FEvERIsH EXCITEMENT OVER THE SITUATION.
LONDON, April 17.-Parliament has ad,

question still unsettled, and the fear is very
general that war may be rendered incyita-
bic by the acts of the Government before
Parliament again assemblies
Germanys efforts at Cancellation seem to
have been directed toward Austria alone,
and there are strong indications that Rus
sia and Austria will agree upon some mu-
tually satisfactory modification of the treaty

probable that three weeks can pass without
the elimination of the Anglo-Russian diff
culties; either in the certainty OF war or OF
peace. The present state of foverish ankle
ty must soon be ended, one way or the
other. 1t is regarded as almost certain that
hostilities between. Russia and Roumania
must break out unless Congress be agreed

the general feeling of alarm.

Grand Duke Nicholas is depressed and
gloomy.
One correspondent says the first gun may
be hred at any moment. The two great

useless to indulge any illusions respecting
the gravity of the present state of affairs.
We are, perhaps, ON the eve of great bat
tie; and amid movement so violent that IT
threatens to carry everything before it.
Germany is the only State sufficiently pow
erful to arrest the headlong course of events,

matte power.

as this is about the fourth time that prison

SUITS GROWING OUT OF THE GREAT LONDON
WALK.
New YORK, April ia letter just re-
ceived from London says legal suit which
will create great deal of interest is to be
commenced there over the champion belt
and prize money awarded by Sir John Ast-
ley in the recent international pedestrian
contest. The belt and first prize money, $500,
were won by Daniel o. Leary, the American !;
William Vaughan, of Chester, coming in sec
ond. The latter claims that O Leary's entry
was illegal, as his entrance fee was not
posted until after the day on which the
entries closed and he has entered suit to
recover the belt and money. OLeary'
money was sent over but his agent failed to
enter him. The English pedestrians pro-
tested against OLeary starting, but after
explanations Sir John Ashley decided that
O'Leary should compete.
This decision was in violation of all rules
governing such contests, and the general
opinion is that Vaughan, who hasengaged
first-class legal talent, will have the case de-
cided in his favor if his friends can stand
the time and expense of a prolonged suit
as John Ashley with his great wealth will
make bitter fight. The suit will not in
terfere with OLeary, who has received the
money, but will prevent him taking the
belt to America until che case is decided.
John Ashley promised that if the Courts de-
eide against him the American shall have
another belt, fac smile and of the same
value.
