honor will raise feeling of resentment
not to be appeased until we have taught
our foe that we have the will and power to
punish chicanery and maintain the empire
which he is seeking to undermine.
A special from Paris says report is
current there that the Russians already
iold port on the Dardanelles.
The Times, in its leader, says: We are
not altogether confident that Prince
Gortschakoff has definitely renounced the
entrance of any Russian troops 10 Constan-
tinople. Rumors were ahoat last night
that some such entrance had already been
made, or was on the point of being made.
At the utmost such occupation could be
only of such nominal character as the Ger
man entrance into Paris. There is, in short
every ground for confidence in the prospect
before us and no solid reason for alarm.
The Times bases its confidence on the
pacific anticipations expressed in the Ger
man Emperor's speech, and deprecates
beforehand any outbuIst of excitement.
Ii Russia were to aim at position in the
East which would damage the just inter-
ests of Austria aud Germany word from
the Emperor William would at once check
her.
The Daily Telegraph says: According to
the latest information from Constantinople
the Russian forces despite the completion
of the preliminaries for peace, are hastily
pushing on to Gallipoli and Constantine
pie. These circumstances serious and
menaciDg in the extreme, will have to be
considered by the ministers iu cabinet
council to day. The issue of their delib-
erations will, in all probability, be, this
evening, communicated to parliament.
The Telegraph is furious in its COM
ments on the course of Russia.
A special dated Paris. midnight, says
the Russian forces are constantly advanc-
ing on GallipoIi and Constantinople.
A special to the Standard from Pesth
announces that the Turkish men of war on
the Danube have been surrendered to
Russia.
A spacial to the Vienna Presse from
Tirnova states that the Turkish men of
war have already left Sulina and Varna.
The Turks have agreed to evacuate Varna.
The Standards Pesth correspondent
says the evacuation has already CON-
menced.
A correspondent at Adrianople relates
an Interview with Server Pasha, who
declared that Turkey had been misled and
encouraged to fight on by promise Of
English support. He particularly accused
Lord Beaconsfeld and Layard of encou--
aging this belief, and said he bad
documents which he would publish. He
declared that he had now become par
tisan of Russian policy and alliance
Server Pashas colleagues at Adrianople
confirmed his statements.
An Athens correspondent says: In con-
sequence of the representation of the
powers Greece seems disposed to stop tht
further advance of her troops. referring

CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless and much depends on the judieious choice
of a remedy. The amount Of testimony in favor Of
DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for Con-
sumption, far exceeds ali that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Sch nck'g Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest respectablity, who
have been restored to health, after being pro-
nounce1 incurablc by physicians of Acknowledged
ability Schenck's Pulmoulc Syrup alone has
cured many. as these evidences will show; but the
cure is often promoted by the employment OF two
other remedies which DR.. schenck provides for the
purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By th'
timely use of these medicines, according to direc
| tions. DR. Schenck certifes that most any case o.
Consumption can be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principa
Office, Corner Sixth and Arch sts., Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must b
addressed.

FOREIGN NEWS.
WAR NEWS.

LONDON, Feb, The Advertiser says:
We have reason to believe that the gov
ernment has received information of the
entry of the Russian army into CONSTANT
nople. At any rate, If the government is
not in possession ct this news, the Russian
Embassy is.
The Post says The Russians are in
Coustantinople. This was news last night
current in London, and we incline to think
it is based upon Official authentic intelli-
eeuoe. The message has come via Alex
andria. We do not know at this moment
what the precise nature of the occupation
is. According to some diplomatists the
Russians have possessed themselves of
two forts in the Bayouk and Chekmedie
lines. According TO others they have
gained still greater advantages. The de-
tails are of small moment. Practically all
are agreed that the capital of Turkey and
kev to the east is in the hands of the Czar.
INDIGNATION will be of little avail. 1t will
be alleged that 20 deception has been
nracticed and we shall discover that this
was one of the terms Of the armistice
which was never communicated to us.
Yesterday British military or naval force
could at any .momehe occupy Constanti'
nopIe. while the Austrian army could cut
the Russian communications. To-day the
situation is entirely altered. A British
fleet can no longer advance to CONSTANT
neple, and may find Itself even barred out
at the Dardaneles. The Car can now
afford to laugh at Austrian menaces, since
