PARIS, Jan. 20, 1877.
Political rumors Of all sorts are on the wing
through Paris Since the Moslems nuug out their
defiance to Christian Europe most excited feeling
has prevailed. France to be sure, has no idea OF
taking up arms in the matter, but people OF such
belligerent instincts as the French can no more
look unmoved at the spectacle Of two other nations
going to than a Mexican could eat his breakfast
while cock fight was progressing in the vicinity.
1t Is agreed here that we shall have war on the
chuckling IN military circles and much shedding OF
crocodile tears in diplomatic circles over tho pros
pect Of slaughtered Moslems and Muscovites.
COMING TO BLOWS
received piece OF information this afternoon
which Is startling enough in all conscience and, al
though my authority is usually most reliable,
must offer it under reserve and with grain OF
salt. 1t Is to no less effect than that there was
a regular row at the last sitting Of the Con-
ference.
ROW IN FULL CONFERENCE.
The story runs that M. Bourgong, the French
Envoy. had stand-up fight with Edhcim Pacha. NJ.
Bourgoing taking deep offence at the language of
the Turk, is alleged to have far forgotten the dig
nifty Of the situation as to grappe with Edheinl.
The Pacha thereupon drew his scimitar. This
naturally created the greatest CONSERVATION
among the diplomats until NJ. le Comte de Chan
dordy rushed forward and pulled back his colleague
by the coattails. The important inquiry was then
resumed, but 1t led to no result.
THE FAILURE OF THE CONFERENCE.
was told by an excited statesman this morning
that the Mohammedan Turks were not SO much to
blame for the failure Of the Conference as the
patriarchs OF the Turkish Christians and the rabbis
of the Turkish Jews; that they have been the most
rabid OF Russophobists, and have stultined every
effort which the diplomats have made. There is a
germ Of truth in this but it is not all the truth in
the matter.
SALISBURY AND DisRAELI
Among snug little circle OF friends couple OF
cusson. 1t was the opinion Of one sardonic old
gentleman that Lord Beacon sfeld had foreseen the
failure OF the Conference, and that in sending the
Marquis OF Salisbury to Constantnoplc he laid
trap for the latter and really helped him to destroy
his own reputation. Another ungallant old cync
professed to have news from Constantinop to the
effect that Lady Salisbury had helped to make her
husbands failure inevitable by putting airs and

treated with a strict etiquette. Any infractlon Of
this etiquette Is resented, and when Sutan's wife
and an Envoy Extraordinary s lady arc added to the
other complications we may think the outlook

rumor, given for what it Is worth, asserts that
after the failure OF the Conference Germany will
probably OFFER to mediate between Russia and
Turkey.
A GERMAN WARNING TO FRANCE.
The North German Gazette Of this evening. repro
ducing the alarmist Paris letter published in the
Reichsanzeiger this morning commenting on the
cagerness of the French press to attack Ger
many's Eastern policy adds:-"We hope, with
the Reichsanze'ger, that the agitations OF the
French press against the German government will
cease. II they do we shall gladly regard as mere
speculation the import Of corn from Hungary into
France, which by far exceeds her requirements
and shall not consider 1t AS preparation by the
French Commlssariat Department"
GAMBETTA.
NJ. Leon Gambetta, TO whom 1t has bee n said the
future belongs, is now spoken Of rs dopmed to
extend his horizon OF life but little more. The doc
tors have him In hand, and they say that he is
suffering from complication OF heart disease and
dropsy, and that he cannot live more than two
years longer. They mean In the flesh, for the
memory Of the fiery young republican dictator,
who snatchcd up the rens OF government as they
fell from the hands OF the weak, the faithless and
