THE EASTERN QUESTION.
! Better Feeling in England.
LONDON, January 25.-Consols opene
this morning at 94.5O, but at 1890, unde
, the influence OF better feeling the pric
advanced to 95. Dispatches indicate tha
an armistice will be concluded to-day,
TALK OF RESIGNATION IN THE CABINET
Il seems certain that the Earl Of Car
naryon, the Colonial Secretary, and Lord
Derby, the Foreign Secretary, have ten.
dered their designations; perhaps the for
mer has been accepted, though It Ia no
quite certain. The cause Of these resig
nations was not 30 much u determination
TO ask for supplementary supplies for tn,
naval and military service as the inten
tion to take steps which will be sure I,
lead to 4 war which Lords Derby ant
Carnarvon are not yet prepared TO admit
as unavoidable. II the resignation o.
Lords Carnaryon and Derby, or either oil
them, are accepted II will probably lead
10 explanations in the House OF Lord
tonight, which will make the who'll
situation clear. Meanwhile exaggera-
ton and alarm are premature, but tht
danger is increased by the motive thi.
new action Of England will furnish Tur-
key for rejecting Russias conditions.
All known this morning about the
Cabinet dissensions and the warlike pre-,
parations comes through the Liberal
newspapers, Indicating the intention oI
the dissenting members OF the Govern
ment TO give public opinion an opportu-
nifty 10 make itself heard, and the chances
are strong that the anti.war agitation will
begin Immediately, but the continued
Russian advance and the apparent deter
mination to ignore England, have pro.
duced strong impression, and good
Judges believe the Government would be
Supported in forcibly preventing the
Russians from OCCUPYING Constantinople.
The Government organs show disposi-
ton to neutraliEe the importance OF the
action thus far taken.
COMMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
The Standard says: Now that the
Russian terms OF peace have been made
known to the Porte and are now being
discussed II, comes as an opportunity TO
temper the excitement and exaggerated
alarm that foolish people may Otherwise
have felt at the intention OF the Govern
ment 10 move on Monday for supple
mentary credit. We don't hesitate TO
say that the mere fact that delay Of four
days Is 10 elapse before the motion comes
on Is sufficient indication that in the
opinion Of the Government the peril
against which 1t is to guard is by no
means pressing, though It is absolutely
necessary that Russia should receive
hint that she has tried our patience too
long.
The Provincial Journal says: The Duke
OF Cambridge, Field Marshal, command
ing.in chief, who was visiting IN the
country, was Unexpectedly summoned 10
London by telegraph Wednesday morn
ing.
THE BASIS OF PEACE AGREED UPON THUS
FAR.
The Daily Telegraph prints the follow.
ing from Constantinople:
The Turkish delegates have been
ordered 10 sign the peace preliminaries
and an armistice will probable be con-
cluded to-day. The peace conditions
are stated on excellent authority
to include the following: Servia is
to be Independent without compensations;
Montenegro Is 10 receive Antivari, Mic.
sics and Spuse and portion OF the ter.
ritory bordering on Lake Scutar. Rus
sia is 10 hold Battoum, Kars and Erze-
roum until the war indemnify, Of twenty
million pounds is paid. The Dardenelles
is 10 be opened TO the Russian men Of war,
but the Garian autonomy is TO be con-
ceded rather on the principle Of Leban-
on than on the plan Of the Constanti-
nople conference; and Turkey is to nom
mate Christian government for long
term Of years, subject TO ratification by
the powers. Bulgaria was not under.
stood 10 include the Race but only TO ex-
tend 10 the line OF the Balkans. Part Of
the Russian army Is TO embark at Con.
stantinople for their return home and a
final treaty Of peace ia To be signed at
Constantinop.e by Grand Duke Nicholas.
This arrangement will satisfy Russian
military honor without involving the oc-
cupation Of Coustantinople. There is no
mention Of Roumania In this dispatch.
RuMoRs THAT ARE DsoREDTED.
The Globe says it has reason to believe
there Is no foundation whatever for the
statement that instructions have been
forwarded to the commander OF the Med.
iterranean fleet at Saros to land near the
Boulair force OF marines and Blue Jack
eta TO act as ad interim defenders OF the
town Of Gallipoli, and also to have six
OF his roomiest ships ready to bring up
the mass OF the Malta Garrison.
The Globe also says il has reason 10 be.
lieye that Lord Derby will remain in the
Cabinet.
