THE SITUATION.

A well informed ST. Petersburg cor
respondent states that Russia will moi
allow interference with the points OF the
war indemnity, Armenia and Besarabia
A Berlin despatch reports that Chins
has asked Russia to evacuate Kuldscha
1t is said that some Chinese officers, who
are studying in Europe, have been order
ed home.
A Paris correspondent states that the
proposal to convene preliminary con-
ference to settle programme for the
Congress has been generally coldly re-
ceived as unnecessary.
The Servian Shumadia corps on the
10Th inst. made demonstration at Bel
grade against the peace conditions and
reoccupied Vrapja. declaring that it will
not leave it unless forced to do 80.
A Vienna correspondent states: "All
the Powers agree that Greece can not
we'll be admitted to the Congress on the
same footing as the signatory Powers,
but she should be consulted in all mat
ters concerning the interests OF the
Greek race"
A despatch to Lloyd's from Galatz
SAYS: Several sailing ship, tugs and
lighters have passed up and down the
Danube safely. The torpedoes are buoy
ed, but are not all removed. 1t is re-
ported that the river will be officially
opened on Thursday" :"
The Times says: s.The latest phase of
the difference between Russia and Eng.
land seems to be that Russia, while ad-
mitting the right of the Congress to dis
cuss all the points of the treaty, declines
to be ultimately bound by the decision
of msjority Of the Powers"
A letter to the Vienna Political Cor.
respondenee from St Petersburg, states
that Russia is not disposed to comply
with the imperative orders given to her
by England before the opening of the
Congress. England's course would only
render the meeting of the Congress nu-
gatory.
A special despatch to the Times from
Berlin says: "The Russians are con.
structing railway from Bourgas to
Jamboli. As Jamboliis connected with
Adrianople by rail the new line will en-.
able the Russians to send troops from
Odessa direct to Central and Southern
Bulgaria and the Egean Sea-"
Advices from Vienna, published in
Paris, state that England has refused to
take part even in the preliminary con
ference OF ambassadors until Russia
has given formal engagement that all
the clauses of the treaty will be sub
mitted to the Congress. Prince Gorts.
chakoff, in reply, merely reiterated his
promise that the full treaty will be COM
municatei to the Powers.

The following further particulars re-
garding the murder of the three persons
on Long Drain Rum, on the 10Th inst (,
have been learned:
1t appears that Mrs. George Wallace
alias George Bakery was induced by
John Wallace to come to his John Wal
lace's) house under the impression that
John Wallace's wife was very sick, and
from circumstantial evidence John Wal
lace must have made improper advances
toward her, to which Mrs Baker object
ed To avoid his brutal intentions and
to save herself she ran to the woods -
Footprints SHOW that she must have been
rapidly pursued by John Wallace, as the
footprints in the ground correspond with
the size and nails in his boots. She was
pursued nearly half mile down the hill,
and the leaps made we're from four to
six feet each. She was trying to get to
her sisters house.
