THE SITUATION. special Despatch to Examiner. ) Lonpon, April 18.
| Uutbreaks at St. Petersburg, Moscow,
and Kiff, which followed the news of Vera
Sassalitcha’s trial, are said to have been so
° (Sp °4
serious as to give rise to reports in Berlin that a revolution has broken out. The
Berlin Post, commenting on the news, says that Russia is threatened with serious dan- gers.
Pro- Russian advices from Constantinople say that in the event of war, Russia’s action will be governed by Austria’s attitude. [f Austria is neutral, Russia will, undoubt- edly, seize the Bospherous. Should Aus- iria prove otherwise, it is doubtful whether the Russians will try to hold the Bos- pherous or any thing south of Adrianople. They will, perhaps, abandon Turkey en- tirely except the fortresses, and attack Austria from Gallicia, Roumania and Rus- sia. Other Constantinople advices say that the Turks have 70,000 men round the city, and 18,000 at Gallipoli, and would resist any attempt to enter the capi- tal, but the attitude of .the Government is expectant and the present disposition is to abide by the Treaty of San Stefano and observe neutrality, defending it if necessary. :
Prince Miraski, Generals Skobeloff and Ganska, and other officers, are at Pera.
About 89 soldiers daily (from the Guards and 16th Division) visit Constantinople in uniform.
Fever is prevalent both in the camp and city.
The political character of the new Turkish Ministry is uncertain; but it is noteworthy that it does not include Raouff and Osman Pashas, the reputed leaders of the Pro- Russian party, and that the Turkish news- papers again assert that the Government will vesist the occupation of Constantinople by any foreign power. o
iret oh A ye i Orrawa, April 17.—In the Senate this afternoon, following the defeat of the Gov- ernment on the Quebec mattef# yesterday, the Receiver General’s bill was thrown out by a vote of 34 to 22. It is likely that some other measures will meet with a like fate.
In the Commons the (Globe's disgraceful article accusing Sir John, Domville, Me- Dougall and Plumb of drunkness was dis- cussed,
The eccusation was indignantly denied by Hector Comeron, Paimer, of St. John, Dr. Orton, J. N. Gibbs, Methot A. Wright and Currier, all men of the first standing. The Globe’s article was not defended by any one—not even Dymond, who merely said the Globe would take care of itself.
A large number of members leave to- mofrow for the Easter holidays.
The Governor General’s Address.
Orrawa, April 17.—The Governor Gen- eral said in his speech, which is published to-day from official copy :—
‘* Honorable gentlemen :
‘* If there are no positive advantages to which I can point as having resulted from my administration, there is one boast I can fairly make. No act or word of mine has had a tendency to damp your personal de- votion to the Crown, to discourage your: at- tachment to the Empire, or discredit the system of constitution under which you live. I leave you with even a deeper con- viction in your minds that the due applica- tion of the principles of Parliamentary Gov- ernment is capable of resolving every polit- ical difficulty, and of contrelling the gravest ministerial crisis to the satisfaction of the people at large, and of their leaders and representatives of every shade of opinion. Closely associated with me in the discharge of all my duties has been the lady to whom your address refers in so kind a manner. Moving amid a society where the proverbial gallantry of Frenchmen combines with Eng- lish and Celtic chivalry to create in every Canadian home an atmosphere of purity and refinement, she naturally regards the six years she had passed amongst you as one of the happiest periods of her life, and Iam commissioned to convey to you her warmest thanks for the good wishes you have ex- pressed in her regard. In conclusion, allow me to assure you that I shall esteem it one of the greatest privileges of my future life to watch the progressive development of your prosperity, to advocate your interests in the British Parliament, and to confirm our fellow-countrymen at home in their conviction of the high degree to which Can- ada is destined to contribute to the welfare, the strength, and the renown of the British Empire.”

The Queen and Conscience.
If the following story is not true, it is, at | least, so well invented, as to pass for truth: ‘* On one occasion Her Majesty had invited distinguished guests to dine at Windsor Castle. It was therefore necessary that the ' Court Band should prepare itself to perform special selections of music. The pieces chosen were difficult, the time of practice limited, and the leader, declaring that he could not afford to lose a day, suramoned the men to meet for rehearsal on the Sun- day. There were two Germans in the band, named Schradar and Gehrmann, who are Wesleyan Methodists, and whose con- sciences would not allow them to spend the Lord’s day in a musical rehearsal. They told their scruples to the leader, who, how- ever, peremptorily ordered them to be pres- ent on pain of instant dismissal from the band. They did not hesitate a moment.
On the Monday morning, on presenting themselves at their quarters, the leader, in violent language, ordered them to be gone.
The poor fellows walked sadly away, and not far from Windsor met the Bishop of London driving to the Castle.
Stopping the carriage on their signal, he heard their tale, and promised to speak for them to the Queen. Before the day was over the leader of the band was summoned into Her Majesty’s presence. The Queen inquired what had beeome of the two Ger- man Methodists, one of whom, as being one of the best trombone players in the country, was a favorite at Court. The leader ex- plained that he could not allow ‘absurd re- ligious scruples’ to stand in the way of a soldier's duty. The Queen at once gave commands that the men be immediately re- stored to their posts, and added, ‘‘I will have no more persecution in my service for ‘conscience sake,’ and I will have no more rehearsals on Sunday.”

The Quebec Outrage.
The Halifax Herald has the following upon the action of the Grit Party with reference to the constitutional outrage re- cently perpetrated in Quebec :—
If we believed that the present governing party of Canada were any other than an ‘“‘or- ganized hypocrisy,” we would be surprised at their ratification of the corduct of Governor Letellier De St. Just. It is only because we know that in the matter of ‘‘ Liberalism” they were as hypocritical as they were in every other pretension and profession, that the result of last night's vote excites no surprise in our mind. In fact, we are only surprised to find that Mr. Blake and some others preferred dodging the division to giving their vote squarely in favor of the man who has violated the constitution for to serve his party’s inter- ests. M. Letellier certainly deserves well of the party of which George Brown is the dic- tator and Joha Madiver is the chief prophet. The party that believes in ‘putting down bribery and corruption with lots of money,” should not certainly object to a man who pro- poses to advance **faberalism’ by a tyrannical use of the Sovereign Prerogative. The party that recently appomted a man Lieutenant Gov- ernor whose erimes they alleged ‘‘smelled to heaven,” and who, they declared, was a fit subject for the gallows, cannot be expected to have an over-sensitive conscience in reference to the crimes and falsehoods of M. “etellier.
Looking at it from a party point of view, we are pleased that the McKenzie party have thus endorsed the Governor of Quebec's action, It will silence them forever about their boasted liberalism, and will show the country, es- pecially Quebec, that Mr. McKenzie, and not M. Letellier, is the moving mind in the present coup @etat, It will at all events identify the Government party from-one end of Canada to the other with that outrage, and will serve as an cuthoritive statement to all time of what the Grit-liouge party consider constitutional government. We are alse assured that this debate and division will make the defeat of Mr. Joly’s Government doubly certain. Nota few people in Quebee Province, especially in Montreal, who were bitterly opposed to Mr McKeunzie’s Government, were still inclined te give Mr. Joly a trial inasmuch as the other party had already held power for eleven years, and a change might be considered productive ~ of good. ‘These people will, however, have their eyes opened by the debate that has just closed at Ottawa. They will see that Mr. Joly is not fighting his own battle so much as that of Mr. McKenzie and that to support Mr. Joly, or even refrain from opposing him, is to play into Mr. McKenzie’s hand. 1¢ is not at all improbable that it was with the view of bringing these facts fully before public atten- tion that Sir John brought the matter before Parliament. If such were his intentions, the Grit party have certainly allowed themselves to be entrapped into serving his purposes ef- fectively. ‘They have allowed themselves to be drawn into a defence of conduct that is wholly indefenceable, and of voting down a resolution, which the future historian, no mat- ter what his politics, will unhesitatingly en- dorse.

Lieut. Colonel Stevenson, an officer at Malia, recently administered to Hon. D, Manson, Equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh, a sound horsewhipping. The cause of the ‘eastigation was an insult offered to Mrs, | Stevenson, wife of the Lieut. Colonel, by the Equerry. A court martial was called to investigate the case and notwithstand- ing all the influence of the Duchess of Edin- jburgh being bronght to bear against the _defendant, Colonel Stevenson was trium- phantly acquitted of any conduct unworthy _an officer and a gentleman. ~ : senna —_> .- <ae -* o. |
