Lmndcat, Oet, 12.?The Right Hon.
Geogc J, Goschen, lust Lord of thu
Admiralty, the Duke of Devonshire,
president of the Council, dud the Right
Hon. Arthur J. Hnlfottr, ilrst Lord ol the
Treasury, have been summoned by
Prime .Minister Salisbury til a confer?
ence in London. The olllclals nnnied.
with tin- Khihi Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain. Secretary of State nn tin- Colo?
nies, form a council within Hie Cabinet.
They uii' preparing discussions on
which the plenary council's opinion will
b" taken. Mr. Goschens hurried arrival
from Switzerland yesterday, ami his
long subsequent stay at the Admiralty,
created the impression thul diingerous
developments are impending. Involving
action mi the purl of Hie British Medit?
erranean sitUatlroti. Reliable foreign
otllcers opinion is. however, Hull ii is
not tin Turkish Govern.nt.t bill that
of t'liliiu which is urgently engaging
the attention of ill.- Ministers. Viceroy
Chung Chili Tung, undaunted by the
deiuonstrtitlon made lately by the Brit?
ish tl-et on the Mill river Ulli) tb" Yung
Ts.- Klang, has curtly refused to he
n.--e,| us a medium to convey 10 Pekln
the British demands for u fuller inquiry
int.. ibe Ku i'Illing iiiussaere ami repar
utioiui therefor.
Ii iS in.I believed thai i'.leat Bt'ttllin

has iilioudy taken. It Is expected thul
unotli.'l ultimatum will be sein simul?
taneously In Cluing I'lilb Tung ami the
Government nt Pokllt within the next
few day's. Probably Lord Salisbury will
consult wiili ;ln lull Cabinet beton

..I ih.- British s(|iiudriiii in Chinese
waters The position recalls .. speech
that was made by I lord Silllsblir> as
far but'k us 1871, during a di bale in
ii..- 11 .use of Lords ..ii lie- massacre of
missionaries In Tien Tain. He lli.iVii
said that the I inverilllli'lll of Clitilll did
mil have ih.- power, even if ii bad (he
will. 10 prevent II..- unlive tooling
against foreigners culminating in out
rages. The only ?? lo deter the Clilh
fi"ie committing such outrages
was Ul Inspire leal In Ho- places whore
they occurred u is Hie conviction in
official eii.i.s Huh i...id Salisbury is
inspired by the sunn- ..pinion now ami
that in- im ans lo lake decisive action.
l'h>- pamphlet violently attacking Am?
bassador Hiiyaid .I other American*
issued by Loul Saekvllie, who, as t-ir
Lionel Saokvllle West, was some time
British Minister Hi the Bulled States,
lias not excited the small.-si Interest
here. A long Minimal.v ol the pamph?
let appeared in a provincial paper, on
Which. The Telegraph commented) hut
did not quote the pamphlet. Tin- Si.
.Inui 'S Ouzel 18, whuli Is noted t"t its
dislike ot Americans ami all Illings
American, curtly referred t" tie- imit?
ier us il st,inn ill a slop On Si II.
No other paper mentioned it. In the
Pnglisb diplomatic, as \Voll as ill the
public mind, l.oid Snckvltle's position
as uii exilncl diplomat, who was never
much esteemed, deprives the piimpblel
Ol all its importance, except as a llollbl
flll historic document, the validity of
which depends upon its coinciding with
the published onTolnl record. Lind Saek?
vllie personally bus not the remotest
p din. al million. .-. Since bis withdrawal
from I lie diplomatic service he lias sunk
out of Sight ns completely as an un?
known ooii ii try squire.
There Is a vague rumor eurreni In the
clubs that Mr Bayard has brought lie
pamphlet lo Lord Salisbury's notice, but
this is hardly creditable. Lord Salis?
bury has no olllclal right lo interfere in
the mutter, as Lord Siiokvillo Is now
outside of the Government service.
With tin- exception of the news Hint
the Port.- in preparing t.. bar the pas?
sage <d the Dardanelles with mines. :?<
reinforce tin- troops nnd to strengthen
tin- fort works, the position oi affairs
in Turkey, according to the latest for?
eign ollice advice. |m more satisfactory.
Tin- British squadron remains at i bi?
ts hi ml of LeillllOS, at the >-nt ram e Ot t he
Dardanelles, despite the request of the
Sultan thai tin- fleet be taken lo a more
distant point. Whatever else may hap-:
pen no Coup like Hie nbsurd Canard
reported from Vienna lust nlghl to tin
effect that the ii.-. t was ready to sail
for Constantinople, and that a Russian
squadron was anchored mar the llosp
horus, Is withm the range of probabili?
ty, If the British licet Ultimaten ap?
pears at Constantinople it will be ufter
du.- formalities that will be announced
lb.- world over
In tin- meantime the best Informed di?
plomatic opinion heie regards a pad lie
settlement of tin- pending questions as
almost certain, the Sultan granting 'he
full concessions demanded. Theslton
tlon appears to lie so much ameliorated
that hero, will be no plenary cabinet
Council called until the end Of the
month, the usual time for the Ministry
to begin t<> consider the Parliamentary
programme. The Westminster On
zette says that people an- asking why
tin- Cabinet -iocs not meet, forgetting
the fact jhat Government business i*
now carried on by nn Inner Cabinet,
consisting Of Lord Salisbury, the l.t.
lion. George J, Goschen. First Lord ol
tin- Admiralty; the Duke .<i Devonshire,
President of tb.- Council; the Rt. Hon.
Arthur .1. Half. nr. First Lord of tb,.
Treasury, and the Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the
Colonies. Though this is true, Lord
Salisbury will never commit the coun
try io armed coercion of Turkey with
out consulting tin- whole Ca blue! in
Council.
Trouble has arisen Itetween Groat
Britain and Kruuce over the Mtirniesc
Chlnese frontier. Under the Chlncsi
Convention, Prance actiulred a large
area of territory in Shun Stute of Li?
ang-Mutig. Great Britain denies the
rieht of Chinese cede this territory,
which Is a part ,.| buffer state I? tweoh

It France declines in give up tin terri?
tory In question lirlttsli troops will

claimed to be purl ol Burniuh.
Tin- Spectator publishes a striking ar?
ticle on tin- Monroe doctrine. It says
that Kiigllshiiu ii huve no sort Of objec
tlon to Hn- int.- Monroe doctrine. They
want no ex tent ton of territory In Amer?
