London, Dec. 9—Tbe deadlock which bas been a reproach to modern civilization is broken at last, and in its place bas been created a new aud liviog potentiality, which, while it will not undertake to avenge the in | nocent blood already sbed, will} speedily strip the guilty of all furth | er power of outrage @ massacre | The Turk ia to be coerced The} Sultan is to be reduced in fact, if not actually in name, to vasenlage His fate will be made known to him; probably before the end of the pres ent week.

Such, in brief, is the infiuitely wel come news which wil] bring relief and # sense of restored self respect to the whole Christian world. It is not officially announced yet, but it can be reaffirmed, nevertheless, with- out reservation. AGREEMENT REACHED It was not until yesterday that the full consummation reached Ruasia, France and Great Britian arrived at a substantial aggreement on the plan of action last week There remained the necessity of getting the consent of the three powers which were signatories of the Berlin Convention.

The editorial which was forwarded from Washington by Peffer, saye: “Changing conditions bave mates rially modified the senator's opinions on the tariff question. He believes in good wages and fair profits on the products of labor; and until the effects of the gold standard policy began to show themesetves in falling prices, -increasing immigration and rapid development of agriculture in other lands, he had believed in the! Jackson theory of protection—the laying of revenue duties so adjusted as to encourage domestic industries and protect them as far as such rev- enue legislation could against foreign competition. But the sharp competition that our farmers have now to meet in yesterday's emergency Cabinet council in London that the Austrian Ambassador notified Lord Salisbury of the rather unwilling assent of his Government that the Russian, Freuch and British fleets shall force the Dardanelles, if necessay, in the exe cution of the new policy It is impossible, at this moment, to furnish the exact details of the solution of the Turkish problem which has been agreed upon. It may, however, be partially defined in a negative way. It provides noth- ing so radical as a division of the Turkish Empire. The integrity of Turkey will be substantially main tained.

Russia event ually yielded in principle, but the discussion of ways and means hes occupied nearly three months There are two or three versions in diplomatic circles of the policy at last decided upon. This is one: “That Russia shall occupy the northeastern corner formed by the Bosporus and the Black Sea and ex tending to a point half way down the Bosporus; that Constantinople and the Dardanelles shall be placed under European protection, but shall remain under the rule of the Sultan, the forts at the Dardanelles being dismantled and the passage becoming entirely free. No further change is suggested in regard to the integrity of the Turkish Empire.” This includes also European super vision of some of the Sultan's ap pointments. foreign markets, and the dead'y rivalry of foreign laborers in our own country, have put a new face ‘The Starliag with cast top and bottom.
