SQUADRON,


Squadron.
LONDON, Nov. IA despatch from Con-
stantinople states that the British channel
squadron under Admiral Hornby is moving
towards that port, and may be expected in

any of the demands she has made through the
Turkish ambassador, Murras Pasha, and
through Minister Layard, upon Turkey in ref
erence to the immediate carrying out OF re-
forms promised in connection with the treaty
Berlin. Lord Salisbury has stated that these
demands were in perfect accordance with the
necessities of the situation in Europe, and
would not be revoked as the result of any dip
lomatic stately which could be brought to
bear. In response to the attitude of the British
ministry, the Sultan has informed Minister
Layard that the porte will concede the intro
duction of large infusion of the British and
European elements generally into the admin
istration of civil and military affairs of Turkey.
Both 6 ermany and Austria acquiesce in the

Meeting of the Cabinet.
The Cabinet meeting this afternoon, with
the exception of ordinary routine business,
was devoted to the interchange OF views as to
the character of recommendations to be made
to Congress in the Presidents annual message
and by the heads of the departments in their
annual reports. 1t was concluded that recon-
mendations should be confined to suggestions
for improvements in the present methods
rather than extended to requests for radical
changes in existing laws. it being considered
especially desirable to provoke as little con-
flict in Congress and as little disturbance OF
business interests as possible. The Presidents
message is now in preparation. 1t Will be
shorter than usual and contain very few re-
Communications other than those comprised in
the reports of his cabinet officers. It is be-
lieved the only important topic in foreign
affairs will be the re-opening of the fishery
question with Great Britain, and it is under
stood especial attention will be directed to the
adyisability of legislation to authorize the re-
sumption of the funding operations.
