ENGLAND STILL UNDECIDED.
Better Feeling Throughout
Eur ope.


England seems to the posi-
ton of the dog in the hanger willing
neither to define a policy OF her own
| nor 10 agree TO that of others. Three
of the leading newspapers this morn
ing, while admitting that England will
take part in the Congress-, claim that
| she will do so under an express under
standing that she is not to he bound by
it's decisions, If she is not salts fed with
them. The Times may well ask "What,
then, is The good Ut a congress-, or u
conference ?" 1t is difficult to under
stand what England wants, for it would
seem as though her interests had beer
left quite unthreatened. The feeling
throughout Europe is one of great
| relief, and but little prospect of further
war is mentioned; but here there are
vague hints and insinuations that the
danger is not yet passed, and thai the
congress may end between England
and Russia as that OF last year ended,
as regarded Russia and Turkey.
