Professionally agreed upon Wednesday by voting

The previous question, aud therefore in con.

THE GENERAL INTERPRETATION or THESE
RESOLUTIONS
is,that the calfupon Parliament to Affirm that.the
responsibility for war rests With tho misgoyeru-
ment ard oppression Of the Porte; that British,
kympathics ought TO bc on tho side Of Turkcy'e
assallants, and British power ought to bc ex.

bring about dismcmbermcnt Of she Ottoman
Empire In Europe It Is estimated that some
what more than hundred Liberals will vote
With Gladstone. The argument Of

TIE SATURDAY. REVIEW
says: "Tha moderate Liberals and regular
leaders OF the Opposition perform a painful
duty In separating themselves from tbeir for.
MGR chief. Mr. Gladstone can for a moment
scc nothing but Bulgarian massac1cs, aud Lo ia
insensiblc to tho imminent risk Of DESTROYING a
historical English party"
THE TALL MALL GAZETTE
says: "fu breaking through tho feeble or
Ranlzation which bis party, In the course al
three sessions, has barely secured, It Is not at
iii impossible that Mr. Gladstone has DESTROYED
tho party ttaelf."
