the Pope on the occasion OF the liiLielh

In the House OF Lords tonight, the
Earl Of Dudley asked for information re.
specting the state OF the Eastern question
He SAID although the signing OF the pro-
tocol would secure the peace Of Europe,
it would provide no guarantee for better
treatment OF the Christians. He strong
ly attacked Sir Henry Elliott for his
course towards the Porte.
Lord Derby censured Lord Dudley for
his mode OF raising without formal no.
tice a question Of imperial magnitude.
He said the noble Lord protests against
an understanding which he says we are
on the eve Of concluding. If he knows
this he knows great deal more than
do. Lord Derby maintained that n Eu.
ropean war would produce far greater
horrors than those which occurred in
Bulgaria, He continued: 1.-THE wording
as well as the conditions under which the
protocol shall be signed, II signed at all,
are still under the consideration Of the
Government. The ministers are acting
on their responsibility as advisers OF the
Crown, and when steps have been taken
they will submit them 10 Parliament
without an hours unnecessary delay.
Lord Derby condemned language cal.
culated to irritate the Russian people
against policy which the Russian Gov
ernment, to its honor, was disposed to
adopt-language calculated TO Increase
Russia's difficulties and postpone il not
defeat altogether a solution OF the prob.
lem. He concluded by warmly defend
ing and praising Sir Henry Elliott, chal-
lenging his aSsailants 10 bring the ques.
tion forward in n form which would
enable Parliamentto express its opinion.
The Directors OF the United States Direct
Cable Company, have issued a circular,
announcing their resignation. The cir.
cular states that the Directors seeing that
the policy which they supported, oflaying
second cable, is at present quite hope
less, they have recorded their resigna-
tion. They would support Pender's
committee in its policy Of forming the
working arrangement with the Anglo
American Company, which they admit
may also lead to prosperous future.
