LICENSING STREET CARS.

Several of the daily journals have recently
published articles touching the licensing OF street cars
some OF them asserting that neither Of the city railroads
paid anything for the privilege OF using the streets, and
that the proper authorities Ignored the complaints made

from the Mayors Office The sixthave Railroad Com

MILITARY PREPARATIONS.


According to the correspondent of the IRde,
pendanee Beige military Preparations are being urged
tonal Guard Mobile is heng formed with wonderful
haste "This" it adds is not the only indication OF
the anxiety of the government to be prepared for any
contingency The provisioning Of the arsenas and the
army clothing stores is vigorously going on The detci
ences which left behind by the administration OF
Marshal Random will soon be supplied NO do1o. 1O
the object is to secure peace Gy preparing Jyr
it did not have the force before sadowa as
after that battle. II arsenals and magazines were
principally carry the in Mexico without being
obliged TO impose fresh burdens the taxpayers The
security complete that few months before tne
in Germany Marshal Random received orders TO DO
away with even the cadres of the oataons and squad
which dissolved from motives OF economy Ihe
present department has repaired all this and is
taking such vigorous and active steps that people begin
TO think they are not prompted by something that may
happen in the remote future"
The Memorial DiponaSs SAYS "Advices from vi
emma deny in the most formal the statement Ihat
the Austrian Government had solicited the good offices
Of France TO induce the Pope to consent to revision OF
the Concorda The objections raised by the Holy See re-
fer essentially 10 dOctrina principles and all the efforts
OF France would be poweress to regulate the legOus
questions involved"
THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY.
The EpOQe asserts that the insurgent bands In ROu-
mania daily increasing The Pdte contains the FOL
lowing paragraph, which clashes TO certain extent with
the extremely peaceabe tenor Of the news which had
prevailed for the few days previously:
comes S s o@ TSgT Jbraa All n said that Russian troops
concentrated at Kongas, Roppeck Tabaka Vnolka,
TOuriana. and kernatka villages near the Bessaraban
and Modavan frontier. These movements OF troops, the
motive for which is unknown, have the great incOnve
nience Of giving apparent confirmation to the stories
told by the committees who seek TO stir up the apathetc
populations of Bulgaria by assuring them that soon as
they rise Russian troops viii come to help them. We
think the Russian government would be extremely wise
in avoiding everything which may afford an excuse for
such falsehood"
THE NEW LOAN.
