date Of the 18th inst. Is 10 be believed,
General Skobelef has thrown another
firebrand among the crowned heads 0f
Europe and rekindled with intensified
heat the well-njgh smothered embers of
war. This time he spoke in st. Peters
burg and before the Russian Omcers'
Club Of that city. 1t Is said his speech
was brief and went straight to the mat
ter upon which the asselnblage wished
to hear him speak. He said he meant
every word he uttered to the students of
Paris, that he was prepared when he
made that speech for the consequences
whatever they may be, and that he was
speaking for all Of Russia. He had, he
said, had . conference with the Gar
since his return, and the whole matter
discussed 1T the conference was the
speech. The Csar endorsed the speech,
every word Of 1t, and never hinted that
any word Of it should have been left un-
said. The Car assured him in this in
terview that he had no desire to have
him either recall q word Of the utter
ance or ~ much as explain word of it.
General Skobeleff, in conclusion, inti-
mated that the Car had assured him
that the only reason why he did not
care to approve of the speech openly was
because Of the dependence of Russia
upon Germany in certain diplomatic re-
lat'Ons which he did not at the present
juncture deem it wise to rupture. These
expressions Of the brave General are
not In harmony with the recently re-
ceived report Of his interview with the
Car. In these reports he IL represent
cd as having trarsgressed the bounds of
in his former speeches and ~
having confessed he was drunk when
he made them. In view of the con-
flicting statements nlade concerning
the General and his speeches it may be
questioned whether they will receive
much attention in Europe or elsewhere. |

that she has merely gratified caprice, and
that she will cast Monsieur Damala, or Da.

husband. She began by discharging hin

and because he rebelled at her merriment
over the unfortunate circumstance. Ht

after the departure OF Hneas. AT Naples
she had most extraordinary series o.
nervous attacks, and some of them lasted
several hours. These did not cease unit
she reached Monaco, where the willy actol
was staying, and where she made peac,
with him, and agreed to marry him forth

has been secured by the house of A, Vogeier

Only in degree. Perhaps it was an ex-
pansion of the same idea"
" Good morning"
Brown and Burroughs did not talk much
on their way back to the city. They seemed
puzzled by what they had seen.
Brown" said Burroughs, at last, as they
turned out of the Park gates, what do you
think of this business, anyway Do you be-

I'm blessed if I know what to say" re-
sponded Brown, as he lit fresh cigar.
These Hamericans are up to heyrythink in

truth. That signaling arrangement they call
heliosta. isn't marker to this. though"
Do you mean that as a Joke? ?" asked
Burroughs, somewhat sternIy.
'Pon honor, no. II you like, we'll drop
the subject. When we get back to London
we'll set those fellows at the Polytechnic to
work to find out al about it."
