she has thrown difficulties 10 her own way 90
far as invasion of a foreign territory is con.
oerned, by adopting a different gauge for her
railways from that of other nations. AS far as
JaSsy the gauge is that Of the Russian rail-
ways namely, SIT. The R)umanian Turkish,
and Austrian railways have a gauge of Aft. 83in.
This small difference Of q inches was origi-
DaIly adopted for strategical reasons to prevent
uatious, further advanced than herself in
civilization from gaining the full benefit Of her
railway power. At present it tells against her.

that Power interfere later on in the conflict.
The use Of movable axles for the carriages
enables them to be used on foreign railways
but cost some time, and singl' lines must BIO
slow in their work.
W. have now set forth the conditions under
which war must be waged, if it is to be waged
at all, between Russia and Turkey. We have
not considered the effect of possible allies on
either side. because to do 50 would be to touch
on political questions and it seems clear that
some OF The possible allies Of Russia have clash
ing l~GttreSts, so that mons can tell accurately
what will be their course. That war would
eventually be fatal to the present order of things
In Turkey seems quite certain. IF the forces
ofthe Gar invade Turk y as a warlike measure
not as d mere army of occupation permitted by
Europe, they must press on, and one of the
greatest problems of history will be set before
the st 'tesnen OF EurOpa for solution. We have
cftrn quoted General F4daief, and must quote
again one Of his pregnant utterances, ut is i'm.
possible for Russia to Garry on a war in the
Balkan Peninsula without the permission Of
Austria, and that permission she can, In no cir.
cumStancts, obtain" There can be no question
that Austria could compel a Russian army in
Turkey to retreat by simply mobilizing her
forces and declaring that she would not permit
the Danube to become a Russian river nor the
Black Sea a Russian lake. The military
strength of Austria is, therefore, one Of the
most important factors in the Eastern Question.
With the aid Of the Austro Hungarian forces
the Russians would be- easily victorious. while
hostility on the part Of the Austrian Emp Ire
would render success almost impossible. In
our next article W. propose to con0ider how far
AuStro-lIungary is capable Of a great war and
what forces the Empire cou,d bring into tbs
field.

sixty CHRISTIANS whom the Turks could

told the Council frankly enough that the
result OF d rejection would be war. that
Turkey had no friends, and that the am
munition on its way from America might
be intercepted. The Council, nevertheless,
according, it is most probable, to previous
arrangement, unanimously rejected the
proposals, and accepted war. This deci-
sion is considered final. and the Ambassa-

the t'ebleneSs OF The diplomacy in presence

were opposed they receded, and receded
till the Turks believed them afraid of
Turkey, and finally dismissed them with
contempt. The secret of their weakness
is not yet known, perhaps never will be
known, but the history Of the Conference

uselessness of diplomatists.
The blow to the existing Government

Torpedo Warfare.

Inter>O Ocean: The brilliant exploit of
Lieutenant Denbasoh, Of the Russian
army, in destroying n Turkish ronclad
with torpedoes, has caused much ex-
citement in naval circles, and has again
directed attention to species OF war
fare practiced by all nations with vary
ing success The Russians are old hands
at this explosive business They made
the only really successful venture with
fre-ships recorded in the eighteenth
century. In ITO they hoated two
mines into the port Of Ichesme, burned
the whole Turkish fleet, and ruined
the Notifications. During the war in
this country torpedoes were extensively
used, and American inventive genius
was employed in improving them. the
Russians have taken advantage OF all
experiments of late years, and have
educated their perceptions as to put
ting them whore they will ito the most
harm.
Lieutenant Denbasoff used the White
head or fsh-torpedo, the invention OF
CAPTAIN Lupus, OF the Austrian navy
and Mr.. Whitehead, English superln'
tcndent of the Austrian iron works OF
Fiume. It's fourteen feet long and re-
sembes a cigar pointed ut both ends
1t is charged with gun-cotton or nitro
rlvcerinc and is launched from a tube
in the side of the conveying vessel 1t
contains its own propelling power in
small engine worked by compressed
air. and after it leaves the tube (us"d ia
give it direction) it will go straight for
about 1000 feet fit misses Its marx
lit is lost, of course, but the tnsslan
lieutenant took no risks on this point
| lie ran up close, sent his torpedo to It's
mark, and escaped. -,
This experiment demonstrates ina
the torpedoes are, in practice, mos
dangerous instruments OF warfare aho
that the Russians have clear-heaid..e.,
men of nerve trained to use them TIM
one officer with few men, did mor'
damage to the Turkish feet than woul'

that the Russians were Transporting
