the most honorable triumphs in the modern
diplomacy of England. To the fame of a dis,

AN IMMENSE THRoNG OF PEOPLE.
4p. m-The vicinity of Charing Cross and
Trafalgar square are packed with people. The
passage on the West Strand and Whitehall
street, even for pedestrians, is blocked. The
Char,ng Cross hotel and the houses on either
side OF the way to Downing street are covered
with flags and decorations. Many American
Gags are flying, including fine display from
the American exchange. Opposite the Char
ing Cross hotel the carriages of the nobility
are constantly arriving from the direction of
Pail Mall, and each is received with cheers
from the crowd. At this hour the reserved
seats in the station are filed with ladies, who
are IN gala costume, and the scene is very
brilliant.
LORD BEACoNSFIELD ALIGHTED
at the Charlng Cross railway station at fifty
minutes past four. After brief hand shaking
Beaconsfeid and Lord and Lady Salisbury en-
West Strand there was one continuous cheer
and showers of bouquets. The crowd ftl-
lowed the carriage cheering and throwing
flowers all the way to Downing street.
After reaching his residence, Lord Bea-
consfeld, in response 10 repeated calls from
the crowd, appeared at a window and
thanked them for his reception. He said
Lord Salisbury and himself had brought back
peace, but peace, he hoped, with honor
such as would satisfy his sovereign and the
country.
THE STABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF
TURKEY ASSURED BY THE BERLIN TREATY
OF PEACE.
LONDON, July 16-An official dispatch
from the marquis of Salisbury to minister
who remained in London, dated Berlin, July
18th, is published. Lord Salisbury says the
notifications obtained at the congress are of
very large effect. Almost all the articles of
the treaty have recovered large territory for
the sultan, and tend to assure the stability
and independence of Turkey. The dispatch
combats the allegation that the government
had abandoned the policy indicated i'll Lord
Salisbury's circular of April 1st. For this
purpose it compares, point by point, the pol
icy indicated by the circular with the decisions
adopted by the congress. The comparison
shows that the object of British policy, name
ly, the prevention of Russian preponderance,
has been substantially attained. Lord Sails
bury especially points to the fact that pecu-
MARY indemnity has been altogether ex-
cluded from the treaty of Berlin.
The congress having declined to revise any
arrangement which is no lnfractlon OF the
treaty of Paris, il is within the competence of
two independent powers to conclude the re-
suit of the declaration made by the Russians
in congress, that they would neither claim
territory in lieu OF indemnity or prejudice the
claims of other creditors. The payment of
indemnity Is postponed to an indefinite and
remote period. Salisbury concludes as fol-
lows: whether use will be made of this,
probably the last, opportunity obtained for
Turkey by the Interposihon of the powers,
and particularly by England, depends on the
sincerity with which the Turkish statesmen
now address themselves to the duties OF good
government and reform"
THE AUsTRo- HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENTARY
ELECTIONS.
LONDON, July 16.-The general parlia-
mentary elections in Austro Hungary have
been fixed for the fourth and fifteenth of Au-
gust. Canvassing is quite active, especially
N Hungary, where the opposition party cry
IS sympathy for Turkey and condemnation of
Bosnian occupation. Herr lisa, the Hun
garian premier, yesterday made great
speech to his constituents at Debreczin,
warmly upholdiug the governments foreign
policy and arguing that Bosnian occupation
will be the death-blow to PanSclavic in
trigues, and that part of Turkey which is so
antagonistic to Hungarian interests and SYM
pathles. The speech was much applauded.
Tiszas reelection for DebrecziD is regarded
as certain, although the extreme left is very
strong aud aggressive there.
RoUMANIAN AFFAIRS.
The Roumanian chambers will probably
adjourn on the eighth of July and reassem-
ble to consider the treaty of Berlin about the
first of September, unless, as is possible, a
general election shall be ordered fer an as
sembly specially to decide upon the requisite
changes IN the constitution.
