1t Would Mean War.

London, Sept. 2O.-With reference to
the public agitation for intervention in
Turkey by Great Britain Lord Rose
berry, the liberal ex-premier. writes as
follows: For England to interfere in
Turkey without the consent of the
powers would involve a European
war" Lord Rcseberry continues that
he holds this opinion because he does
not suppose that Russia has modilied
the attitude which she declared in
1895 Of opposing separate action in
Turkey by any power. A Vienna dis
patch to the Daily Mail says: Within
a few days seven persons have per-
ished in the attempt to reach the sui
tan's private apartment in the Yieldiz
palace. 1t is known that five of those
intended to murder the sultan.
