Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1878-01-31

Eastern affairs are in a curiously mudded
condition. The peace conference which was
to have settled everything. appears to have
settled nothing. The Turkish plenipOten-
tiarieS at keZanlik maintain a mysterious
silence, though three dispatches have been
sent them by the Porte. The frantic condition
OF Mr.. Layard, the English minister, in the
midst OF all this secresy and mystery, with
Russia's forces still fighting and her scouts
nearing COnstantinOple, may be imagined.
The English fleet steamed to the mouth of the
Dardanelles and then steamed back again.
The whole English government is going
through performance, now skipping towards
war and now retreating i'll an absurd fashion,
as it catches glimpSeS of RuSsia's hidden pur-
poses i'll different lights. Austria, too, is not
exactly pleased with the ObScurity in which
Russia wells her intentions and has addressed
her a note on the subject. If the Opp0Si-
ton to the government were not SO strong
in England and the cooperation of that
nation might he counted on as certain
Austria would perhaps act Jointly with her,
and take a more decided tone. But she does
not intend to get herself into difficulties with
her neighbors, with the prospect of being de-
serted at the last moment by England through
the success of the opposition. A victory for
the English government OH the credit vote
seems certain, however and the war feeling
among the people is increasing. 1t is likely
that the government will be sustained in
whatever measures it may decide to under
take. Meanwhile, there is much suffering
from cold famine and disease, at CONSTANT
nOple and along the European coast of the
Sea of MarmOra, where Turkish refugees,
numbering at least $4,000, have fled from the
scene of military operations; the Russians
are still fighting the Turks are still fOrtifying,
just as if no such thing as an armistice OF
peace had ever been dreamed of; and the
Greeks are bubbling over with enthusiasm
for the next war.

Tho Police Trial Committee.

A great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed
In police circles over the appointment of Major
Curtis as q member OF the trial committee to
hear and report upon charges against police
men. 1t is claimed that Curtis Is not under

property-clork by the grace Of tho deiunct and
Dot-muCh- regretted Police Board decision
by this trial committee, 1t Is said, will not be
legal, and may cause the new Commissioners u
great deal Of trouble. As regards Captain Brock
and Lieutenant Vernon, nothing oan be said
further than that both are conscientious and
faithful officers, and the members Of the force
find no fault with their Rpnointment
