| II Is understood that the Chinese gov

| cent upon the Chinese loan recently
raised in Paris and guaranteed by Russia
| Russia drove a sharp bargain by raising

making per cent on the total loan of

| tam an agreement on the part of China
/ not TO contract another loan for period

The summer itinerary of the Prince of
| Wales Officially announced shows that
it will be impossible for him to visit
the United States this year if he ever had,
as reported, any intention of doing so.
After the Goodwood races on June %, he
will be present at the fortnights yacht
ing at Cowes. From CoWes he will so to
Hamburg, thence to Baden Baden and Co
burg, returning to Balmoral in September.
The gravity of the position in the far
east is shown by the orders that have
been issued by the war office. A large
increase will be made in the stores of
war munitions at Malta, Alden and in
Egypt. The small garrison on the island
of Berlin, in the Red sea, will be vein
forced by detachments of artillery and
sappers. Quick firing guns will be placed
in the fortifcations and the fort works
will be enlarged The island will be made
an important naval base.
Communications proceed between Lon
don, St. Petersburg and Paris as to what
combined action shall be taken if the
porte maintains its refusal to cOncede the
demands made by Great Britain, Russia
and France relative to Armenia. If the
porte persists in its refusal to grant the
demands made by the three powers it has
been definitely arranged to present these
demands as an ultimatum and to set
fixed date for their acceptance or re-
ain proposed in the event of the rejection
of the demands that the combined fleets
of the three powers make a demonstra-
ton at Constantnople, but France and
Russia prefer as a first resort a confer
ence of the European powers.
The Speaker asserts tnat the harmony
between the three powers, as far as dip
lomatic pressure is concerned, is complete
Should France and Russia decline to go
further, the appearance of a British fleet
at Constantinople may become a necessi-
ty if only to ensure safety against a
rising of the Turks. The paper adds that
public opinion in Great Britain will compel
the government to go on alone. 1t would
be easy to occupy first Mytolene and
Samos, and to make them and Cyprus
base of operations, though the eventual
result might break up the Turkish en-
pire.
Prime Minister Rosebery's enforced alb
sence from headquarters and the leaving
of the Earl of Kimberly's weak hand
to guide affairs is excused by the liberals
on the ground that the cabinet has agreed
upon a definite policy to meet all con-
tingencies.
1t is known that the queen influences
the cabinet by explicit advice, amount
ing to instructions, concerning the atti-
tude of the porte. Her majesty's interest
in the question was such that she caused
the full text of the sultan's reply TO the
demands of the three powers to be tele-
graphed to her as soon as II was received
by Sir Philip Currie, the British ambas-
sador at ConstantinOple. 1t is believed
also that she, in several personal letters
to the cZar, communicated the necessity
of concerted action on the question. The
queen has become a fervent turkophobe.
She has been excited over the stories of
the Armenian atrocities, and has gone be-
ha
In the press discussion of possible devel-
opments of the Armenian question it is
generally recognized that however success
fully Great Britain may cope with Turkey,
the other powers will insist upon having
a full voice in the final settlement, includ-
ing the Egyptian question.
The first congress of the Irish trade un-
ionists held at Cork, has furnished an ad
mirable contrast, so far as dignity and
harmony is concerned to English trades
congresses Hitherto the Irish have sent
delegates to the English trades councils.
At Cork $50 delegates. solely Irish, dis
cussed trade and political questions. There
was hardly a trace of party or sectarian
bitterness. The socialists made the poorest
showing at the congress. A Londonderry
delegate proposed the usual resolution to
nationalize everything and his motion was
seconded by a Belfast man, but an amend
ment proposed by the president of the
Belfast trade unions, anu SeCOlAucu
by the president of the Dublin
trades unionists, was adopted declaring
that the ultimate solution of labor prob
lens would be more quickly obtained by
effecting pressing reforms, on which vast
majority of workingmen were agreed, than
on passing abstract resolutions. The
