ceived the following dispatch:
.s Coastdntinople, Friday aight.-Namek

tiers charged with an endeavor to dissuade
the Grand Duke Nicholas from occupying
Constant1nople. The russians on Friday

BERLIN, February 16.-The German Ga
zette says: g request was received from
St. Petersburg yesterday that German inftu-
ence would make itself felt. That influence
cannot be but peaceful. In spite Of all as
serttons to the contrary the relations exist
ing between the Imperial courts not only
place all idea Of any GOODNESS arising be-
tween them entirely out OF the question,
but also offer sure guarantee for the MAIN
tenance OF the general peace"
LONDON, February 16.-The Iin,eS's
leading editorial Is very pacific in tone. 1t
says: cit will be due to some gratuitous
mismanagementi IL the relative positions OF
England and Russia near Constantinople
leads to any serious misunderstanding. Our
own Government may be trusted to act
with combined moderation and firmness.
II the Russians are reasonably prudent,
there is no reason why the Powers should
not enter peacefully into conference"
