THE EASTERN WAR.
Suffering Among Turkish Refugees
An Appeal for Aid.

Committee of the Red Crescent Society
telegraphs from Constantinople, an ap-
peal to sll kindred Committees of the
Red Crescent, all benevolent institutions
and all kind-hearted men Of all nations.
1t says considerable number of wound
ed soldiers are hocking into Constantiple
from all parts of the country. Nearly
10000 refugees, victims of the war are
flying from the scene OF military opera
tions, deprived of all means OF existence
and almost naked, constitutes situation
which considering the limited re-
sources of the Red Crescent Society,
might end in disaster and general
calamity; that small poI and
typhus have commenced among the ref
ugees, and that efforts are being made to
send them to Asia. 1t is spprehended
that the increased popu alton of Con-
stantinople will occasion scarcity of pro-
visions, unless there is some special et-
fort from without to replenish stores.
Eight thousand refugees arrived on Mon
day. 1t is impossible for all to find shell.
ter; many are huddled IN open fields,
knee deep in mud, and water. The
wholesale exodus from Roumanis is un-
abated.
English Parliament.
LONDON, January 30.-ln the House
of Commons this evening, Prime, Con-
servstive Member for Gravesend, gave
notice he would move tomorrow,
that the House while giving the Gov
eminent due credit for maintaining the
policy determined upon, after solemn as
surances OF the Car, that he desired
only immunity for the Christian SUBJ
jects of the Porte, and aimed at no ag-
grsndisement, whatever is Of the opin-
ion, these assurances are being
deliberately evsded by the proposed
terms of peace and the advance of the
Russian arms, and believes the time has
come when the immediate action Of
England is an absolute necessity, and re-
quests forthwith estimates for placing
tie army and navy on war footing.
Prim represents the strong Turcophile
section of the;house.
LONDON, January 30.-Glsdstone in
accepting an address from the Liberal
Association at Oxford to-day, said he
considered the sending of the feet 10 the
Dardsnelles and act of war and breach
of neutrality. The vote of SIX millions
would be taken by Turkey as an en-
couragement to prolong the war. He
feared the vote would be carried by the
failure of the Irish members to oppose
it. though he hoped for Irelsnd's honor,
those who had themselves been struggling
for freedom, would respect and
sympsthize with the freedom of others.
He said that the Liberals were in the
minority IN the House OF Commons, but
they had the country with them on this
question. 1t rested with the country to-
day whether it would incur the burden
OF this vote and encourage Turkey 10
persevere IN prolonging the civil and
bloody struggle which has already
brought her we'll nigh unto destruction.
Prospects or the Credit Vote.
LONDON, January 30.-The Conservs-
tives in the House Of Commons are ex-
pected to give their solid support 70 the
credit vote on Thursday, One or two
defections are probable. The Liberals,
however, are divided. The home rulers
have not yet determined on their course.
Such are mainly Uultramontsne, and
will support the Government. The ma
jority for the Credit is already estimated
at over 100. Meetings are beng held
throughout the country TO influence Par
lament against the Credit, but mostly by
Liberals or Reformers. No non-psrtizan
meeting has been sttmpted. An open
air meeting at Sheffield yesterday for the
purpose OF opposing the Government
was turned into an anti Russian demon
stratlon. An amendment to the original
resolution, against credit, was carried
by an immense majority, declaring that
the cause of peace and the interest of the
Empire will be best promoted by sup
porting the foreign policy of the govern
ment. The meeting numbered twenty
thousand persons. They sang patriotic
songs, cheered Lord Besconsfeld's name
and greeted Lord Csrnsrvon's with
Kisses and cries of Traitor" Some Of
the leading provincial newspapers are
taking an anti.Russian tone.
