The Easscra Situation.
LONDON, March 8O.-All the
Vienna correspondents of London
papers say that Gen. Ignatieff's
mission has failed. A 1In,es's
Vienna correspondent doubts
whether Gen. Ignatieff has the
power and will to alter his map of
Bulgaria so as to suit the views
there; but, should some kind of
agreement be come to about the
map, there will still be o good deal
to be said as to the organization of
the principalities by Russia and its
occupation by $4,000 men for two
years. The desire for an under
standing may be sincere, but views
are so widely divergent it may be
doubted whether this will be easy
of accomplishment.
The Times, in an editorial, says:
Neither the objects Russia pro-
claimed at the outset, nor the
events of the war justified her ad.
vance upon Constantinople, nor her

grafton for her. That forbearance

SIX weeks ago the the man who
desired to sell gold in Los Angeles in
exchange for fifty cent pieces would
have received from four to four and
q half per cent. premium. The
silver bill has since passed. We
were told by the newspapers con-
trolled by the bondholders that the
passage of this bill would have the
effect of driving all the gold out of
the country, raising its premium,
depressing the value Of greenbacks,
impeding resumption and sending
things generally to the "demnition
bow-wows." AS a matter Of fact
we find that, to-day, a man may
peddle gold all around Los Angeles
and fail to receive more than two
per cent. premium for it over sub
sidiary silver. II Congress will
now only supplement its splendid
initial silver legislation by order
ing the recoining of the subsidiary
silver on the basis of 4l24 grains
weight and 900 fineness-the stand
ard of the silver dollar-all our va.
rious currencies will be at par. II
should also, as a coincident wise
and gracious legislative act-one OF
Justice as well as expediency-re'
tire the national bank note issues,
replace that medium of our circu
lation by greenbacks and thus save
the eighteen or twenty million
dollars a year out of which, for ter
or twelve years, the people have
been fleeced as interest on the
bonds deposited as u security TO.

not to the interest of England or
Austria to raise difficulties on this
point. A preliminary conference
of ambassadors at Berlin was sub
mitted by Bismarck and immedi
ateiy declined by England, because
it was useless. In conversation
with the British Ambassador at st

if the Congress made any changes
in the treaty they would be subjec
