The European situation brstes with difficulties
that Lord Salisbury does not care to tackle any
more than Gladstone does!' But Ilearn later that
all understanding has been arrived at between the
two chiefs sufficiently comprehensive to enable
LORD Salisbury to from government The lib
erals undertake to offer no factious opposition to
the Conservative Ministry, and the latter will
introduce no party measure. They will simply
conduct the government of the country until the
decks can be fairly cleared for the general cleo
ton. AT the same time they may be expected
to exercise an important influence in the Euro
pean situation and the Radicals prefer to believe
that the effect of Lord Salisburys acceptance of
office will stimulate the Russian desire for war.
But does Russia wish for war? No travelled or
sensible man thinks so for moment Her gen

chiefs IN central Asia would welcome an order

Lord Randolph Churchill is a power i'll the

Many prominent people have mentioned to me
the compliments which Mr. Lowell has paid to
this country in an Interview which the Daily
News has cabled from Boston. But said one
of them "a diplomatic, not unknown at Washing

so highly Of us-talking of his English blood and
regrettlng he cannot make his home
here. They are patriotic people, and
are a little jealous of us" | suggested

opinion and that she will be none the less
proud of Lowell because he is proud of his En-
