NON PACIFIC.
BERLIN, April 1.-THE P,.0rincial Cor
| respondence says there is no essential change
in the situation, but the sharp tension of di-
plomatic relations appears to be yielding
somewhat to more pacific views.
SATISFACTORY.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE Aqeuce
Russo says the pour pa'lers appear to be
taking satisfactory turn.
ENGLAND ISOLATED.
VIENNA, April 17.-1,he Neao Free Press
learns from Berlin that Russia may osten-
sibly agree to England's demand to submit
the entire treaty to congress. If this course
is adopted, it would show that Russia had
agreed with other continental powers, and
that England will be isolated in her objec-
tons to the treaty.
STOCKHOLM, April 1.-THE truth of the
rumer that negotiations have been com
menced by England with Sweden for posses
sion of Farce island in the Baltic, is posi-.
lively denied.
THE STRIKE.
LONDON, April 1.-THE notices of the re
duction of wages of cotton operatives in
Lancashire expire to-day and tomorrow
The refusal of the masters at Manchester to
agree to five per cent reduction, and their
resolution that if a strike occurs at any OF
the mills where the notice has been given OF
ten per cent. reduction, the remainder OF
the tracts shall lock out at the earliest posi-
bic moment, leaves little hope of averting a
struggle which will involve the stoppage
of two hundred thousand looms and six
million spindles, and make idle no less
than 10000 work people. The council
of operators and spinners, after their inter-
view with the masters yesterday, resolved to
recommend the members of that association
n ONYof ho
present, and call representative meeting of
spinners for Sunday, to decide upon their
future course. The operatives at Accrington
and the district of Church, Harwood, Enfield
and Preston, are willing 10 accept reduced
wages and reduced time, but there is no hope
of the masters accepting such proposal.
he Blackburn and Burnley operatives resist
uncompromisingly. Consequently tonight
in all probability will begin the most gigantic
strike and lock out that has ever occurred
in Lancashire. Instructions have been is
sued to operatives by committees in the
various trades as to how to proceed. Where
no notices were posted they will go on work
ing. Where notices are posted they will le
specially request the masters to remove
them. If this request is refused they will
leave work quietly, as on Saturday night.
The operatives are particularly enjoined to
encourage no rioting OF misbehavior any
where. The looms not effected by the strike
will subscribe three pence per week for the
strikers. The Oldham district is not effect
ed directly, but owing to the intimate bust
ness relations between Oldham and Black
burn, short time if not stoppage will be
necessary in many Oldham mills.
LONDON, April 17.-At Bornley abou
5000 operatives will be idle Tomorrow The
splnners expressed willingness to accept a
reduction, but as the weavers refused, all
have stopped work. At Burnley and Pade-
ham, the hands at all thesmills except about
three, are either under notice or on strike.
At Preston, a third of the masters have ac-
cepted the compromise proposed by the
operatives, for per cent reduction.
ST. PETERSBURG OPINION.
LONDON, April IA St. Petersburg cor
respondent telegraphs: The situation is I'M
altered. The conciliatory action of Germany
continues, but so far without result. The
difference in regard to submitting the whole
treaty is declared to offer an insuperable OBJ
stable to further negotiations in the direc-
ton hitherto followed. am assured on
good authority that Russia will consent to
some new departure, such as taking the
treaties of 1856 and 1871, as the basis of
discussion. The organ of the ministry of
foreign affairs, has the following remarks in
this sense: The real aim of the plenipo-
tentlaries would be to prevent
confagration and regulate the East
after events, the Importance of which can
not be contested. We care little about the
way of getting into congress, provided the
door IS large enough to admit all without
