Eject of Salisbury's Speech.
LONDON, November 1.-THE Marquis Of
Salisbury's speech of Saturday night at
the lord mayors banquet seems TO have
good effect here and elsewhere throughout
Europe.
The continental newspapers express va
rious opinions regarding the premier's
utterances; but his remarks are generally
regarded as reassurins and as just what
was wanted to calm public opinion. His
language attributing to the sultan the
whole responsibility for the condition of
affairs in Armenia is regarded in some
quarters as calculated to encourage the
Armenians to resist; but all interested
upon the absolute harmony of the great
powers and in regard to its continuance.
This Is looked upon as being the sole,
mode OF dealing with the sultan and Of
holding down the ambitions of the indi-
v1dual European states.
Still. however there Is visible between
the lines In the utteranceS of the premier
an undercurrent of feeling that war in the
east is more likely to be postponed than to
be averted. In any case, it Is understood
that there will be no change in the gov
ernmehts program looking to strengthen
ing the British fleet very materially in
order 10 be ready for any combinations or
eventualities which may be likely 10 oc-
cur.
The Times this morning, in an editorial
says: Marquis of Salis5urys reference to
Turkey in his address at the lord MAYORS
banquet saturday was worthy of the best
traditlonS OF British state5manShip, but
ne somewhat fails to appreciate the rapid
movement or affairs in the far east"

The English mission near Jerusalem has
been attacked by a riotous mob. The mis-
slonaries escaped, but some Of the servants
OF the mission We're killed.

Lord Salisbury's Remarks
Regarding the Armenian question. Lord
Salisbury asserted, Saturday evening that
the present government had added notbinp
TO the demands of the three powers made
in May. and which were accepted bv ,he
sultan. More than this, 1 cannot
say at present, but in case the sultan 1e-
fJSa
the powers fifty years ago determined as a
safeguard of the peace of Europe that the
integrity of the Ottoman empire should be
preserved and far as know the powers
are of this opinion STILL
All throughout these negotia tions I have
peen impressed with the profound desire of
the powers, and even of those generally re-
earded as among the most restless powers
10 act together with a common aim looking
toward the peace of the world and 7 am
hopeful that this unanimity of action NAV
IN time lessen the heavy burdens of an
armed peace, which now press upon our in
