lNACTi0N IN TURKEY,
Htcks-Beach Says It's Dangerous to
the Peace of Europe.

London, Oct. 15.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the excehquer,
speaking at Darlington last night, de-
clared that the actual position of the
powers with regard to the eastern ques-
tion was that Russia, Austria and Ger
many were determined, with a view to
preserve European peace, to maintain
the status quo in Turkey. That had
been England's traditional policy, he
said, and any departure from it would
result in active resistance by the pow
ers. At the same time absolute mac
ton would be more dangerous to the
peace of Europe than would be united
interference by the powers to compel
Turkish reform. England's present
policy, the chancellor Of the exchequer
affirmed, was to secure a concert of
the powers to insist upon reforms.
