WAR NEEDLESS.
Anarchy VIII soon Reign supreme Ii
Turkey,

LONDON, Feb. 16The Vienna corre-
spondent OF the Times says: It is the
opinion of persons at st. Petersburg,
who agree with the Czar, that war Is
needless, because the fall of Midhat
Pashd marks the commencement OF q
state of anarchy, which will eventually
compel Europe TO interfere.
1t Is said that Gen. Ignatie1f, who has
arrived at ST. Petersburg, and conferred
with the Car and Prince Gortschakoff,
supports this view.
The idea amongst the peace party
seems to be that the powers, In answer
ing the Russian circular, might enable
Russia to withdraw and await the result
of the Turkish efforts at reform, by
publicly recognizing sacrifices which
she has made on behalf Of the Eastern
Christians.
Russia's Position Untenas1e.
LONDON, Feb. 10. - Correspondents
speak of Russia 8 position as ,1ntenable.
She cannot wait much longer, but
must go backward or forward. The
general tone Of the dispatches and ed
ftorials are more pacific.

Tennie Clafin, who Is for Hayes, has
Just had vision, In which Tilden or
Haa es, she doesn't know which, but she
thinks Tilden, was dead. To repre-
sentative ofthe Inter- Ocean she has re-
lated what she saw: ''I was In the office
of one of your prominent business men
day or two ago, and he asked me who
was going to be counted In. Suddenly
I saw a coffin rise up before me, and I
said, don't talk to me OF counting in;'
1t will be coffin for one Of them in
stead of o connt. Great and sudden
news will soon be dashed over the wires
that will astonish the whole country,
and will seriously affect the entire ma
tion, and am strongly impressed that
what have seen portends death to one
Of the aspirants for presidential
honors.'
