mediately after Sir Stafford North,
c0te's announcement IN the house Of
commons, u meeting Of liberal leaders
was held. The Marquis OF partlngtOn
and Right Hon. John Bright, w. H..
Foster and III. g.. Elders were present.
The meeting decided that the vote was
moi war vote, but merely one OF prep
aration demanded by tho exigencies Of
the situation, ana If II was proposed
by u united cabinet, there should be
no opposition.
The Times editorial leader intimates
that Lord Carnovan will probably OK.
plain hls withdrawal from the cabinet
In the house of lords tonight. IL ro.
marks that i've million pounds IL said
to be the amount of the vote for naval
and military supplies contemplated by
government. The Times desres fur,
ther explanation of the reasons Cor the
vote, and adds that the public will not
fail TO show the moment has come at
which they must insist on unmistaka-
bic declarations, and must make their
own voice heard with equal Distinct,
ness. The critical hour In our relation
to the eastern question has evidently
the unanimous action which has hith-
erto commanded the support of the
country. We must know whore we
are ana whittier we are going.
1t seems certain that the Earl OF
Carnovan, colonial secretary, and Lord
Derby, foreign secretary, have tender
ed their designations, perhaps the for
mer has been accepted, though II Is not
quite certain. The cause of the resig.
nations WAS not 80 much the determi-
nation to ask for supplementary sup
plies for naval and military service as
the intention to take steps which will
be sure to lead TO war, which Lord
Derby and Carnovam are not yet pre-.
pared TO admit is unavoidable. such
overt action would undoubtedly include
the occupation of GallipOli, hut In
structions given TO the commander of
the British fleet are not that he shall
not land force ut BOulair, but shall
hold force in readiness to land on
receipt of authentic information Of the
Russian force advancing on Gallipoli,
1t il still possible, therefore, that the
Russian march may be stayed and
peace preliminaries held In time TO
prevent disruption OF the British
cabinet. All that is known this morn.
ing about the cabinet dissensi0ns and
warlike preparations comes through
liberal newspapers, indicating the in.
tention OF dissenting members In the
government to give public opinion an
opportunity to make itself heard. The
chances are that strong anti-war agi-
tatiOn will commence Immediately,
but continued Russian advance and
apparent intention to ignore England
have produced strong impression
here, and there is good belief that
government would be supported In
forcibly preventing "a Russian occupa.
ton Of Constantinople.
II the resignation of Lords Carnovan
and Derby, or either, is accepted, 1t
will probably lead to an explanation
In the house OF lords to night, which
will make the whole situation clear.
Meanwhile, exaggeration and alarm
are premature, but the danger is inN
creased by the motive this new action
OF England will furnish to Turkey for
rejecting Russia's condition.
In reierenc to the assertion of the
daily News that the British fleet now
at Saros has been ordered to land
marines and sailors it is interesting to
note that the Gulf of Saros Is close to
the lines Of Gallipoli and is the nearest
and most convenient place for landing.
Relative to the reported designations
OF Lords Derby and Carnovan, the
Telegraph says that up to late hour
no confirmation was received OF these
reports, while the turn of political
events renders it less likely that any
such changes. il ever contemplated,
should be realized.
The news in this mornings papers
seem slightly exaggerated. 1t il the
natural result of the excitement which
prevailed yesterday.
