A German View of the Treaty.
BERLIN, April 5-The North German
Gazette says that although the treaty does moi
affect Germany's interests, the entrance o.
Russia into antagonism with other neigbbor:
| and friends of Germany, cannot be matter o
indifference to her. The negotiators OF the
treaty seem not to have kept the interests o.
| the other powers sufficiently in mind. Russis
/ could only purchase complete fulfiilment @
| the treaty by another war. The princlpa
| obstacle to settlement is Rnssia's having
bound herself by the terms of the treaty, Boti
| England and Austria admit that great changes
| are necessary In the East. IL is therefore to b.
| hoped that in view of the agreement of Russia
| Austria and England on this main point the
common desire 1or peace may ultimately gan
the upper hand.
No Peaceful Solution Deemed Possible
| LONDON, April 6.-The Times St. Peters,
burg despatch yesterday evening says: "Lort
| Salsbury's circular was communicated t,
Prince Gortschakoff this morning. 1t is sale
| in official circles that many of the British OBJ
| jections might have been removed in the con
gress but now the door is closed against con
| cessions. 1t is difficult, therefore, to imagin
any pacific solution. The most plausible prop
osilion perhaps is that a congress shoul'
| be called to consider the modification nee
essary in the treaties of 1866 and 1871
Little faith however is placed in snch ingen
| ious proposals. The majority of the officia
world aud of the public regard war as newt
able and show no disposition to shrink from
the grave consequences of long struggl
whice they pretty clearly foresee.
