ALL TIE POWERS TAKING AN UNUSUAL INTER
EST IN THE SITUATION.
New YORK, Jan. IA London special
says crisis in the East is near at hand
The situation has become greatly compli-
Gated within the past few hours. Italy and
Germany have suddenly brought England
face to face with new issue, more start
ling to her people than any event since the
beginning of the war. The uuquestioned
dominance of Russia 10 the fisld has forced
England to order her feet from Malta to the
old anchorage in Besika Bay, with the pre-
sumed intention of entering the Dardan-
elles at an early day. Germany and Italy
suddenly declare that they have an
interest in the East as well
as the Britons, and perhaps Spain. having
a tolerab.e navy may have something to
say. At any rate, the action of the Ger
man and Italian governments is unequiyo-
cal. Bismarck's policy is made clearer. He
is determined that England shall not per-
form acts really war-like unless she arrays
herself before the world as Russia's open
enemy. She shall not go to GalliOpe ex-
cept as the active ally of the Turks The
importance of the action of these two ma
tons cannot be exaggerated. This sudden
temperance of Italy as Mediterranean
power indicates that the government of
King Humbert is disposed to assert Italy's
claims to controlling influence in eastern
politics.

The Eastern. Complication.

Yesterday forenoon the district court post
poned for thirty days hearing on the Min
neapolis Eastern railway for the appoint
ment of commissioners to appraise damages
to private property over the line which is
now being fought out by and between the
Minneapolis Eastern and the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis. This postponement was because
of slight technicality-the failure of the
Eastern to notify two silent partners Of o.
A. Pray q Co.
The complication between the Minneapolis
Eastern and the Minneapolis Water Power
company as to the award for damages by the
former commissioners, which award the
Water Power company appealed from, has
been amicably settled by the Eastern aban-
doning part OF their line and accepting the
award of the commissioners for the remain
der of the property taken by them ($16, 5000.
Thus, one by one, these little troubles are
vanishing.

Important Concessions.

The council committe on railroads had a
meeting yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of giving further consideration to the ordi-
nance asked to be passed by the Minneapolis
X st. Louis railroad. After listening to the
arguments of attorneys and other parties in
interest, the committee agreed unanimously
to report favorable to the passage of the or
dlnaIce with two amendments. The first
and most important amendment was the To-
cation of one instead of two tracks across
Fifth and Sixth avenues south. The second
was strengthening somewhat the proviso
which allows the use of this spur track by
any and all other railroads having terminus
i'll this city.
These amendments are important conces-
sions to the Minneapolis Eastern, as it still
leaves room for track belonging to them
down through the center Of the much
wrangled about block, and also gives further
guaranty that the Minneapolis & St. Louis
will be forced to mike decent concessions to
them when their terminus is really estab-
lisbed here.
