TRYINO TO MEACH AN UNDERSTANDING, LoNpo, March 1, —The 2%fines snys: * To- dny will be memornble in tho history of the Eastern question. The Cabinet meets to con- siler the terms of the agreement among the Powers, It does not contaln any engagement to use coerclon in any form. The Powers will employ thelr diplomatie influence fn favor of the refoms the Conference declied necessary, but furthor than this they willnot go, No term {8 fixed withinwhich the Powers are to use thelr Influence or after which they are to con- efder thelr efforts huve falled, When the pro- posal which Lord Derby submits to his cols leaguca has been sveepted by the other Furo- pean Powers, It {8 expected that Russia will de- clare herself satistied wnd demobilization will follow {n due caurse. A protocol to bo signed by the Porta and vountersigned by the Powers Is the form of agreement which®us Yound most favor.” Thu article contines: * We believe If En. glaud sceepts this, ull the ather Powers will. It then depends upon the temper in which the Porte recelves the agreement, aud the oets with which it follows it, to show whether we arc on the path to fival pacification. . Hitherto the Sa1- tan'd Governmont has shuwn no desire to como toterms with Russla. We can only hope that the Porto will nat, by action or Inaction, by pur-* poscless or {ll-thned wbstinacy, frustrate the sincere attompts of other States o avert war, ‘There hus as yet been no begluning of a Letter rule, and the condition of the provinces which were tho oiginal scats of fusurrcction Is pitia- blo fu the extreme, The Powers will becoma once more surctfes for the Turkish Goverce ment, and, should thoy fail, the end must come at Jast.” CONBTANTINOPLE, LoxpoN, March 18,—A letter to tho Zimes from Pern, dated March 8, says many of the prisoners who were arrested for alleged com- plieity In the plot of Midhat Pasha have been lberated. Kemal Boy, Midhat's Sccrotary, is sthll Imprisoned and oxamined daily by wagis- trates. The suddon fit of terror which disorgan- fzed the whole Government, and placed the eoverolgn at the discretion of alittlo Palace «lique, Is hercby shown to continue. The Sul- tau's Council {s now more than ever haunted by fear of plots, The prevalling popular idea ls, that the party strongly attached to Murad Effends ore: busily spreading re- ports of hils complete recovery, and claln- fog his rigut to restoration, Murad'a adherents declare that both ; Turklsh sud fore ¢lgn ductors were unanimous that two or three wouth’ ropose would completely restors lis reason. Thelr prediction bus been fully real- fzed. Murnd is now far more fit for tho throne than his drunken, terror-haunted brothcr, sna it 1s thme they should chango pluces, IONATINFR'S MISSION, Pans, March 15.—Tha cditor of Ze Temps had an futerview with Gen, Tgnatieft, e suys Ig- natlell declared that his mlsslon was to obtain 8 formal sauction to the resolutions of the Cone ference, Russla held to their sunstance, but as regards the form, would accept Indifferently ¢ither a protocol emanating from tho six Pow- €rs, or a diplomatie fnstrument signed by Tur- “key ulone, but countersigned by the Powers, ‘The protocol, by making manifest the flrm re- solve of tho Powers to ses the reforms accom- Plished, would give the proposals of the Con- ference the form of positive adjuration, Russa would not grant Turkey more than two months’ graco for executing the re- forms. When this term expired the Powers would be no Jonger boutd to act collectively, but would bo compelted In virtuo of the proto- col to allow the free exerclse of arued Interven- tlon by ono or several Lowers, The Gencral continued; * Our destre for peaco 18 80 strung, that even If England only partially accedes to our views, we shall not break off negotiations, but use fresh efforta to obtaln concesslons, No thue, bowever, must bo loat, We cannot leave our army Inactive, Womust elther utilize or Prepare to disbaud it.” Uen, Igna stated that he was furnished with full powers by his Govermment.

The Pavslavonic Noroye Vremya, taking the op- posite view, declares that Russia and Germany uro nmlutlucd to remaln allles, whatever the mnutual hatred ond distrust of the two natlons tow ench other, According to the Noroye Vremya, though the Gerinans regard the Rus- sians as uncivilized barbarfuns, and though the Russinus love the Qaul rather than the Teuton, fnexoruble fate hns_decreed that the Berlla and Ht. l'cmnburlf Governments shall be al- lea, Pluced Letween Russin and France, Germany will nlwue'l bo obliged to second Russ sis.
