THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.
London, February 4. Mr John Morley, speaking in reference to the speech of Loid Salisbury to the Nonconformist Union, contended that speech meant the effacement of British influence in Turkish affairs. The Sultan is highly satisfied with the Premier's declaration, and has ordered the Turkish Ambassador in London to thank Lord Salisbury. Mr Balfour, leader of the House of Commoxis, said that the world would welcome the acquisition by Russia of a commercial outlet in the Pacific, and that British commerce would indirectly be the gainer by it. Mr Gladstone, writing to the press, states that when the evacuation of Egypt was proposed in 1892 the Powers were not willing to assist in arranging terms of settlement.
