LONDON, March 20.-Some recent
events in Turkey seem to confirm the
Paris dispatch reporting the Anglo
Russian understanding. Schmidt, the
financial director of East ROumelia, last
week, while ON tour of inspection, was
ln6bbed at Haskio, and troops had to be
called out to protect him. On his ar
rival at the confines of Slivno he was
met by several thousand people, who
threatened his life and forced him to re-
turn to Jambali. The Russian com
mander there said he would not guar
antee his safety, because the troops
We're not authorized 10 use their
arms against the people. Schmidt
returned to PhilOpapatis, whcreupon
General Stolypine, Governor OF Roume-
liza, with Schmidt and the French MEM
bers OF the Commission, went TO SlivnO
last Sunday, and on hostile demonstra-
tions against Schmidt being renewed,
the troops were summoned. General
Stolypine and his staff led them and
dispersed the crowd, arresting the lead
ers with their own hands. The Cos
sacks piled their whips vigorously
among the rioters, and even the Bul-
garian militia are said to have behaved
irreproachably, beating back the crowd
with the butts OF their muskets.

become the negation of liberty and the
enemy oi the dearest feelings of the
great majority OF Frenchmen. 1t has,

isting.
