TIE CARS LETTER.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says the Cars letter to Emperor Francis
Joseph contains no positive proposal of
any action. 1t LAYS great stress on the
friendly relations between the Car and
Francis Joseph and on the necessity of
maintaining peace, and the desire is ex-
pressed to come to an understanding.
Within the last few days, however, CON-
municatons have passed to the great pow
ers which seem to indicate that the letter
was preliminary introduction to positive
proposals as reported last night.
COMMENTS ON TIE SITUATION.
The Berlin correspondent of the Times
comments upon the excited tone of the
Russlsn and Hungarian press. He says
1t is interesting to notice that the orga0s
of both the Prussian and Austrian govern
ments are enchanting threats Of war. The
Pesthermayd declares that Austria would
have allies in conflict at st. Petersburg
The Golos replies that Russia will not b.
stopped, even if she had no allies. The
tone of many leading organs of Germany
is strongly opposed to the supposed ambi-
tious designs of Russia. The Allgermine
will support Russias selfish designs. 1t
thinks Russia would recoil from q
war il Austria and Turkey accepted
her challenge. The Times correspondent
remarks that this opinion was very general
here some time ago, but recent events have
somewhat modified It. 1t is now thought
that Russia, after her repeated threats of
war might, if challenged, deem it incom-
patible with her honor to remain at peace.
RUSSIA FOR PEACE.
PARIS, Oct. 3.
The Temps publishes communication
from the Russian embassy in this city, in
which it is stated that the czar is still in
favor of peace. If Russia should eventu-
ally intervene, it would only be with the
entire agreement of thee powers, and that
Intervention in any case would be preceded
by conference.
sERvIA HER OWN ARBITRATOR.

Petersburg concerning the intelligence that
the Servian government had rejected the
peace proposals made by the powers to the

government will only yield to foreign mill
tary intervention, and will not entertain
peacs conditions unless they are first sub
mitted to Servia.
