TURKEY AND SERNlA.
A Vienna correspondent of the Times
says that as the status quo ante bellum has
been accepted by both Turkey and Ser
via as basis, the way for an under
standing has been found Servia, how
ever, desires to carry two points; on the
first concerning the remission of arrears
of tribute, there will probably be little
difficulty, although the news that Tur-
key has already conceded it is possibly
premature, as pourporlers only have been
carried on as yet. The main negotiations
will take place at Constanlinople.
The second point insisted on by Ser
via is that the river Drina shall form
the frontier of Servia. This would i'm
ply the cession of Zwornik and the
islands in the Drina, and would cause
such Indignation throughout Turkey
that even Midhat Pasha's influence
could not easily overcome it. The ut
most that can be expected is the assent
of Turkey to mixed commission for
the rectifcation of the frontier.
Another difficulty is the Turkish de-
mand for guarantees. Before these
guarantees are precisely specified the
commencement of real negotiations il
impossible.
! Servia has demanded statement of
the guarantees required, but has not yet
received an answer. The Russian Tel
egraphic Agency says it is feared the
guarantees may prove a stumbling
block, and declares that Russia has not
and could not send any note to the Pow
ers before the delegates have reported to
their respective Cabinets.
Servia and Montenegro are entertain.
ing Turkish overtures by the advice oi
all the great Powers.
The Grand Duke Nicholas is much
better.
PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF THE
TURKISH PROPOSALS.
J A Belgrade dispatch to the Times re
ports that Prince Milan on Monday re-
ceived telegram from Midhat Pashs
: proposing some notifications of tn,
Turkish proposals to which Servia hae
, objected, and suggesting that all future
= negotiations relative to details of ar
rangement be carried on IN Constantine
pie.
Russian influence appears to be per
fectly quiescent. 1t is quite possible
: that Russia may make no opposition te
Servia's concluding peace, with tn,
intention of declaring, in the event of
War, that Servia is virtually Turkisl
territory, and invading Servia through
the Timok and Morava Valleys, ant
pushing on to Sophia. In such case al
the Servians who are worth havinI
! could join the Russian ranks withou
? the Servian Government committing it
Q self in favor of either belligerent.

CONSUMPTIONS TAKE NOTICE!

Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the iudicious choice of remedy
The amount of testimony in favor Of
DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that
can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DR..
Schenck's Almanac, containing the GER
ti6cates of many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced incura :
BILE by physicians of acknowledged abil-
ity. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone
has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by
the employment of two other remedies
which DR.. Schenck provides for the
purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills By the timely use OF
these medicines, according to directions
DR.. Schenck certiies that most any case
Of consumption may be cured.
DIR. schenck is professionally at his
principal office, corner Sixth and Arch

RUSSIA WANTS AN EXCUSE "FoR NOT

LONDON, January 30-The St. Pc
tersburg correspondent of the Times, in
letter dated January 27, says: The
Cars Moscow speech certainly remains
unqualified by any later declaration, but
at the same time it is evident, Judging
by the tone of society at ST. Petersburg
and Moscow, as we'll as by public opin.
ion in general, that this famous speech
although not officially retracted, is.yir
tually withdrawn. The argument ad
duced by members Of Russian society in
justification of this course is, that Eu
rope, having interfered, and the Confer
ence having failed, Russia, notwith
standing what the Emperor said at Mos
COW, is relieved from all individual re-
sponsibility with regard to the prepara
tion of the army in Bessarabia. The
mobilization has failed, and the army il

Having lived in this country during the

opinion, / unhesitatingly declare my
convictions that the Emperor desires te

result of an honest desire to create 4
