WHAT Is GoIyo ON IN EUROPE.

Lord BcacOnShcld'S thcatrical coup at
Berlin has been the all absorbing topic OF the
week. 1t has been heraldcd all over tho world.
and In the eyes Of the vast majority OF people
the English Premier has become tho greatest
statesman Of his time; for he Is supposed to
have beaten all the penipotentiarles assembled

seizure Of Cyprus was the only salvation Of the
British Grand vizior. He can claim now that
he does not return homo with empty hands;
and he has also provided employment for the
1000 Indian troops no brought over at such
enormous expense. Tho suggestion that the
Chancellors OF Germany and Russia did not
suspect the existence OF any euch arrangement
will probably turn out to be wholly erroneous.
Tho former, ut all events. has more than once
urged England to occupy Egypt; consequently
he could not have seen any objection to tho
much less important occupation OF the island
over which the British flag has been flying
since Thursday. And II Bismarck knew OF the
arrangement Gortchakon certainly knew oil
1t, too They did not protest against II simply
because they did not think II worth while to do
