RUMORs DENIED.

day that the negotiations for The Congress
had been temporarily suspended, and that
Count Schouv&loff awaited final instruC-
tions from st. Petersburg, but these un-
favorable rumors were afterwards officially
denied.
LONDON, May 29.-The peace feeling is
not quite so buoyant to-day as it was yes
terday. The uneasiness is caused by an
apparent change in the attitude OF Austria
While England agrees to the Congress Aus
tria is making demonstrations unfavorable
to Russia
The Pail Mall Gazettes Berlin CORE
spondent states that the formal invitations
to attend the Congress will be issued as
soon as all the Powers have answered the
informal communications in regard to the
date and other particulars of the meeting.
A dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette from
Berlin says Prince Bismarck has been ad-
yised by his physicians not to take part III
the Congress, as q personal attendance
might prove too exciting and laborious for
him in the present condition of his health.
1t is probable that he will attend the close
Of the deliberations, and give his formal
sanction to the proceedings
Advices from St. Petersburg and Moscow
indicate the popular feeling in Russia moi
at all inclined to regard themeeting of Con
gress as anything but the postponement Of
the inevitable conflict.
This feeling is SO strong and the anxiety
among Young Russia for the war is so fer
vid that the Directors of the Russian lnpe-
rial Bank, notwithstanding its embarrassed
condition, have loaned the Moscow Cruiser
Company the sum Of 81, 500, 000 without in
terest, for the purpose of equipment of fast
vessels in America to be used against Eng
lish commerce.
In st. Petersburg and Moscow, among the
"Young Russians" it is believed the Con-
gress is only for the purpose of giving time
for England to increase her strength on
land, and that il should be RussiaS role to
profit by the delay in increasing her olfens
i've strength at sea.

LONDON, May 30.-The following state
ment is obtained from high source: The
temporary check in negotiations is due to
two causes. Austria, emboldencd by Eng
lands success in obtaining concessions from
Russia, has put forward in more decisive
terms the demands which she has hitherto
offered as suggestions.
Lord Salisbury, on his part, has insisted
that certain guarantees for the integrity of
Turkey in Asia should be given
The real object Of the move is to obtain
the virtual cession of Egypt to England.
This is what has practically been the bone
Of contention during the last fortnight. The
meeting of the Congress is assured, but both
Salisbury and Schouyalotf are anxious that
before it meets all should be arranged 50
that there shall be no wrangling around
