Tne University Race.

LONDON, April 13th.-The follow
ing are additional particulars of
the race to-day: A slight wind
arose just before the start but not
enough TO impede the boats. Both
crews had excellent swing, Cam
bridge the MiddIeseX and Oxford
the Surrey side. Both crews had
Swaddle and Winship boats. The
press boat and the Victoria saloon
steamer, on which was the Prince
of Wales, were kept astern. The
start was effected at 1918. On the
first signal the Oxford crew went
to the front. After having been
behind for mile and two furIongs,
the Cambridge boat became un-
steady and Irregular and there was
nothing worth describing there
after. Barnes Bridge was reached
by the OXfords in Is minutes and
IA seconds. At the finish Oxford
was many lengths ahead and led
Cambridge by 50 seconds and had
been on the way % minutes and II
seconds.
Ehe Eesce Question.
LONDON, April 12th.-At st. Pc
tersburg Gortschakoff' circular is
much discussed. Some consider it
a complete political programme
and worthy of great power.
Others regard it as formal refuta-
ton of Salisbury's accusations.
Some think it is Russis's introduce
ton to negotiations on new
ground. 1t has greatly displeased
those who wish the government to
nail the colors to the mast and
risk all rather than make the
slightest concessions.
Opinion at Berlin continues
skeptical as to the success of the
negotiations. The Nord Deutsche
Zeitung, referring to Germany's
mediation, said the joint appeal of
England and Russia for the good
offices of Germany could have
meaning only if the parties were
willing to make such concessions
as would put out of the question
the possibility of either party chal-
longing the other.
Braitiano, the Roumanian Pre-
mier, returned to Vienna Thursday
OH his way to Bucharest. He had
an interview with Count
Andrassy and Herr Tsza. The
tidings which Braitiano brings
from Berlin are not en-
encouraging. The indications are
that the Gar is bent on having
Bessarabia back and the best thing
the Roumanians can do is to make
the best possible terms about the
compensation they are to receive.
The situation at Constantinople
is still regarded dangerous to peace,
Notwithstanding the protestations
of the Porte. There are intrigues
going on among the Pashas and the
discretion of the Russian COM
mander and of Minister Layard are
doubted. Mehemet Ali and
Moukhtar, Osman, Reouf and Said
Pasha and other Turkish generals
dined with Layard yesterday, The
Greeks and Bulgarians, Roumania
and Thrace are quarrelling about

Turks for support. The atmos-
phere of Constantinople is believed
to be daily becoming more inf am
mable.
