WHAT rs GOING ON IN EUROPE.
The barbarous Eastern contest is drift

The barbarous Eastern contest Is drifting
to its close. An armistice has probably been
signed, and In a few days treaty of peace will
be concluded. to the great Joy Of the business
communities OF Europe.
The terms OF peace are as yet kept secret. and
the versions which appeared yesterday in the
Ne,os and the Telegraph Of London are not to be
relied on. II is highly improbable that Batoum.
Kars. and Erzeroum are to be kept by Russia
only till the indemnity is paid. The Car can
not. out OF regard to his own people. terminate
the war without some permanent acquisition Of
territory in Armenia The port OF Batoum IL
especially important to him, and Russian dip
lomacy has coveted II ever since the beginning
Of this century. 1t will give Russia great in
let and outlet OF the trade with Persia and Asia
Minor. and will become a point Of great strate-
gical Importance In case OF any troubles In the
Cars trans Caucasian domnions. The weak
point OF Russia on the Caucasus has always
been the lack Of any port on tho eastern or
southeastern shore Of the Black Sea-
7! % money indemnity, too. seems incredibly
small. 1t is only onc-tenth Of what Germany
exacted from France, and but one-sixth of the
sum to which, as stated in the recently-pub-
lished Russian Budget. the extraordinary war
expenses have amounted. To take 900 900 900
for an outlay Of 5000. 900 Is. perhaps. wise
thing. keeping In view the bankrupt condition
Of Turkey. But the little difference Of $500. 0OO-
600 will probably be taken in something else, if
it cannot be got in cash.
II the reported terms OF peace In any way
approach truth. tho only substantial winner
will be tho treacherous and cowardly Scrvia.
In n recent conversation with a London jour
nalist. Midhat Pasha very favorably put the case
of this miserable prineiuality:
