LONDON, Feb. 25.-In the House of Lords,
Lord Derby, in reply to question, said the
Russian demand for the Turkish men-of-
war has been refused by the Porte. He
hoped it would not be persisted in. If the
Egyptian tribute was demanded by Russia,
the matter would require serious considera-
ton. Respecting the alleged demand for
the expulsion of Mussulmen from Bulgaria,
Lord Derby said, whatever the demand was
originally, he believed it had either been
withdrawn or materially modified.
a VOTE OF APPROVAL.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-In the House of Lords
-Lorda Stratheden and Campbell introduced
motion similar to the one he was to have
offered last Monday evening, but which, on
appeal of Lord Derby, he did not bring up,
discuss the subject. The motion is in sub
stance that in the opinion of the House the
conditions proposed by Russia to the Porte
are such as to justify Her Majesty's govern
ment in taking every precaution to
discourage encroachments by which
the treaties of 1856 and 1871 are threatened.
In the course of the debate which followed,
Lord Derby spoke in decided terms concern
ing Russia's demand, that the Egyptian
tribute shall be pledged for payment of in
demnity bonds He said it might turn out
that British interests would be very much
involved in any claim for 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
Majesty's government, when they adopted
the policy of neutrality, were aware that
Russia must eventually triumph and very
great changes ensue It was unfair to blame
the government now, because a state of
things had arisen which was the necessary
result of the attitude of neutrality which
the nation, at the commencement of the
war, supported them in taking up. Lord
| Derby concluded by giving the previous
question, which was ultimately agreed to,
without division.
