PEACE MAKES PROGRESS.

dency continues to make progress, but it is
only the question of substituting a prelm-
mary conference for the Congress. This
prospect gives much dissatisfaction here.
1t is said that each day that passes is day
lost to Russia and gained for England and
Austria. Prince Gortschakotf's relapse
still continues, and there are grave fears for
his life.

He will probably attend instead of Prince

THE FIRST MEETING AT BERLIN.
PARIS, May 27.-The Journal Des De
bates says that Count Schouvaloffs Jour
ney to st. Petersburg has resulted very sat
isfactorily, and that Russia has consented to
lay the treaty of San Stefano before the
Congress of all the Powers, who have agreed
that the first meeting shall be held at Ber-
lin on the 11th of June.
cLAMoR1NG FOR THE NEWS.
LONDON May 27.-It is now said that
the English Ministry are united and that
rumOrs of dissolution are unfounded. The
official portion of the Russian press is clam
oring to know the exact state of Schouval-
offs mission.
A grand rise in prices of securities is re-
ported on all the European Bourses, conse-
quent on the encouraging outlook of affairs
in the East. Consols have advanced, and
are firm at 81.
LONDON, May G.-Although no official
statement has yet been made it is under
stood to be certain that Count Schouvaloff,
acting upon the lines agreed upon by Prince
Bismarck and himself at AK La Chapelle,
has yielded England's demands. The exul-
tation of the Ministerial party is great, and
it is now believed that the Congress is to be
held at Berlin and that the treaty of
Paris and San Stefano will both
be laid on the table, and that new Conven-
ton, the lines of which are already known
and approved by the three Emperors, as
well as by France, Italy and England, will
be signed. This is the optimist view of the
situation, and it is said that the extreme pc
cuniary embarrassment under which Russia
is suffering made her assent to the terms al
most compulsory. In less hopeful quarters
it is pointed out that the Congress is to
meet merely to ratify what has already been
done.
LONDON, May 27.-In the House of Com
mons this afternoon, irStafford Northcote
replying to question, said he was not yet
in a position to make any definite statement,
but within the last few days the prospect
for an early meeting of the Conference had
materially improved. The announcement
was received with cheers.
In the House of Lords, Lord Salisbury
said that whilst unable to enter into any
details or make any definite statement, he
would confirm the statement made by
Chancellor Northcote.
