MUTTERINGS IN EUROPE.
Petty Disturbances That Cause Annoy.
ance in Different Countries.

LONDON, May 23.-Whether the petty dis
turbances in widely-separated portions of Eu-
rope are the first faint mutterings that portend
q storm, or the safety-valves that receive the
oyerstrained situation time only can tell. II is
certain that the optImists loudly proclaim that
the men of affairs of all nations desire peace.
and that nothing has happened to justify any
continued anxiety.
The committee appointed at Berlin however.
to report upon the alleged persecution of Ger
man merchants at the Baltic ports of Russia
state that the facts fully justify all the COM
plants Of ill-treatment made
At Riga Reyel, and Aronsburg. where the
bulk of the trade was in German hands, they
have been compelled in some instances
TO CLOSE THEIR EsTABLIsHMENTs
or conduct them through Russian managers
To the representation from Berlin the Russian
authorities, so far from promising to ameliorate
the present state of affairs and giving assur-
ance OF the future immunity of German traders
from Russian aggression. limited that the migra-
ton OF the aforesaid merchants would not be
dlspleasing to the czar's government and peo-
pie, and treated the question as one to be set
tied fully by the payment of damages to par
ties proved to have been wronged. This is
small consolation to those Germans who by
shrewdness and industry had nearly the mono
poly OF the Baltic trade, and now see it
wrested from them; but it is not a cause for
war, and the court of Berlin is not likely to
take an extreme view of the matter.
1t Is probably with desire to draw attention
from other affairs that unusual prominence has
lately been given to the petty sqUabbles con-
tinua1y going on between the Turks and their
neighbOrs. Robbery and incidental homicide
from the normal occupation of the borders
there. and there is not much to choose be-
tween MOhammaden and Christian.
SOME OF THE EEPUTED OUTRAGEs

party and boiling the bride alive have been re-
futed, and it is tolerably certain that the
Montenegrins, said to have been mastered
on the frontier. were no tame victims to their
Ottoman neighbOrs. 1t will probably be found
that they were on the Turkish side of the
frontier IN quest of plumber. A harder set of
robbers never existed, and it is the regret of
proselytising Christians that they are not more
numerous. If they could muster half as many
fighting men as the Turks the stay of the latter
in Europe would be short. These ominous re-
ports mean something new in the way of wor-
rylng the sultan, and are a substantial en-
eouragement TO the petty states strung along
his ragged and ill-detined northern boundary
