patch says that Russia has ordered of

Der of locomotives. The same concern
was asked TO furnish three iron bridges,

but the order was declined on account
of scanty time. The same establish

The Times Vienna dispatch from
Constantinople says the peace party is
making strenuous efforts. Ii IL re-
ported they have been Joined by Nah
moud Damod pasha, who has hereto
fore been the mainstay of the war, and
that the peace party have gained
ground considerably, both In palace
and senate.
1t seems probable that Turkey will
consent to make direct overtures to
Russia.
The Times correspondent at Buchar-
est telegraphs rs follows: "Rouman-
ians are becoming very uneasy about
the rumored intention OF Russia to de-
mand the retrocession of the small
strip of Bessarulia coded to Roumania
after the Crimean war"
This would leave Roumania not only
without compensation for the sacrifices
of war, beyond acknowledgement of
her independence, but in fact poorer in
territory, since Austria, 1t is thought,
is likely to object to an extension of
Roumanian territory south of the
Danube.
The Manchester Guardians London
dispatch says: The war party Will en-

the effect has not been so

1t was reported here last night that
The king of Italy, in addressing the
of the Italian parliament at
4 New Years reception, made threat
ening speech, which was interpreted
AZ directed against Turkey or England.
Times Rome special makes no men
ion of such incident, but said the king
alluded to the gravity of the present
tate of Europe, and expressed his
earnest desire to contribute to peace
and recommend concord.
The Standards Rome dispatch says
he king recommended the deputies to
preserve concord and expressed his
hope that they would take care that
the army wanted for nothing, as he
saw stormy horizon around, and II
might be necessary for Italy, which Is
DESTROYS for peace, to so act as to make
herself not only respected but feared,
In case any power should wish to con-
suit its own interest alone.
NoTE-The latter phrase, IL accu-
rately reported, would seem to point
to Russia, but the intimate relations
between Italy and Germany 1t Is
thought precludes such an interpreta'
ion
