Stage Gossip
London, November 9-The diplomats
of Europe are still tossing upon the sea
Of uncertainty. Throughout the week
the political outlook has Been murky
and threatening to a degree not ex-
perienced for such a length Of time in
years past. Then, again, the atmos-
pheric conditions which have prevailed
here, continuous fog and rains, have
added to the feeling Of depression, Civ
ing London the gloOmiest week record
ed for a long tine And, rs if this was
not enough 10 give anybody the blues,
tho speeches which several Of The cQbl-
net ministers have made during The
week in various parts Of the country
have not been calculated to cllivel Tho
dl coping spi rs of the average Brit
iSher. The ministrail utterances have
been pessimistic in the extreme, no
CLINT of sunlight having streakeC
through the clouds.

of Salisbury is TO deliver NJ the Lord
Mayors banquet, at the Mansion House,

speech which the Hon. George n. Cur
zon. under secretary Of the foreign Of
fee, delivered at Derby. in which he
alluded to the evident breakup in Tur-
key, has created much of q sensation
abroad, especially in Berlin, where as
much significance has been attached to
1t as If it had been delivered by the
Marquis of Salisbury himself. That
same thing will soon have TO be done by
Turkey, or for Turkey, in order 10 re,

prevails. nobody for a moment doubts.
Between this and the pertitiOning Of the
Turkish empire among the Powers
there is a wide gap. The Turk IS indo-
lent and cruel, poor and fond of pitting
one power against another while carry
ing on its alleged policy; but the Turk
is capable of doing some hard fighting
against the best troops of Europe if the
