INTERVENTION.
Russian diplomats say General Ignaticf has been in
structed to inform tho Sultan that Russia makes tho
English proposals hors with additional guarantees II
the Porto rejects them Intervention will be begun SIM
utaneously by Russia, Greece and Roumania-
General Ignatisn will have private audience with
The Sultan to-day. Berlin despatch says the Porto is
ready grant Russias latest demands, provided the
Integrity OF the Ottoman Empire ii guaranteed.
MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
The steady advance in consols and other interna-
tional stocks which fell during last weeks panic, In
dca.es the prevailing impression hcre that is
Imminent and that peaceablc solution Of the East
srn question Is not impossible There iS. per-
haps danger that unreasonable alarms may
be succeeded by unreasonable hopes,' tho
Times said in It's leading article yesterday,
,sbut Is evident that need not despair OF seeing
the crisis pass away without outbreak OF hostites
between Russia and Turkey" Heretofore the Times
aas considered 1 Russo Turkish Inevitable. The
nme change Of opinion noticeable in other quar-
,ers. The recent excitement has had the good effect
demonstrating wha. would be the attitude OF tho
Powers IN case OF aggressive by Russia. Had
Xix weeks armistice been accepted by the Porto
not unlikely that the termination would have Wit
messed the samS hostile denomination the part OF
Russia, with greater danger OF resulting In actual
hostilities II seems probable that the question
may be settled peaceabiy.
THE RESULTS or GKRxAxY's COURSE.
Perfect harmony seems to reign among tho Powers.
Germanys answer, uttered with that almost cy ncal
frankness which has moro than onco startled d.
plomacy may be credited with having brought the
new understanding about While saw no objection
to the six months armst,cc the only chance for pro-
serving . commra understanding and common action
in favor OF the equally unobjectionabc SIX wocks'
rmstice because Russia's committas might not
leave her free compromise while other Powers had
perfect liberty OF action. Even England, which had
already accepted the months armistce decided to
accept this basis for the restoration OF socaled har
mony by offering no opposition TO tho six weeks
truce but having at the time disclamed the lead
which she hitherto held in negotiations with the
Porte, tho initiative devovcs Russia, and Con-
eral Ignatien has returned to take it.
WHAT RUSSIA Ask
A special despatch from Vienna 10 lie Nord the or
gan in Brussels OF the Russian Embassy announces
shat General Ignatien, tho Czars Ambassador at Con-
stantinople will insist six weeks armistcc. He
n instructed explain Russa's motives tho Porte.
II Is believed that his representations will bc noder
atey couched, and not takc the form OF ultmaum,
and that other Powers will support Russ,as proposals
AUSTRIA AND THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
The Interpolation rcintivc 10 the Eastern question
which u proposed to introduce in the Rcichsrath

Judgment because Austra's policy Is still adhesion to
the tripc alliance.
