CONTROL OF THE MEDITERRA-
 MEAN.

l
 The visit of the Italian squadron to
 Toulon the other day and the formal
 renewal of friendship between France
 and Italy expressed in the official greet ! ings exchanged by President Loubet
 and the Duke of Genoa, uncle of King
 Victor Emmanuel IT., after an estrange-
 ment of twenty years, almost to the month, was the closing of chapter in
 European diplomatic history running back to the Berlin congress of 1S7S On the day the congress closed its sittings,
 Lord Salisbury and M. Washington,
 French Plenipot entiary at the congress,
 walked out together arm in arm. As they parted to ge their different ways
 Lord Salisbury ejaculated. You can
 now go into Tunis whenever you like"
 It was then that the foundation was
 laid of the permanent arrangement of
 Italy from France, already pronounced enough owing to the alienation of Savoy and Nice after the war of 1s59 and Eng
 land was enabled thereby to retain for
 twenty three years longer the undispu- ted control of the Mediterranean. The time for the European powers to inter- fere with this state of affairs, however, was not yet ripe. The memory of 1870- Il kept France and Germany apart and the Dreei- -Kaiserbund that had just ar- ranged the mutilation of Turkey, Eng land taking Cyprus for her share, was not disposed to enter Into intimate as- sociation with a republic.
 What first gave cohesion to the oppo- sition and jealousy generally felt in Eu- rope to England's dominant position in the Mediterranean was the importation of Indian troops into Malta. From that time on the idea that the Mediterranean must be European and not British lake has steadily grown. It gained strength in 1881 when during the nego- tiations at Constantlnople that led to the cession of Thessaly and a part of Epirus to Greece,a proposal was made on behalf Of the British to the Greek government to place the armed force of England at the disposal orf the latter If it would insist on the cession of the ter ritory as defined by the Berlin confer ence of the year before. With the and decision that marked all his actions, Prince Bismarck under threat of opposing it with all the power of Germany, procured the rejection of the offer by the Greeks and its disavoW- al by the British government within twenty four hours of its being made. And so another step was taken toward the time when, as expressed by one in a position to know what was passing in certain minds, England would be invi- ted to take her fleet out of the Mediter- | ranean, her territorial interests there | being confined to Malta, her only pos
