Yesterday marks another era In the
march Of events which seem likely to cul.
inmate In an European war. Prince dort-
schakoff has completed his answer 10 Lord
Salisbury's circular relative to the Treaty
Of San stsfsno. and the full tert, We are
told. was this morning given to the Eng.
lish people In the columns OF the London
T;ms.. A mere summary has been trans.
mittsd 10 us by cable. which We print be-
low. The document Is Of . nature to dis.
pei the hopes which friends Of peace have
hitherto entertained. In fact. u 10 OF .
piece with nearly all the Russian diplo.
macy which has characterized this conflict.
Il embraces . great many words, and says
comparatively little. II does not answer
Englsnd's objections TO the Treaty OF Ban
stefano, but asks her 10 suggest something
better TO +" protect Christians" Now this
10 Just what England does not propose to
do. shs takes the broad ground that
neither she nor Russia has any right to
settle . question In which all Europe 10 In
terested, and insists that the entire treaty
shall 10 submitted to Q Congress. Gort-
s~chakoff's circular, by implication. 70
fuses to 30 submit It, and tins practically
leaves the Eastern question precisely where

will continue to strengthen herself In her
