The Times special from COnstantinople

matte sources the action of Russia is due TO
the personal initiative of Gar Alexander,
who is dissatisfied with the independent at
titude of England, and with Gladstone's re-
peated declarations that England, under GER
tain circumstances, would undertake the
task of restoring order in Egypt.
The Times saws the time has gone by
when Turkey could be allowed to take the
whole matter into her own hands. If Tur-

ally, but as the subordinate of England

khedive fully approves of Turkish troops
