EASTERN EMBROGLIO.
How the Foreign Situation
Looks this Morning
War Preparations.

London, April 25.-Negotiations re-
garding the congress and the with
drawal Of the British fleet and Russian
troops from near Constantinople, have
not yet led to any result, and it is con-
sidered unfortunate that Bismarck and
Gortschakoff have fallen i'll at this
critical juncture. In the uncertainty
of an issue of the ''pour parlers'' the
Russians are strengthening their posi-
tions, and advices from various points
say there is considerable movements of
troops towards Constantinople and Gal
lipoli. a Vienna correspondent says,
at Tchaldja, thirty miles northeast of
Constantinople, two thousand sappers
and eight thousand infantry are at
work turning and completing the lines
thrown up by the Turks along the whole
line from Hadeinkoi to Derkoson,
on the Black Sea. A good many of the
siege guns belonging to the Turks re-
main there, and one hundred heavy
guns and thirty mortars are expected
from Odessa.
Position and Force of Troops.
At San Stefano as well as other ex-
posed points of the coast, batteries
have been erected to frustrate any at
tempts to land. According to Russian
accounts seven hundred guns are al
ready in position along the cost. In
Wallachia Russian troops of occupa-
tion consist of three army corps.
Twenty-four reserves battalions and
proportionate number of artillery and
cavalry Of these, the eleventh army
corps is distributed in cantonments
between Bucharest and Giurgevo.
The 14th corps is at Galatz, 9Th is in
Bessarabia and the oath Reserve Bal
kans are in Moldavia, making in all
about 100, 900 men under General brent
ellen.

tering the large reception room the
band played "Hail to the Chief" The
distinguished guests were conducted TO
the rostrum, which was covered with
cut flowers and growing plants, and

made an address of welcome. Presi-
dent Hayes responded as follows: ''Mr.
President and gentlemen: If l do not
detain YOU with any speech; you will, l
am sure, believe me sincere when say
that am very sensible of the honor of
such greeting from such an assem-
biage OF the business men of the Unit

The President visited the Chestnut
street Theater, and was serenaded at
the hotel by German singing societies.
The President, Secretary Schurz and
the Attorney General spoke briefly and
the crowd dispersed. At night he at
tended the Gilmore concert, being
greeted on his entrance with "Hail to
the Chief" Mrs. Hayes is reported as
saying, regarding the use of wine: SIT

cradle interest felt by the citizens in
the movements of the Communists of

confess they are preparing for future
emergencies, but say they will act

ment disorders. There are about eight
thousand of them in this county, and it
Is stated that one to two thousand are

GEN. JOHN NJ. PALMER, the "boss"
Democrat of Illinois, is sorely plagued
to harmonize himself with the platform
adopted by the party in that state at
Its recent convention. In fact he quar-
rels with it whenever he undertakes to
discuss it, but he finds unfailing con-
ISOLATION in the reflection that "the
Democratic party is Interchangeable In
It's fundamentals" Just so, but there
wasn't fundamental in the platform.

dren; and while Bonaparte was Gen
eral of the Army of the Interior, his
son, fine boy of twelve years of age,
came to him one day to beg that his
fathers sword might be returned to
him. Bonaparte complied with the
request, the very character of which
commended it to his favor, and spoke
to the child with such encouraging
kindness that his mother visited him
few days afterward to thank him
for his notice of her boy. Madame
Beauharnais was handsome and pre-
eminently graceful md attractive.
She had shared her husbands prison,
but had been released on the fall OF
Robespierre; since which event she
had been on terms of the closest in
timacy with Barras. Her grace now
made very deep impression on the
young general, whose previous cir
eanastences had not brown him much
into the society of ladies of high
breeding. After a short acquaintance
he sought her in marriage. She
hesitatsd. Some of those who envied
him had fixed upon him the nick
name of Gsno Vendemiaire, as if the
only triumphs which he was quail
fed to gain were over citizen soldiers.
And there were not wanting friends
of her own to ridicule his somewhat
wild appearance, his meagre face,
and long hair hanging down on his
shoulders; and, what was q greater
objection still, his evident poverty.
But she, too, was ambitious; he had
On enthusiastic way of talking which
persuaded her that be was capable Of
great deeds; and Barras promised
her that, if she would consent to
marry him, he would procure for him
as her husband the command of the
Army of Italy. His argument pre-
vailed, the lady consented; the Di-
rector kept his promise; the marriage
took place. and two days afterward

campaign which was to lead to the
attainment of q loftier destiny than
either of them had as yet ventured to
expect.
