NOT ALL HAPPY.
The London Morning advertiser Of May

such satisfactory progress that Sir Stat
ford Northcote may be expected to
make q statement in the House OF

Petersburg says it is rumored Count
Schouvalotf is again expected here in a
few days. Public opinion and the
press more and more disapproye of the
governments concession. The army
is especially excited by Count Andras-
sy's declarations. A Berlin special
says England and Russia have not

dency is apparent.

the Danubian water front, abandoned
by the Turks, Austria only fulfills II So
crct understanding that she had with
