DISTURBING RuMoRs.


LONDON, September There were a
number OF disturbing rumors from Ber-
lin yesterday, but they were not confirms
ed from any other source, and II Is be-
lieyed had q stock jobbing origin.
The opinion reported from Berlin to
the Standard that the outbreak Of the
Russian Turkish war was unvoida--
BILE is not entertained at other Capitals.
On the contrary there seems to be q
growing confidence that the general
peace OF Europe will be maintained how
ever difficult may be the settlement OF the
details between the Turks and insurgents.
The Portes refusal to grant an armistioe
Is also unconfrmed, but It is thought not
unlikely, and II is believed that the result
Of such refusal would be an immediate
resort to q formulation Of terms Of peace
between Servia and Montenegro and
Turkey, leaving the question Of insur-
rected provinces for a subsequent settle-
ment.
THE EASTERN QUESTION AMONG THE pow
ERS.'
A Times Vienna correspondent, dis.
cussing the negotiations between the
Powers, says that with those who have
been and still are in favor Of an armis-
tice, the idea Of conference for the reg
ulation Of all pending questions 10 gaining
ground more and more. The idea was
frat started BY France, and seems to find
support with Italy and Russia, the
latter, however, not wishing to take
the initiative in tile matter. Those
who are for taking in hand the
peace preliminaries simultaneously with
an armistice do not encourage the
idea, Of conference, which is likely to
delay instead OF expedite the settlement
OF the difficulty in making the programme
OF such a conference. The fixing Of that.
programme would, they think, take more
time than an agreement on the great
principles Of pacifcation, the details Of
which could easily be settled by the Am
bassadors at Constantinople in concert
with the Porte. In the face Of the many
difficulties which paciication may yet
present, reassuring thing is the unani-
nous wish OF all the Powers for peace
and sincere desire to avoid anything
which might lead to complications. As
a sign OF this, a communication made by
Prince Gortschakoff is making the round
Of diplomatic circles. 1t was made in u
way which would show it was meant to
become known, and is reported rs follows:
Russia wants as yet rest for number
OF years and then, besides, the Emperor
is decided to have peace. So am !, and
there is every ground to suppose the
other powers are equally desirous TO
have it, at least to Judge by their assur-
ances, we may reckon on their hearty co.
operation with us in this direction.
