A special from Constantinople to
the Times, says General Todleben de.
clares, unless the Turkish comm ission.
ers induce the insurgents to disperae,
he will adopt severe repressive meas
ures.
A telegram from Batoum states that
concentration OF seven thousand
Mussalmen inhabitants at Lazlston, in
the Ardanatich district, has compelled
the Russiads to retreat and the rapid
gathering Of armed bands, renders nn-
tenable the Russian positions at 1.-Two
ria and on the Choruck river.
Advices from Bucharest state that
detachments OF Russian reserves and
recruits continue to pass through Rou.
mania for the regiments In the field.
Some of them are totally ignorant OF
military drill. Trains OF ammunition
were also passing to the Danube. The
Russians are making additional con-
tracts In Roumania for transport carts
and animals. 1t Is said three thousand
more were ordered to be ready In two
weeks for service south OF the Danube.
Renewed activity prevails In the
Servian arsenals. Orders have been
issued to the factory Of Krogujevatz to
increase the production Of ammuni-
ton to the amount of thirty thousand
rounds per day. All serviceable artil-
cry In store has been ordered to be
mounted and sent Immediately to the
front.
The movement OF Indian troops to
Malta, will be discussed In the house
of lords on Monday, when Baron Sell
dune will call attention to the ques.
ton whether such movement, pre-
vious to the notifying Of parliament,
Is constitutional. The opposition,
however, will not move any resolu-
ton on the subject in the house OF
lords, and Lord Hartington's resolu.
ton In the house, is declared not In
tended to raise the question of the
policy of using Indian forces, but
merely the legal issue.
The Times says when 1t announced
before hand that the leader Of the OPP
position in the lower house will not
raise the question Of policy, and when
the principal lawyers of the party In
the house OF lords will not throw his
objections into the form OF q resolu-
ton, the mere discussion Of constitu.
tional law of course would be more
suitable for debating society. The
fact IL the issues of the present crisis
have passed beyond the control of the
British parliament. The general polls
cy of the government has received at
its most critical stage the support OF
the country, and the ministry have
accordingly taken steps which leave
the next turn of events In other hands.
A Berlin dispatch says at the recep-
ton OF ministers, the emperor said
such occurrences as Hoedeps attempt
ought by no means be treated too
lightly. At the time when he was
himself member Of the ministry he
had always insisted upon the danger
which would result upon the triumph
of the tendencies OF the perion hostile
to the state. His approximations were
confirmed by the year 1s49. New 1t
was In still higher degree the duty
of the government to make every ex-
ertion to prevent the revolutionary
elements from CANNING the upper
hand. Before the police, Hoedel reit'
crates his assertion that he did not
shoot at the emperor, but several wit
nesses depose that they saw him aim
at his majesty. 1t is expected that hii
trial before high court will com
mence shortly. The penalty for Mi
crime Is death.
