upon, subject to the consldeTa-
ton and decision Of the Berlin

provinces-one north of the Bal.

touch thu Hgean Sea- with a
Christian governor and the gov
ernment modelled upon that OF
the English colonies. England
reserves the right to discuss IN
the congress all International
arrangements relating to the
Danube. England does not con-
slider the possession OF Batoum
by Russia sufficient justification
for hostile interference, and Rus
sia promises not to further ad-
vance her frontier in Asia. Rus
sia promises neither to take the
indemnity in land nor to inter
fere with England'S claims on
Turkey as a creditor, the point
as to the payment of the war in
demnity to be discussed by the
congress. Russia agrees that
the passage Of the Dardanelles
and Bosphorus shall remain in
statu quo. England will sug-
gest at the congress that
Europe reorganize Bulgaria, and
will discuss the question Of the
Russian occupation of and the
passage Of troops through Rou-
mania.

CRASHING NICHOLAS.

A Constantinople dispatch of the 18th
states that the Grand Duke Nicholas
continues to demand forts on the up
per Bosphorus. Gen. Nelikolf will have
an interview with the Sultan on the
subject to-day.
The grand duke has also demanded
the immediate evacuation Of Batoum
in accordance with the treaty, indicat-
ing that in the event of noncompliance
complications may arise.
A SEPARATE UNDERSTANDING.
The Age,oe Rus@ of the 11th states
that a short circular accompanying
Prince Gortschakofs reply invites Eng
land to rornul"to her proposals. A vi
emma correspondent remarks that this
seems to point to an intention of trying
to come to q seperate understanding
with England, as was attempted with
Austria.
WAR PREPARATIONS.
London advices Of the 18th states
that for the protection of ships in the
Mediterranean from brpedoes, a num-
Der of steam launchkrs will be sent to
Ismaid and other stations. A number
of torpedo boats weP sent from Chat
ham dock yards to tie Mediterranean.
A chartered steamer is now landing

GORTsCHAKOFF AVER THE PRESS.
Gortschakof has rtguested the Rou-

schakoff's circular is lot reassrring. 1t
is pointed out here tht the government
cannot accept the imitation to the for
nation of counter proposals.: that the
question must be settld by the powers
Jointly. In Vienna, 'here only tel
egraphic summary ms yet been re-
| ceived, the most serius deduction is,
that the hope heretofoe held out from
st. Petersburg of the .enewel of conf
dence negotiations, is OF confirmed by
Gortschakoff's circularwhich says moth
ing about accepting highlands condi-
ton for going to the ongress without
some such concession on the part Of
Russia. No view can taken towards
a peaceful settlement. The suddenness
with which the circulawas telesraphed
to London during thelebate OH an ad-
dress to the queen, ex,tes remarks.
RUSSIAN MOMENTS.
Vienna advices of lie 18th say the
advance guards of tie seventh and
fourth Russian army corps began to
cross from Rustchuk Giurgevo, in

THE supreme court of Wisconsin HI

THE supreme court of Wisconsin has
rendered its decision in the case of
Thompson ct al VS.. the Franklin In
surance Company of st. Louis. In 1874
bill passed the legislature of this
state which provided that the amount
of insurance written in policy Of in
surance shall be taken and deemed
the true value Of the property at the
time of the loss, and the amount of the
loss sustained, and shall be the measure
of damages This is an important
statute. and it behooves insurance COM
panies to exercise caution in writing
upon property. Thompson and others
sustained loss, and not being able to
settle with the Franklin according to
the statute of 1874, brought suit. 1t
was taken to the supreme court, and
the decision just announced, snstains
the insured. In giving the opinion the
court says:
"The words o, this statute are neither
obscure, doubtful Or ambiguous, as to
their meaning; that in clear and pre-
else terms they make, III case of total
loss Of real property without criminal
fault of the assured, the amount of the
insurance written in the policy the
value Of property Mt the time Of the
loss, and the amount so fixed as to the
measure of damage.
"The court says that the manifest
policy of the statute is to prevent over
insurance and to guard against careless
ness and every inducement to destroy
property in order to procure the in
surance upon it. The supreme court
further says that the policy of the statute
seems to be wise and wholesome,
and that, as it stands, it clearly makes
the amount Of insurance written in the
policy, the measure of the value of
damages. 1t also holds that the meas
ure of damages being thus fixed by the
statute, the company has no right to
show that the assured sustained loss
less than the amount written in the
policy.
But the most important point de-
cided in the case is, that the parties to
the policy cannot by any provision in
