Continuing, Lord Salisbury declared that
the concert of Europe seemed to be in a
more favorable condition to extirpate the
terrible disease in the east than ever be-
fore. He eulogzes the speech made on
Tuesday last by M Hanotaux the French
foreign minister, in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. He did not, he said, expect that
France would try to battle the action Of
the European concert, while, he added,
the triple alliance had always been in
sympathy with the British doctrines re-
garding the eastern question.
Lord Salisbury repudiated the idea that
there was necessarily permanent antago-
nism between Great Britain and Russia
(Cheers) Such an idea was superstition
OF antique diplomacy. He had. however,
good ground for believing that Russia had
the same views. He did not desire to i'm
ply that there was any power with which
Great Britain would specially act. He only
protested against the idea that any power
was specially Great Brltains opponent.
He would not say there would be diff
Guilty in concurring in any scheme to ex-
ercise force If the other powers agreed,
but he did not know whether the use of
force was meditated against Turkey, He
referred to the latest promises of reform

future alone could determine how far even
such humble promises as these would be
realized. He hoped the powers would be
able to convince Turkey that she was

surrender OF essential principles. The So

claim a victory. Lord Salisbury can just

rights of the British settlers, and Mr..
Olney can claim, with literal truth. that
he succeeded in bringing Great Britain to
consent to arbitration.
The Post will say that the settlement of
the Venezuelan dispute is wholly satis-
factory to Great Britain and the United
States.
The Daily Graphic holds that the solu-
tion Of the vexatous question reflects the
highest credit upon all concerned. 1t fully
justihes the Intervention Of the United
States.
The Standard will briefly welcome ''thc
auspiclous announcement"
The Chronicle will say that IL finds Lord
Salisburys statement rather puzzhng IL
doubts whether settled colonists exist in
any great numbers, but suppose 1t is all
right.
The Daily Telegraph says the terms OF
the settlement leave the dignity and in.
terests Of Great Britain and the United
States unimpaired
The Times will say 1t believes where
British occupancy of settled districts ex-
tending back fifty years, can be proved
arbitration will be barred, and that all
remaining claims will be submitted tc
an Anglo-American tribunal.
The Daily News is of the opinion thai
thirty years will be recognized as giving
title, and the Graphic thinks that twelve
years will be sufficient to establish Brit
ish ownership.
