LONDON, Oct. 24.-[Special London
Letter. 1.-The discussion which is in
progress among the powers in regard
TO Turkey still hinges upon the pro-
posals made by Lord Salisbury that
the clauses of the treaty of Paris, Civ
ing to the porte the power to refuse to
permit the passage of warships through
the Dardanelles, be rescinded; that the
administration of the affairs of the
Turkish provinces be placed under the
supervision of the powers, and that
the conference of the European pow
ers shall I include Egypt in the mat
ters which it may take under con-
sideration. The British foreign office
officials are in expectation that Lord
Salisbury will be successful in gain
ing the points embodied in his de-
mands, through the assistance and sup
port of Russia, which power has OBJ
tanned the reluctant consent of France
to these proposals. A conference will
he summoned by Russia to meet at st.
Petersburg.
SIXTY YEARS A QUEEN.
Queen Victoria is now busily en-
gagged in drawing up the programme
for the fetes attendant upon the cele-
bration next June of the Goth ami
versary of her accession to the throne.
The celebration will be conducted on
grander scale even than was the
queens jubilee in 1887. Besides the
presence of the reigning sovereigns
in any way related to the queen, her
majesty desires that representatives
shall attend from all of the various
colonies of the British empire The
state pageants will last month.
A person prominent in political cir
cles, who recently sold his London
house with the intention of taking
larger one for the seasons functions,
stated to a representative of the Uni
ted Associated Presses. in the course
of recent conversation, that he very
much regretted having disposed of his
house, as the rental of the house he
had rented had risen rs per cent on
account of the rush of the society
class to secure favorable locations be-
fore the season opens.
1t is expected in well-informed cir
Giles that the Ri. Rev. Randol Creigh-
ton, bishop of Peterboro, will be
chosen as the successor of the late
Most Rev. Edward White Benson, D.
D.. archbishop of Canterbury and pri-
mate of all England.
SPAIN BORROWS SILVER.
The Spanish government, through its
minister of finance Senior ]. Navarro
Reveter, recently invited tenders from
London silver brokers for $1,000
worth of bar silver. The brokers ap-
piled TO refused to furnish the silver
on credit, or even to make a tender
of the bullion on a credit basis, but
the metal was undoubtedly sent to
Spain from London at the prevailing
silver market rates.
Senior Canovas Del Castillo, prime
minister of Spain. sent a communion
ton to the Madrid impartial, the gov
eminent organ. yesterday, stating that
the government had not abandoned its
negotiations for the floating of loan.
Premier Canovas adds that the gov
eminent still hopes that the railway
companies viii assist the government
with a loan of a milliard of pesetas
eff we should vainly exhaust these
and foreign resources I rely upon the
patriotism of the country to provide
finally the means to crush the rebellion
POPE LEO'S BULL.
The analysis of the bull of Pope Leo
XIII on the question of the validity of
the Anglican orders, which the late
Archbishop of Canterbury was en-
gagged upon at the time of his death,
follows the text of the bull, step by
step, and shows that, according to the
opinion of English churchmen, the OBJ
irnff ions f,1-xr rx-l 41,e
historically worthless.
COMING ELECTION.
The leading weekly papers of London
are devoting column after column of
space to articles specializing on the re-
suit of the coming presidential cleo
ton in the United States. The Specta-
tor, in q leading article under the cap
ton IF Bryan is Elected refuses TO
admit that the victory of Mckinley is
a foregoDe conclusion. The vehemence
of the Republican managers in affirm
ing that McKinley's triumph is as
sured, the Spectator says, rather sug-
gests a res dubie est.
The rise in wheat in America will do
no harm to Bryan's chances if the peo-
pie are convinced that it was brought
about by the machination of the Brit
ish and eastern goldbugs.
English investors in America ought
to prepare for the possible election of
Bryan. A financial cataclysm following
thereon, involving, as it would, over
81, $50, 100000 of British investments,
would shake the fabric of credit of the
world and if the London financial
situation should keep its head and wait
when the situation cleared as it ulti-
mately would, all would be we'll
MERELY A PUPPET.
The Speaker devotes long article
to comments upon the exposition of
the United States congress as a leading
question of moment. Mckinley is
certain to be elected" the Speaker
says, but he is more likely TO be a
figurehead or puppet than a really
active force" The Speaker quotes
freely from the United Associated
Presses cablegrams published daily in
London, provincial and continental
papers describing the situation, and
alludes to the correspondent sending
the dispatches as THE very able
representative of the Chronicle and
other English journals and adds,
even If the gold party are successful,
their majority will not be great We
have before us four years of agitation
and disquietude."
