Baden-Baden.
The Peace Congress.

ers, including Russia, have assented to q
Congress at Baden Baden. The Political
Correspondence OF Vienna says: "The
negotiations were only delayed by the
sudden acuteness Of the relations of Eng
land and Russia. The Car and Sultan
are actively engaged in exchanging per.
sonal and friendly dispatches. 1t is
expected peace will be signed
by the time the Congress meets,
namely, in two or three weeks.
Russians will not Occupy Constanii-
nople.
NEW YORK, February l6.-A dispatch
from London says it is authoritlvely said
that in consequence OF the representa-
ticns made by Austria backed by Ger
many, the Czsr OF Russia has abandoned
the idea of occupying Constsntinople.
The Situation in and Around Con-
stantinOpIe.
PERA, February l6.--It is generally
expected that the Grand Duke Nicholas
will enter Constsntinople with portion
of his army, but will come as
the guest and friend of the nation,
with the consent of the Sui
tan. The Russians, considering this,
will give England no cas'lS JeLti, espe-
cIslly as her ships are near the capital
against the express wish of the Sultan
and the Porte.
The Feeling I'm the Russian Army.
In the Russian camp q renewal of hos.
tllities is discussed as more probable than
peace, ard every measure is being
adopted TO consolidate the Russian sd.
vance. The entrance of the British feet
into the Dardsnel!es before the conclu-
sion OF the armistice would have been
answered, it is unhesitstingly said, by
Russian declaration of war, but whether
such would now be the case is doubtful.
War with England would be very popu-
lar with the army, though officers speak
Of il grsvely, as terrible struggle. "ln
this state OF feeling, if we have to begin
again" say Russian officers, nothing
could save Constsntinople from Us, ard
We would not leave one stone upon an.
other"
HThe British Fleet Moves OF.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, February l6.-Tho

danis Bay, forty miles south OF Constan.

a. NOT 10 occupy GaiIipoIi.
ST. PETERSBURG, February l6.-The
Agence Russo says: Orders have been
sent 10 the Russian headquarters not to
occupy Gallipoli.
No Cause for UnpIensanIness.
LONDON, February l6.-The Times to-
day is very pacific. 1t says: at will be
due to some gratuitlous mismsnagement
il the relative position OF England and
Russia near Constsntinople leads TO any
misunderstanding. Our own govern
ment may be trusted to act With COM
bined moderation and frmness. If the
Russians are reasonably prudent there is
no reason why the Powers should not
enter peacefully lnto the conference"
The situation sIiII Considered Grave.
A Vienna telegram says: "Notwith-
standing the prospect OF the Congress
the situation Is etill considered grave"
It is rumored that England has made
overtures for sn understanding and ar
raugement with Austria. The latter is
negotiating loan with the Rothchids.
Xot Altogether Satisfied with the
Turn Affairs Have Taken.
BERLIN, February lG.-Not only is 1t
unlikely that Germany will undertake
the part of arbi.er by declaring against
any Power attempting TO interfere with
Russia, but the indications are that the
Russisa action is regarded here as at va
rlance with the understood programme
namely, the liberation OF the Christians
and nothing more. The Interpolation
on the Eastern question comes on IN the
Reichstag. Tuesday.
PrOpoNal for the United States TO
Participate In the Conference.
LONDON, February 1.-THE OJserUer
believes that Russis hss represented 10
England that the United States, as q
great maritime power, should participate
IN the Congress. England has not OBJ.
iected but has taken advantage OF the
proposal TO sIgges. that Greece also be
allowed to take par: ii the Congress.
