18th gives the full text OF speech delivered
by the Czar, at Moscow, Just after the report Of
Lord Beaconsfelds speech favoring Turkey
had been received. He expressed his most
ardent desire, that the conference at Con-
stantinople might be successful, but said II
the necessary guarantees could not be given
for carrying out Russia's demands, he
should act Independently and vigorously.
He was convinced the whole OF Russia
would respond TO his summons should he
consider that Russian honor required it.

stock boards. Its tone was considered ex-
tremely warlike.

Throughout Europe on the 18th the East
ern question had assumed an exceedingly
grave aspect. The conduct OF Russia was
considered extremely aggressive and that of
Turkey vaclllating and calculated to menace
the peace Of Europe. The Sublime Porte

abroad that ii should insist, as condition
precedent to any negotiation, that the integ
rity OF the Ottoman Empire should be guar
antced by the comforting Powers. Berlin,
Vienna, Paris and London dispatches pre-
dicted the failure Of the Conference. Russia
was daily withdrawing her Consus from the
interior or Turkey.

Montreal, Canada, on the 18Th, and the Do
minion Government were gathering troops
secretly to meet the anticipated invasion.

Russian demands in the Forthcoming confer.
encc would be inadmissable, were vigorous
ly preparing for war. A large number of
torpedoes had been placed in the eastern
entrance OF the Bosphorus, and the forts
about Constantinople greatly strengthened.
A st. Petersburg dispatch of the 18th says
the Gear had ordered the formation Of six
army corps, and the whole had been placed

material had been purchased at Berlin.

Old world dispatches OF the 10th say that
Russia, Turkey and England were making
large preparations for the conflict, which
was deemed inevitable. The Polish contn-
gent Of the Russian army was being rigor-
ously filled, and would be removed from po-
land as soon as secured. The British militia
ry preparations were being vigorously pros
ecuted both at the arsenals and naval sta

that the coming conference would prove
failure SO far as the settlement of affairs be-
tween Turkey and her rcvolted provinces
were concerned
