OPPOSITION TO sCHoUvALoFF.
LONDON, May GA st. Petersburg cor
respondent says more serious danger than the
protests of the extreme section of the press
against Russian concessions is the strong oppo-
sition against Count Schouvaloff in the higher
official spheres. This opposition has been
active for some weeks, but as yet has
had little success. In this connection strong
presumably peaceful significance is attached to
Gen. Ignatieff' departure for his estates. The
Journal de st. Petersburg publishes very
peaceful article deprecating unfavorable infer
ences being drawn from Australian occupation
of Odakolet.
DIFFICULTY.
A Paris correspondent teleg-aphs the guarded
nature of Sir Stafford Northcote's statement
made in the House of Commons on Monday,
has produced almost CONSERVATION here. The
correspondent points out that the question is can
England be content with the treaty being
placed before the congress by Germany, as
Russia not placing it herself amounts to
tacit protest against the principle maintained
by England. It is not thought, however, that
the difficulty is unsurmountable.
WHAT RUSSIA COMEDIES.
The Daily Telegraph in its leading article
says te-day The cabinet council will decide
upon instructions to the British representative
| at the congress-. According to an understand
ing with Count Schouvaloff, Bulgaria has been
reduced to less than half the size first proposed.
Russia has already admitted large limitations
in Asia, and arrangements are in view to get
rid of the indemnity entirely.
QUIET1NG DOWN 1T coNsrANT1NoPLE.
LoNDN, May ga fairs at Constantinople
begin to look less da1 gerous. The advance of
Russian cavalry to pirinji, which the Turks
understand to be an attempt to seize Tyrgos
with view of commanding the road to KAYAK,
is disavowed by Gen. Todleben. Gen.
Schouvaloff, who ordered the occupation of
Pirinji is declared to have exceeded his authori-
ty and committed an indiscretion. The Rus
slams have withdrawn from Pirinji and Gen.
Todleben is said to be exceedingly careful to
| prevent anything at this moment which would
cause suspicion or create irritation. The with
drawal from Pirinji and news from the
| European capitals have SO relieved the previous
| tension that little fear is now entertained of
| an accidental collision. Both the Russian and
Turkish officers are INDUCING in pleasure ex-
cursions. The work of preparing Notifications
| is greatly relaxed.
SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
| LONDON, May 28.-A Paris correspondent points
out that the French government received early
information of the peaceful tendency of nego-
tiations from Berlin, and dwells on the three
fold significance Of this fact. Firstly, It shows
that Prince Bismarck has really contributed to
| the success of Count Schouvaloffs mission and
meeting of the congress, and that is consider
able step towards the conclusion of peace.
Second, That the relations between Germany
! and France have entered phase which in it
self constituted considerable element Of
peace, and lastly, how happy has been the Sc
1ook &c V<>lSn TO- ~ ,n
at Berlin, and how his cooperation with M.
Washington has contributed to the peaceful
| policy.
BISMARCK DID IT.
| Vienna correspondent also remarks that but
for Prince Bismarck the congress might at one
| time have been convened without England,
| which would have been worse than no congress
at all. This correspondent asserts that the
form of the present invitations which brings
! the treaty of San Stefano before the congress
without necessitating any humiliation to Rus
! STA or risk for England, was suggested to Count
Schouvalof when at FREDERICKSBURG on his way
to st. Petersburg. The purport of the invita-
! tions is that the congress meet at Berlin and
discuss the treaty of San Stefano. Germany
| by the fact of issuing the invitations becomes
guarantee that the whole treaty will be sub
mittcd for discussion.
| WHY HE RETURNED.
| dispatch from Constantinople gives the
following explanation of the return of Nah
mond Damad Pasha to the Turkish ministry
The attempt of Abb Suavi to proclaim the re-
storation of Murad to the throne SO revived the
nervousness of Sultan Hamid about conspir-
acies that Mahmoud Damad was called to the
palace and appointed Seraskur. The Sultan
felt, no matter how incapable Mahmoud may
have been, and how much harm his intrigues
may have done, he Is sure Of the Damad's per-
sonal devotion. The Sultan naturally wished
to be surrounded by those whom he is certain
are not conspiring against him.
EMPEROR WILLIAM.
BERLIN, May 28.-The departure of Emperor
Frederick William for Ems has been deferred
in view of the probable assembling of the
| congress.
AUSTRIA AT IT AGAIN.

garian delegation will meet this evening whe1

ton of the governments motives for awaiting
themselves of the sixty million credit. 1t il
expected he will state that Austria only prefer
to take defensive and preventive measures
The treaty of San StefanO contains severa
articles affecting Austrian interests. These i
is hoped the congress will modify in a name
favorable to Austria, but nevertheless it i
necessary she should prepare for all eventu
!: alities.
AUSTRIA ON THE DEFENSIVE.
VIENNA, May 28.-Count Andrassy to-day in
formed the delegations that the monarchy coul'
not allow itself to occupy position of mora
independence upon other powers. The militar
, preparations were necessary, because if tn
! congress-, of the assembling of which there wa
near prospect should lead to European
, understanding, the moment would have com
, for changes in all the frontier relations whic
7 might cause complications. The government
desired to strengthen the force
in Dalmatia and Pennsylvania, t
, strengthen few defensive positions, an
. secure lines of communication in the event Q
, military concentration. It would strive flo
, the maintenance of peace and resolutely de
fend both European and special interests.
