Wahrman protested that the
Hungarian delegation was not
ruled by warlike feeling, but it calmly
and steadily declared its readiness to
enter upon war if unavoidably necessary.
Several members expressed concur
rences in this view.
The subcommittee Of the Hungarian
delegation to-day unanimously adopted
a motion to grant the credit Of 60OO0,-
900 forms asked for by Count An
Grassy.
PEACE DEMONSTRATION.
London associated press dispatches
under date of March 18th say, according
to the largest estimates, the number Of
persons who attended the peace demon
stration in Hyde park on yesterday
was about two thousand. They were
hustled about the park, and finally
elected, by q large and disorderly mob

eral men, slightly hurt, were taken
to the hospitals. The mob
then separated, going to cheer for Lord
Beaconstield and Musurus Pasha. A
large crowd cheered and groaned be-
fore Gladstone's house. Mr.. Gladstone
and his wife, when going to church, were
obliged to take refuge in a friends house,
whence they were escorted by the
police. The duke of Teck was mistaken
for Count Shouvaloff, the Russian am
bassador, and insulted and hustled by
the mob.
THE MONEY INDEMNITY.
A special from San StefanO says: 1t
is stated that Rauof Pasha will ask the
remission of the 3O0,O0O,OOO roubles of
indemnity.
THE TREATY RATIFIED By THE SULTAN.
The sultan has ratified the treaty. 1t
is reported that the last clause is to the
effect that Russia and Turkey will re-
gard the treaty as soHdo1e, implying
that they will not recognize the right Of
any power to interfere with its terms
except as regards the question of the
straits and the settlement Of the boun-
diaries of Montenegro.
THE GRAND DUKES VISIT TO THE SULTAN.
A Pera special of the 18th says: The
question of the visit of the Grand Duke
Nicholas to COnstantinople results in a
compromise. The visit will be less
ostentatious than was at first proposed
MORE MEASURING.
A Vienna dispatch OF March II states
that Count Andrassy, answering ques-
tons in the subcommittee Of the Hun
garian delegation, disclaimed any inten-
ton of occupying or annexing Bosnia,
but did not deny that events might
cause alteration Of the policy. The
general impression is that the situation
is more reassuring that many previ-
ously believed it would be-
Another correspondent at Vienna is
fully persuaded that the votes will pass
the delegations within week.
THREATENING AGAIN.
London dispatches under date Of
March Is. say, disturbing rumors and
increasing uneasiness are once more
the order of the day. The occupation
Of the island of Mitylene by England,
which Russia would regard as casus beli
is among the prominent rumors, includ-
ing the assertion that Russia is availing
herself of the alleged intention of Eng
land with regard to the occupation Of
Mitylene concentrate force nearer
the Turkish capital. 1t is certain that
PUBLIC FEELING
is rather Respondent more from what
is not known than from what is known
| Despite all assertions to the contrary,
nothing is understood as to the inten-
tons either Of Austria, Russia, or Eng
land. Russia has two powerful parties,
one conciliatory and the other be]liger-
ent. So evenly divided are these two
parties and SO mysterious are
THE OPERATIONS OF RUSSIA
that no intelligent conclusion can be
drawn as to her action, and the most
that the best informed English politi-
clans can do is to hope for the best.
FULL OF MENACE.
A not wholly reliable war-office rumOr
asserts that the English government has
no hope of the preservation of peace,
but will continue negotiations till the
last moment, and will work in the con-
gress up to a certain point, and will
then withdraw and at once take posses
sion Of points commanding
THE SUEZ CANAL
and take action to keep open the straits
and Bosphorus. The same authority
says that by that time an agreement
will have been reached between Eng
land and Turkey whereby the latter will
take the field with force Of 100000
For this purpose Baker Pasha has been
suddenly recalled to Turkey.
