The Irish Question.
LONDON, july 19.-The Dublin correspondent
OF the Times says: The Flag OF Ireland news
paper condemns the compensation for disturb
alice bill entirely, and says: III is a trumpery
makeshift." The correspondent says: "The
scare OF famine fever in the west OF Ireland is
rapidly dying out, official Investigations having
proved that the first reports were exaggerated,
and that where fever existed it was not from
starvation, but ordinary typhus to which the
lad sanitary condition OF the dwellings con-
stantly predispose the people. From all parts
OF the country come the most cheering accounts
OF the condition OF the crops, which are only
dalkened by reports Of the appearance of pOta-
to blight in some districts in parts of counties
Dublin, Sligo, Cork and Mayo The blight, how
ever. Is confined to old potatoes. The cham
plonS' have escaped completely. Nothing can
be more luxuriant than the green crops

Abdurrahmen Khan Is expected there in a few

All ALA accounts completely agree that the mutt
been dispersed. The British have invited Moosa
Khan, The eX- Ameer'S son, to come TO Cabul in
the hope that his mother will take him with her
to India; but it is doubtful whether his guar
d1ans will allow him to come, as they may want
to keep him near GhuZnee TO form the nucleus
OF rising when the British Withdraw"
A Cabql dispatch to the Times says: "Abdur-
rahman Khan arrived Thursday at Tutan- Dara,
six miles from Charikar. He will advance on
Cbarikar as soon as possible, and after his
where near Cabul."
Turkeys Alternative.
LONDON. July 19.-The Berlin correspondent
ofthe Times says: 1t is generally believed here
that If the Porte resists the powers the resist
ance Will be chiefly the result of fear that con-
cession would encourage the PaE Slavist aSpira-
t10ns OF the BulgarianS, which menace the eX-
tstence OF the Turkish empire In Europe. The
proceedings in Bulgaria, where Russian in-
fiuence is becoming stronger. and where large
military Preparations are geing on, are regarded
with great mstrust. 1t is supposed that Rus
sia intends prOfiting by the present situation In
the peninsular to carry out the program of the
treaty OF San Stefano. 1t is interesting to know
in What light eastern affairs are viewed by pub
lie opinion in Russia, for thereby the real
aim OF Russian policy may be seen. The ST
Petersburg IiedO1nOsti declares that the aims OF
Russia are evident and certain and offensive to-
wards NOBODY, for they consist only in the con-
sutut1on of independent slav states on the Pc
ninsula and in opening the Dardanelles. No
power can nave more moderate wishes, but it is
necessary they should be realized, even at the
cost of great trouble for no other flag than the
Russian ought to be allowed to wave on the Boz
phorus. Should that not be possible, it would
be better not to make any change in the affairs
OF the peninsula for the present.
International Committee of Liuai-
daliOn.
ALEXANDRIA, July 19.-The Russian consul at
this port to-day gave notice OF the adhesion OF
Russia to the international committee OF liuui-
dation. The acceptance OF the committee by
the United StateS-the only government which
mas not given Its adhesion-is expected soon,
the Egyptian government having agreed to the
conaltlonS on which the United States made
their assent depend.
Collapse Of the Turkish Empire.
Tue seml-oficial Be,eg says no mtrigues or
secret consplracieS are necessary to accelerate
the collapse of the Turkish empire. The situ-
at1cn has now come to point where it is only
desirable to give free hand to the christians
IN the peninsula. A general inSurrection might
follow, and streams Of blood be Shed but the
struggle would certainly not last long in con-
sequence Of the political aEd moral decadence
OF the Porte. The Bereg would prefer pacific
solution, but at the same time 1t says the in
terests Of all the powers demand that their de-
signs should be achieved, and that an end
should be quickly made to the present insup-
portable situation.
The M0l00 says: 'We are convinced that all
powers except Austria and Germany agree I'm
the plan to lfqu1date the Turkish empire Aus
tIia would also not be diSinclined to share In
such liquidation If she were allowed to take a
part of the booty. For the moment Austria NAV
wish peace preserved in order to wait for a
more favorable time for reopentng of the East
ern question, but it must be regarded as a
piece of good luck for the different natfonali-
ties of the peninsula that Ausur1a is now much
occupied with home difficulties, and is there
fore not able to hinder the natural deyelon
mcnts or the affairs OF the East
