The European Situation.

LONDON, April lS.-Prospects of peace
may be delusive. Many experienced
diplomats entertain o fair conviction that
an apparent truce is taken by England
merely to get proper breath for effective
action. The frmness with which Glad.
stone makes his public statements, and
the cold, calculating exactness with which
he phrases his utterances, all tend to
convince those who know the premier
we'll that he has determined upon q
policy which, no matter how surprising
it may be when announced, will by no
meaus be one of retrogression.
Gladstone has made some retreats du-
ring his ministry, but he has always, on
these occasions, betrayed himself by
indecisiOn and uneyenness in his pariia.
mentary statements. To all interroga-
tories in the house of commons during
the past week he has presented the very
perfection of frmness in his replies.
Where a questioner desired to know
something which the government were
not ready to confide to the public, Glad.
stone has s.raightforwardly refused to
give information, and has plainly based
his refusal on public policy.
In nearly every other case the liberal
leader has been frank to his constituents,
fair TO his opponents and unimpassioned
and truthful toward the Russians. 1t is
admitted even by the premier's enemies
that his conduct has been like that of
man strong in fore knowledge about
results, like that OF Il man managing we'll
case with many ugly features. Glad
stone appears to have his entire case in
hand, seems to be unembarrassed by
prospects and undoubtedly has tue full
sympathy and cooperation of his entire
cabinet. AS sporting man states it,
"Gladotone is playing q waiting game
and knows all the cards? 2" 1t would ap.
pear from all this that tho premier has
another coup de theatre prepared for the
next weeks vote Of credit day. Hence
although all surface indications warrant
the statement that the prospect is one of
peace, the only description Of the actual
situation which can be given as literally
accurate is contained in the statement,
"the situation is practically unchanged"
OF course such q statement is rather
oracular, bat 30 is the situation, for no
one outside of the cabinet seems to know
just what it is. 1t may be set down as
absolutely true that the rise and fall Of
war talk during the ten days past has
been largely due to speculative money
interested in making sales or purchases.
