ENCOURAGING STILL.
LONDON, May 25.-A Vienna correspondent
telegraphs that the hopeful disposition in po-
lical circles increases, especially in St. Peters
burg and Berlin. There has been an active in
terchange of ideas between Austria and Great
Britain, which there is every reason to believe

standing between them, SO that Russia by COM
ing to an understanding with England will
also agree with Austria.

The Times has the following from Athens:
The burning of the sublime porte buildings
and the attempt of Ali Suavi to proclaim Murad
as Sultan, taken in conjunction with the ap-
proach of the Russians to Constantinople
cause the belief here that the sultan has plac-
ed himself under the protection of the Russians.

gross exaggerations No reports of an engage
ment have been received for some time past.

tian ports. Ironclads will leave Immediately

THE MINORITY BULLDOZED.
LONDON, May 24.-The majority in the House
of Com mons last night against Lord Harting-
toms resolution that no force be raised or kept
by the crown in time of peace save within
India without sanction of Parliament was
nearly double the figure conceded by the oppo-
sition, all of whose estimates placed the gov.
ernment's majority at about sixty or seventy.
The Times, referring to this, says: This was
because the debate brought out clearly the fact
that the real issue was approval or condemna.

the Indian troops. Under that Interpretation

ernment's methods may exercise Parliament's
attention at some other time. The resolution

conduct of the government at great political
crisis, and in that light overwhelmingly de

erals do not believe the general condition O.

liberals, and Herr Joery, for the Ultramantanes
