ditions.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-Count Schou-
valoff, Russian Ambassador, had
an interview with Lord Derby at
the latter's private residence to-
day.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in its
leading editorial article, says it
considers the alleged terms of
peace about as hard as they could
we'll be, and as amounting to the
virtual destruction of the Turkish
Empire and the reduction Of the
C,,lton RI tho ooo ditiap Of n Duo
sian vassal. If, after the publics.
ton Of these terms, the resigna-
lions of Lord Derby and Carnar-
Won are Withdrawn, we may con-
clude that no effective resistance
will be made by England to what
ever agreement the Gear and Sui
tan may come to.
Earl CarAarvon's Explanation.
LONDON, January 25th.-In the
House of Lords this afternoon,
Lord Beaconsfisld, answering the
Earl of Sandwich, said it was a
fact that instructions had been
given to the fleet to proceed to the
Dardanelles and Constantinople.
At the same time the Government
was prepared to telegraph to the
European Powers, including Rus
STA and the Porte, that, in the
course the Government had fol-
lowed, there was not the slightest
deviation from the policy of neu-
trality they had first announced.
He maintained that the British
fleet went to the Dardanelles to de-
fend British subjects and British
property and to take care Of British
interests in the straits. Since the
Government had arrived at that
resolution it had become acquaint.
ed with the proposed conditions of
peace, and having examined those
conditions, the Government had
given directions to the Admiral to
remain in Besika Bay. They had
not, under these circumstances,
circulated throughout Europe the
telegraphic dispatch to which he
had referred.
The Earl of Carnarvon rose to
make u personal explanation. He
said that, in order to justify his
conduct, he wished to state the
reasons which led him to resign
the Colonial Secrstaryship. That
step he had taken, and the Queen
was graciously pleased to accept it.
He would not lmpute blame to
any of his colleagues, but circum-
stances had arisen which rendered
it incumbent on him to take this
course. He had dissented from the
resolution for sending q fleet
to the Dardanelles and also
to the supplementary vote
which the Chancellor of the
Exchequer had proposed to take on
Monday. He considered that such
q vote ought not have been mooted
until the terms of peace arrived
and became known. On January
I'd he had occasion to address q
deputation. 1t would be remem-
bered that he had made a speech in
which he expressed his views re-
garding the state Of affairs In the
East. On the following day in Cab
met the Prime Minister condemned
severely the language he had
used. He (Lord Carnaryon) took
time to consider the course he
should take under the circu mstan-
ces and as there was no public dis
avowal Of the language which had
been used, he felt justified in ten
dsring his resignation. He main
tained that he had not in any way
misrepressntsd the intentions of
the Government.
