A dispatch expresses the fear that general war is impending, which fear is based on Russia's policy in constantly s'putting the screws' to Turkey. and de manding concessions which the other pow CTS will not allow to be granted. In the event of the Czar's abdication (which IS probable). the Russian throne will be oc- cupied by one who is vehemently in favor of the exnnction of the Turkish power in Europe.

BosToN, April The Springfield Repub-
icau of TO- day sc7s that 10 settling the affairs
Of Patrick Donahue, proprietor of the Bosi on
Pilot, the Catholic newspaper of this city, who
recently went into bankruptcy, facts Of most
disgrac fu character came 10 light. Ii seems
the. fer maDy years Mr. oahue has been 10
til" habit of receiving funds from persons who
wished to place them 10 safe hands. tie had
tho uoIimilcd confidence of the public, espe-
cialy OF the Irish Catholics, who counted him
one Of their best friends. During the past few
years he has been the recipient of thousands
Of dollars from this class of people. Many an
Irishman dyi#g has left his little property to
b. cared for by Mr. Donahue, and others lis
ing have laid by with him their scanty earnings.
MIR. Douahue as president of the Emlgrant
Savings B tuk, also suggested 10 ignorant de-
positors that he would receive their money
Just the same as the bark did and would in.
vest it for them and pay them seven per cent
interest. ln this way thousands of dollars were
taken, lie knowing all tie time that he was
bankrupt and could never repay it. In set
ting Mr.. Donahuc affairs 1t was found that
the trust tu:ds confled to his care and
money received on deposit, as just described,
have been put into his busine IS and lost.
The suffering which will follow this breach OF
solemn trust cannot fail to be very great. 1t
is matter of sumo doubt whether Do0ahue
has laid himself open TO prosecution on crlml-
nal charges, though it is thought by some that
be has.
