A Russian Programme.

A programme of the war is under dis
cussion in high diplomatic circles In Wen
m that, if circumstances favor the Russian
arms, may give England some trouble. 1t
is said the army on the Danube will not
move until the Gar has achieved such sue
cesses in Armenia that the result of the
war in Asia Minor shall be accepted as a
foregone conclusion. He will then ad-
vance into Bulgaria, and, when his arms
have placed him in the position of holding
Turkey In Europe at his mercy, he will
address manifesto to the European Pow
ers offering to accept their cooperation in
shaping the terms of peace. But Russia
will dictate thus much of the conditions f:
Bulgaria. ceded by the Porte to Roumania,
to be erected into an independent State,
under the guarantees of the Eastern en-
pires of Europe, to hold the mouths of the
Danube, as Belgium was similarly consti-
tuted on the German Sea to hold the
mouths of the Rhine. The cession of Ser
via and Bosnia to Austria, and portion
of Armenia, to a new strategic line, as
line, as compensation to Russia for her
costs in the war.
How much more or less than this will be
asked depends on the natuIe and extent of
her victories and other attendant circum-
stances. Should England demur, fur
Their advance on Constantinople will be
made should the English fleet be ordered
to Stamboul, the Russian army in Asia
will occupy the Levant and threaten Syria.
If Russia goes thus far she will not be con-
tent with her former demands, but will re-
quire the extrusion of the Turk from Eu-
ropean possession between Austria and
Greece, and the erection OF Constantine
pie into a free city under the protection of
the Powers of Europe.
1t is said that this programme, if il has
not received the direct adhesion of the
German Chancellor, has not been objected
to, and is in conformity with the under
standing entered into between Russia and
Germany during the late war, when the
former Power remained neutral. 1t has
been drawn with the view of excluding
Great Britain practically from interfer-
ence; or if she desires TO interfere, then
to deprive her of allegiances. The ma
tons surrounding the Mediterranean have
never ceased to regard with jealousy the
control of that inland sea by stranger.
II England should seize the Isthmus oil
Suez she will, for all purposes. hold that
sea from Gibraltar to Alexandria as per-
fectly as she holds her own waters. The
Mediterranean and Red seas will be Brit
ish lakes, where Spain, France, Italy
Austria, Greece. Russia and the African
States may navigate on sufferance. VIII
these Powers accept such a subordinate
posiiionP History does not afford an ex-
ample of any war in which diplomacy
has played so large part and for so
important stake. The prestige OF Eng
land in the counsels of Europe is her
stake, and that means the fruits OF all her
wars from Malplaquet to Waterloc.-Nep

WHERE A Governor GOT MS WIVES.
claiborne f. jackson, native Of
Kentucky, was once Governor OF the
State OF Missouri. llc Joined the
Southern Coniederacy, and died during
his term at a farm house opposite the
city OF Little Rock, among strangers,
with no kind hand Of affection near to
soothe his pain and rob his deathbed
OF half It's anguish. The most remark
ablo fact connected with the history Of
his life is perhaps the statement that he
married five sisters in one of the most
respectable, wealthy, and distinguish.
cd families in the State that as soon
as one wife would die be would go and
marry her sister in reasonable time.
OF course some Of them were widows
when ho married them. In connec.
ton With the marriage there was o
standing joke told at the expense Of
the Governor which was that when
he went to ask the old gentleman's
consent 10 marry the last one, the ven

" Yes, Claib, you can have her. You
have got them all. For goodness sake
don't ask me for the old woman" -
