Trouble Brewing in the East.
TURKEY INCITING THE ALBANIANS
TO RESIST THE BERLIN DECREE.

LONDON, July o.-Ine STANDARDS despatch
from Scutari says 5000 Albanians have been
posted at the most suitable spots to prevent the
cession of Duicigno. Every position of advant-
age forming continuous line from the Adri-
attic coast to the shores of the lake is now oc-
cupied by Albanians.
The Times Constantinople despatch says the
news which has reached the government con-
corning the Berlin Conference produced great
aStonishment and Indignation in official circles
and among the upper ranks of Mussulmans
The semi-otficial Vakyt says the Conference
fiagrantly violated the spirit of the Berlin
treaty. The correspondent confirms the re-
port that the Porte is secretly melting the AL
banians to resist the Greeks and that consider
able military preparations are being made.
Troops are being moved in the direction of
the Greek frontier, and artillery and ammu-
milton sent to Salonica.
A despatch from Constantinople says: The
excitement among Mussulmans is producing
anxiety and apprehension in European quar-
ters of the city, but it may be confidently
predicted they will not move unless instigated
by the authorities. AS the authorities well
know that any serious disturbances in the cap
ital would Immediately provoke active Euro
pean intervontiOn,i it is hardly conceivable that
they would voluntarily enter upon such line
OF action, still there is certain amount Of
danger. The government evidently wishes to
brighten Europe, and it may by using means
for this purpose bring about inadvertently
some unforeseen catastrophe.

ment.

of Commons on Mr.. Gladstone's resolution per-
hitting Bradlaugh to affirm has given great
satisfaction to the supporters of the govern
ment. The next critical division will be on

The Irish Relief Bill.
LONDON, July 3.-The House of Commons
went into committee of the whole this evening
on the Irish relief bill. Mr.. Parnell moved to
authorize the commissioners of public works to
advance money within their discretion to boards
of guardians in schedule districts for outdoor
relief, the whole amount advanced not to ex-
coed 100000.
Mr.. Foster, chief Secretary of Ireland, ac-
cepted the motion and the amendment was
agreed to.
Synam (LiberaD of Limerick county, moved
the rate of interest on such loans not exceed
one per cent.
Parnell supporting the motion exclaimed
against the shabby conduct of the government
which he said had not granted one penny from
the imperial exchequer for the relief of Irish
distress.
Bradlaugh made his maiden speech in sup
port of the motion and said this was either a
matter of pure business or generosity. 1t
would be unfortunate he said if the notion
got abroad that the government and people of
England and Scotland intended to be generous
only so far as it involved no cost to themselves.
On behalf of the many workingmen for whom
he was authorized to speak, he asked that
some loss might fall upon them rather than
that this measure of generosity should be mis-
understood. He asked the House not to be
generous with half a hand.
