PORTE REFUSES A FRMAN.
A special dated st. Petersburg, Wednes-
day, contains the following: Late last night
the government received information that
the Sultan refused most positively to grant
frman for entrance of the British fleet
Russia maintains an expectant attitude and
has taken measures for an advance of part
of her troops now before Constantinople as
soon as any foreign men-of war enter the
straits.
The entrance of troops is not intended a
an act of hostility, but anxiety is felt lest
accidental cohesion might occur. If troops
enter it is thought the Sultan will retire to
Broussa. In that event it would be ex-
tremely difficult to re-establish even a
shadow of Turkish empire in Europe
The Russian government does not, for the
present, desire such radical solution of the
question. In view of all this negotiations
for the assembling of the conference, have
for the moment fallen into the back ground
An Anglo Austrian alliance is now spoken of
as a possibility.
A Vienna correspondent reports that tor
pedoes have actually been shipped from
Odessa for the Russians, presum ably for use
in the Bosphorus. The prohibition against

PEACEFUL AND wARL1KE-As YOU LIKE IT.
LONDON, Feb. IA Paris correspondent
telegraphs that it is believed in competent
quarters, that matters will be arranged
peacefully.
A letter from St. Petersburg afirms that
the Russians, on entering Constantinople,
will promise to resume their present posi-
tions on the assembling of the conference.
1t is known that Germany, within the last
few days has urged moderation on Austria.
Another Vienna special, however, says the
excitement is daily increasing. The word
mobilization is on everybody's lips.
A perfectly reliable person writes from
st. Petersburg that the idea of a conference
has produced general dissatisfaction.
The Telegraph says if the British fleet
entered the Dardanelles at day break Wed
nesday passage thence to Constantinople
would occupy from II to 16 hours.
