LONDON, Feb. 8.-A Berlin dispatch says
of Parliament yesterday making no mentio
of the three emperors' alliance, but empha
sizing the existence of friendly relation
with all the powers, and more especial
Austria, it is concluded that the Germa

gagement to support the new demands
Russia. This inference is not lit
strengthened by the royal speech express
mentioning the programme agreed upon
Constantinople as basis of the comm
peace.

in regard to the joint Interpolation to
addressed to the Imperial chancellor i4qui

THE THUNDERER S SAY.
The Times in leading editorial sa
that it does not share in the excitement a
alarm which yesterdays news created
many quarters, but thinks the time
come when the whole responsibility of acti
ought to be thrown on the government a
generous support be accorded, if the leg
innate interests of the country are to be p
tected. 1t says the government may have
act and to act promptly. It is impossi
for the opposition to act for them or ts
their places, and it ought now to be left
them to take the course they deem necess
on their responsibility. It is to be hol
that the division of last night will close
controversy which, however properly raj
at the outset, is now wholly out of place.
