LONDON Feb 25.-In the House Of Lords
this afternoon Lord Derby. in reply TO a ques-
ton of tho Earl OF Dunravon and Mount Earl.
said IL at the Russian demand for the Turkish
men. oi- war had been reiused sy the Porte He
hoped II would not be persisted liz IL inc
Egyptian tribute was demanded by Ruseia. the
matter would require serious consideration.
Respecting the alleged demand for the oxpul-
sion Of Mussumans from Bulgaria. Lord Dor
by said that whatever the demand was origi-
nally. he believed that IL had either been with
drawn or materially modified.
In the House Of Lords to-day Lord Strathe-
don-Campbell introduced motion similar to
the one that he was to have offered last Monday
evening. hut which on the appeal Of Lord
Derby he did not bring up as tho Gov
crnmcnt declared 1t could not then discuss
the subject. The motion is in substance that
in the opinion Of the House the conditions pro-
posed hy Russia TO the Porte are such as 10 Just-
fy her Malcsty's Government in taking every
pre- tau'ion To- discourage the cncroachmcnts by
which tho treaties OF 1856 and 1871 are threat
oncd.
In the course OF the debate which followed
Lord Derby spoke in decided terms concerning
RusslG's demand that the Egyptian tribute shall
be pledged for payment of the indemnity bonds.
He said it ght turn ont that British interests
would be- very much involved in any claim for
the payment Of part Of the indemnity from
that tribute. He pointed out that the occupation
of Armenia would bring the Russians no nearer
to India. Her MaJosty's Government. when they
adopted the policy Of neutrality. were aware
that Russia must eventually triumph and
