FOREIGN NEWS.
WAR NEWS,

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. lit is off
cially announced that Prince Gortshakoff
on Sunday telegraphed the powers stating
that the intelligence that Great Britian
and other powers had determined to send
ships to Congtantinople for the protection
of their subjects obliged Russia to consider
the proper means of protecting Christians
whose lives and property might be threat
ened. For this purpose the Russian
government had been obliged to contem-
into Constantinople. 1t is semi officially
Grand Duke Nicholas, in accordance with
the determination expressed above.
| LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE correspondent
of the Times atSt. Petersburg telegraphs
as follows. | can state positively that
orders have been sent othe Russian troops
to enter Constantinople. Count Schouva-
loft has been ordered to explain to Lord
Derby that as the great powers have de-
teImined to send their fleets to CONSTANT
uople, Russia is to adopt similar measures,
but Russia has no intention of aggravating
the situation.
The Times in its leading article says a
portion of the British feet will proceed to
Constantinople. That is unavoidable after
what has occurred. 1t points out that
Lord Derby emphasized his statement that
other powers may not consider il necessary
to avail themselves of frmans for the
admission of their fleets, although they
had applied for them. 1t is possible,
therefore, that the British and Russians
alone NAV be present at Constantinople.
! Such position would be one fthe gravest
. anxiety. Everything may turn upon the
character of the Russian occupation q
, mere demonstrative occupation as
that of Paris in 1870 ought not to be re.
, garded as alarming, but an occupation il
J force, with no apparent limit in point Of
, time, would throw upon our government
a very grave responsibility. The moment
t is one at which a few hasty words or a sin
, gle hasty act might precipate a con
d fiict. The government have laid dowr
8 certain hints beyond which we cannot be
: indifferent to the advance of Russia. I
: these limits are passed it will be tbei
: duty to act promptly and boldly, but it i
= equally their duty to place no hasty con
: structlon on acts WHICH may be icapable o
two Interpretations.
O It seems that the Russian note relatip,
# to the conference has not been presented
J. The delay is only explieable on the suppo
> sition that it is occasioned by the deter
mination of the British government +
s send feet to CopstantinopIe. The ste
t was unexpected and it has produced
rather startling effect, so that, pending

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of its curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis
tributed free of charge by druggists in this
country to those afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia
and other diseases of the throat aud lungs,
giving the American undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The re-
suit has been that druggists in every towr

hopeless and much depends on the judicious choice
OF a remedy. The amount OF testimony in favor Of
DR.. Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup, q cure for Con-
SUMPTION far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine See
DR.. schcnck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest respectablity, who
have been restored to health, after being pro-
nounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged
ability Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but the
cure is often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which DR.. Schenck provides for the
purpose These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By th'
timely use of these medicines, according to direc
| tions. Dr. Schenck certiies that most any case o.
Consumption can be cured.
