THE EASTERN TROUBLES,
PEACE DEMoNsTRATIoN

LONDON, Feb. 22-The workmen's peace
demonstration IN Hyde Park, or Sunda' the
oath inst, Is persisted in. Five huuured
special Censtabes will be sw rn in 10 pro-
tect the platform. An anti Russian counter
demonstration Will be organized unless the
weather Is unfavnrablr, thus preventing a
large turn out The affair is apt To be very
uproariouS. 1t seems now certain that the
meeting OF workingmen at Agricultural
Hall, lslington. to consider the Eastern
question, was abandoned from tear OF dis
turbances. Anyhow, Mr.. Gladstone did
not refuse to speak.
INDEMNITY REFUSED.
The PaH Mall Gazette states that the man
ayers of Agricultural Hall demanded in
demnity against damage, which the pro-
moters of the meeting refused.
OUR BONDS ABROAD
The Times, In its financial article, SAYS:
The most important business in the foreign
stock market to-day (Thursday,) was the
selling of United States bonds by The pub
lie. 1t is not so much that the selling has
been of large amounts, as that it has been
selling by actual holders, and upon market
where there are few buyers, except upon
American account. There is danger, there
tore, lest the alarm may be generated by the
fall thus caused, and the bonds get pressed
on dealears faster than they care to have
them. Holders almost always become more
little pressure would cause a sharp fall.
There is no cause for alarm, and any rush
TO sell is much to be deprecated"
DO NOT LIKE 1T.
LONDON. Feb. 22.-The Times Berlin dis
patch says that since Prince Bismark's
speech is disliked in south Germany, where
the popular iSh is to support Austria, as
snranceS counteractng the unfavorable
effect of the speech. and calculated 70 per-
10 bn
support Austria in any war, arc circulated
in more quarters than one.
FEELING AT ST. PETERSBURG.
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of the
Times telcgraphs that the state of feeling
here in consequence OF recent events. eS-
pecially he speech of Prince Bismarck, Is
fairly represented by the following passage
from an article in the BedomOste: "If
gratitude is the ordinary result OF the self
sacrificing activity of Russia, we become
so accustomed to it that it no longer as
tonshes us. No sooner is war finished than
we meet all such intrlgues and hostility,
not only from powerful neighbors who can
support their words by force, bat even
from powerless little States, like Roumania
and Greece"
LOST ALL CONTROL
The Daily Telegraph's Vienna correspon-
dent attaches much importance To the state
ment that Emperor William has telegraph
ed to the Car reminding him of his promise
TO fulfill certain duties towards Austria.
The correspondent, however, fears the Gar
has lost all control over the war party. The
Sclav Committees, he says, have more infiu-
ence now than the Ger and his official ad
visers.
FRESH DIFFICULTIES.
Times Vienna dispatch says: Fresh
difficulties seem to have arisen about the
sitting and the preljtninaries of the Confer
ence. Two days ago il was announced that
the French Government though making no
objection on principle 10 Congress instead
of Conference, expressed some apprehen-
sion lest such a general meeting, without
any distinct lin citations, might lead to dis
cussion of other questions than the Eastern
question.
