War A Certainty.

The Grand Council of the Turkish Em- pre has decided by an almost unanimous vote, to eject the proposals of the Christ ian powers and that the counter proposaIs of the Porte shall alone be discussed in fu- ture meetings of the Conference. This ends the diplomatic efforts to secure an ad- justment of the controversy. The plenipo. tentisries will at once leave Constantinoplt and the ministers of the powers represent ed in the conference, will also depart, al hut Russia leaving their affairs to be cared for by charges q affairs. The course ot Turkey is au affropt to all Europe, but 1, is very doubtful whether Russia will secure any active assistance in the task she has undertaken, indeed it is suspected that Aus tria is hostile in her designs. and that she has been secretly encouraging the Porte to stand out against the proposals to which she publicly lent her name. With the news that war is ineyitable. comes the announce ment that Austria has just completed e loan of 10000. 900 thalers, authorized by th. Reicharsth. The Hungarian influence is
 
 still against Russia and will be very likel> to control the course of Austro. H hungary. It Is possible that the severe weather along the Danube may prevent the instan, opening of active military operations, and yet The supreme importance of securing certain strong strategic positions will iupel ootn parties to move at the earliest possibl. moment, and collision may occur at no distant day. The fighting will be on Turk 'sh soil. and will in all proabllity be sharp and bloody.
