Liverpool Autumn cup, lun at Liverpool,
resulted as follows: Lorenzo first, Aprile
second, Wolfe Land third.
The Bulgurinus have stormed the two
principal positions of AdlianopIe ard are
bnttern2 at the outworks of Constanlinople,
aud both should soon surrender. Sulouicl
has cnpltulated, the Greeks taking %, 600
Turks prisoners, while the Montenegrius are
almost ready to storm Scularl. There are
awful stories Of disease, massacre and out
rag :, and the Sheikal Islam has proclaimed
a ROY war.
The foregoing, while considered impor-
fuut, is ovrrshadoWed by the diplomatic
situation involving all Europe, and which
has been most aulh0ritatiyely outlined in
50 echcs by MIR. A~qurth and Mr.. Churchill
on Saturday at the Lord Mayors inaugural
banquet at the Guildhall. Mr.. Asquith said
European opinion IS unanimous TINT the
vie, ors should not be robbed OF the fruits OF
victory, which are costing them 50 dearly,
and which viii Involve the REQUESTING OF the
map Of Eastern Europe. During hostIities
Hi. Maiesty's Government deplecntes the
raising OF isolated questions, which, if treat
ed separately, would ca lse irrccouciIable
divergence but would yield to treatment as
part Of the general settlement. In these
anxious times it was satisfactory to an
nounce that England's relations We're cor
dial with all the Powers, and that all were
working together with Il flaikucss and TN
nnimity almost uniuteIligible to those think
ING that the Powers diverse interests must
array them IN opposing camps. MIR. As
quith did not explain further, but doubtless
he referred to AustrIHs official declaration
that Seryia would not be allowed to annex
any Adriatic ports, toward which, neverth
les. the Selyians are advancing without
interruptions, and that Albania should be
autonomous. The Quadrup'ice are unanl-
nous in declaring as unacceptable the Aus
tro.ItaIian suggestion that SerNla should
take IL port on the Aegean instead OF on the
Adriatic.
Ar. Churchill said that Angjo-German
relations were steadily improving rs a result
OF England'5 determination to be frank III
her dealings and not to be outstripped III
ornaments. British recruiting for the navy
Il d tripled during the past year, and the
sixth battle squadron Will be commissioned
in 1913 instead OF 1915. There were now
twenty battIeships and cruisers IN the
Mediterranean, and the precautions ne
&c 3sijated by their absence lad been
taken. The year would be memorable
for the spontaneous ard Simultaneous
contributions by the Dominlons toward
Impe. ial Defence, and he stated that CauNdl,
Initiating the example of New Zealand and
Australia, woHld in II few days make an an-
nouncement worthy OF her power aud loyalty.
In the brletest outline his speech would midi
cate that the Triplice are alrayed against the
Dreibund and that their armies and nayleS
are mcviI g towards an issue which is up to
now hidden.
In the House of Comons, Mr.. F. CaSsel,
NJ. z. for s.. Pancras, moved that Ireland
should not receive representation until she
contributed to the Imperial Exchequer or
until representation had been granted all
round, but Oh being put to the vote the mo-
ton was lost 10y 2l3 against 3l5. Clause
thirteen providing fer forty-two lrlsh repre-
sentatives was guiIlotined amid uproaI, thir-
~ FIVE amendments not being considered.
One week was allotted for Mr. Sanuels ella
