The Expected Conference-Rus-
sian Objection to Vienna.
ROUMANIA, SERVIA AND GREECE.

Ine Advertiser says 1--WE have reason to
believe that the government has received
information of the entry of the Russian
army into Constantinople. At any rate, if
the government is not in possession of this
news the Russian Embassy is"
frrs sncr rs IT POSSIBLE?
Nothing has transpired lately tending to
show that such an event is probable, and
although the Advertiser gives the news very
positively the report seems utterly incredi-
BILE. Direct telegraphic communication
with Constantinople is still interrupted
BASED UPON OFFICIAL MTRLLIarNcE.
The Morning Post says:-''The Russians
ire in Constantinople. This was the news
last night current in London, and we in

authentic intelligence. The message has
come via Alexand dria."
HANDS,"
''We do not know at this moment what the
precise nature Of the occupation is Ac-
cording to some diplomatists the Russians
have possessed themselves of two forts in
the Boyouk and Chekmedje lines. Accord
ing to others they have gained still greater
advantages Details are of small moment.
Practically, all are agreed that the capital
of Turkey and the key Of the East is in the
hands of the Gear. ~"
BRITISH INDIGNATION USELESS. et-s
Indignation will be of little avail. It
will be alleged that no deception has been
practised, and we shall discover that this
was one of the terms Of the armistice which
was never communicated to us.
THE ENGLISH FLEET BARRED OUT
Yesterday British military and naval
force could at any moment occupy Con-
stantinople, while the Austrian army could
cut the Russian Communications. To-day
the situation is entirely altered The Brit
ish feet can no longer advance to Con-
stantinople, and may find itself even barred
out at the Dardanelles.
THE GEAR MASTER OF THE SITUATION
"The Gar can now afford 10 laugh at
Austrian menaces since his communica-

Odessa or Sebastopol.

sour pottering over q trumpery six
millions will probably cost us ten times
that sum but, whatever the cost, it is still
to be hoped that the country will see its
honor vindicated. This direct attack upon
our honor will raise a feeling of resentment
not to be appeased until we shall have
taught our foe that we have the will and
power to punish chicanery and maintain
the Empire which he is seeking to under

GOOD AUTHORITY.
The Post is generally believed to have
good sources Of information. As it is the
aristocratic conservative organ it has proba-
bly, received the information from high
diplomatic authority.
is IT A NOMINAL occupATIoNS
The Times in Its leader says:-"we are not alto
getner confident that Prince Gortschakor
has definitely renounced the entrance
OF any Russian troops into ConstantInople.
Rumors were anoat last night that some
such entrance had already been made or was ON
the point Of being made. At the utmost such occu
patton could be only of such q nominal character
as the German entrance into Paris. There is. IN
short, every apparent ground for confidence in the
prospect before Us and no solid reason for darn. "
THE TINES CONFIDENCE IN EMPEROR WILLIAM.
The Times bases Its confidence on the
Emperor's speech and deprecates beforehand
any outburst OF excitement. II Russia were
to aim at a position in the East which would
damage the just interests OF Austria ana Germany
check her.
WHAT WILL THE ENGLISH CABINET sAyY
The Ddtly telegraph says:--"According to the
latest Information from tantinople the Russian
forces, despite the completion of the prelimnaries
ol peace are hastily pushing on to Galipoli and
Constanunople. These circumstances, serious and
menaclng in the extreme win have TO be consid-
cred by the Ministers in Cabinet Council to-day
