sion created by the news of the journey
OF Count Schouvalof, the Russian Am
bsssador here. to St. Petersburg, is
strengthened by the fact tha: he hsd long
interviews with Lord Salisbury, Foreign
Secretary, and Lord Besconsfel4, Pre-
mler, before his departure. 1t is be-
lieved he takes the British reply TO GER
tain inquiries snd proposals determined
upon st St. Petersburg ten days sgo, hav.
ing in view both the withdrawal Of the
Russians and British from Constantinople
and the facilitating of the assembling Of
the Congress. Count Schouvsloh Will
arrive in st. Petersburg on Saturday or
Sunday, and is expected here IN two
weeks or so. Nothing decisive msy be
known until next week. High hopes are
entertained in the best diplomstlc quar-
ters of the results OF his mission.

burg, so any important change IN the
situation Is unlikely until the Russian
reioinder is returned A Russian coup de
man is no longer dreaded or believed
possible in view OF the condition and
numbers Of the army. According to
the Turkish view, the Russians ought -
withdraw beyond Airianoplo, so Us TO
occupy the line fixed ~ the eastern limit
of Bulgaria. The Turks, bowever, pre-
posed to surrender the places one after
the other, so Is to allow tho MuscovItes
time TO perform their part of the engage
ment. Should this method be followed
Shumls will be the first, Narna the Sec
ond, and Batoum the last TO surrender.
Precautionary Measures by Austria.
VIENNA, May S.-Iiilis will be pre-
sented In the Austrian and Hungarian
Legislatures, Thursday, asking authority
for the respective Ministers OF Finance
to arrange a way by which the money
voted by delegations shall be raised. As
to the motive for this step, the explana-
tlon is likely TO be-genersl, merely AIM
ing to show that the government should
be enabled 70 take those precautionary
military measures, both on the eastern
and southern frontiers, which in the opin-
ion of the ministers, cannot we'll be much
longer delayed. Iheso prec iull0tHry
measures are likely to consist Of concen-
tratons in Trsnsylysnis, Croatia and
Dslmstis, covering the three frontiers
exposed TO Russia or her allies. The
proposed measures will no. be on very
important scale in Transyl ylyaL ID quarters,
for $1,000 men have been ordered. The
forces on the Servian and Mohtenegrin
frontiers will be smaller. The idea Of
occupying Bosnia has quite retired into
the back ground.
English Influence at COnstautihopIe
ST. PETERSBURG, May S.-Thc AgsnCe
Russo says that Russia has not thought
OF tetting aside Ehglsnd's legitimate 10
huence, or Of exercising exclusive pre-
pondersnce Of power in Turkey. This
ls shown by the fact tgst, despite Russian
sacrifices, English influence is still pre-
dominant at ConstsntinOpIe.
