n question about which there is still some slight
degree OF uncertainty, Notwithstanding the reec
ton OF the Conference proposals by Turkey; bu
those who believe most firmly in the certainty O
war are scarcely rash enough to predict its advent
before the Balkan passes shall be clear Of snow.
But as the generals cannot have work to do before
spring, other than the work Of preparation, the
diplomatsts are apparently to be kept busy fol
some time longer, and the air Is again filed with
rumors Of fresh negotiations
RUSSIA WORKING FOR EUROPEAN CONGRESS.
Russia is reported on good authority to be
quietly sounding the European Powers on the ad.
visibility or expediency Of convoking a European
congress for the settlement Of the Eastern strife.
No formal or definite proposition is made, but the
Russian dIplomatists SIMPLY feeling their way,
so as to be able to ascertain whether the idea would
be likely to meet the approval Of the great Powers
or not
THE CARS PEACEFUL INCLINATIONs.
The Gear is reported to be greatly disincned to
single. handed war with Turkey and would &C
cept Of any compromise that would enable him
to retire with honor from the negotiations.
whether this is one Of the many rumors circulated
by Russian agents with view to gain time or to
avoid shocking the moral sense Of Europe by too
precipitate declaration it is impossible to discover
just now but there can be but little DOUBT that the
apparently conciliatory and moderate attitude Of
Russia for some time past has largely Influenced
public opinion in Europe in her favor.
HOPES OF ENGLAND's CONSENT.
1t is even said that Russia hopes to obtain Eng
lands assent to the idea Of the European congress-
and II such proposition were actually made there
seems to be little doubt that England would receive
IL with favor. Englands interests certainly would
be best served by the preservation OF peace in the
East and her statesmen will make every reasonable
effort to prevent the outbreak of hostilities.
FIGHTING FOR TIME
Russian confidential circular containing q pro-
posal for the European congress is expected in
diplomatic circles soon, and whether the idea
should prove acceptable or not 1t would have the
eject of partially reopenng the negotiations. A
winter campaign in the Balkans would necessitate
a great amount Of useless suffering and expense,
and the Russian army will, In any case be much
better prepared to take the field In the spring.
