How the next act in the great East.
ern Comedy will begin can be Inferred
only from rumors, more or less credi
BILE, and the change in the person Of
Russian ambassador at Constantinople,
Jays the New York Sun. N. Nell
doff's mission at Constantinople was
to keep the peace and avoid all cause
of trouble between his govern mert
and that OF the Sultan. The Turk was
left to 60 quietly along the path TO
destruction which he has deliberately
chosen. If at any time he could be
hurried along it by a little encourage
ment from the Russian embassy, that
was not lacking. sThe Russian en-
bassy in Pera was Better informed on
the material of Turkey than.
the Sultan himself, and knew, how
steadily they were dwindling away,
beyond the power aver of the German
and English m%crcenaries in the army
and navy to do mora than galvanize
them into q show of vigor. N. Zinc
vieff, who replaces NJ. Nelidoff, goes
to Constantinople with full knowledge
of Turks affairs, having for q long
time previous to his appointment as
minister to Sweden at the head Of the
Asiatic section of the foreign Office at
st. Petersburg. If rough words have
to be spoken to the sultan after he
takes his post, they will come with
more yigor from his lips than they
would have from the mouth of NJ.
Neliioff, who, by long habit, had come
to deliver the most unpleasant message
in'tones of the most suave politeness.
AT Rome M. Nelidoff will have an
important duty to perform. Italy has
to be drawn back entirely into the con-
tinental system from which she tempo
rarily strayed when the cratic and
ambitious diplomacy of M. Crispi in
volved h~er-inthe unfortunate Abyssin-
ian venture at the instigation Of the
late Loru Granvrie, when foreign sec.
Rotary in England, and subsequently, II
the naval convention with England
against France. The marriage of the
crown prince of Italy with the daughter
of Prince Nicholas of M0ntenegro-was
an important step in this new intimacy
between the Latin and the Slav, and
M. Nelidoff, in going to Rome, will be
charged to bring about a closer and
more practical political alliance. Such
an alliance will display its influence in
the arrangements between Abyssinial
and the various countries seeking an
entry into the markets of that country;
and the intimation by King Menelek to
Mr.. Rodd, the English special envoy,
that his relations with Russia required
that he should submit all treaties for
the approval of the Russian govern
ment, and his appointment Of the Rus.
sian colonel. Heontieff, to the govern
orship Of the Nile provinces Of Abys-
SIMS, shows how far that influence has
gone already.

OF the continentatpowers of Europe is
about to assert itself as the guardian Of
European interests against the monop-

ability is that the occasion will be
