| THE WAR VOTE.
| LONDON, Jan. 30-In the House of Commons
| Mr.. Prim, conservative member for Gravesend,
gave notice that he would move tomorrow that
the House, while giving the government due
credit for maintaining the policy determined
upon, after the solemn assurances of the Car
that he desired only immunity for the christian
subjects of the Porte, and aimed at no aggran-
| dizement whatever, is of opinion that these as
surances are being deliberately evaded by the
| proposed terms of peace and the advance of
Russian arms, and believes the time has come
| when immediate action of England is an abso-
| lutte necessity, and requests forthwith esti-
mates for placing the army and navy on a war
| footing. Mr.. Prim represents strong Turco-
philosection of the House.
! AUSTRIA MAKING TROUBLE.
| 1t is stated that Austria has declined to COM
NIT herself to joint action with England unless
she is previously assured the British ministry is
! safe against the assaults of the opposition,
which might leave Austria isolated at later
stage, and that the ministry intend the pending
vote to furnish the requisite guarantee. II the
| ministry obtain large majority very import
ant European combination will appear.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 3O-A telegram from Vienna
confirms the report that Austria has addressed
a note to Russia resolutely upholding the inter
ests of Austria and Europe. The note already
forms the subject of general diplomatic pour
fGrlez.
GIADsToNE's APPEAL.
LONDON, Jan. 3d. Gladstone, in delivering
an address to liberal association at Oxford to-
day said he considered the sending of feet
ntr, tho 10 ri ,nallaa of war n breach of
neutrality. The vote of six millions you'd be
taken by Turkey as an encouragement to pro-
long the war. He feared the vote would be
carried by the failure Of the Irish members to
oppose it, though he hoped, for Ireland's
honor, those who had themselves been strug-
Cling for freedom, would respect and sympa-
| thize with the freedom of others. He said the
liberals were in minority in the House of
Commons, but they had the country with them
| on this question. It rested with the country
to say whether it would incur the burden of
this vote and encourage Turkey to persevere IN
| prolonging the cruel and bloody struggle which
has already brought her well nigh to destruc-
ton.
| sERv1A's DEMANDS.
LONDON, Jan. 3O.--The Vienna P,'esse says
''Servia demands as conditions of peace, all old
Servia except that part comprised in Bosnia,
| one hundred and fifty Thousand Turkish pounds
| war indemnity, and the immediate appoint
ment Of special commission to examine the
\ respective claims of Roumania and Servia to
| the pashalic of Widdin.
SUFFERING IN CoNsTANT1NopLE.
The central committee of the Red Crescent
Society telegraphs from Constantinople an ap-
peal to all kindred committees of the Red
Cross, all benevolent institutions and all kind
hearted men of all countries. It says consid-
cradle number of wounded soldiers are hocking
! into Constantineple fssn all parts of the .coun
/ try. Nearly fifteen thousand refugees, victims
of the war, flying from the scene of military
operations, deprived Of all means of existence
and almost naked, constitute situation which,
considering the limited resources of the Red
Crescent Society, might end in disaster-in a
general calamity. Smallpox and typhus have
commenced among the refugees, and efforts are
making to send them to Asia. 1t is appre-
hended that the increased population of Con
| stantinop1e will occasion a scarcity of prOvls-
ions, unless there is some special effort from
without to replenish the stores. Eight thou
sand refugees arrived Monday. 1t is impossi-
BILE for all to find shelter. Many huddled
in open sheds, knee deep in mud and water.
The wholesale exodus from Roumelia is una
bated.,
