war by
Russia against Turkey, with the
tacit aquiescence of the other
European powers.

10 1876 Great Britain imported
s,769, 260 cwts. Of wheat from Rus
ala and l,23S,s5l cwts. from Tur-
key aud Roumania, the countries
embraced by the war which has
now begun furnishing 26.6 per
cent. of the supplies TO England.
In the same year the total impor-
tations Of wheat were 4i,39l, 1852
cwts., 2l,7f6,936 cwts., or 4S.9 per
cent. of all, coming from the United
States and Canada. From Septem-
Der l, 1876, to March 81, 1877,
which covers the period since har-
vest, there has been placed in the
English market, importations and
home produce together, only 49,
75l,346 cwts. of wheat against g.
240,53l in the same period of 1876
5s,004,067 in 1s74-5, and 1885,
$40 in 1884. During the same
period from September l, 1876, to
March 81, 1877, the total imports
Of wheat into Great. Britain have
been only 2l, 326,722 cwts. against
33,953,973 in the same period of
the preceding season. These
figures indicate that, with the Rus
sian supply cut off, there will be a
heavy demand upon this country
from Great Britain for wheat. The
advance which has already taken
place in prices has been in antici-
patton Of this increased demand
and the reduced supply.

The Immediate Causes OF the
Present War.
Prom the Detroit Tribu

We have recently briefly sum-
married. the history of former con-
fiicts between Russia and Turkey,
extending over more than two
hundred years Of history, and have
explained how Russia has come to
be the recognized champion and
defender of the Christians of the
Greek church, who constitute
large majority of the population OF
European Turkey. Russia's official
protectorate over these interests
was terminated after the Crimean
war, but she has not ceased to SYM
pathize with the Christian subjects
of the Porte, and it is in assertion
of that sympathy, and the right to
exercise it, that Russia has declared
war.
The cloud, no bigger than
mans hand, which has now over
spread the whole sky, arose in the
Slavonic province of Herzegovina.
A series OF riots caused by the OPP
preston by Moslem 1.-THE farmers
of Christian peasants eliminated,
in June, 1875, in general insur-
rection against the Turkish rule in
that province. The rebellion soon
spread into Bosnia, where the
Christians had suffered like out
RACES. The people Of Montenegro
and Servia sympathized warmly
with the desperate resistance of
their brethren TO an intolerable
despotism, but the governments of
both principalities remained men,
trail.
Meantime Russia entered into an
agreement with Germany and Aus
tria, for the ostensihle purpose Of
securing peace. Count Andrassy,
the Austrian premier, promulgated,
on the Goth of December, 1875, a
diplomatic note, in the name of the
great powers, which set forth the
reforms which these powers de-
manded that Turkey should en-
force. The principal features of
note were the demand that COM
plete religious liberty should he
established, the system of farming
the taxes abolished, the revenue
derived in Bosnia and Herzegovina
from indirect taxation should be
applied to the annual purposes of
the Ottoman empire, while the in
come obtained from direct taxation
should be spent in the province it.
self, and that the State should sell
portions Of its waste lands to the
Christian peasantry on easy terms.
Turkey professed readiness to COM
ply with these proposals, except
that defining the purposes to which
The taxes of the revolted provinces

New YORK, September IA dispatch
from WilKesbarre, speaking OF the strike
of the miners, says there is every reason
TO believe that the worst features OF
communism will soon crop out. The az
rlcultural districts are beginning to feel
the effect OF the lawless demands of the
bands of so-cslled Communists which are
scattered through the country. When
ever their requests for provisions are de-
MED, force is used, and barns, orchards,
stock yards and cellars are lnoiscrimi-
nately plundered. Valuable cows are
killed, and their bodies left where they
were slaughtered. Itinerant peddlers
are plundered of their packs, potato
fields are invaded and their produce car
ried off. Governor Hartranft hss detel-
mined to place q regime ent of three
months men in the disturbed district TO
cooperate with regulars.
