PITY THE POOR POSTMISTREssEs


LONDON, March Z, 1877.
1t seems to be very clearly established now that
General Ignatien-s mission will definitely settle the
question OF peace or war in Europe. AS conse.
quencc, the Russian statcsman's progress
toward London is watched with growing
concern. The storm will burst or the clouds will
be dispeled after the Russian envoy takes his
departure from the English capital Lord Salisbury
was under the impression few weeks ago that
he was war-maker for Europe; but now 1t seems
that General Ignatie holds much the same position
toward the nations Of Europe that Judge Bradley
lately held toward the States Of America. WaE
will unmake and make kings, princes and dukes as
that General Ignaticn holds the power Of war OF
peace in his hands cannot longer DC doubted.
GAN OPINION AS Is AN oPINIoN.n
AS consequence the English papers are trying
to initiate that feature OF American journalism
which they especially condemn; they are
attempting to "ntcrvcw" lgnaticfr As
Is generally tho case where the executor
OF commission has little heart in his
work. tho correspondent for London daily fails
to have talk with the Russian ambassador. Instead
OF tho master he catches tho vaet-uo, believe, to
be accurate that the Generals private
secretary. This gentleman yesterday declared 10
Berlin to q Standard correspondent that Russa
would neither dsarn nor agree 10 peace unless tho
Porto grants the reforms which demanded and the
necessary guarantees. Although tho popular exotic
tact thN nrnN inf
and the people take II Tor granted that something
must be Russians recognize moro and moro the
advantage Russia derives from the triple alliance Tho
relations between Berlin, Vienna and St. Petersburg
on the best footing
GENERAL IGyArlEFv's MISSION
Apropos OF tho fact that General Ignate dincd with
Prince Dsmarck last night the National Gazette, Of
Ber,tn publishes what It claims Is Authentic
communication, derived from an intimate friend Of
General Ignatcn in the course Of which II 10 said
,ha. the prevalent opinion In ST. Petersburg is that
Turkey, despairing OF obtaining alliance against
Russia, will to the concessions which arc do
handed Russia will, II possible, avoid war;
but II Il Is unavoidable, will prosecute s
with tho Utmost energy, AID hopes that
tho other Powers will observe . friendly neutrality
bly, never be known He left Berlin eight O'Clock
last night en- route for Paris. The Pail Mall
Gazette comments unfavorably on General IgnatieG's
mission II thinks England cannot consent 10
arrangement which would simply Gx the time for
general scrmmagc Turkish territory unless
Europe agreed give Russis her own way there when
the time came
RrsslA's UNCERTAIN POLICY.
An imperial order, dated March g. has been published
In ST. PETERSBURG directing the formation Of corps Of
sreuaders and e,sh, army corps from tho divisions
which have been detached from the military districts
OF ST Petersburg, wilma, arsaw and Moscow The
organizations Of these corps should not II Is claimed
DO interpreted as war measure, but merely ap
pcalon OF the law for the reorganization OF the Rus
sian army. A ST Petersburg telegram denies tho rc-
cent rumors that Russia is eudeavoring to conclude
separate arrangement With tho Porto by the ocer Of
pccun!ary assistance
WHERE rs rTRGosp
Two very conflicting statements regarding Rouma-
MAS dispute with Turkey reach London from
Rustchuk and Bucharest, respectively. The 6sst
reports that tho Governor OF the vilayct,
of the Danube iclegraphs on,ciay that tho
mixed commission has ascerta!ned that the last ARRAY
between the Turks and Roumanans actually occurred
on the island Of Prgos. belonging to Turkey not on
tho Roumanian island OF Gouracamu, as was at nrst
claimed. A violation Of Ottoman territory by tho
Roumanian troops Is thus clearly established.
The Roumanian members OF the commission
refused upon various pretexts, 10 sign tho
protocol certifying this fact The second report s

island as her territory by position and treaty stipua
