LONDON, April lG.--The Russians
have occupied Shumln.
A Constantinoplo dispatch says the
trial OF Suleiman pahha has COM
menoed. Condemnation IN regarded
~ extremely probable.
The Times st. Petersburg CORES,
pendent says the English ana Russian
cablnots have had IN amiCable semi,
Official interchange OF views. Both,
however while expressing peaceful
Intentions, adhere TO positions which
threaten war.
The Times Berlin special says that
preparations are making In Russia for
the organization OF general levy.
Passports will only be issued to persons
over forty.siX years of age.
The Vienna correspondent OF the
Times says that according TO Berlin
advices, Germany viii only really Mt
tempt pacific intentions when all IL
prepared on both sides, so as to insure
almost certain success.
The first step IN the direction OF me,
diatlon seems TO have been obtaining
some authority to undertake the task,
and all these preliminary difficulties
seem to be overcome. Those In posi-
ton TO know seem TO have much more
confidence in the meeting OF the con-
gress.
The Times says the feeling of both
masters and men Is becoming stronger.
A meeting of the masters at Bernley,
held last night, resolved to cooperate
in forcing reduction of operatives
wages. The card room hands ut Black.
burn yesterday, after hearing the re-
port of the deputation which inter.
viewed the masters, unanimously res
solved to resist the reduction by the
weavers' association, and advise that
the masters be requested to withdraw
their notices of reduction, when the
weavers would continue work.
The absence of news regarding the
crisis depressed the stock market yes.
terday, and prices oscillated violently
on comparatively slight transactions.
In official quarters and at clubs the
feeling is equally despondent.
Before the adjournment of parlia-
ment for Easter recess the right Hon.
Mr.. Edward Foster, liberal member for
Bradford, will probably ask Sir Stat
ford Northcote, chancellor OF eXches
quer In the house Of commons, for the
latest information concerning the
negotiations.
This mornig's news from st. Peters
burg il not calculated to increase con-
fidence from the fact that the cabinets
of London and ST. Petersburg resorted
to semi. official intercourse, and seems
to indicate that the official expression
would have only intensified their diff
fereucts.
The result of this interchange of
views is not hopeful. Russia is sub
stantially repeating her former answer
and England is reailirming the princi-
Piles she originally laid down. The re-
ports that the Austro. Russian agree
ment was made under pressure from
Prince Bismarck is denied by Count
friends, who declare that
Prince Bismarck's attitude as between
Austria and Russia has been one of
entire neutrality. He, well under.
standing that Austria urged the mini
mum, not the maximum, of her objec-
lions against the treaty of San Stefano; |
and the margin for mediation is ex-
tremely narrow.
