OF the mornings news Is in the direction
Of Austria, for although Count Andrassy
has been all along persistently In favor Of

RUSSIAN PRESS IsoREDULous ABOUT
PEACE.
The ST. Petersburg unofficial press Is
still incredulous about peace and points
out that while Austria and Russia were
making negotiations to that end England
brought troops from India, now England
accepts the Congress and Austria Is max.
iug demonstrations threatening to Rus.

to the delegations yesterday. He said
that certain military preparations were
necessary, because, even il the Congress

complications might afterwards arise
