The Dead Statesman-COndolenc From Foreign Nations - The Conservatives Casting About for His Successor.
 LONDON, April 2O.-A dispatch was to-day received by the Queen from the Sultan of Turkey in which he tenders his sincere con- dolence for the loss Her Majesty and Great Britain have suffered in the death of Lord Beaconsfeld. In his dispatch the Sultan the deceased English statesman rendered Turkey and Berlin by so arranging the terms of the treaty as to preserve intact 8 larger portion of the Turkish territory from the de- mands of Greece than would otherwise have been the case. He also mentions the infiu- ence of his late lordship in preventing war between Greece and Turkey, when the for mer threatened to resort to arms to compel 8 liberal fulfllment of the Berlin treaty, by mo- key she must not expect any aid or sympathy from other European powers.
 The late Lord Beaconsfield is scarcely laid in his coffin before the political results of his death begin profoundly to agitate the coun- try, and especially the leaders of the party whose acknowledged head he was for many years. It is understood that the Conserva- tive leaders will almost immediately hold a meeting to consider his succession. A can- vass of the situation indicates that the choice of man to wield the sceptre of the deceased leader must almost necessarily be made from the following list The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Cranbrooke or Lord Cairns, the present Lord High Chancellor, with the probabilities in favor of the selection of the latter. Sir Stafford Northcote will no doubt continue to lead the opposition.
 Many interesting anecdotes about the late Lord Beaconsfield are published in this morn ing's papers, He occupied himself during part of his illness with correcting his last speech delivered in the House of Lords on Czars assassination. ''I will not go down to posterity," said he, talking bad grammar" The Tunes relates one or two other sayings of the distinguished Lord during his last ill- ness, one of which corrects popular misap- prehension. Lord Burlington asked him one day where he was born. 1T was born in the Adelphi,'' D he replied, land may say in li- brary. My father was not rich when he married. He took a suite of apartments in the Adelphi, and as he possessed large collection of books all the rooms were cov- cred with them, including that in which I was born" Another remark of his was the following characteristic one: q had rather live, but I am not afraid of death. I have suffered so much that were I a Nihilist I should confess everything" This was hu- morous allusion to the mistaken but preva- lent idea that the Nihilists were subjected to torture after their arrest Lord Rowton is left by Lord Beaconsfeld the sole trustee of all his private papers, with full power to do what he thinks right with them. Several int ha nf fia16 alluded to certain memoranda which he had, but these have not yet been found. He was anxious about the completion of his portrait by Millars. His great political op- ponents, Bright and Gladstone, had been painted by Millais, and he thought it no vanity that he too ought to go down to rosterity on the canvas of the great DOT trait painter of the day. By singular coin cidence Beaconsfield died on the anniversary of the day on which twelve months before he had left Windsor Castle after rendering Her Majesty his resignation as premier of Eng land.
 Gladstone has written to Lord Rowton saying that the death of Lord Beaconsfield must be regarded with mournful interest throughout the country and also beyond Great Britain. He offers to give directions for public funeral unless the friends and relatives are adverse to such. Lord Rowton and Sir N. Rothschild have replied that they feel precluded in accepting the offer in consequence of the terms of Lord Beaconsield's will made in 1878, which directs that he be buried in the same vault as his wife and also enjoining that his funeral be conducted with the utmost simplicity. Lord Rowton had an interview with the Queen to-day, but the result is not yet known It is supposed, however, that a ,long discussion was had as to whether the terms of Lord Beaconsfeld's will, so far as his burial is concerned, should be obeyed. A public funeral and the burial of his remains in Westminster Abbey are strongly urged de- spite the wishes of the deceased.
 In consequence of the death of Lord Bea
 consfeld all banquets and Tory gatherings have been suspended. Numerous telegrams condoling with the loss to the country have been received from leading men throughout the world, including all European sovereigns. Prince Bismarck says great loss has been sustained by both Europe and England.
