The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says: The information thai the negotiations
now proceeding turn on the signing of an
international protocol is now confirmed
from SO many sources that it can no longer
be doubted.
The Porte Is to pledge itself in protocol,
countersigned by the powers, that it will
carry ont the reforms agreed upon by the
powers In the preliminary conference. This
may be taken a. the essence of the Russian
proposals. Russia does not seem 70 have
abandoned the hope Of finding form for
this international document which will
overcome the British objections. Count
SchouvalOtfs return to London indicates
that it is thought some such form has
been found. The correspondent alleges
he has information that Russia is ready to
make great concessions Is regards the form,
provided the real essence of the proposal is
accepted. Not only does there seem to be
no intention to insist upon an agreement
about eventual measures of coercion, but
everything is to be avoided beyond the
present assent to the signatures, by the
powers, Of the protocol, which might entail
obligation for the future. In this way, it is
thought, the assent Of England msy be as
sured.
The Pal Man Garette, in leading arti-
Gle, says: We don't believe the signature of
the projected protocol will give any securi-
" Of peace. Already, II reports from
Bosnia are true, forces are at work there
to prepare another series Of oufrages,
which might precipitate the very wal

Dread has been expressed that If Russia
Is allowed TO commence war with Turkey
Il may afford Germany an opportunity Of
making an attack upon France, which, it IL
commonly supposed, she was restrained
from making.

KinnIx Tale.

There is curious story told of the man.
ner in which Frederick the Great could
deal, where other men had failed, with q
prima donna of the period who was in
olined to set too little store by the public.
This great artistic seemed to catch q cold,
which had the effect of rendering her
hOarse, and consequently unable to sing,
whenever anybody or thing had displeased
her.
One day q certain opera was to be per-
formed at Berlin before the King himself.
At the appointed hour the manager came
forward and said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, we grieve to in
form You that our prima donna has a sore
throat, and that the representation an
nOuneed can not, therefore, take place."
The stOlid TeutOnic audience seemed no
whit surprised, and was moving out tran
gully, when the King rose and commanded
the musicians to keep their places. The
audience sat down again and waited pa
tiently on events.
In less than quarter of an hour the
manager reappeared and spoke as follows:
FLadies and gentlemen, l have the most
unfeigned pleasure in informing you that
our prima donna lie completely cured of her
sore throat and will have the honor to sing
before You tonight" Surely enough the
famous singer soon appeared, and never
had she sung better. Her triumph was
The Kings prescription had been very
simple one. The prima donna, having dis
missed the unhappy manager, was sitting
comfortably before the fire in her own
room, and rather pleased at the idea of
having spoiled the pleasure of several
hundreds Of persons, when the door
was violently thrown open, and there
entered an officer, followed by four
dragons. Mademoiselle," quoth the Off
Ger, "the King, my master, has sent

officers, she was informed, never TESTED.
The lieutenant gave the order to his men,
who seized mademOiselle and carried her
out of the theatre.
A coach was in attendance; the lady was
deposited therein; the officer took his place
beside, after shouting his address to the
driver, The military hospital" and of they

By vote two-thirds Republican, the re-
naming one-third being Democratic, the

members Of Mr.. Hayes Cabinet. Last night

peared at the department with a petition
for the appointment as postmaster at Co
