TERROR AT CONSTANTINOPLE
How the British Ministry Will
Reply to the Liberals.
COTTON MASTERS AND SPINNERS.


In Official circles that ScnOuValOH Journey,
although he received marked imperial favor,
scarcely justifes the hopeful views of the
situation which are systematically impaired
to the public through inspired agencies
WHAT THE PEACE TALK MEANS.
A move toward compromise is proclaimed
rs the watchword of the day, but this is
interpreted by the court party at st. Peters,
burg as temporary attitude bearing
especially on the question Of the surrender
Of the fortresses.
NOT so ENCOURAGING.
The news from ConstanrinOps has a tendency 10
check the optmist conclusions favored by the St
Petersburg kilograms. The former, however, IL
not fully understood or credited. Where it is &c
ceptcd as true the action taken is thought to be
military strategy which VIII be overruled by the
Russian government now that peaceful views pre-
vail.
AN UGLY OUTLOOK.
Although General Todleben's demands for the
evacuation OF Shumla yarna and Batoum, the re-
1noVal Oh the luTkiSH CAMP az Elaidk aHu peTWlS-
sion to occupy Buyukdere co not take the form Of
an ultimatum, they bring a very strong pressure
on the Porte.
WILL NOT BE ATTACKED.
Great excitement and alarm prevail In Con.
stantinope, but the idea OF an attack on the city
forcible occupation Of the shores OF the Bospho-
rus Is discredited by the TACT that Prince Labano,
the Russian Ambassador, had an interview with
tnes Sultan to present his credentials yesterday
and has an appointment TO meet Mr.. Layard, the
British Ambassador, on Tuesday.
THE PORTE CANNOT DO IT.
Other rumors, such as that the Russians have
demanded that the, Porte enforce the withdrawal
Of the British fleet and permit the Russians to
occupy both sides OF the Bospnorus, are clearly
the result Of pane
THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADORS VISIT.

Ambassador ut Constantinople paid q visit to the
Sultan and Sadyk Pacha, President OF the Council,

Pacha, Minister OF Foreign Affairs, was absent.
HEADQUARTERS AT SAN srErANo
The Russian headquarters are still at San Ste.
ialo, but the entire Russian army has moved
nofthward except lew companies
RESULT OF MISUNDERSTANDING.
General Todleben has explained that the sum.
mons to the Turkish commander to surrender
Prndjliko was the result OF misunderstanding.
The foregoing contradcts the report published yes
terday morning OF Russian advance on Constan.
tinople.
COUNTING THE COST.
The Times says that TIE war has already cost
Russia about s5oo,ooo,Ooo.
