on the Eastern question are the first semi.
official expressions OF opinion since the
hitch In the Congress. The Berlin Pos,
which prints nothing political without
purpose and which is one Of Prince
Bismarck's organs, says: "The failure Of
the Congress would probably result in
Russia and England remaining at peace
but arming for war. These armaments
England can infinitely better afford than
Russia, who would be reduced to ex-
haustion; while she would be obliged to
maintain her armies on n war footing for

succeed on this than on the second former
mission.
The Russian answer 10 England's latest
question merely says that the govern
ment adheres TO its former views. This
does not sound very promising, but it is
still thought here that the reply will not
close all interchange OF opinion.
GERMANY AND TIE POPE,
The Tines Berlin dispatch says: The
Popes conciliatory letter TO the German
Emporer has been answered In the same
spirit. There is q pros pect Of the Ultra
montane difficulty being overcome.
SITUATION IMPROVED.
A London correspondent OF the Man
chester Guardian says the situation, so
far as regards the meeting OF the Con.
gress, ia much improved by the assurances
that Lord Derby has received from Count
Schouyaloff during the past few hours.
Count schouvaloff kept Rnssias negative
to Euglands demand regarding the sub.
mission OF the treaty TO the Congress In
his pocket, having learned that the con.
sequences OF such response would be
serious, and did not deliver II until he
got authority to give Lord Derby certain
assurances and explanations.
TRIBUTE TO AspRAssY's FORESIGHT.
The Tdges Rssae regards 1gnatiefi7s
mission as striking tribute TO the cor
rectness Of Count Andrassy's policy Of al.
ways consulting stro.Hungarian in

The Ee,ndenblaa hopes that Ignatietr

has now arrived when Austria should

cautionary measures beyond her own
frontiers. This remark Of the Hataden-

are silent.
RussIA's SUGGESTION DECLINED.
A Berlin dispatch says the Powers
have declined the suggestion made by
Russia, that the Congress be held without
England. Prince Gortschakoff is endeav.
oring to bring about meeting Of three
Emperor and three Chancellors. Russia
is understood to have indicated her viii
lipgness 10 make further concessions to
Austria and some concessions also to
Roumania; being prompted, II L. thought,
by growing apprehensions Of differences
with England. Germany has, under the
