A TRIUMPH FOR DIPLOMACY.
London, May 7. Lord Salisbury, addressing a meeting of the Primrose League, said that it had been the desire of the Government to restrain Greece in her recent action, but the exhibition of obstinacy and lack of wisdom displayed by that Power was without parallel in recent hißtory. No efforts would be spared to secure peace. The Powers had succeeded in their main object of preventing a European war, and were now more closely united and on better terms of friendship than for many years. The threatened opening up of the Eastern question had been averted, and if Turkey collaped there was no need to fear a general war. The whole matter had been a great triumph for diplomacy, and, apart from the local conflict between Turkey and Greece, the peace of Europe was on a sound i basis.
