THE COLD SNAP.

PORT JERTIs, N. Y, May 14.-For
the past four nights there has been
heavy frost in this section, and re-
ports from the surrounding country
state that its effects on the surround
ing crops have been very disastrous.
Peaches, pears and grapes are, it is
feared, almost entirely destroyed.
The gardens will have to be replant-
ed. Ice formed last night in many
places.
DIES McINEs, Iowa, May 13.-The
snow storm Of Saturday and the
freezing cold of Saturday night in
iured the grape crop and all young
vegetables ia this region. 1t is
thought the grapes are nearly all
killed, and the chOrry crep is much
injured. Apples were beyond the
reach of injury. Not much corn was
up, and no harm was done to that
crop.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, May 49,
There was heavy frost throughout
this State last night. Considerable

WAR NOTES

A VIENNA correspondent says that in
consequence of the dread of socialism Rus
sia's present policy seems to be to make
peace quickly.
1t is said that England and Russia have
come to preliminary agreement with re-
gard to the terms of the treaty. Count
Schouvaloff is taking to St. Petersburg in
formation relative to the views of Great
Britain which will enable Russia to decide
about the instructions to give her plenipo-
tentiaries
BUCHAREST dispatch says that the exc
cution of the Topola rioters was a cold
blooded murder, intended to terrorize the
ServIan people, and it succeeded in pro-
ducing that effect. The rioters were not
revolutionists. They only made some noisy
public demonstrations against the cabinets
policy in going to war without summoning
the Skuptschina.
GoRTsCHAKoFF is sufficiently recovered
to go to the congress. He will be accom-
companied by Count Schouvaloff and Prince
DOubril, Russian ambassador at Berlin.
The Agence Rasse says the eastern question
will be dealt with in a broad sense, with
the object of reaching a common under
standing, and consolidating the peace of
Europe. The Emperor went to st. Peters
burg to advise with Gortschakolf.
TIE Russians have massed $4,000 men
and 125 guns at Tchorlu, which is a central
position as regards Constantinople, Adrian
ople and Gallipoli.
ALL the cabinets accept the invitation to
the congress to be held in Berlin on the 18th
inst.
4 CoNsTANTINoPLE dispatch says that an
imperial hiatt has been issued appointing
Safvet Pasha, grand vizier and minister of
foreign affairs, vice Ruchdi, and Phosphore
Mustaphi Pasha minister of war vice NAH
mould Damad Pasha. The hiatt recommends
that the ministry maintain tranquility and
security of all classes of citizens and cult
vate friendly relations with foreign powers.
OFFICIAL accounts of the German en-
peror's condition are favorable. Modelling,
the would-be assassin, lies in precarious
state, and it is thought he will not recover
from his self-infiicted wounds.
IN the recent fighting in Roumelia 40
Russians were cut of by Pomaks and all
killed, and 400 more sent to their relief are
in critical position. The Russians are not
relaxing warlike preparations south of the
Balkans; on the contrary, they are very
active.
IT is said that the congress will be COM
posed of the following powers: Bismarck
and Count Won Bulow for Germany; Lords
Beaconsfeld, Salisbury and Odo Russell for
Great Britain; Count Schouvaloff and NJ.
D'Outril, Russian ambassador at Berlin, for
Russia; Count Andrassy and Won Haymerle,
for Austria; Washington and De IPVallier
for France, and Count Corti and Count
De Launay for Italy.
