TELEGRAPniC NEWS; : THE GREAT PEACE QUESTION. The Position of the Cabinet Sustained by the Newspapers Reported Dissensions in the Cabi netThe Solution of the Papal Crisis and its Relation to it. London, Dec 19. The Pall Mall Ga zette in a leading article says : "The cabinet has come to a wise resolution. If in these days, after reading the his tory of the last ten years, after mark ing the relations of the continental powers, after learning the lesson which the condition of Europe at this mo ment plainly teaches; if after this any man thinks a rich empire can exist without ever asserting a disposition to fight for its possessions and existence, twat man must be a fool. If without thinking so he maintains his point, then he must be some kind of a traitor the sort of traitor, perhaps, who de clares himself a humanitarian or a churchman first, and an Englishman afterwards." The Post says : "The sumirjonin of Parliament probably means no more than a warning to other powers that England does not propose to al low the eastern question to be settled by the three Emperors and that she must have some voice in the disposal of her own future." The Daily News says it cannot help fearing Beaconsfield has summoned Parliament rather to obtain indemnity for something actually done than to consult it as to a future policy. London, Dec 19. The Financier this morning says: "All sorts of statements of more or less improbable character, were in circulation on the Stock Ex change. Tuesday. According to one there are dissensions in the cabinet. Another affirms that the Marquis of Saulsbury, secretary of state for India, and Earl Carnovan, secretary of state for the colonial department, are to quit, and other says Lord Beaconsfield, thus rid vf a clog upon his policy, will send troops to Galipoli. It is further reported that the Queen has forwarded tothe ministers a written memorandum or state paper setting forth her views upon the eastern question, and anoth er report rays that our cabinet has sounded Berlin with regard to the tenta tive move of Turkey in the direction of an arrangement, and met an unfavor able answer, and one might go on with an enumeration of idle reports and discussions which are. exercising men's minds, the multiplicity of which at tests the universal interest felt in the questions at issue, and the general be lief that another crisis in the war is reached. All that can be truly said is that an uneasy fueling prevails." The Daily Telegraph's Berlin dispatch says: 'The impression prevalent in diplomatic circlts here is that the Ger man government is desirous of a ter mination of the war, that it will ad here fully and freely to whatever con ditions Russia may resolve to exact, and that it has resolved neither itself to advance any obstacle nor so far as it can help, to permit any other power to binder the extinction of Turkey as a European power." A Berlin dispatch to the Standard says : "The anxiously expected solution of the Papal crisis seems again at a stand-still. Since yesterday it has be come certain that Prince Bismarck will not return to Berlin this year. Sidoce, under-eecretary of state fo recclesiastical affairs, declines to be come the successor of Dr Herrimann, President of the superior council of the Evangelical Church, and consequently Dr Falk, minister of Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs, has refused to countersign the decree accepting Dr Herrimann's resignation. To-night it is rumored that Count Nisselrode, chamberlain to the Empress and one of Prince Bismarck's most influential and implacable adversaries, had been removed from the court." The Post's Berlin dispatch says Prince Bismarck returns early in Janu ary. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. Gleanings from the Old and New World. Paeis, Dec 19 Eight prefectorial changes have been gazetted:.
