That one was that the reverend gentleman

pastor, and his great responsibility 10 the

before the Presbytery. Mr.. Patterson said
with much emotion that he pleaded guilty
10 the charge. 1t then devolved upon the

LONDON, Oct 25.-rne steady advance In

the prevailing impression mere that war is
not imminent, aud that q peaceabIe solu-
tlon OF the eastern question IL not impossi-

able alarms may be succeeded by unreaSon-
able hopes, but IL is evident that we need
not dispair OF seeing the crisis pass aTay
without an outbreak OF hosiilities bet weea
Russia and Turkey.
Heretofore the Times has considered a
Russo Turkish war inevitable. Toe same
quarters. The recent excitement has had
the good effect OF demonstrating what would
oe the attitude OF the powers In case of an
aggres siVe war by Russia. Had a six weeks
armistice been accepted by the Porte IL is
not unlikely that Its termiuatIon would
nave witnessed the same hostile demon

IL seems proba BILE now that the question may
be settled peaoeably.

graphic agency says the departure of Lord

ted as further proof that Russia and Eng
land are erdeavoring TO arrive at q sound
and lasting pacincation.
But This Leoks Like war.
P1 contrd:-A Reuter- dispatch from Blu
concentrated Rou umanian army has been
omcislly publishej, and that Prince Charles
assumes command. Though this looks
rather alarming, IL will probably be fol-
lowed BY the announcement that it only
refers to the usual disciplinary movements.
Meantime, lighting in the Limok and Mo-
rava valleys and on the Drlna has been re-
newed with great tstubbornness.
