The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-10-25
NIGHT REPORT.
FOREIGN

Berlin, Oct. PA financial crash of
the most serious character is threaten
ed in Russia. The public besiege bank
ing officers to sell Russian Government
and company stock, but as a rule the
offers are declined. On the 18th and
10th insts., nothing was saleable at any
price, and worse will happen should
Gen. Ignatieff's mission take a warlike
character. The crisis is worse in the
southwestern provinces, contiguous to
the possible seat of war. A. conference
of bank directors few days ago at the
Office of the Governor of the National
bank decided that they could do some
thing to stay the crisis. Accordingly
fresh issues of inconvertible paper as
signates, already more plentiful than at
| the time of the Crimean war, are
expected.
Austria an the Same Boat.
The Times financial article says:
Only peace and a great revival of trade
can prevent finacial catastrophe in
Austria. Even with these, we doubt
if the hopes of Austria's finance minis
ter can be realized, viz: that by 1873 the
end of the period of the deficits will be
reached.
Excitement Among Turkey Cocks.
Vienna, ct.24.-Not only from Con-
stantinople but from the provinces of
European Turkey there is news of grow
ing excitement among the Mahomme-
dams, of conventicles held in the mos
ques, and of ornaments; the ministry
is divided against itself, and the Sultan
is too inexperienced to take the leader
ship. Thus the position is most favor
able for Russia's diplomatic action.
Gen. Ignatieff, Russian ambassador at
Constantinople, may carry everything
before him, or if he fails, may induce
such an outbreak of Mahommedan feel
ing as might justify almost any step on
the part of Russia.
The Bulgarian Ourages.
Thorapia, Oct. 24.-Baring, Secre-
tary of the British legation, is about to
return from Phillippolis, convinced that
the commission for the punishment of
the perpetrators of the Bulgarian afro
cities is delusion and a mockery. The
worst criminals are regarded as humane
and the moderate are in disgrace. The
old panic is renewed, and most trust
worthy gentleman has Travelled with
the utmost haste to Constantinople to
inform the british ambassador that the
Turks threaten new massacres, and
have even appointed day for begin
ming the slaughter.
Russia and the Armistice.
Constantinople, Oct. PAT is stated
that Russia has already indicated her
Willingness to agree to six weeks pro-
longation of the armistice. 1t is hoped
an agreement will be reached on the
basis of Turkeys acceptance of such
armistice.
The Outlook in Austria.
Pesth, Oct. 24.-There is intense ex-
citement here, and strong hostility to
Russia. If Russia begins war it will be
difficult for Austria to preserve neutral
ity.
A Cheering Outlook.
Vienna, Oct. 24.-Turkey has de-
clared her readiness to accept a six
weeks armistice provided it is recon-
mended by all the powers. 1t is reas-
suring to hear from Constantinople
hopes of more peaceful turn in affairs
which has considerably increased this
feeling. 1t is caused by the unexpect-
edly conciliatory >attitude of General
Ignatieff. There has not been any
trace of Russia's offering provocation
with the view of bringing about a col
lision. On the contrary such an inten-
ton has been decidedly disclaimed.
While affairs look better in Constanti-
nople, one can trace all around Turkey
the iron ring prepared by Russia, which
is closing and Tightening rapidly and
firmly.
A Turkish Victory.
Belgrade, Oct. 24.-The Turks took
Djunis on Monday, after determined
fight, which lasted ten hours. More
than half the entrenchments on the
bank of the river near Djunis also fell
into their hands.
