LONDON, March ga Constantinople
dispatch to The Times says: It is feared
in official circles that war between Russia
and Austria is inevitable. The question
Of calling out the reserve is being serious
" discussed. 1t has at least been decid-
"a IA principle that some preparatory
measures should be taken. Exaggerat-
ed approximations of the palace party
cause them to look favorably on rap
prochement with Austria.
Gen. Ignatieff. the prominent advocate
OF Pan-Slayist war with Austria, has
offered his resignation to tie Gar. The
latter has refused to accept the resigna-
tion, fearing to offend the Pan-Slavist
party, who are the sole support of the
Government, and without whom the
Government would be unable to protect
itself. The Berlin Bourse feels inclined
to interpret this news as an indication
that the Russian war party is in the as
cendant. The condition of affairs con-
tinues to be very strained, and further
developments are awaited with great anx-

There has been to day sudden and
what appears as promising to be an
alarming fall in the price of nearly all the

was not aware lie was furthering news

editor OF La france, Camille Farcy,
whom he had known of old. The ad-
dress of Seryian students was due, if not
to the pen, at least to the collaboration
of Farcy. 1t had been prepared some 4
days when he Skobeleffl arrived in
Paris. His reply was as frank and I'M
reserved as was to be expected from a
man who did not suppose his word would
be made public. He had said nothing,
however, that was not whispered by
ev5ry one in Russia, even among the en-
tourage OF tie Emperor. No one was
moro astonished than lie Skobeleffl was
at the excitement his speech caused.
Everyone sought to turn it to account.
but more especially the party which is
seeking to return TO power in France.
Even Madame Adam took hand in it to
crafty her personal hatred against Bis
marck, who had insulted her as woman
in the journals he controls. Thus his
socalled speech was printed on fiy-sheets
aud sent to the regiments and feet. He
