AUSTRIA PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
1t is now known for certain that the
Austrian government yesterday gave orders
for the immediate mobilization OF $4,000
men, so as to be ready for all emergencies.
This is regarded as sure indication that
Austria has little confidence in the Con-
gress, but an explanation may be also found
in the fear OF complications arising from
the attitude Of Roumania and Montenegro.
PETTY ANSoYANcEs.
The Congress is besieged with memorials,
petitions and complaints Of all kinds and in
a most unexpected manner. In the midst
Of these documents some contractors and
spectators contrive to slip in advertise
ments and prospectuses Of various kinds
which thus find their way to the very table
Of the Congress.

During all this time the Turkish Pleni-
potentiaries continue to make calls, but fail
to find any one. They know absolutely
nothing Of what is going on, and are in any
-.

gress should first grapple with the most

GoRTsCHAKoFF's FAILING HEALTH.
Prince Gortschakoff, who was much
shaken by the journey from st. Petersburg
and the excitemant of Thursdays session,
has grown decidedly worse and his con-
dition now gives cause for some anxiety.
THREE WEEKS. MORE on LESS.
At the formal opening of the Congress on
Thursday the plenipotentiaries we're in
court dress, but hereafter they will meet in
ordinary attire. The Congress will cer-
tainly not sit daily, but the time and inter-
walls of adjournment will be left for decision
from day to day. 1t seems to be the general
impression that the Congress will last sew
eral weeks.
THEY WILL NOT WAIT.
The National Zeit1,ag says Prince Bismarck
will leave Berlin in about ten days, and
that neither Lord Beaconsfield nor Prince
Gortschakoff will await the end Of the DELHI
erations. II this be true the final details
will be intrusted to the second and third
plenipotentiaries.

also noticeably amiable to the French en-
voys.

but at Constantinople.

financial commission at Constantinople

scheme apparently receives the support Of
tho Vienna and Berlin Cabinets"
