VIENNA, March 26.-The correspon-
dent of the Times reports the situation
as follows: ''Russia has never yet
said anything officially which would
make it appear that she considers the
conditions attached to disarmament are
to be taken as final, so there is always
a chance of inducing her to listen to
some compromise. Notwithstanding
alarming statements current in Vienna,
it will be safely asserted that Eng
land hiss insisted neither on intro
duclng q disarmament clause in
to the protocol, nor in submitting
the protocol to Turkey. All Eug-
land demanded was that Russia
should engage in some form or other
to disarm after signing this paper.
Russia retorted that she could not en-
ter into such an engagement until
peace was concluded with Montenegro
and Turkey, and they likewise would
consent to disarm. The object of con-
tinuing the negotiation is to secure
these primary results, Russia's desire
for peace being regarded as sincere.
An agreement is more probable than
a rupture"
LONDON, March 26.-Negotiations
between the Porte and Montenegro are
interrupted.
A dispatch from Rome to the daily
NeaCs says that the condition of the
pope's health is serious, IN despite of
optimist bulletins. Cardinals Simconi
and Valletta are already preparing for
the conclave.
A Rome correspondent to the Neaos
writes that the Pope, amid feverish
excitement and unremitting labor at
the Vatican, relative to the consistory,
has fallen ill again. 1t is certain that
after the secret consistory on the
twelfth instant, he tainted, and had to
quit reading the allocution. The faint
ing fits have required, and the Pope
has remained unconscious longer each
time. He does not like his illness TO
be perceived, and makes strong efforts
to hide it. These produce a painful
reaction. The moment he gets back
to his town apartments he sinks into
a chair, and remains with his eyes
closed, looking like corpse. The
recent excitement has told on him,
and indeed on several occasions
during the spring, which is al
ways a dangerous season for him,
his life has been almost despaired of.
His physicians regard the fatigue of
the receptions of the pilgrims with
great apprehension. Foreigners, who
see the Pope at intervals, notice great
charge in him. One of these visitors
recently said to me that the allocution
of March II would probably be the
last formal utterance. Meanwhile, the
P0pe's advisors are endeavoring by
every means to get France and Austria
to revive the Roman question. 1t is
hoped to induce Italy so far to reoog
nize the POpe's temporal powers as to
cede the LeoDine City to the Holy See,
where all religious orders expelled from
r ,me could find an asylum

return to South Carolina His wife, it

ago with the children, and several
Saratoga trunks. The Governor, how
ever, brings only the traditional car.
pet-bag, although the gossips suggest
that Mrs. Chamberlain has brought the
personal effects of the party in the
trunks. Hampton's friends say that if
any compromise is suggested by Cham
berlain to martyr himself for the Sen
atorship, that he will refuse to enter
tain any proposition looking to that
end.
If the conference between the rival
executive claimants does not result in
unconditional abdication of Chamber
lain, Hampton proposes to have him
elected under existing State laws, and
all he will ask is that the United
States allow the civil process of the
courts to be served upon him.
