rations for war. Preserving this dearest custom
sf their native land, the American residents in Ber
lin, Frankfort, Paris and London will, am in
formed by telegraph, dine to-day or the Thanks
giving turkey. Therefore. 1t is to me matter or
exceeding regret that for one morning-this one
especialy-the other Turkey cannot be sheved.
Such course, however, is impossible. Turkey,
with whose bonds half the nations in the West
are gorgcd as fearful nightmare now rides our
consciences and destroys our quiet. Even as the
the breasts OF hafo young America tonight, wrthes
all Europe under the incubus Of the Eastern ques
tion Therefore, cannot talk OF peace, though the
day be sacred to all your readers.
NJ. THEIRS on THE CONFERENCE.
The opinion Of ex-Prcsident Thiers upon the East
crn Conference has been for several days anxiously
sought 1t was known that he had expressed his
views clearly, and that they did not prcsage peace.
Last night the HERALD's Paris correspondent
tecgraphed that he had obtained the
statesman and intimate friend OF the ex-President
OF France. NJ Thiers said that, in his opinion, the
Conference will result In war between Russia and
Turkey. No understanding insuring peace will be
Turks, he thinks, will fight than yield the in
dependence Of Bulgaria Therefore, in his opinion,
the prospects of peace are delusive.
RUSSIA TALKS rrGHT
The following semiohcial statement is published in
st. Petersburg g:-"Thc Marquis OF salsburys
vcrsations with Count Andrassy and Prince Bismarck
will probably have convinced him that the intimate
relations between the three imperial courts remain
unchanged, and that Russia has been hitherto re-
strained from taking extreme measures by the
sideration which is duo the Emperors OF Germany
aud Austria. Russia will not put forward tho
occupation OF Bulgaria her principal demand at the
Conference, but her representative will positively
declare theproccted Turkish constitution cannot
be discussed; that autonomy for the provinces must
be guaranteed, and that occupation appears to be tho
best means OF rendering such guarantee ehcacious.
Should the other Powers bo Willing to participate in
occupation, Russia would even now prefer such solu-
hon; but Russia in order to attain tho objects
sanctioned by the Berlin mo9orandum, VIII undertake
occupation singlehanded" Tho foregoing forms tho
general basis Of the Russian demands II Turkey, as
Is reported should reject every proposal Of autonomy
tho Porto should merely attend the Conference to
protest against every point offered for discussion Tho
statement concludes by affirming that Russia is deter
mined to maintain her position against all protests
evasions that tho Porte may offer.
now STRONG WILL RUSSIA PRovEs
The correspondents OF the various London journals
arc doing their utmost TO convince their readers that
Russia cannot mako much of light After elab-
placing in the field. the Times' Berlin correspondent
says:-"Russia may defeat Turkey, but has no
chance OF crushing her by overwhelming strength
Amer allowing for the forcc which will be
necessary TO defend tho Black Sea coast and
for the fact that the Turks have sufficient
force to hold servia and Roumania in check and that
any assistance Greece might offer could be neutrazed
by the Turkish nect 1t appears tho brunt Of war in
Europe must borno by 900 Russians, to confront
whom the Turks have at least equal force protected

SEEKING WITH UNCLE SAN.
An unau,henticatcd rumor recently appeared in
pome OF tho Continental newspapers that the Russian
Mediterranean squadron had been ordered TO America
The ST. Petersburg correspondent OF tho Times In
letter TO that journal under date Of November %,
says:-.on Monday, November 20, Mr. Bokcr the
American Minister Russia, was suddenly informed
that the Car desired TO sec HIM at TzarskoseIo.
As 1t is unusual for dplomatists below
the rank OF ambassador to be admitted to
was circulated what passed between the Gar and
the American Minister. Although the truth has not
officially transpircd believe the Czar's object was
simply TO beg Mr. Bokcr communicate to President
Grant the fact Of the departure Of the Russian Medi
tcrrancau squadron for America There is no doubt
that the squadron has sailed and although the posi-
ton OF commander OF naval force ordered to seek
refuge in foreign ports the eve OF war cannot be
enviabe. II is dIfcult what else Russia could
do as tho Turkish navy alono wsuld bc sufficient
10 dispose Of any ships which Russia could bring into
action.v
TWO INTERFERING FACTS.
The Marquis OF Salisbury has arrived at Romc, ana
yesterday had conference with sisnor Meegar, the
Italian Minister OF Foreign Affairs. The departure OF
,hc Grand Duke Nicholas for tho headquarters Of the
Army Of Southern Russia has again been postponed
nh Friday next II is thought in certain club circles
here that one OF these individuals ought to hasten his
departure Tor the sccno Of mis- operations.
