TERMS OF PEACE READ IN THE MOSQUES OF
CONSTANTINOPLE.
A telegram from COnStantinOple confirms
the report that all the Russian conditions
were accepted by the Porte Thursday after
noon. An appeal was read Yesterday in the
news Meanwhile the conditions are Kept a
profound secret Reuters telegram from Con-
stantinOple states that Safyet Pasha informed
engagement to keep the conditions secret
until the treaty was signed. 1t had yesterday
telegraphed to its penipotentiaries to accept
the conditions. It would communicate them
to the ambassadors the moment they were
finally signed. 1t is again alleged that the
Russians are advancing on Gallipoli.
RUSSIAN TERMS DESTRUCTIVE OF TURKEY.
Yesterday afternoons Pail Mall GGzeite, in
its leading editorial article, says that it con
Siders the alleged terms of peace about as
hard as they could well be- and as amounting
pire, and reduction of the Sultan to the con
dltIOn of Russian VaSSal If" says the
Pail Mall Gazette, latter the publication of
the terms, the designations of Lord Derby and
CafnafVOn are Withdrawn, we may conclude
that no etfectual resistance will be made by
England to whatever agreement the Car and
Sultan may come to-
THE BRITISH CABINET CRISIS.
The Earl OF CarnarVOn made a full eXplana-
ton OF his reasons for reSigning, which were
the orders for moving the feet, which he felt
was violation of the principles o. neutrality
hitherto governing the cabinet. The Earl of
BeaconSfield made reply stating that the
orders to the feet were only given when it was
fslt that British IN, Interests were endangered BY
Inc advance OF the Russian troops toward Gal
llpOli and COnStantinOple.
CABINET sPECULATIONS.
The London Standard says" We under
stand the Duke OF Buckingham will probably
succeed the Earl OF Carnarvon.' The same
journal in its leading article says" Lord
Derby is still at the foreign office and we shall
be slow to believe he will find it inconsistent
with his duty not to abandon the cabinet at
such a crisis
An informal cabinet council was held in
London, and as it appeared the cabinet was in
danger of disruption it was for that reason
fleet to enter the Dardanelles though the adj
miral has been instructed to remain in
position from which he can cover Galip0li.
Extreme minSterialiSts think after that Lord
Beaconfield's statement in the Hous1 of Lords
last night there is no necessity for either Derby
or CaTnarVon to resign. This is probable, as
regards Lord Derby, whose resignation is
stated to be only in the hands of Lord BeaeOns-
field, and not yet submitted to the Queen.
The latest lobby rumOrS are pacific. Many
radicals think the vote of supplementary sup
pies, after all, will not be demanded on Mon
day. No definite action has yet been decided
upon by the opposition, many liberals wish
ing TO await the government explanation on
Monday. Before the explanations were made
last night minors were freely circulated that
dissolution OF Parliament was imminent in
consequence OF the probable resignation of
the Marquis of Salisbury and the disruption
of the cabinet. The situation is now regarded
as easier, and an immediate dissolution is inn
probable.

patch vessel Lively and the igate Newcastle

A special from Athens to the London Stand
ard says the new ministry have published a

the country and protect Greeks residing in
