LONDON, May 29.-In the house of com
monsb last night the radicals again raised
discussion on Indian troops. The Marquis o
Harrington in speech repudiated them
and left the house when division was called
| for, large number of the liberals accom-
panying him. The majority for the govern
ment on the division was one hundred anc
seventy-four. A supplementary estimate fol-
defraying the cost of the expedition wa!
| passed
1t is said that Russia and England have
accepted invitations to the congress to be hello
| in Berlin.
THE PEACE FEELING NOT QUITE so BUOYAN1
| The peace feeling is not quite SO buoyant as
yesterday. The uneasiness is caused by the
apparent change in the attitude of Austria
While England agrees to the congress, Aus.
/ trla Is making demonstrations unfavorable to
| Russia. No doubt is felt, however, that the
| congress will meet.
PEACE CONGRESS NOTES.
A Berlin correspondent states that formal
| invitations to attend the congress will be is
sued as soon as all the powers have answered
the informal communications in regard to
the date and other particulars of the meet
ing.
ITlnCo DlSHdTCh mas Oeen advised Dy MS
physicians Eot to take an active part IN the
congress, as his personal attendance might
prove too exciting and laborious for him IL
the present condition of his health. It is
probable, however, that he will attend at the
close of the deliberations, and give his formal
sanction to the proceedings.
RUMoRED CHANGES IN THE TURKISH CABI-
NET.
1t was reported in Constantinople yester-
day, simultaneously with the changes in the
government already announced, that Redif
Pasha, former minister Of war and confed-
crate of MabInoud Daoud, will succeed Fuad
Pasha, and that Osman and Muhhtar Pasha8
have been appointed to commands in Asia.
The superseding of Sadik Pasba, chief of the
ministry, by Rushdi Pasha, and the desgna-
ton of the latter as grand vizier, is dis
tinctly reactionary step. Rushdi, however,
is an advocate Of peace.
AUsTRIA's MOVEMENTS CREATING UNEAsI-
NESS.
The only unpleasant feature of the morn
ing S news Is in the direction of Austria, for
although Count Andrassy had been all along
persstently In favor of European settlement
In the congress, his utterances and Austria's
preparations are creating uneasiress. The
st. Petersburg unofficial press is still inored-
ulous about peace, and points out that, while
Austria and Russia were making prepara-
tons to that end, England brought troops
from India. Now England accepts the con-
gress, and Austria is making demonstra-
ton threatening to Russia. These feelings are
not entirely unwarranted, even if judged
by some of the points of Count AndrfIssy's
speech to the delegation yesterday. He said
that certain military preparations were n,,ces-
sary because even if the congress led to an
European understanding complications might
afterward arise lmperlllng Austria S par
ticular interests. Then, again, the congress
might fail, when Austria must be prepared
to look the facts in the face. AS to the actual
employment of the sixty millions credit al
ready voted, Count Andrassys explana-
ton was extremely meager, but from
other sources it is gathered that the
fourth army corps Is concentrating IN OSal-
acia, Eastern Pennsylvania and Dalmatia.
The iron clad squadron has been ordered to-
the coasts of Albania and Macedonia. The
military occupation OF the line of the Orsova
railway is in progress, and the occupation
and fortifcation of the Carpathian passes
are accomplished facts. Great activity pre-
walls on the Dalmatian frontier. General
Rodick has gone to Macarsca to inspect the
strategetical points on the road leading into
Herzegovina. Count Andrassy undoubtedly
regards the separate Anglo Russian negotia-
tions with uneasiness.
The semi-ofticial newspapers Of Vienna
throw out sarcastic hints that the congress
will have no work left for it except to pass
upon Austria g interests. The Russian semi
Official press has not heretofore taken notice
of Austria's uneasiness, except that the
Agence Russe and the Journal de st. Peters,
burg stated that the powers had agreed to
the occupation of Ada Kaleh, and that no in
ference might be drawn from this fact in the
direction of Austria 8 occupation of Bosnia,
which Is regarded as a strong hint that Rus
sia would not sanction the latter measure
The Berlin journals, however, are full of
sarcastic criticism of Austria s position. They
say that the occupation of Ada Kaleh is all
that Austria could do to remind Russia of her
claims while the Russo-Epgllsh agreement
was perfecting for the protection of Russian
and English interests. Austria, therefore,
seems unable longer to effectually take care
of her own and German interests In the east.
The seml-otficial North German Gazette does
not adopt this tone. On the contrary, it adj
vocates the formation OF independent princi-
palities out of Turkeys European provinces,
under a direct Austrian protectorate. The
relations of the North German Gazette with
Prince Bismarck causes attention to be drawn
to this suggestion.
THE PROGRAMME OF THE CONGRESS-.
A telegram from st. Petersburg gives the
following as the programme of the congress:
The congress will, Immediately upon meeting
at Berlin, determine the basis of the treaty Of
peace and the negotiations concerning its ex-
ecution. 1t will organize several local COM
missions to define boundaries, etc., the COM
missions being appointed and instructed by
conference OF the ambassadors resident at
Constantinople. 1t is expected that the ses-
sion of the congress will be short.
THE TIMES URGES A BRITISH PRoTECToRATE
FOR TURKEY -IN-ASIA.
The Times continues to dwell on the ne
cessity of a British protectorate for Turkey
in Asia. The Pail Mall Gazette now takes
the same ground, arguing that such protec-
torate was absolutely necessary IN the inter
est of future peace. The Gazette has hitherto
rejected every Infringement on Turkish inde-
pendence.
COUNT sCHOUvALOFF.
1t ia stated that Count Schouvaloff had
long interview with Lord Salisbury yester
day, at which he submitted Russia's answer
to the points raised by England touching the
congress, and the final understanding reached
during last weeks negotiations
Vienna.
VIENNA, May 29.-Count Andrassy, reca-
pitulating to the Austrian delegation, to-day,
the points of treaty which had been brought
to the notice of Russia and the powers as
chiefly affecting Austrian interests, said that
as regarded the extension of Bulgaria, the
development of christian peoples in the east
was not prejudIcial to Austria or Europe, but
the establishment of State destitute OF
condition of peaceful existence, and which
might Cypress other nationalities, was quite
another thing. Turkey should be preserved
in what renamed to her after settlement
The two years occupation of Bulgaria was
too long, and the extension OF Servla and
Montenegro should be so arranged as not to
interfere with Austria's natural communica-
ton with the east.
