The political situation of Europe, says a
London telegram of the 22d, may be summed
up as follows: The treaty of Berlin is being
treated as a rope of sand and each of the
powers are doing all in their power to bring
it into contempt. The news of Russia's pro-
posals to Turkey for the acknowledgment to
pay the money indemnities specified in the
treaty of San Stefano has excited much in
dignation. 1t is construed as another threat
of war. Turkey is unable to pay a
single piastre. A demand upon her to the
immense sum named in the San Stefano
treaty can mean only mischief While
Russia is making this demand, Germany is
besieging the English Cabinet with requests
to join her in compelling Turkey to comply
with all the expressed and implied stipula-
tions of the treaty of Berlin, requests to which
Lords Salisbury and Beaconsfield turn deaf
ear. Meanwhile Russia at home is engaged
in deadly struggle with the revolutionary
elements in her own population, and every
day new discoveries of the extent and import
ance of the plots of the Nihilists come to
light.
