The amended protocol has been signed, but while the negotiations have developed England's hostility to Russia, the instrument itself has left the great Northern Power practically free to choose its path tn the future, and there is little doubt whither that path will lead, 1 is necessary to look back a day or two to catch some of the indications. Iguatie:t returned defeated from London, expressing humiliation and anger at the action of Engiand jn insisting that Russia should disarm. Although Turkey had outraged civilization England covered her with her moral support, wishing to hu- Miltate Russia, the Power which supports the trazm- plea Christiane of the Turkish Empire. Ignatied’s teturn wae held to render war inevitable, and Engiand’s hasty consent to sign the modified proto- co; shows that she so considered 1t; but there are lew who believe now that the object sought at the lust moment will be secured, RUSSIA'S PRACTICAL POLICY. A glance at the actual position of Turkey will help Jo an understanding of the fact that the danger is not by any means at an end. Russia has sur- rounded Turkey with & chain of antagonists. She has a treaty. with Persia compelling the latter Power to attack Asiatic Turkey at the proper mo- ment, for Persia wants territory which onty through Rassian co-operation can secure her. The Russians threaten Asia Minor from the Caucasus. Mon- tenegro at Russia’s Leck wilh continue the war, probably aided by &® Russian contin. gent under Tchernayet. The wild, fear- less tribes of Albania sare «arming. A rising is anticipated tn Epirus and Thessaly. The Greeks are making eXtraoridipary preparations. ‘The Russian authorities estimate that they will be ready to put 1,000,000 soldiers In the field before campaigning weather comes round.

A MEMORASLE PARAL iguatied™s return im indignation promises wo Agure as conspicuously in history as the return of | the Roman envoy from Carthage. Engiand refused the toga in treating Russia's propositions with dis- i rest and disrespect. WHAT THE PROTOCOL COVERS. ‘Yne protocol was signed at half-past four this sfternoon in this city, Its terms, on the best tn. sormation obtainable, are those of @ rather shad- owy compromise, Instead of a condition of dis- armament veing formally embodied, as England originaily demanded, Count Schouvaloty, on signing, makes a declaration in the name of the Russian-:| government expressing its readiness to disarm in expectation of peace being toncluded with Monte- negro; and on the condition that the Turks now follow the advice of the Powers, and especially that they cease all repetition of the atrocities on tne Christians. LOOPHOLES IN THE PROTOCOL, While Russia 1s well aware how difficult it will be, in view of the recent applauded deciarations of speakers in the Turkish Parliament sustaining the rejection of the propositions of the Powers in tie Constantinople Conference, other conditions are added which will try Turkish pride tothe utmost, Russia announces Anally that she ts willing to treat directly with the Porte, and that sie will receive a special Turkish commission in St. Petersburg, the said commission tocome soliciting Russia to disarm, shus satisfying Russia’s amour propre. Such action, it ts hinted, would remove Russia's objection to a Tight of interference by the Powers. Thus, without 4 distinct enunciation the idea of simultaneous ais. | armament is hinted atin the final shape of the pro- tocol. This watery compromise through whi Possible at any foment for the prow of resolve wo cut, It will be seen, Amounts to notbing more thac a sort of solemn call on Turkey to carry out the re- forms specified im the first tnstance in the Bertin note, and, secondly formulated tn the Conferen It leaves things as Uliey were, Turkey called to ace count ph Piece of parchment, plus a deep seated indignation tn Russia and her German ally.

Tnts does not look very promising lor peace, although some de- spatches on the subject speak hopefully. ENGLISH DOUBTS OP THE PROTOCOL The Times, 10 a leading article, says:— We cannot but see Turkey !n the background ! behing aii these fair arrangements of the Powers, So much depends on what the Porte will do or de- cline todo, and Russian disarmament te promised tn expectation of go many things which may not easily de {nifilied.

The government ts, in the circumstances, fully Justified tn sending out Mr Layard ‘The Turks are fai of animosity against Russia and the distrust of Russia’: seeming abettors may be even less reasonable than three months ago. Many tn- terpret Russia’s overtures as signs of pusillanimity and signs of Weakness. Mr. Layard has had ex. perience of the Turks, and perhaps there ts no Engiishman to whom they would more readily Msten, To him and the other ambassadors w? must ! look to impress on the Porte the expediency of doing nothing which may be represented as nullify- ing the protocoi. THE TURKISH PARLIAMENTS DECLARATION. 4 Vienna despatch, giving an account of the de- bate on the address in the Turkish Parliament in reply to the Sultan’s speech, modifies the first statements by declaring that, although several members spoke strongly im tavor of inserting ® paragraph in the address protesting, im the name of the Chamber, of Deputies against any cession of territory to Montenegro, and although thetr patriotic speeches were applauded only a general passage that the government should have due regard to the interests of the State was accepted, TURKEYS WRETCHED CONDITION. A Pera despatch explains the changes {n the Con- stantinople garrison. It says:—“The garrison, which exhibited symptoms of sympathy with the seditions Softas, is being gradually removed and re- placed by recruits fresh from Syria and other remote provinces. These are uncouth, wild looking men, op whose readiness to fire when bidaen thie government thinks{tcanrely. Whether | by peace or war society here is only too likely to be conyulsed to its uttermost depths, and there are many among the Turks as well as the Christians who only look for «® chance of safety in foreign intervention. The Galata bankers recently waited on the Grand |. Vizter to intercede for the telegraph operators, pointing out that the reduction of their salaries deprived them of a means of subsistence. The Grand Vizier replied that he did not know how, by the end of the present month anybody could be paid even in paper, as there was barely enough | money to provide the army with flour and rice. | THB RUSSIAN ARMY OF THE PRUTH.

A Vienna correspondent remarks on the forego- ing that it has een the case repeatedly that just at the moment when things are assuming a peaceful aspect wariike news comes from some quarter. This vo some extent ts explicable by the di:ference of date, news from Kischinei being a few days older than the political news, Still, the appearance side by side of peaceful and warlike intelligence, recur- ring as it now does for the third time, does not quite look Uke a fortultous coincidence, especially as it reters to crders for the future given to the Russian army. The communicativeness of the sian military authorities ts, at any rate, reciarkable. PETERMAN INDORSES STANLEY. Herr Peterman, the celebrated geographer, con- tributes an article to the Cologne Gazette upon the Alrican e@Xpedition sent out vy the New York HesaLD and London Daily Telegraph under Mr. Stanley's command, highly of the special Especially does he speak correspondent's capacity and hig achievyments. He observes that the scicutife world will be deeply indebted to | him and his princtpal Mr, Benneth “It is only three years stnce scientific African explora- tion began. Much has been done in that time; much remains to be done, The Nile’s sources, which old Ptolemy professed to make known about 130 A.D, are renily rade public to-day by an Amert- can explorer in the Alexandra stream and Jake,” ‘The article concludes by saying that tf Stanley suc. ceeds in reaching the coast, whether to the north or ww the west, after reaching Nyan- gwe, on the Lualaba, he wili have accomplished one of the grandest expeditions ever undertaken, He has already, tn any case, parpassed tn the promptness of his movements anything done vefore, Stanley has shown that whereas the | quiry tn Parliament Lord Bruce bas asked the | Arabs require {rom nine to twelve months to accom: | Piish the distance between Bagamayo anc Lake Uxkerewe, the intrepid correspondent required only 103 Gays, or about three months. ANCTIC EXPLORATION. Captain Narea read a paper before the Geographt- cal Society, In which he gives it ag his opinion that Unless the boundaries of Greenland trend more to the northward than they are supposed to do no ex- plorers tn the future can ever attain greater prox- imity to the Pole tnan hitherto. Count Wilezck, a wealthy Hungarian magnate, Proposes to send Messrs.

The HmmaLD’s special corre spondent at Rome teicgrapha that the Pope 18 not suifering ‘rom epileptic fits, as repeatedly stated, but only rheumatism in his leg. Receptions continue, as usual, at the Vatican. Trollope, im the Standard, says that specula tions as to who the future Pope will be are rife in Rome, dust that the value of all the gossip is infl- nitesimally small. The names of Sforza and Val- letta are the most prominent, but he thinks that Howard's chances are exceedingly good. , Mr. Troilope inciines to the view that an [tailan’ will | be elected. His opinion, thua expressed, douduecss grows out of the Inct that for centuries the Popes have been chosen ‘rom Italy. feretofore a reason for this has existed in the fact shat the Pope exer- | cised temporal as well as spiritual power in Italy, and as he was at once the ruler of ® nation and the head of a church—king, as weil | aS Pope—it was snavoidable that an. [talian should be selected. Now, however, that the tempo- ral power of the Pope has been broken, and that Victor Emanuel derides and defles the authority of the Vatican, the excuse no longer exists. On the other hand, a departure from the custom would seem to indicate that the conclave recognized the fate of the Church as a temporal Power tn Italy as sealed. MEDICINE KILLED HIM. | Another starting bit of Roman news {8 that Mgr. Nardis’ death ts clearly shown to have been caused by medical ignorance.

GOOD FRIDAY, The services at the churches and public halls yes- | terday were of the stexeotyped order. At the | Albert Hall the ever pleasing but everlasting “Mes- siah” was given, and thousands were turned away unable to get seats. There was aiso a sacred concert at the Crystal = Palace. Among the Portuguese and Spanish vessels in the London docks the time horored custom of fogging an eMgy of Judas Iscariot as it hung from the yard arm was fully indulged tn by the sailors. There was an incessant clanging of bells, amid shouts, curses and rude chanting, the whole form. ing a most ctrious medley of the wicked and pious | elements of human nature.
