THE SLAVIC FEDERATION IN TURKEY
The London Spectator, leading organ q
the English Liberals, fas semi-authorits
| tive article upon the Liberal policy in tn
! East, which foreshadows some importan
changes in the political condition Of tn
Balkan Peninsula, or at least intimates tha
the sympathy of the Gladstone Goyernmen
| will lie in the direction of those changes
which Of itself will be most momentou
| gain in the estimation Of the Slavic victim
| Of Turkish misrule. The Spectator init
| mates that, unless the Beaconstield Govern
ment has made secret agreements of whicl
| the country is not aware, and which canno
be disregarded, the policy OF the new Gov
ernment will be to convert the Balkan prov
tnces into Federation which will be tht
legitimate heir Of Turkey, or rather its sue
cessor, as Turkey can leave nothing which
any people would be willing to accept as a
legacy, SO that the Federation will appear il
the place III Europe which Turkey now oc
cupies,-a consummation deyoutly to be
wished
a most important auxiliary in this change
will be the Treaty Of Berlin, which has
never yet been carried out in any of the de-
mands which it makes upon Turkey. The
Spectator points out how the Federation
may be accomplished, and in its plan sub
stantial1y indicates what Mr.. Gladstone has
more than once urged in his speeches and
writings, and what Lord Harrington and
Lord Granville have also Indirectly sug-
gested. Bosnia and Herzegovina are not
annexed to Austria by the treaty, but are
only placed in her custody, as sort of re-
ceiyer, and can be erected into principality
under an Austrian Archduke. Servia is in
dependent. Montenegro is independent and
has obtained the addition to her territory
which she has always wanted Roumania
is entirely independent, and Bulgaria
substantially so. Eastern Roumelia is
freed from Turkish otlceholders, and can
easily be made into principality. Mace
donia is guaranteed q Constitution by the
treaty like Crete, and Greece will shortly be
erected into a powerful kingdom with the
addition OF Epirus and Thessaly, hitherto
kept from her by the bad faith Of the Tory
Government and the obstinate procr4stina-
tion OF the Turks. II, therefore, the treaty
were carried out according to its spirit and

environs would be all that is, left in the
Balkan Peninsula of Turkish insolence,
perfdy, brutality, and misrule. a Fedora
ton like this, allied for offensive and defen-
sive purposes, adopting common military
and backed by the sympathy
Of England, would be a formidable Power
against any nation that should attempt to
invade it. It is estimated that in less than
i've years from the organization of such a
Federation it could put and keep in the field

engaged In the saloon business in this city At
meeting Of the brewers of this city and Mil

was stated that barrel of beer which is sold at

the saloonkeepers sell at least one barrel per
day. The saloonkeepers in turn assert that the
entire cost of manufacturing barrel Of beer is
only 81. and that the proposed increase in the
wholesale price to $9 is iniquitous, unjust, and
understandable, Now it is time for the beer
drinkers to protest against paying five cents a

Mr.. Beale, an Englishman, who had
gone ashore on one of the BONN Islands
to look for shells, noticed suddenly at
his feet an extraordinary looking ami
NAL crawling toward the surf, which it
had evidently only just left. 1t was
creeping on its eight legs, which, from
their soft and infexible nature, bent
considerably under the weight Of it's
body, 80 that it was lifted by its efforts
but little above the rocks. 1t appeared
much alarmed at seeing him and made
every effort to escape. Mr.. Beale en-
deavored to stop it by pressing on one
of its legs with his foot; but although
he used considerable force for that pur-
pose, its strength was so great that it
several times liberated its limb in spite
of all the efforts he could employ on
the wet and slippery rocks. He then
laid hold with his hand of one of the
tentacles in which its limbs terminated,
and held it firmly, SO that it appeared
as if the limb would be torn asunder by
the united efforts of himself and the
creature.
He then gave it IA powerful jerk, wish
ing to disengage it from the rocks to
which it clung so forcibly with its suck
ers. This effort it efectually resisted;
but the moment after the apparently
enraged animal lifted it's head, with its
large projecting eyes, and suddenly
sprang upon Mr.. Beale's arm and
4loosing his hold Of the rocks, clung to
it by means of its suckers with great
nnwer f.ndnavnrinu tfl oct ,ita beak.

The theater-going public will regret
to hear of the death of Lillian Adelaide
Nelson, the famous trugedienne, which
took place very suddenly at
the Continental Hotel, in Paris Miss
Nelson was 80 years of age, and was
born in London. She made her debut
at the Royal Theatre in 1865. The
brief cablegram announcing the death
OF the distinguished actress makes no
mention of the disease whose fatal
tonch deprived the profession of one
OF Its brightest ornaments. Miss Neil
sons father was q Spanish nobleman
and her mother the daughter of an En-
glish clergyman. She came to this
country about ten years ago, and at
enee won popular favor. Although she
mad played shakspearean parts in En-
iand prior to her American tour, it
was not until after her return that she
vas recognized as the greatest expo
nent of the lighter roles. During the
past ten years she has held the distinc-
ton of being the best Juliet ON the
stage. She married Mr.. r. P. Lee
pr'or to her appearance in this coun-
Try, and lived very unhappily with him
A few years agoshe obtained divorce
and since then had accumulated s
large fortune. Her death was wholly
unexpected.
