The situation I'm England.
LONDON, January 25.-It seems GER
tain that the Earl of Csrnsrvon, Coloni-
al Secretary, and Lord Derby, Foreign
Secretary, have rendered their resigns-
tions. Perhaps the formers has been &C
cepted, though this is not quite certain.
The cause of the designations was not So
much q determination to ask for supple
mentsry supplies for naval and military
service, as the intention to take steps
which will be sure to lead to war,
which Lords Derby and Carnarvan
are not yet prepared to ad-
NIT is unavoidable. If the resignation
of Lords Csrnsrvon and Derby, or
either, than are accepted. 1t will prob
ably lead to explanations in the House Of
Lords tonight which will make the
whole situation clear. Meanwhile exag-
geration and alarm are premature, but
the danger is increased by motive. This
new action Of England will furnish Tur-
KEY reason for rejecting Rus
sia's conditions. All that is known
this afternoon about Cabinet discussions
and warlike preparations comes through
the Liberal newspapers, indicating that
| il is the intention of the dissenting men,
bers of the government to give public
opinion an opportunity 10 make itself
heard, and the chances are strong that
an snti-war agitation will begin immedi-
stely. but the continued Russian advance
and apparent determination to ignore
England, have produced strong impress
sion and good Judges believe the govern
ment would be supported in torcibly pre-.
venting the Russians from occupying
Constantinople. Government organs
show disposition to minimize the I'M
portance OF the action thus far taken.
The Standded says: The news that
the Russian terms Of peace have been
made known to the Porte, and are now
being discussed by it, comes opportuEely
to temper the excitement and exagger'
ated alarm that foolish people may other
wise have felt at the intention OF the
government to move, Monday, for q
supplementary credit. We do net hosl-
tate TO cay that the mere fact that de-
lay of four days is to elapse before the
motion comes on. is SUFFICIENT
indication that in the opinion OF the gov.
eminent the peril against which it Is to
guard is by no means pressing, though
it is absolutely necessary that Russia
should receive the hint that she has tried
our patience too long.
The Provincial Journal says: The
Duke of G mbridge, Field Marshal Com
mander.in- Chief, who was visiting in the
country, was Unexpectedly summoned to
London by telegraph on "Wednesday
morning.
The Globe says it has reason to be-
lieve that there is no foundation whatev-
or for the statement that instructions
have been forwrrded to the commander
of the Mediterranean feet at Saros 10
land near Boulair, the force Of marines
and blue jackets TO act as ad interim de-
tenders OF Gsllipoli, and also to have six
of his roomlest ships ready to bring up
the mass OF the Malta garrison. The
Globe also says it has reason to believe
that Lord Derby will remain in the CAB.

Peace Practically Concluded.
CoHsTASTINoPLE, January 25.-The
Porte having yesterday accepted the
Russian conditions, peace is regarded as
