PREPARING FOR THE CONFERENCE.
RUSSIA ACCEPTS, AND MAKES SUGGESTIONS.
LONDON. Wednesday. Feb. 6. 1879.

LONDON, Wednesday, Feb. g. 1873.
Russias reply to the invitation to the conference
arrived in Vienna to-day 1t is in the affirmative,
but declares that Russia is opposed to holding it in
Vienna or any other great capital. She prefers a
small town in one of the States and considers
that the presence of the foreign Ministers of the
powers would give authority to the delibera-
tions. and is essential to insure good
and practical results. Moreover Russia believes
the attendance of the Ministers would 1hcilitate
questions It would have to deal with in the interest
of humanity and lasting peace. Count Andrassy
Will preside over the conference. Lord Lyons, AM
Ambassador at Constantinople, are named semi-of-
fcially as likely to be the British delegates 10 the
conference. Servia has asked Russia tor admission
TO the conference with a consultative voice.
