A special from Berlin to the Times has
the following: "By m order Of the
Russian Government all locomotives and
rolling stock purchased by the Russian
railways must henceforward be made in
Russia. This is another heavy blow to
German industry. To enable the rail-
roads toobtain locomotives and carriages
in Russia, the Government will allow
the materials to be imported duty free
and will pay premiums and subsidies to
Russian makers. The decree, which will
be promulgated in few days, seems at
present applicable to new companies
only, but is to be gradually extended to
existing companies as home manuiac,
turers develope their works and can sup

VIENNA, March 20.-The Political Cor
TeSpoadence publishes the following dis.
patch, which requires confirmation:
ST. PETERsBURGH, March %.
In consequence OF all earnest request
from Russia for decisive answer on the
protocol question, the English Minis
ters after yesterdays council, expressed
their willingness to sign the protocol as
drafted by Russia, leaving aside the Ques.
ton Of Rehabilitation.

Russian organ, declares that the propo.
sition for a simultaneous disarmament OF
Ruesia and Turkey is quite as inadmis.
sable as that for the preliminary disarm.
ament OF Russia, unless positive pledges
are given for the Portes submission TO
the decisions OF Europe. The lie Norcl
believes this to be scarcely possible at n
moment when the Porte refuses. to make
peace with Montenegro and fresh out
RACES are perpetrated by Turkey.
CoEsTANTTNoPLE, March 20.-In the
Chamber OF Deputies to-day, several
speakers opposed the cession Of territory
10 Montenegro. A sentence was inserted
in the address TO the Sultan expressing
confidence that in this matter the gov.
ernment will act conformably with
the interests Of the Empire. An
other paragraph OF the address approves
the rejection Of the proposals Of The con.
ference. The address was almost unani.
mously adopted.
LONDON, March GA special from St.
PeterSburg'says on Monday Lord LOTUS,
the British Ambassador, had a stormy in.
terview with Prince GortschakoiT. The
latter used very energetic language sela.
tive to England's refusal to make any ad.
yances towards a peaceable solution.
This interview, it was thought, would
destroy the hopes Of peace. However by
Wednesday morning other counsels seem
to have prevailed, for a telegram was
then sent to Count SchoveloG, in which
Russia made another step towards con.
cession. The telegram authorizes Schove.
loft to embody Russia's promise to dis.
arm in a memorandum, which may be
read in Parliament.
