Tho Gazette ox- pressed the opinion thut tho demisa of ‘Tur- key would not be caused by foreign aggres- sion, but by an absolute want of the peeunt- ary means necessary to prolong {ts existence. If recent telograins are correct, this predic- tlon {fs Hable to be verified ata much carller dato than could then have been expected, ‘Turkey 1s now sald to be almost at tho end of hor resources, Little revenue tg being re- celved from her already impoverished proy- inces, and hor custom-house receipts are utterly Inadequate to meet tho most neces- sary expenses of her Government. The debts due to army and navy contractors are not paid, and some of these, so great is thelr want, have been forced to demand an inter- view with tho Sultan, desperate step in Turkey, in order to require froin him a set- tlement of their accounts, ‘The sun now due contractors fot feeding the Turkish army and navy fs stated to be over $5,000,000; There is no money to meot this emergency, and It is feared that the means of subsistence for the anny must soon cense, ‘The sane want of money Is felt in every other department of the Government. ‘The Imited amount received 13 squandered in paying the extravagances of the Sultan and his harem, or in exorbitant sniarles ton few of his personal favorits and highor oflicials, With these exceptions, the em- ployés of the Porte receive little or nothing for thelr services, and tho. thne appears near when the entire public service of Turkoycan only be maintained by a system of wholesale robbery. and plunder of the Turkish people, In the meantime, the Sultan’s most Intimate counselors seem to haye lost all reason. Judged by thelr actions, they believe that Turkey is able to oppose the entire power of Europe. They havgg alienated from her tho sympathies of ovor¥ foreign Government, and it may bo doubted that, even If Lords Buaconstield and Salisbury had retained power in England, they would have been either willing or able to. longer bolster up tho flagrant misriule and shameful violation of all promises of which tho Turkish Goy- ernment has been so openly guilty, There can bo no doubt as to the polloy the British Liberals will pursue, Lord Hartington stated in one of his campaign speeches that they would do all in their powor to crente n conlition for compelling Turkey to introduce the reforms she has promised on every occa- sion, but which she has constantly and defi- antly falled to carry out. Thoro is evidently nothing to. pravent them from adopting this program., A coniition for this purpose would probably not be opposed by a single country in Europe. Public disgust at tho conduct of the Turks hos become so marked that any proposition having this In view will be most gladly welcomed by any European Govern- ment, and the demands which may be made upon the Sultan will bo most promptly and sternly enforced. Many of the Liberals go even farthor than Lord Uartington !n tho desire to enforce re- forma upon tho Turkish Government. ‘Mr. Glulstone has especially been most positive in Ms assertions that ft is ldle to trust longer to any promises of reform which may bo given by the Sultan, Ibs opinion can be ae- cepted ns that of tho party he representa, and thls opinion will constitute the policy of the Liberal Cabinet, For many years England has been the only obstacle to retlve interven- tlon in ‘Turkish affairs by the remainder of Europe, This barrier may now be regarded as withdrawn, and, instead of interposing to prevent European Powers from attacking ‘Turkey, sho will probably now take n lent- ing part for the relief and better government of the Turkish people, 1t is now certain, wo think, that the ‘Turkish Government will elther have to comply with the demands of uulted Europe or it will be forced to give place to some othor and bettor ar rangement, But neithor tho Sultan nor the Porto havo tho power, oven if thoy had tho will, to carry out any system of reform whatever, ‘That they have not tho will ts ovident from the recent trint of Fund Pasha, tho only real friend of roform in the ‘Lurkish Government, and who was brought before & court-martial for .the bare mention of the necessity which ox: Jated for tho Sultan keeping bis prom- ises to the European Powers, The In- ternal condition of Thessaly, Albania, Ar- menia, of Constantinople even, shows that tho authority uf, the Government meeta with ho obedience and little respect, unless It is exerted In accordaneo with the wishes of Mohammedan fanaticism. ‘This fanaticlam is now in absolute ascendency at tho Porte, Tho Sultan hlmsol£ has recently given the plainest evidence that he will be govorned by no other jnflucnce, Never before has he shown himself so arrogant and de- fiant towards the Christian Powers, nor has hoe before; been 80 open, not only iu his neglect of their wishes, but in his determined resistance to any demand or suggestion any one of than has made, Asa natural consequence of this evident fooling ou his part, tha different Io- gatlons ‘and Embassies at Constantinople present at this time the very unusual pho- nomenon of an entire accord on many iu! portant questions, Independent of the reforms to which we have alluded, and the attempt to. enforce which will be forelbly and bitterly resisted, the entire absence of pecuulary resources on tho part of the Governinent must necessarily lend to such a state of unarchy and disorder ast render Jnterventlon by the European Powers finperative.

Tho result of such hostilities cannot for a moment ba a matter of doubt, The first gun fired by the Turks in anned opposition to such intervention will seal the fate of thelr Government. Jn this event n Congress of diplomats will attempt to settle tho various questions Involved, and, if A peaceful solution {s reached, the Sultan's dostiny and that of his people may perhaps be treated with some leniency. If, ns is most probable, war betweon tho different Euro- pean Powers shoul result, we do nat be- Heve that any combination the Turk might make with one or more of them would serve to prolong Turkish power in Europe. It Is far more likely that {f the ‘Turks do not at ‘once yleld full and prompt compllance with any demand made upon. thein by Europe they will be forced, ns suggested by Mr. Gladstone, to move “bag and baggage” Into Asia, The advent of the British Liberals to power, and tho present condition of Turklah finances, as sot forth In the telegrams wo have mentioned, lead us to think that the next European war will occur fn Turkey, and that its outbreak may be expected at no distant day, — A PIECE OF BRITISH MEANNESS, There Is little wonder that there should bo Brent indignation {1 Congressional and offl- ell circles in Washington over tho refusal of the British Government to recognize the ‘Ameriean claim for damages growing out of the Fortune Bay outrages, Tho claim wasn mere bagatel—$103,000—ns_ compared with the vast sum of money the United States Government lng paid over for tho privilega of fishing in Canadian waters, which was wantonly violated by the local nuthoritics of Newfoundland. Tho American Government submitted to the unjust award of $5,600,000 for theao privileges, which was mado by n Commission that Great Britain had proeti- enlly packed by means of its peculiar influs ence over tho Belgian representative, ‘The Atherican Government has also deprived It- solf of nn important revenue during several yenrs by permitting the free importation of Canndtan fish and oils, and the very firat oc- easton that arose for the United States to de- mand reciprocal protection under the treaty has been Improved by the British authoritles toadd Insult to Injury, The ground upon which the British Min- istry Is reported to have refused tho restitu- tlon demanded Js utterly trivial, It 1s con- tended that there aro Jocal Inws in New- foundland providing for tho destruction of property in cases where seines are used for shore fishing, aud these Inws wero passeit prior to the date when the Washington Treaty was concluded. It 13° held that the treaty conferred rights upon the Americans subject to the existing local Jaws, and that, if American fishermen have yvlolated any of these regulations, they are not entitled to any refinbursement for the destruction of their property growing out of such violation. ‘Then It follows that the Americnn Govern- inent has remitted duties amounting to some $500,000 a year for tho benefit of the Canadian fishermen, and further pald $5,500,000 In cash forthe high privilege of fishing with hook and line on the Canadian shore! ‘This view of the case Is simply preposterous, and yet It is the logical deduction from the posi- ton assumed by tho British Government, which refuses to relmburse Amerienn tisher- men for property that was destroyed by the local nuthorities of Newfoundland, because the American fishermen were dragging scines from the shore in tho exercise of what they believed to be a right that had been dearly pald for. Thore Is something peoullarly mean aud niggardly about the action of Great Britain in this matter. It will effectually check any moyoment that would otherwise have been made for the repayment to England of tho surplus of the Alabama fund not yet dis- tributed, and will also discournge all further efforts In the direction. of reci- procity with Canada, It ought also fo lent to the wbrogntion of the Washington ‘Treaty so far as tt relntes to re- elproent conditions in Canadian fishing, and the relmposition of duties on Canadian fish and fish-olts imported into the United States. It has been sufllciently domonstrated that tho terms of the treaty are altogether one- sided, and the sooner a bad bargain Is termi- nated the better tt will be for the Injured party. Great Britain has obtained by meth- ods that were not very creditable five and a half millions of Ainerican money for an empty privilege which it does not protect, and we presume thore is now no way to get the money back. But the feeling will now bo moro genera! than over that the payment should nover have been mado; anil, ifAmer!- can fishermen are not to be guaranteed pro- tection against assault or Indemnifleation for nets of vandalism whilo ‘exercising thelr tights under the trenty, thon it fs high time to abandon the shadow and semblance of priviteges that cannot be snfely enjoyad, and to make Canada pay dearly for all the bene. fits it seoks through American trado, ———— FROF, NORDENSKJOLD'S VOYAGES. The arrival of Prof. Nordenakjtild, the grt Jant Scandinavian oxplorer, in Paris, and hits Iecture before the French Geographical So- clety upon the results of his Arctic explorn- tlons, have awakened fresh Inferest In this fascinating subject, and will unquestionably Grouse more yoneral attention because his investigations have been conducted with a practical purpose in viow—namely: the possi- bility of navigating the Siberian Arctic Ocoan and opening itup asa new highway of commerce, ‘The routo followed by Prof, Nordenskjald commenced {n the Norwegian Sen, passed the North Capa of Europe, thones southeast through the Sea of Kara past the great gulf mouths of the Siberian Rivers Obf, Jentsel, and Lona, and thence northeast to Behiring’s Straits, ‘Cheso three tlyers uro great naylgable canalsthat connect . tho Interlor of Asla with the Arctlo Ocean, If, therefore, a practical maritime connec- tion can be found between the first two and tho Atlantic and the Inst and tho Pacific, it opens to commerce, as tho Professor sald In his lecture, “tho half of one of the divisions of the globe, makes possible the exportution of the products of agriculture, of tho forests, and of the mines of immense Tegions remarkable for thelr fertility and richness, and gives in-thla way to thelr in- habitants tho means of exchanging ‘the pro- ductions of tholr soil for the industrial prod- ucts of Europe and ‘America, conditions actually necessary for the comfort and hap plness of the poorest individuals among the Europenns.” It was with such an object in view that Prot, Nordenskjold made his voyago of ox- ploration with the ttle Vern two years ago, ‘Tho Vouga lest Norway July 25, 1878, and was at the mouth of the Lena on the 2th of Au- gust, and the following winter was passed on the north shore of Jehring’s Straits. A Week's thine had been lost fu waiting for the ‘Vega's tender and for coal. Several days? time was lost through ignorance of the coast east of the Lena, and eeveral duys were con- sumed In making soundings to ascertain if moro direct courses could not be taken in- atead of following the coast Ilue, involving muuch greater distances. It was avident to Lim that under favorable circumstances tt would havo been possible to reach Belring’s Btraits at the beginning ox at the most_by. the middle of September. .As to the poss!- bility of repeating such voynges as the Vega made, the Professor says: One thing §s certatn, that {f even the knowl- eatgo that wo possess of tho sen ntong considera bie extents of tho northorn consta of Asia is tll very Incomplete, that sen haa (in howlae merited thobud reputation bestowed upon it by wnsne- ceraful attempts of navintion ple airing three and a half centuries, Can Aho voyage Which tho Vegi has accomplished be repented every year? It is for the moment impossibio to fnswer this mtestion bya positive ses or no. Tho first response world be of n nature to curity: provoke n nuinber of preinature attempts; tho second would perhaps ono day be ne completely revoked by experlonee ns the well known splloe of tho story of tho frst cireumnaviga- tion of the globe. ‘Hut what T believe ts that our voynge can by often repented, and that it will bo no doubt ofton with sucecss, ‘The summary of the Professor's lecture gives us exactly what ho has ascertained in this remarkabie voyage. He clatus, first, that the route from tho Atlantic to the Pacific ought to be navigable by a sultable steamer with experienced mariners, but that the en- tire route in all probability cannot be made avaliable for commereit! purposes, He claims, in the second place, that there exists no difficulties for the ulillzation ns a com- morelal route of the way by sea bulween the Obt and Jenisef Rivers and Europe, and that, “according to nll probability, the route by sen between the Jehisel and the Lena and between the Lena and Ettrope can be equal- ly uttlized ns routes of commerce, but tho going and returning between the Lenn and Europe cannot be effected in the couras of the suine summer.” As to the possibillty of inaritime commercial relations between the Lapa and Paeltic, be is in doubt, and thinks that further explorations will be needed to deelde the question, In conclusion, he says: alany persons will, no doubt, find the viows that [have expressed a little too rich In prom- ies. Tho oxparicuoa that we actualy posscas of the parts of tho Jec Sea situnted between the Jenisel und Behring's Straits ts In reallty so small that it leaves an ample lleld for diverscoplotons, and itis clear thut tho question ennnot be defl- nitly solved except by ulterior explorntions. ‘To show how Ittle authorized would be an abso- jute negation, let me be permitted to mention atguin that tho vessels of tho Danish-Greonland Commercial Companys in tholr voyages to tho waters weat of Greenland, alivays filled with Ice, iire Jeas exposed to disasters and damages than Havigutors In the sens of China, and that tho Norwegiin whalers anil annuully on the western: shores of Spitzbergen beyond tho Intitude reached with diMeulty by the -vesecis of Phipps and Tchitschagow, cqulpred with all tho ro- sources of Russia and England. it is quite in the donuiln of possibility that identical clrewm- atanices may nt soni tine become tho rule in tho navigation plone the northern shores of Asia, Hut forthat it is not only necessary to know whethor there oxist difficulties and obstacles, ‘but aleo to know what thoso difenlties and ob- stacles are, where they ary met with, where they cenao, and bow thoy ean be avolited, Successfuf ag tho bold Norweginn ex- plorer was in making this trip from ocean to ocean along the inhospitable shores of the Arctic, and valuable as his Investigations have been in correcting many errors made by former explorers ns to the real character of the Siberian Arctic Ocean, the world will still ask the question it has always asked os to Arctic voyages, ‘Cut bono?” He has discovered that one-half the distance from the North Capo to Behring’s Straits can be inado under certain conditions that ara. very ‘adverse to commercial success, and the other half of the distance is as -problematical as ever. What Prof, Nordenskjild has idded to our knowledge of geography we fancy willbe much more valuable than any ad- vantages he has secured for commerce by lls trip from qeean to ocean ——_— ELECTION AMENITIES IN GREAT BRIT- AIN, It has been the enstom of English journals for years to lament the want of courtesy to candidates manifested in our elections, and tofreely comment thereon to the detriment of republican Institutions, with superciilous diings nt our backwoods style of ctvilization, Of Inte, however, they have had their atten- tlon turned towards thely’ own elections, es- peelally in tho recent campaign; but, curl- ously enough, what’ they so lavishly con- demned in ours thoy appear to regard as funny in theirs. Even such a high-toned journal as the Saturday Revicw, referring to the assaults upon Mr. Parnell, says: “ It is impossible to regard tho hat, or the coat, or the other garments of Mr. Parnoll as woe feo) that thoy ought to be regarded; human nat- ure fs too weak for that It was, as In a parallel case recorded by Mr, Browning, ‘sad, and bad, and inad? of the Enniscorthyites to rabble Mr. Parnell; but somehow or other, the knowledge that he was rabbled is not wholly disagreeable. This is wrong, but it ig human nature.” Tho difference between tho two countries Is just this: that what strikes tho Saturday Revicty as so funny would have roused a storm of indignation all over this country had It happened hero, A few of the “funny” incidents, as told by the Review, will serve to indicate tho quatniness and froticsomencss of the British elector when he seriously turns his atten- tlon to 9 candidate. Mr, Pender, n Scotch borough member and candidate for retlec- tion, who was announced to have no\oppo- sition, fn the course of his campaign- ing tour arrives at Stromness, where the shnpleminded, quict people evident- ly determined he should lave some op- position, ‘They allowed him to make his speech, applauding him to the tcho, and at the close, after thoir fashion, took the horses out of his carriage, ostensibly to draw tho member to his hotel, It was o proud day for Mr. Pender, and he surveyed the scene with expressions of serene satisfnc- tion, After riding for some tine, however, it struck him that he was not near- ing his hotel, and that there avere singu- lar expressions. of mirth among hls human draft animals. Ils approhonston finally gave way to consternation as he saw hiinselé rapidly going down a deeliylty, heading directiy for the ocean, Fortunately for Mr, Pender, the enrringe stuck inv rut just before it reached the water, and, with their best efforts, Ms team could not budge {t. Ho then commenced addressing _ the crowd from the enrringa windows with’ tho purpose of mollifying them; but, Instead ‘of mmollifying, they hooted at him, and then they commenced to sinnsh the earrings into kind- nga, ‘Tho memberslowly cmergad from tho wreck, and thon his hat was smashed, and at Just he was allowed to foot lis way back to the hotel, thankful that ho was not adrift on tho Atlantic, and convinced that there was some opposition to his candidacy in Strom- ness, At Dundeo, Mr. Blalr, another eandl- date, white making his speech, was suddenly selzed by the crowd and carried, klek- Ing and struggling, to tho _ docks, for the purpose of belug thrown overboard,— Q purpose which would have been carried out had It not been for the vollva who rallied tohlgrescue, At Cheater, Mr, Malyarint, a candidate, appeared ato public mecting in na theatro in white kids, immaculate necktic, and swallow-tull, Tho plebelan crowd ro- sented this aristocratle display of raiment and wont for {t with rotten eggs and decayed vegetables, ant they splashed it all over, ‘Tho curtain was quickly rung down, but tho crowd went for tha curtain and soon tore it up and then swarmed all over the stage In quoatof the dilapidated Mr, Malgarini, who ‘succeeded in escaping by the stage door and in making his way to his hotel in s very odorous and offensive condition, It Is sald that he was so disgusted with the manners of tho cloctors that he did not appear again a8 a candidate, but retired to the privacy of ‘Als owntnanslon, where there was no danger that bis elexance would be Interfered with again. As to the adventures of Mr. Parnell we let the Sulurday Review tell the story. It says: ir. Parnell took two candidates and wont dona With thous Lo Bunscortiy, Ominous signs, Wo nro told, showed thomecives on tho way, Rayons orcaked on tho wrong side, —ttint ta fo any, when they came to tho Town of Ferns tholr reeeption was much fess cordial than that nes conted to tho Hoy, doseph Murphy.

The It Joseph thon comprehensively nunounced that “ho stood thero to resist tho Mlototorsitip of every man,” n sentiment than which it is lift cuitto iinagine anything mare noble or less cleat. Tho cnemy adyaneed, and Mr, Parnell, reckless of Nemesis, attempted to mount the platform. Only Homer, the unknown author of a romance of “Fiorabras,” or Thackera: could fly describe what followed.

When something like an audience had beon obtained, the insults of the crowd wero even more crue! than thelr ine Mrics, ‘Thoy entreated Mr. Parnell to take off ho bnt which thoy had smashed; thoy bade him mend tho garments thoy had torn.

What happened at Ferns, Dundee, Ches- ter, and Stromness happened at scores of other places to scores of othor candidnics, among them some of the most prominent on the list. ‘There wero very few who got elected without black eyes and broken noses or applications of all sorts of filth plentifully besmeared over them, There did not seem tobe any special desira on the: part of the electors that the enndidates should bo de- feated, but, being candidates, it struck them that they were fair game for that frollesome, playful disposition which characterizes tho Britain, and for that mantfestation of fair biay that Is sald to be characteristic of him, —tho iden of fatness only occurring when tho odds are several hundred to one. Then all is fair for the-mob. Even in this blarsted country,” whoro our elyilization 1s of the backwoods sort, such outrageous in dignities would not bo tolerated without strenuous remonstrance and the certainty that some one would get punished. THE APRIL OYOLONES, When tho actual extent of the aren tra- versed by tho fearful tornado of Sunday, April 18, is ascertained by the Signal-Service Bureau, and the complete records of its dis- aster are madg up, it- will unquestionably proye to have been one of the most wide- sweeping storms that. have ever devastated this country, fn the fength and breadth of its course as woll ns in the destruction of prop- orty and the loss of fe it entalled,—not even excepting tho furlous cyclone which some yenrs ago destroyed Camanche and Now Albany, in Iowa. It Is as yet too early todctermine the actual limits and boundaries of the great storm, but its general course Is apparent. It was preceded on the 18th by n smaller cyclone, which whirled through Southern Olio and West Virginia, but was not necompanted by any serlous loss. The great tornado, two days later, seems to haye gathored {ts first headway in Ozarle County, Arkansas, or it wasatthat point that it first descended to the carth. Irom thera {t traveled in a north- easterly direction, doing its worst daim- aga in the northorn part of the State, wher tho Towns of El Paso and ‘Fayetteville were wiped out and Dardanelle partially de- stroyed, ten people. being killed, As it en- tered Missour!, up the Valloy of the James River, it gained fearful strength and velocity, still following its northeasterly course and sweeping everything beforelt, Licking, Bar- rettsville, and Marshfleld were destroyed, and. Findlay, Pineville, Cassville, Gray’s Creek, Now ioomficld, and Shawnee partially so. Its full fury was expended upon Marshfield, where 180 buildings, were leveled to tho ground, and nearly 100 lives wero lost. So far as known, 121 people were killed in Mis- sourl, and the list of injured runs up {nto the hundreds, Within its aren tho destruction wns complete. Houses, barns, fences, trees, shrubbery, everything wassweptaway. The -destruction wng as complete as If a fire had swept over the country. After leaving Mis- sourl the monster bégan to losa some of his power, ‘Tho eastern edges of Iowa and Kan- 6as wero touched Hghtly at Dubuque, Wyan- dotte, and Lawrence, Crossing the Missis- sippl, {t saemed to gather a little more force, and its eifeats were felt at Rockton, La Salle, Ottawa, Ashland, and other points north of the Illinols River, As it entered Wisconsin its area grew narrower, for wo only hear: of itin Rock County, where ten or eleven towns were badly injured, though no ono was killed, Itseemsto have died away at Manitowoc, on the western shore of Lake Michigan, whore so many. othor storms of this description have spent their force, Fol- lowltng In the wake of this monster, smaller cyclones swept through Adams County, In this State, on the 23d, and Macoupin County on the 2th, doing considerable damage, but insignificant as compared with the cyclone of the 18th, The deseription of the cyclone exactly tallies with thatot the other great ones which have started in the distantSouth- west, carrying ruin and devastation in their track, and ultimately dissipating thelr force on Lake Michignu. It wasn black, funnel- shaped cloud, lined with white Inaide, whirl- ing with Inconcolvable rapidity, aecom- panied with thunder and lightning, and at some points with sheets of raln, roaring like some. huge animal, dipping down fo the earth and bounding from It ngain Mike =a balloon that is not under control, sucking | everything into its vortex and whirling it out again over tho udges of Its funnel, over the country it was passing. In some places showers of sand were thrown from It, and in others stones, branches of trees, fragments of: houses, and all kinds of débris, Fortunntely Chicago has been spared, feeling only the wind which has accompanied tho cyclone, aroused by its atmosphorio disturbance, and nightly thun- der-sturms which hayo come. from the same quarter, and worked tlivir way against the strong northonst winds which hays blown neross Lake Michigan, When tho complete history of the tornado of April 18 1s madoup, It will unquestionably prove to have been the most oxtensive and dostructlyo that has over swept over the Mississlppl Valley, A very prominent Democrat In New York, who afitintoa with the Kolly wing of tho party (possibly Dorshelmor), sald to Georgo Alfred Townsend: . “Mr, Zildon is cheated in his delegation.
