following from . correspondent at 81.
Petersburg: There Is some truth In the
rumors thu, Prince Bismarck has retired
from tho position Of mediator. Az the
principle Of simultaneous withdrawal
from Constantinople Is accepted, he thinks
the negotiations..a As. to details can DO more
conveniently carried on directly between
the parties concerned. Perhaps he IL also
influenced by certain unonicial insinu.
atoms that he does not ardently desire the
success Of the negotiations. Russia 10

rect, and. hopes that Lord Salisbury will
abandon his purely negative criticism, but
u Is not known how England intends 10
act. Some very well.iniormcd people here
are convinced that direct negotiations can
hardly fail To be successful, II both sidcs
desire an amicable arrangement. I'm
snre this 10 the case with Russia, who 10
ready 10 accept any arrangement securing
the Amslioration Of the condition Of the
