The Bugapoo War storyfrom London.

The Bugaboo War Story from Lonoon.
LONDON, March 10.-A despatch from New
York in this mornings Standard says That re-
ports of an impending European war, tele-
graphed hence, are affecting the American
markets. There is nothing known here to JUS
tify such reports. Gen. Skobeloffs speech eaus-
ed upeasiness by directing attention to the
points of difference existing between the Aus
trian and Russian policies, and this mas gwen
occasion for various sensational kilograms from
the continental capital and from the East, such
for example as the report in the Times yester-
day concerning the apprehenslonS OF war Ielt
by the palace party at Constantinopie, but
there is no new fact developed SINCE tne speech
of Gen. Skobeloff pointing to the hkehhood of
a disturbance On the contrary there are signs
of subsistence of the tension to which the
speech gave rise. One OF these is the lmpend-
ing appointment of an Austrian Ambassador
in place of Count Kalnoky at 81; Fetersourg,
and another, the announcement that the Rus
sian Grand Duke Vladimir will shortly pass
through Vienna, completed with seml-otficial
denial bv Austria that he is not instructed with
any mission because, considering Ihe uncloud-
ed relations between Austria ana hussia, none
such is required. The prompt and cordial rec
ignition of the Servian Kingdom by Austria ia
considered to show that the Austrians have
satisfactory assurances that hlng Milan Is not
inclined to favor Pan-Slayist lntrigues. The
principal danger of complications Detween Rus
STA and Austria as explained by 20. K" in a
recent letter from Moscow, would arise from
Austria becoming embroiled with Montenegro
and Servia. The possibility OF such an en-
broilment is becoming less, as Notwithstanding
the conflicting accounts, the Austrians appear
to be getting the better of the insurrectien by
system of combined movements. The taking
of Ubli is one of these means by which troops
starting respectively from Casteluuovo and
Cattar are hemming in the Crivoscians, cut
ting them off on Que side from the Monte
negrin frontier and on the other from Herze-
govina.

Queen Victoria's Assailant Arraigned.
LONDON, March 10.-MacLean, the Queens
assailant, has been committed for trial on the
charge of high treason. MacLean, on being
arraigned, said he would reserve his defence.
He declined to cfosc examine witnesses. his
interests were watched by solicitor. The evl-
denee was merely repetition of what is al
ready known. 1t confirmed the statement that
his pistol was sufficiently elevated when he
aimed for the ball to have struck her majesty.
Previous to committal of MaoLean the Treac-
ury Solicitor stated that he is prifoG fdcie sane
and that the magistrate had no authority to in
auire into the state of his mind. 1t appears
highly improbable that the charge of high trea-
son is advanced with view to obtaining the
death penalty. MacLean laughed several
times at the evidence given by the Elton Col
lege students.
