LONDON, November IA tone of
disappointment pervades the comments
in the morning journals on Lord Bea-
consfield's speech st the lord mayors
banquet last night. II was anticipated
that Beaconsfield would throw some
light on the relations with Turkey and,
further, with Afghanistsn, and on the
chances of dissolution of Parliament,
but the concluding sentence of his
speech is accepted In some quarters as
negativiug the idea OF dissolution.
The Times points out the absence of
any reference to the Eastern question
or to the Auglo-Turkish convention,
and says: g. But if the speech 10 not
exciting it is not disturbing, and the
explanations offered by Sir St,ford
Northcote, Chancellor of the Exche.
quer, respecting the finances, will COM
Dine with Beaconsfield's account of the
revival of trade to produce an reassur-
ing impression. The Daily Nesos warns
the Liberals not to take the indifferent
assurance too seriously, and says that
1t is capable of various interpretations,
and was probably intended to be go.
LONDON, November 11.-A Paris
dispatch says the settlement between
the Bauque Europene, which has now
accepted all of Philippians operation s,
and the outside brokers began yester-

formed among the outside brokers, and

LONDON, November IA dispatch
from s.. Petersburg to the Daily Neics
says all the Russian papers have arti-
cles upon the latest steps taken in Con-
stantinople by the British government.
In certain circles an uneasy feeling is
arising. The Gol0s says that in the
event of England's attempting to vio-
late Turkish Independence and at the
same time to infringe en- the vital in
terests of Russia, q collision between
the two powers would be more conven-
lent for the latter on the confines Of
Asia Minor than in the departments OF
Central Asia. The NoUoe VrenGya is OF
the opinion that the Powers are OPP
posed 10 the aggressive measures of
England, and that none Of them will
act as catspaw.
