FAT ACCoMPLI.
LONDON, Feb. ia Vienna special says:
It is quite possible that the Car will succeed
i'll concluding negotiations with Turkey be-
fore the conference meets, thus creating the
desired fat accompl,, but after the declara-
tions of the British and Austrian govern
ments, she can scarcely expect that such
fat accompk will be Internationally recog-
nized. AS regards this government, it has
not omitted, in its confidential communica
tions to st. Petersburg, to point out the
clauses in the preliminary stipulations signed
at Adrianople, which affect European and
Austrian interests in the matter, on which
accomplished facts could scarcely be recog
nized. No written notes have been ex-
changed on the subject, but for all that. the
Russian government is fully aware how far
such fat accompli, expected by treaty with
Turkey, are likely to be recognized by this
country.

DERBY's NOTE.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-Lord Derby's protest
against Russian occupation of CONSTANT
nople is published. It is very decidedly
worded. 1t demonstrates that the entry of
Russian troops would be violation of the
armistice, and might provoke disorders caus-
ing the very danger to Christians which the
Russian government deprecate. 1t concludes
as follows: "They, Her Majesty's govern
met, cannot acknowledge that the dispatch
of British ships to Constantinople has any
bearing on the entry of Russian troops into
the city, which latter measure, they consider,
is uncalled for by any circumstances of mil
itary or other necessity, and the consequences
of which may be most disastrous to the
whole population of the city.
Lord Derby has also telegraphed to Lord
Lotus, on February 18th, that he had ex-
pressed to Count Schouvaloff the govern
ment's earnest hope that the Russian troops
would not make any movement towards Gal
ipoli or any movement of nature to
threaten the communications of the fleet, as
any such movement would be regarded in
England as compromising the safety of the
fleet, and in the excited state of public feel
ing he could not answer for the consequences
which might be most serious"
SUGGESTIVE IF TRUE.
VIENNA, Feb. 15.-It is reported that the
Austrian minister of finance will proceed to
London on special mission.
THE THREE EMPERoRs.
BERLIN, Feb. ia request was received
from st. Petersburg yesterday that German
influence would make itself felt. That in
fuence cannot but be peaceful. In spite of
assertions to the contrary, the relations e1-
listing between the three imperial courts, not
only place all idea of any GOODNESS arising be-
tween them entirely out of the question, but
| also offer sure guarantee for the main
tenance of the general peace.

has gone to Russian headquarters charged
to endeavar to dissuade the Grand Duke
Nicholas from occupying Constantinople..
The Russians, Friday morning, occupied the
Sanudie redoubt, which is part of the Con-
stantinople line of defense. Although Aus

of Constantinople she will not abandon her
present attitude if occupation is accomplished
peacefully and with the consent of Turkey.
Russia notified the Porte that she had pre-
vailed upon Greece to adopt pacific attitude
VIEWS GF EHE THUNDERER.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Times says: ''The
significance of sending the feet to Constan-
tinople is even greater than its immediate
importance, and very powerful force is now
in position to maintain our interests in the
Bosphorus and Dardanelles." The Time,
hopes that Russia will admit the force Of
Lord Derby's protest, and will not, from
perfectly sentimental motives, order thu
Russian troops to take up menacing at
titude, which, it says, is wholly unnecessar.
for the protection of their interests.
