The Impending War.

The wal cloud in the East, which at
first seemed no bigger than mans
hand, has developed into serious pro-
portions and threatens to burst on the
Sultan's devoted head to-day. The
movements of Russia are no longer en-
velOped in mystery. The Gar has taken
definite steps toward securing his pro-
fessed object-the better protection of
Christians i'll their rights while residing
i'll the Ottoman Empire. Yesterday the
coat of arms of Russia was removed
from the door of the Russian Embassy
at ConstantinOple, and the entire di-
plOmatic corps has left the city of
mosques. The Russian circular note,
which sets forth the Cars reasons for
declaring war, has been communicated
to the various powers, the Car and his
suite have gone to Kischenev, the Rus
sian military headquarters, and the
troops at present concentrated there
have been reviewed and addressed by
the Emperor in significant terms. I'm
less the other great powers interfere,
which is bot probable, Turkey will ere
many hours be the theatre of a bloody
war.-JOurRdl, gath.
THE WAR ACTUALLY BEGUN.
War has actually been declared by
Russia, and the advance guard of the
Russian army has crossed the Pruth
The ROumanians offered no resistance,
and their territory will become for the
time being the seat of war. Should
Turkey pour out the walls of her wrath
upon the head of Prince Charles of ROu-
mania, us she threatens to do, by let
ting loose $4,000 bashi bazouks, Ger
many will probably take Il hand in the
little game, and establish the Hohen-
zollein upon his throne. Lord Derby,
in the House of Lords last night, ex-
pressed the belief that England had
done her duty in the present emergency.
She had endeavOred to avert war, but
it was impossible. 1t is intimated, but
the rumor is scarcely probable, that at
this late hour an effort to avert war is
being made by Lord LOTUS, the British
Ambassador at st. Petersburg.

The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1877-12-05

The Sun OF last evening contained the
following:
We are requested by leading members
and officials OF the Red Ribbon Club to
say that the rules and regulations to
govern the club.rOOm, as published by
the Sl0. yesterday, and the BULLETIN on
last Sunday, were without authority:
that they were placed in the hands OF
the committee tor revision, and
ought not to have been published until
so ordered by the club; that they will be
revised and so modified before their final
adoption at the next meeting, as to give
complete satisfaction to all our people.
We are glad to hear this, and we take
pleasure in making this explation. In
our own defense, we desire to say that
having heard OF the adOp>
ton of the rules, we were
anxious to get them for publication on
Saturday, but could not. Our neighbOr
of the BULLETIN was more fortunate,
however, as he got them and published
them Sunday morning, and we copied
them yesterday, without any thought Of
doing the club wrong. Now will the
BULLETIN be frank enough to tell the
public where he got the "rules. &C." and
who gave him authority to publish them?
We will put this matter, so far as we
are concerned, to rest in very few
words. 1t is true that we did not ask
any Of the leading members or "of-
ticials OF the Red Ribbon club for au-
thority to publish the proceedings
OF the meeting at which the
rules about which so much has been
made were adopted. The meeting was
public, and we did not deem it necessary
to ask the privilege of publishing the
proceedings. And further, the Heading
members" or the "oflicials" who assert
that the rules "were placed in
the hands of the committee
for revision, ~ assert that which the facts
in the case disprove. Without saying
more we here copy a portion OF the re-
cord OF the proceedings of the last meet
ing, and to it we invite the especial ats
tention OF the "leading members" and
Officials who have taken the matter so
much to heart. The record says that
s. p. Wheeler submitted the following
rules and regulations for the govern
ment of the Reading Room, which were
on motion adopted. and the executive
committee were instructed to have copies
thereof printed and pasted in the hall
and Reading Room, viz:
Here follow the rules as published in
the BULLETIN on Sunday morning. We
hope this explanation will be satisfactory
to the !Sm as well as to the "leading
