Lord SaItsbury.s Ctreutnr.

IoNpoN, April 4-The full text of Lord Sal
isbary's circular had not reached 81. Peters
burg or Vienna yesterday evening, but iudg-
ments ont Geographic summaries thereof show
that its tenor is very well understood. Al ST
Petersburg il is regarded as proof that the
congress could not have succeeded IL IL had
met in the spirit OF this circular. At Vienna
the effect Is so satisfactory as 10 almost com
pensate for the failure of the congress negotia-
lions. This effect Is said 10 be heightened by
the fact that the public mind was wholly un-
prepared for Such broad views on the part of
Ehgland. Though the cabinets may have un-
deIst9od each other, the Austrians believed
that England would only object 10 such specific
articles OF the treaty as affected the interests
she reserved at the outset, leaving Austria TO
lake take care OF her own; Lord Saliseury's objec-
tlonS To the treaty fully embrace those uf Aus
ira and establish community of interest,
which has long been felt 10 exist, but which Is
only now brought clearly before the public.
Austria now awaits the effect Of the English
and her own communications at st. Peters
purg. AT Vienna, IL is said, there is every
disposition TO facilitate the transformation OF
lhe treaty In European sense, and 10 show
every consideration for Russia. But the gov
ernment al st. Petersburg must know by this
time that To satisfy Austria the transior-
Berlin there are two voices. The Russian
party reiterate that the possibility of a bargain
between Russia and Austria Is still open, and
mat General lgnatieti is not dissatisfied with
the results of his mission 10 Vienna. though it
Is admitted from st. Petersburg that this
satisfaction Is not shared by his colleagues.

lnslcate any change i'm Germany'S policy on

suggested.

they can in the premises and make personal
appeal before the committee in their behalf.

THE ASSASSINATION OF THE EARL OF LEI
TRIM and his clerk and driver is attributed to
the Riband Society, which is very strong in
the county Derry, Ireland, owing mainly to
iron will, which disregarded appeals or
menaces. Though kind and liberal to the
poor, he was very particular, and exacting in
sparing severity every violation of the rules
for the government of the estate He had
lately turned a great many of his tenants out
OF their houses to convert the property into
grass farms. 1t is supposed the Earl was first
shot by the aSsassins, who were concealed be-
hind an embankment, and that the clerk and
driver were murdered so that there might be
derers We're discovered by the Earl's valet,
who was driving about mile behind the car
containing the Earl. The driver was alive
when he came up but unconscious, and he
died without saying word. The aSSaSsins
are supposed to have escaped across MulrOy
Bay in a boat.

Is MADAME .REsTELL DEAD?-Some wild
stories were circulated in the city yesterday
i'll regard to Madame ReStell. One was to the
effect that the woman was not dead, but in
Canada, or on her way to Europe. 1t was said
that the dead woman found in Madame Res
tells batktub on Monday morning was one of
her patients who had died on her hands. The
madame had made and recorded her will, and
done everything to deceive the public. It was
said that neither Coroner Woltman, Deputy
Coroner CuShman, who made the autopsy, nor
the jury who sat at the inquest, knew the
madame well enough to identity her. and that
no real identification could have taken place.
1t was urged that no one besides the above
named officials were allowed to see the de-
ceased. and that her corpse was carefully con-
cealed and buried with the greatest secresy.
Another story was that Madame Restell was
murdered through the instigatiOn or wealthy
people who had patrOniZed her in her criminal
business, in order to prevent disclosures which
they deemed inevitable at her trial. Notwith-
standing the wild and visionary nature of
these rumors, they have many believers. The
coroners and police ridicule the stories and
pronounce them the inventions of a diseased
