English and Russian opinion.

LONDON, May 25.-The Times, refer
ring to the interview of Count Schouvs-
loft, Russian Ambassador, with Lord
Salisbury. Foreign Secretary, and the
subsequent Cabinet Council, expresses
the opinion that there is legitimate
ground for the favorable impression
which everywhere prevails respecting the
results of Count Schouvaloif's mission.
The Journal dc st. PeterS5urg, refer
ring to the INSTANCE Of the London pa
pers on the acceptance by Russia Of the
British formula of submitting the entire
treaty TO the Congress, says: "If there ID
serious desire that the Congress should
meet, and we hope it will meet, the for.
mqla will easily be found. If, unfortu-
nstely, it should not meet, it is not
question of formula which will have pre-
vented it. In very short time the
world will know what TO think about the
matter"
Com issiOn on Line OF DemarcatiOD.
LONDON, May 25.-The Russisn-Turk-
ish Commission, which, it was reported
IN dispatch from Constautlnople, yes.
terday. had failed TO agree upon line Of
demarcation between the Turkish and
Russian forces, consisting Of the Russian
and Turkish corps commanders, appoint
ed at General Todleben's suggestion, ID
fix new line of demarcstlon and make
new regulations for the better pre3ervs-
ton OF peace IN the present dangerous
proximity of the two armies. The Rus
sian and the Turkish soldiers, where the
lines are in contact, fraternze cordially,
and no trouble is apprehended, despite
the failure of the Commission to agree.
But it was thought advisable to have the
lines further apart, and more precise regu-
lations. The health of the Russian troops
Is improving.
Military Activity in Russia.
LONDON, Msy 25.-An American gen.
tleman Just returned from an extensive
tour in Russia, says that 100000 Russians
are moving toward the Galicisn frontier
of Austria The gsrrisions throughout
Poland are moving southwark. Camps
of troops and recruits are noticed at many
points along The railways. Moscow and
ST. Petersburg are full OF troops, and new
levIes are constantly coming forward.
The commisssry department is purchas-
ing heavily of sil kinds Of supplies.
There is great bitterness among the peo.
pie against England.
Result OF SchOuvaIOG's Mission.
PARIS, May 26.-The Journal deS De-
bats says that Schouvalotf's mission led
to the most satisfactory results. Russia
consents TO lay the treaty before Con-
gress, All the powers adhered to this
proposal, and the Congress meets in Ber
lin, June llth.
LONDON, May 26.-The Observer says
that the foregoing is far in advance of the
present position OF the negotiations. The
Observer has reason TO believe that
Schouvalotf is not authorized to propose
forthwith any very comprehensive mod
ifcstions OF the treaty. His proposals,
however, deserve careful consideration,
and may ultimately form the basis of a
settlement, the prospects OF which are
undiminlshed.
Prospects of the Congress.
LONDON, May ga Vienna corre-
spondent Of the Times says the difficulty
about placing the whole treaty before the
Congress seems surmounted by wording
the invitation so as to contain guaran-
tee for the free discussion of the !
whole treaty. Germany will is-
sue the invitation, and thus give |
the guarantee instead OF Russia. The |
pourparlers have begun about the date Of
the meeting; June ElO!h Is proposed
Austria and France have already Gd-
hered to this scheme.
LONDON, May 26.-The Times Paris
correspondent telegraphs; A private
telegram from London states that Eng.
land rejected the detailed concessions
offered by Count Schouvalof, who there
upon declared RuSsia's readiness to sub
NIT all questions OF treaty to the sanction
of the powers. 1t is known that on Sat-
urday Germany was informed OF the
welcome solution, and requested TO i'm
medlstely issue invitation,
A Times leader says: "Whstover may
be the case as to the details, I'VE have rea-
son to believe that our Vienna CORES
pondenn information is well founded |
L
be issued until the eIplanstionsjbetween !
England and Russia are somewhat further
determined, but there is no reason to sp-
prehend failure on such points. The |
preliminary requirements OF England, Al
all events, on the whole, have been con-
coded to, sll the papers that mention the
subject emphaticslly denying that there |
are any dissenslons in the Cabinet.
LONDON, May 26.-The Standard an
nounces that the cabinet met sgam to-
dsy. The Standard ridcUles the reports
in the Journal deS DeJatS fixing defn-
iteIy the date for the assembling Of the |
Congress, although it says that there is
some ground for believing that the main
obstacle to its meeting is disappearing.
A special to the Post from Berlin says
it is reported that Count SchouValof has
telegraphed for full powers.
