WAR INEVITABLE.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 2O.-The government re-
csived dispatch from the imperial government
this afternoon, announcing that war between
England and Russia is inevitable.
sPECULATIONS.
LONDON, May 21.-A st. Petersburg cores
pendent says regarding recent pou, parlers, all
that seems authentic in current rumor, is that
two years term of occupation of Bulgaria may
be shortened, the number of troops diminished,
q European commission instead of Russian,
and a new scheme regarding the payment of
indemnity.
A Vienna correspondent apprehends that ne
gotiations will not be concluded for long time
and that the expectation of the congress meet
ing in fortnight is too sanguine.
Paris correspondent asserts that the czar
still insists that the Bessarabian question must
not be submitted to the congress.
PEACE PROSPECTS.
ST.. PETERSBURG, May 20.-While there is
reason to believe the foundations of an arrange
ment have been laid between the cabinets of
London and st. Petersburg, the small group of
personages who know what has occurred MAIN
tain an extreme reserve, and it is extremely
difficult to say how far the various rumors are
to be relied upon.
LONDON May 2O.-Uneasiness is felt at
Vienna about the prospects of an understand
ing between England and Russia. This feel
ing is not shared by the ministers, who are
thoroughly convinced Of England's good faith
regarding the European settlement.
Berlin seems incredulous about amicable
settlement. A correspondent says: Russia
has not offered England sufficient concessions
in Bulgaria. Russia, in fact, prefers to sur
render her Asiatic acquisitions rather than
forego her schemes in Bulgaria
MERELY pREcAUTIoNA Y.
LONDON, May 2O.-Russian official papers re-
iterate the statement that the movements of the
army before Constantinople are not hostile or
menacing. Pera correspondent says this is
becoming general conviction there, though
Thursday and Friday the movements caused a
regular panic. The same correspondent also
says that the strength and organization of the
Turkish army is now such that prudent gen.
eral like Todleben wonld hesitate to attempt a
coup de main while his rear is harrased by the
Rhodope instruction. Gen Todleben's object
all along has been to take up good de-
fensive position. He was not allowed to fall
back, as he wished, from San Stefano. He
therefore consolidated his men as far as posi-
BILE by bringing up troops from the rear. The
Turkish army is not only strong enough to de-
fehd neutrality, but even to assume the defen-
sive in that neutrality or to seriously menace.
This fact sufficiently explains Gen. Todlebens
care to lift his army off the San Stefano fats to
the adjacent heights and give it strong back
ing of support by bringing up troops from the

Prince Gortschakoff is slightly better, but

STILL GREAT TENSION.
New YORK, May 20.-A Constantinople dis
patch says: Prince Labanoff, the Russian am
bassador, to-day gave reception to resident
Russians, and in brief address expressed
strong hopes of peace. He, however, recon-
mended them not to be too sanguine, as the
situation is still one Of great tension.
MOVING OF INDIAN TROOPS.
LONDON, May 20.-In the House of Com
mons this afternoon Lord Huntington moved
his resolution that no forces be raised or kept
by the crown in time of peace. save within In.
dia, without the sanction of Parliament. He
said he had made the issue very narrow be
cause the question in itself was sufficiently i'm
portant to fix the attention of Parliament be-
cause of the delicate negotiations which the
discussion might prejudice, and because Sil
| Stafford NorthcOte himself, had said that gen
eral debate was not in the interest of the coun
try. Lord Sellorne opened debate in the House
of Lords on the subject of the moving of In
dian troops, by calling attention to the consti
tutional question involved. Both houses wer,
, crowded. The Prince of Wales and German
! crown prince and princess were in the gallery
| of the House of Lords.
The debate was continued until late at night
the principal opposition speakers being Si
Charles Dixie, Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt, MIR
Laing and Mr.. Dellwyn, and for the govern
ment, Mr.. Stanhope and Mr.. Chaplin, nearly al
of whom confined themselves to the constitu

In the House of Lords the debate was purel,
constitutional. Lord Selburne and the Lort
Chancellor each occupied two hours. The
were followed by Viscount Cardwell, Ear
Granville and Duke of Rutland, for the oppo
sition, and Lord Napier of Etterick, and Lor
Denman for the government. Lord Beacons
field closed the debate.

BERLIN, May 2O.-If DR.. Falk cannot be in
duced to remain minister of public instructio
and ecclesiastical affairs, Prudential, ministe
