II previous Conventions OF the Protestant

lated in the broad, tolerant, catholic temper
which has made this years Convention
memorable, Is an open question. That it has
taken root is sufficiently proved by the in

bodies as we'll. are looking forward to the
assembling Of the present Congress.
Probably this interest will reach high

going on around plcvna. Should the armies Of
the Car prove ~ lucky in Bulgaria as they
were lately in Asia Minor. we may soon hear of
peace negotiations. and an arristicc in tho
east Of Europe means general collapse Of
speculation in this country.
However strong may be the mutual hatred
between Russian and Turk. both are exhausted
and rdncd, and both want peace. II the Rus
slams capture Plcvna they can enter upon peace
negotiations without feeling any humiliation.
while the Turks will probably hrromc con-
WINGED that it would be hopeless to carry the
struggle ON any longer
In this way almost the whole future Of the
Eastern war depends upon the operations at
Plcyna an Rassrad and upon the efficiency of
the Russian Imperial Guards. These troops
are magnificent. and the general leadership has
been lately placed on n better footing by the
advent OF TOdlcbcn. SkObclon. GOurko. and

serious trouble with them is that they have to
