DIFFICULT TO AGREE
The special dispatches OF the Times and Post
from Berlin state that "the Batoum question is
still unsettled. Russia and England having failed
TO agree respecting the exact boundaries
The Times correspondent says the Russians have
also revived tho question touching the fortiaca-
ttons ana it is believed that they desire to gain
time The Daily Nesos despa tch from Berlin, how
ever, states that Lord Salisbury, contrary to
the arrangement between Lord Beaconsfleld and
Prince Gortschakofr, claimed that Turkey should
retain Oti as portion OF the Lazl territory. The
subject was Immediately referred to committee,
VINO arranged a compromise, which. however,
eedes Olti to Russia. The affair thus seems to be
virtually settled.
THE CzAR NOT SATISFIED.
The correspondent OF the Daily Neacs says the
Car does not view the acquisition OF Cyprus 80
favoraby as Prince Gortschakor does. Times
despatch from Berlin declares the rumor that the
Russian delegates mean to protest against occupa-
tlon OF Cyprus unfounded
NOT TAKEN DY SURPRISE.
The Vienna Political COr,espOn ndence states that
Count Schouvalon was apprised OF the Anglo
Turkish understanding three weeks ago. Vienna
papers generally approve OF England's course.
THE END TURKEY
The Berlin correspondent OF the Montdgs Post
VINO has frequently been the mouthpiece OF Prince
Bismarck, says the downfall OF Turkey is now un
avoidabe in consequence Of the influx OF Western
ideas
THE BRITISH FLAG OVER CYPRUS.
The Daily Telegraph believes that the British dag
WIS hosted at Cyprus on Monday by Lord John
Hay, the Commander of the Channel Squadron,
who had sealed orders to that effect, to be opened
on receipt Of a telegraphc despatch
now THE TREATY Is RECEIVED.
The London newspapers, excepting the Daily
Ne,cs, comment favorably on the Anglo-Turxish
treaty. The Times says:-"Although the trans.
formation OF Batonm INTO Tree port Is u valuable
guarantee Tor commercial interests which would
otherwise be threatened. Russia has successfully
insisted on the retention OF her more important
conquests IN Armenia. Lord Salisbury argues that
lnis successful conquest VIII have a dangerous ten
aency and create sense ol the instability Of the
Ottoman power throughout Syria, Asia Minor and
MesOpotanIa.
DANGER OF THESE CONCESSIONS
an plain words, ''thc Times says, "thc car would
begin to be recognized the natural heir OF the
Sultan. Lord Salisbury continucs-'it Is impossi-
bic for Her Malesty's government to accept with
out making an effort to avert 1t the effect which
such state OF ieenng would produce upon regions
whose political condition deeply concerns the
Oriental interests OF Great Britain
THE TURNING POINT.
"This sentence adds the Times, contains the
turning point OF the Ministerial policy, and upon
the agreement or disagreement with the con.
viction It expresses must depend the judgment Of
the country upon the measure now announced
IL IL by no means an easy question, whether IT be
worth our while TO undertake "a vast responsibility
for the purpose OF excluding Russia from Asia
Minor and the Euphratcs Valley.
WHAT DOES THE COUNTRY THINK
1T must be decided on a balance OF conflicting
CONSIDERATIONS, and OF this balance the best prac-
cablc test Is the settled opinion OF tie country at
large. But ol that there be little doubt and
the inevitable conclusion is that, If Russia should
be allowed further opportunity to encroach upon |
Ottoman power IN Asia, we should feel 1t an i'm
pcrativc necessity to interfere.
LOOKING ro THE FUTURE.
"But TINS being the case, 1t is certainly common |
prudence to adopt at once measures which viii !
render such cncroachments obviously iu,pract,. |
cable. five mean to stay the advance OF Russia In
tue end, we shall only act with common prudence |
In checking her at The outset. This can only bc |
done by guaranteeing our own authority the In.
tegrity vi the dominions OF the sultan In ASIA as |
they arc left by the Treaty OF Berlin"
PROFOUND SENSATION.
Though the announcement OF the AngIo.Turkish |
Treaty was not unexpectedly created a profound |
sensation. The Manchester Guardians London |
correspondent says:-"rhe nrst impressions among
leading men are that the governmen mt viii deem 1t |
necessary 70 appeal to the country; that the Inca
dent Will dazzle the constituencies, and that the
Premier will take advantage or that effect to re-.
new his lease oi Office. The fact that Turkey does
not part with her sovereignty over cyprus will
render u more diicult for the opposition to chal.
lcnge the policy OF the government.
SURE TO BE CHALLENGED.
'That 1t Will be challenged there can be no oues-
honi though, as yet. there is no Sign of move. |
