THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Stipulation Concerning Russia's Dis


Stipulation Concerning Russia's Dis
armament.
LONDON March 2O.-A Paris correspondent
of the Times says it is asserted that stlpula-
ton relating to Russia's disarming. which could
not appear in the protocol, is embodied in the
special despatch addressed by the Russian gov.
eminent to Count Schuvaloff, who is empower
The protocol will be signed in London by the
various ambassadors. There is yet no agree
ment about the mode of communicating it to
the Porte. 1t is thought however, that the
communication will be collective, and that i'm
mediately atterward the Gar will issue proc
lamation to the ua ion and army, announcing
his grounds for Rehabilitation.
The Daily Telegraph's editorial summing up
the situation, confirms the report that Gorts-
chakoff's changes in the wording of the prOto-
col are uot serious. At the same time, the ne
gofations for Russian rehabilitation, on the
success of which depends Engiand's adhesion,
to the protocol, are still in progress, and have
not reached practical issue.
Russia DESTROYS OF Peace.
LONDON, March 20.--The Times says it pre-
fers to believe that Russia sincerely desires
peace. 1t is toward Turkey that apprehenslons
may be directed by those who think the pros
pect will again be clouded. Never within the
memory of man has there been such enduring
excitement in the Ottoman capital.
Still Fears of War.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that military
preparations continue, and it thinks war not
improbable.
A Deadlock between Servia and Turkey
LONDON, March 20.-A Times despatch from
Belgrade says deadlock is in the way of the
final consummation of treaty of peace betweeo
Servia and Turkey The Servian government
declines to receive tue imperial flrman until the
Turks, who still hold the islands in the Drina,
and several vlleges, have evacuated them.
The Servians moreover, insist that the frman
shall be presented as privately as possible,
while the Turkish envoy demaods that the
presentation shall be pubic and ceremonious.
1t is probable that the differences will be
arranged.
A Wheel Within q Wheel.
LONDON, March 21.-The Standards special
from ST. Petersburg says the general opinion
there is, that the signing of the protocol by
England will not better the situation as Russia
cannot demobolze until Turkey disarms. Tur-
key cannot disarm until the conclusion of peace
with Montenegro, of which there is not very
much hope now felt

grin troops are concentrating on the frontier,

and ftaken before the lungs destroyed, speedy

To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck,
Philadelphia owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expeetora
tion for when the phlegm or matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it of, tine patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Sehencks Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used 10 cleanse the stomach and liver.
Scienck's Mandrake Pills act ON the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkal of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Sehenek. either per-
sonally or by letter, do bis principal Office,
corner Of SIXTH and ARCH SIS, Philadelphia,
