DUE TO BISMARCK.


LONDON, May pa Vienna corrPspon-
dent remarks that but for Prince Bismarck
the Congress might at one time have been
convened without England, which would
have been worse than no Congress at all.
This correspondent asserts that the form of
the present invitations was suggested to
Count Schouvaloff when at FREDERICKSBURG
on his way to st. Petersburg. The purport
of the invitations is that the Congress will
meet at Berlin to discuss the Treaty of San
Stefano. Germany, by the fact of issuing
the invitations, becomes guarantee that
the whole treaty will be submitted for dis
cussion.
sCHOUvALoFF TO RETURN.
LONDON, May pa st. Petersburg
special says Count Schouvaloff is expected
TO return to the Russian capital after ne
gotiations at London are finished. There
is no hope of Prince Gortschokaff being
able to go to Berlin, and General Ignatietf
is again being urged as substitute. In oc-
cupying Danubian waterfront abandoned
by the Turks Austria only fulflls a secret
understanding that she has had with Rus
sia for several weeks preparatory to the oc-
cupation of Bosnia. The movement of
Austrian troops elicits little comment at st.
Petersburg.

egation.
| LONDON, May 29.-The peace feeling is
not quite so buoyant to-day as it was yes
| terday The uneasiness is caused by an
apparent change in the attitude of Austria
| While England agrees to the Congress Aus
tria is making demonstrations unfavorable
| to Russia
The Pail Mall Gazette's Berlin CORE
spondent states that the formal invitations
to attend the Congress will be issued as
soon as all the Powers have answered the
informal communications in regard to the
date and other particulars of the meeting.
A dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette from
Berlin says Prince Bismarck has been ad-
vised by his physicians not to take part in
the Congress, as a personal attendance
might prove too exciting and laborious for
him in the present condition of his health.
1t is probable that he will attend the close
of the deliberations, and give his formal
sanction to the proceedings.
Advices from st. Petersburg and Moscow
indicate the popular feeling in Russia not
at all inclined to regard the meeting of Con-
gress as anything but the postponement OF
the inevitable conflict

In st. Petersburg and Moscow, among the
"Young Russians" it is believed the Con
