After quite a long debate, Eden closed
the discussion tor the day by saying it
would not he just to Polk to discharge him
from OIL .e and put the brand of disgrace
upon his brow simply because he had en-
ployed an extra force. The Democratic
party could not live and do injustice to
Polk. He gave notice he would offer
substitute concerning the doorkeeper, re-
committing the whole subject. and instruc-
ting the committee on civil service reform

The BOubtful Peace Terms.

The world at large is kept very much
in the dark concerning the peace terms
signed by the European belligerants at
San Stefano, everything having to be
done by newspaper guess work. There
are six points which such treaty mi sht
be expected to dispose of that involve
interests distinctly European:
Q) The partial guaranty Of the in
demnity by Egyptian tribute money; (2)
the disposition of the Turkish iron clad
fleet; (3) the control of the mouths Of
the Danube; ~ the question of the
freedom of the Dardanelles; (5) the
extension of the Bulgarian boundaries;
and (6) the Government of Bulgaria.
Of these terms the first two bear most
directly on the interests of Great Brit
ain, and if Russia has waived them, as
reported, the way to peace will be eased,
though by no means cleared of dangerous
obstacles.
1t is hard to believe that the reported
Russian demand for large indemnity
does not cover some ulterior designs;
and it is equally hard to believe that
Russia will content herself with Arme-
nian territory which she could readily
have obtained without cloaking it as
collateral security for the indemnity.
Her real demands must appear soon,
and intelligent criticism of them must
necessarily be deferred until they are
known. But it is very likely that her
open demands also conceal some secret
Turco-Russian agreements which may
not be disclosed for many months, or
may be for years, and after tho sus-
piciOns Of the powers have been set at
rest. This matter Of secret conditions is
n point upon which Russia ought to be
questioned sharply at the Conference,
if the Conference ever meets.
