THE EASTERN WAR.
War Not Deemed mminent.

LONDON, October 23.-The steady sd-
vance in Consols and other international
stocks, which fell during the last weeks
panic, indicates the prevailing impression
here that war is not imminent, and that
a peaceable solution OF the Eastern ques-
tion is not impossible.
The Times says there is, perhaps
danger that unreasonable alarms may
be succeeded by unreasonable hopes, but
it thinks we need not despair OF seeing
the crisis pass away without the outbreak
of hostilities between Russia and Turkey.
The same opinion is noticeable in other
quarters. The recent excitement has
had the effect of demonstrating what
would be the attitude of tho powers IN
case of an aggressive war by Russia.
LONDON, October pa special to the
official Russian telegraphic agency says
the departure of the British ambassador
at ST Petersburgh for LevidIs aud Gen.
Ignatietf for Constantinople should be
Interpreted as further proof that Prussia
and England are endeavoring to arrive
at a sound and lasting pacificstien.
A despatch from Bucharest reports
that the battle array of the concentrated
Roumania army has been officially pub
lished and that Prince Charles assumes
command. This may refer only to the
usual disciplinary movement.
Fighting Resumed.
The fighting in Tinok and Movsvis
and on the Drina has been renewed with
great stubborness. General Tchernayeti
teegraphs that the Turks were repulsed
along the whole line, while the news
paper correspondents are unanimous
that the Servian forces were badly de-
feated. losing 500 men in the attempt
on Saitschsr ard 5000 about Deligrad.
One correspondent telegraphs that the
Turks have taken all the positions
around De Junis and will probably take
De Junis, in which case Deligrsd,
Alexinatz, General Tchernayeffs new
headquarters at Kaionlk and the whole
Movavian valley will be in their hands.
Russian officers, of whom there are said to
be fourteen for each Seryisn battalion,
suffered heavily in the recent fighting.
Harmony Among the Powers.
A special from Vienna says that the
most perfect harmony reigns again
among the powers. Gormany's answer,
uttered with that almost cynical frank
ness which has more than once startled
diplomacy, may be credited with having
brought the new understanding about.
While she saw no objection to a six
months armistice, the only chance for
preserving a common understanding and
common action of the guaranteeing
powers was to declare with Russia IN ia
yer OF the equally Objectionable six
weeks armistice, because Russis's COM
initials might not leave her free to COM
promise while the other powers had per-
feet liberty of action. Even England,
which mad already accepted the six
months armlstice, decided to accept as a
basis Tor the restoration of the so.callod
harmony by offering no opposition to the
six weeks time, but having, at the same
time, disclaimed the lead which she had
hitherto held in negotiations with the
Porte, the initiative now devolves upon
Russia and General Ignatleff has return
ed to Brussels.
