AFRAID OF THE CHINESE.
LONDON, July SIT is reported that at
one of the meetings of the Congress Count
Schouvalof brought up the question of the
employment of Indian troops in European
warfare and the selling of modern arms to
the Asiatic people, especially the Chinese.
HI wished, he said to invite the Congress
to look upon the subject without passion,
and to regard it as affecting the interests
and perhaps the very existence of European
civilization. He cited the opinion OF an
eminent savant who lately pointed oHt that
had the ancient Greeks possessed even
the rudest kind of our modern arms
they could have rolled back the
| barbarian hordes who swept them away,
but the experience of the late campaign
| had shown that war was no longer to be a
contest in which superior physical strength
and moral purpose would win a victory.
The Turks, armed with rifles made in the
| United States and entrenched in positions
chosen and fortified by military skill, had
| been able to hold at bay for weeks the
flower of the Russian army, the best,
bravest and most ardent of soldiers. If the
countless hordes of China and India are to
be permitted to arm themselves with mod
ern weapons and to acquire practical
knowledge of the art of modern warfare
there will be nothing to prevent them
from rolling forth into Europe and
crushing Christian civilization out of ex-
istence. Especially were the Mongolans
to be feared from this point of view, and he
invited the Congress to take the matter into
serious consideration and to deliberate
upon the practicability of league of Eu-
ropean Powers binding them to abstain
from employing Asiatic troops in Europe
and to prevent as far as possible the i'm
portation of arms of precision into Asia
Earl Beaconsfield is said to have made
rather light reply to this appeal, and to
have said that at all events the subject was
not at all germane to the object of the Con-
gress and should not now be discussed but
Count Schouvalotfs s remarks made a strange
impression on Prince Bismarck and M.
Waddington, and subsequently, in private
conversation, they suggested that the sub
ject was worthy of consideration by Con-
gress called expressly for that purpose.
CARVING THE CRESCENT.
LONDON, July 3-A dispatch from Berlin
says the partition of Turkey is fast being
accomplished. Austria is to have Bosnia
and Herzegovina, England is to take Cy-
prus as bonne bouche, Montenegro is to
be aggrandized by strip of Albania coming
down to the Adriaic Sea; Servia is to be an
independent principality, with an increase
of one hundred and ninety-two square miles
of territory and of one hundred and eighty
two thousand people; Greece is to be en-
dowed with either the fee simple or the re-
version of the Epirus and the Littorial of
the Egean Sea, and Russia, who has been
pretending 10 be very submissive is to be
rewarded for her complaisance by certain
concessions in the East not yet accurately
understood. This is summary of the sit
uation at this moment as stated by high
authority, and whose information should be
accurate.
