A Crisis i'm England.
LONDON, Jan. 5.

LONDON, Jan. b.
The News this morning says all
thoughts of peace have disappeared.
and disruption of the Cabinet is i'm
minent. From the tone of this article,
and other facts and rumors, it is evil
dent that crisis in the English situa-
ton has arrived. There is reason to
believe that the late sessions OF the
Cabinet have resulted in an irreconclia-
Bile division, from which the gravest
consequences may be apprehepded.
One conclusion believed to have been
reached is that a peremptory demand
will at once be made on Russia for the
definition of her intentions, and in case
of her refusal War will be declared
forthwith. There is no reason to think
that Russia will return favorable an
swer to the demand for her terms OF
peace, and then enforced mediation will
follow, and this means armed inter
vention aud war. There is no doubt
that Lord Beaconsfield is backed by the
Queen and majority of the Cabinet,
and that he is relentless in bis deter
mination to force Russia to stop where
she is or preeipitate an armed collision,
The next two or three days are liable
to be the most exciting known here
since the declaration of war. Disraeli
has forced England to point where
war seems almost unavoidabh.
A dispatch from Constantinopie
states that if Russia rejects mediation
Turkey will await the meeting of the
British Parliament before making
direct overtures to Russia.
There is talk in some quarters OF
dissolution OF Parliament In conse-
quenee of the hopeless division IN the
Cabinet. The anh-war agitation
throughout the country is on the in-
crease, bat seems confined pretty close.

cared for here at tue Union Pacific

got no further than Burlington, where
she Was found wandering in the streets.
After a day or two she was taken to
