TRE EASTERN QUESTION.
Mobilization of the Russian Army.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 14.-The Gear has
ordered the mobilization Of part of the Rus
sian army.
A circular of Gortschakoff to the Russian
representatives abroad explaining this measure,
saws the Gear does not wish war, and will avoid
it if possible. He is, however, determined that
the principles of justice which have been recog-
nized as necessary by the whole of Europe
shall be carried out in Turkey under eff1cacious
guarantees.
English Engineers in ConstantinopIe.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 14.-Several English
officers Of the Royal Engineers have arrived
here.
The third million in Turkish pounds of the
new paper currency is about to be issued.
The Feeling toward Russia.
BERLIN, Nov. 14.-Russia has given large
orders to Berlin houses for military exports.
Should Russia persist in her warIke policy,
there is reason TO believe that she will be per
fecty isolated. Germany is understood to be
pledged to an observant neutrality as agans.
Austria, with an engagement to watch the
Polish provinces, presumably to assist in re-
pressing any Polish rising
Gen. Tchernayef an Exile.

general here has informed Gen. Tchernaye If
that the Gar forbds his return to Russia. Gen.
rchernayef will go on leave of absence to
Ve0ua to morrow.
The Proposed Conference.
LONDON, Nov 14.-The Times correspondent
at Vienna thinks the meeting of the conference
is toleraby we'll assured. The Porte, although
putting forward objections, has intimated that
it would leave the decision to the British gov
ernment.
From The indications of the Russian demands
which Gen. Ignatietf has given, it appears that
Russia will require the appointment of
fnr inIc fI,a
ment of Christian officials whenever
practicable, reform of taxation of local police
&c also that the reforms should not be limited
to the provinces called Bulgarian, but extended
to all districts Inhabited by Bulgarians. If
these, as it appears possible, are all Russia's
demands, and if Russia shows moderation in
regard to the guarantees there will not be much
need for the Gar to take an independent
course.

reports that Admiral Herim Pasha has been
ordered to return to Constantinople and started

Gar and givs a special explanation of
| the meaning.
