A GENERAL ELECTION DECIDED ON.
A correspondent of the Manchester Guar
dian says that the government has decided
upon a general election In principle, and it
will depend upon circumstances when the
election takes place. The impression is that
if the explanations of Beaconsield are well
received, and the opposition or section there
OF challenge his policy, that will be made
justification for gong to the country and re-
newing the conservative lease of office. Many
members of the cabinet are opposed to the
general election, but the premier strongly
favors it.
At a meeting of the members of the COM
mon council of London to-day, it was re-
solved to bring forward motion at the gen.
eral meeting of the council that Lords Bea-

Rlstlcs, the Servlan premier, Is there on his
way to Belgrade, and has had a conference
with Count Andrassy, who likewise received
the Roumanian agent and two Montenegro
ENJOYS, who have returned from Berlin. Be-
sides the negotiations with Turkey, others
with the smaller States seem to have been
taken IN hand. The matters to be treated of
are numerous, political as we'll as CONNER
cial, and relate to the opening of communl
cations. By the independence which these
small border States have acquired through
the decision of the congress, all their internal
relations are changed, and must be regulated
atresh. Reciprocity, extradition, CONNER
claI and other treaties must be concluded with
them. The agreement signed at Berlin by
the Austrian and ServIan delegates to the
congress stipulated for the completion within
three years of the Belgrade and Nisch, the
Sofia and Nisch, and the Nisch and Nitro
vita railways. The conclusion of CONNER
clal convention between the two countries is
also contemplated.

lg public his recollections of former discus t
ussions of the cabinet. The scene in the '
ouse of lords surpassed In brlliiancy and an I
nation anything within the memory of the S

Ike Dr. Oates. He said Lord Derby did not c

llled to order, Lord Salisbury substituted C
lie term incorrect" for mot true. and dis t
aimed any intention to impugn Derby's vc- b
