At the opening of Parliament the Queen,
in her speech, reverting to national affairs,
said {" I have seen with deep sorrow,

All parties in Greece are now unanimous.
and nothing but the most vigorous meas
ur,s by England, for instance the imms
diate blockade of Pireus. will stop the
coming war. Greece would begin by seiz-
ing all the islands IN the gulf OF Smyrna

Turish force.

they viii allow Bulgaria to absorb 10 900
people belong to the Greek race, which she
will certainly do if the union of Bulgaria
and Eastern Romelia is recognized.
The Greek Government, in reply to the
note of the Marquis of Salisbury, says that
the representatives of England infringe on
international and diplomatic observances,
and declares that Greece reserves perfect
freedom of action. The answer further
says that Greece has not declared war, nor
has she given cause for England to interfere
regarding her attitude. Bulgaria having
violated the treaty of Berlin under the egis
of England, Greece is justified in using
every means in her power, and even to
resort to arms, if necessary. to obtain the
concessions the treaty of Berlin gave her.
Greece will maintain her claim to Thessaly
and Epirus, no matter what the cost may
be, and is prepared to take the held at tho
earliest moment and fight to the bitter end
In support of her rights. She is confident
of success. The first movement of Turkish
troops against Greece will be the signal for
a revolt in Albania and Macedonia, and
Europe will not look placidly on.
Admiral Lord John Hay, commanding
the Mediterranean squadron, consisting OF

Dreadnaught, Iris and Helicon, has re-
ceived instructions as to the course he shall
pursue in the event of it becoming neces-
sary for him to take action on England's
demand of Greece to disarm.
Dispatches are frequent between London
and Athens, but so far with no result.
Greece has completed her preparations for
war, and is now seeking a plausible pretext
for conflict.
Great activity exists in Turkish military
and naval circles. Troops and horses are
being dispatched to Salonica. The trans
portation department is using extraordinary
efforts to accelerate the movements of troops
and munitions to the Greek frontier.

Kinsatsu or paper rates were at q pre-
MUM on December 30th. Some fourteen
years have elapsed since this phenomenon
was last witnessed, and it was then re-
garded as n curious example of the Japa-
nese peoples confidence in their official
financiers. Now, within three days of the
time when the convertibility of the fat
notes is to become an accomplished fact,
the nation has declared its preference for
them over silver, and the Treasury receives
the pleasant assurance that there will be
no call upon the millions of specie stored
in its vaults for purposes of resumption.
Instead of being required to redeem its
paper, the Government might issue more at
q premium.
All the civil officials attached to the Navy
Department are to be dismissed, and the

BRITISH POLITICS.
The Salisbury Ministry Preparing to
Resign.

Salisbury and Gladstone are exchanging
letters on the political situation and with
reference to Parliamentary procedure in
the event of the Ministry deciding to place
their resignation in the hands of the Queen.
1t Is understood that a decision to resign
has already been arrived at, and that on or
about February 8th, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, III the Commons, and Lord Sails
bury, in the Lords, will formally announce
that fact. That resignation must infallibly
hasten the Wing secession, the breaking up
OF the Liberal party into fragments, and
leaving Gladstone at the head of his Ma
tionalist allies and immediate followers-a
defeated Minister leading discredited
minority.
In the House of Lords Lord Salisbury
said that he hoped that within two days
the Government would be able to explain
the steps which it is considered necessary
to take in ireland. Lord Kilomorey with.
drew his motion to abolish the Lord-Lieu.

increasing in strength. Their troops no
longer plumber villages, this fact showing
that the movement is developing from
brigsndage into an instruction. Prince
Hteitsin, son of the King, is at Tabain, to
the northeast of Mandalay. He has 10000
armed men. One body of his troops, under
his younger brother, is threatening Tsagain,
seven miles to the southeast of Mandalay.
Another body of his troops is expected to
cross the Irrawaddy, to the north of Man
'dalay, and to threaten the city from the
northwest.
Flying columns of British troops sent out
on accommodating expeditions have returned
to Mandalay. They lost several men killed
and wounded in a skirmish with the Da-
colts. The loss of the latter is unknown.
Re-inforcements are needed.

The Little Country Ready TO Fight
England aRd Turkey.

War between Greece and Turkey is nearly
certain The only chance for the main
tenance of peace would be the cesslon OF
Janina by Turkey or the occupation Of
Pireus by the Powers, as it was during the
Crimean war. The Greek Government has
had to choose between striking blow for
establishing Hellenic supremacy IN Mace
donna, or facing dynastie troubles at home.
The Turkish Government fully expects
hostile demonstration on the part of Greece
to commence within the next three weeks.

that England was prepared to send q feet
to prevent Greece from attacking Turkey
by sea. Premier Delyannis replied that
Greece would not disarm. The Greek feet

asserted that this activity on the part of
the police is occasioned by the fact that the
authorities have become cognizant of
threats of violence uttered in consequence
of the unsatisfactory character of the por-
ton of the Queens speech referring to the
Irish question. This is the anniversary of
