RUSSIA'S REPLY TO a CON-
FERENCE.
A Scene After Victor Emmanuel's
Funeral.
Recall of Troops from Thessaly and
EpiruS.

LONDON, Feb. IL.
A telegram from Vienna says: The
further reply from Russia to the Aus
TRAN invitation to a Conference, which
was expected to come by messenger by
Saturday, has been received. 1t shows
that it is the intention OF Russia not to
permit the discussion of certain points
in the preliminary conditions. In
spite of these reservations, it is consid-
cred certain, in Austrian official circles,
that the Conference will meet, although
the same confidence does not exist to a
satisfactory result.
A Constantinople dispatch says the
rumors that the peace preliminaries
contain secret clauses relative to the
straits, the limits Of Bulgaria, and an
alliance between Russia and Turkey,
are denied, although it is understood
that a majority of the Turkish Minis.
try favor an alliance.
A dispatch from CoDstantinople of
the 10th says: 1t is reported that the
Sultan has invited Grand Duke Mich
olas to spend a few days in CONSTANT
nople.
Safet and Sadyk Pasha will go to
A~ndrianople OF tuesday, to negotiate
a treaty OF peace with Generals Ig-

FLORENCE, Feb. IL.
After the funeral service for King
Victor Emanuel, on Saturday, an Or
SIM bombshell was thrown among the
retiring crowd, and five persons were
slightly injured. The police with great
difficulty prevented the lynching OF
the person who threw the bomb, who
probably is insane.
CAPE Town, Feb. IL.
A general advance was made against
the enemy on January 18th, which
was completely successful. Ten thou
sand cattle and $4,000 sheep were cap
tured. The Kaffirs lost heavily. The
Transkei is completely cleared of the
enemy.
ATHENS, Feb. IL.
The recall of troops from Thesssly
and Epirus has caused much public
indignation. The Government con-
siders the situation still critical, and
has ordered arms and ammunition
sufficient for $4,000 men. The Mobile
Guard Is to DO raised to IA, 900 men.
