The Asked.Fsr Credits In Esgissd.
LONDON, Feb. Ain the House OF Com.
mons this afternoon Gladstone suggested
an address 10 the Crown from both houses,
assuring the Queen Of support In confer
encc instead Of . vote Of credit. Glad.
stone said the armistice removed all sp-
p~rehonsions Of Turkeys being encouraged
BY tho hope Of English aid. II also re-
moved the reason for persevering In the
vote, now that there was no apprehension
Of Russian occupation OF Constantinople.
Tho Government, by the menacing Att.
tude they proposed TO assume, were taking
q step In tho direction OF barbarism and
violence. Perseverance In the vote could
only demonstrate that the nation was d.
vidcd. While urging that the vote Of credit
DO withdrawn In favor Of tho address 70
the Crown, which he had prepared. he con.
ccded the necessity Of supporting the
Government by some declaration before
they entered In the conference. He would
support the Government In using their In
fiuence 10 induce Russia TO relinquish her
claim for the retrocession Of BcssarabiA I;
also, in everything relating 10 the FREQ
navigation Of tho Danube, and In obtain

were sudden and unforeseen. Russian
bases Of peace were exceedingly vague and.
although II had been told that the con.
dition relative 70 the Straits was with

ment's object was 70 secure . permanent
and solid peace. Grudging $4,000. 900
