The Anglo-Russian Situation
Unchanged.
General Statement of the Situation.

LONDON, May 9.-Thc continued
uncertainty of the political aspect
tends to restrict the amount of bust
ness done on the Stock Exchange,
with the result that each small trans
action exercises a disproportionatc
effect on prices. The greatest ankle
ty is felt about the result of the vote
of credit which will come up i'll the
House of Commons on Monday, al
though it is unlikely that the result
will be adverse to the Ministry, es-
pecially if Lord Hartington's state
ment of the Soudan policy proves
satisfactory to the Liberals.
The current rumors of the resigna-
ton of the Earl of Duflerin arise
from the inference that he disagrees
with the Governments policy and
the fact that Duflcrin accepted his
position with the understanding that
he was 10 take the full responsibility
of the Government in India.
1t is rumored that the Russian dis
patch by courier differs somewhat
from the summary first received by
telegram, but it is expected that the
discrepancies of statements can be
easily reconciled. 1t is estimated
that almost half of the vote of credit
has already been absorbed in the war
preparations so far ordered, which
are now too far advanced to be re-
scinded. The work of equipment for
the SOudan, however, has almost
ceased, the greatest efforts being di-
rectcd to the naval armament.
LONDON, May 9.-The arbitration
scheme is not making rapid progress
toward consummation. Although
Russia has not receded from her agree
ment to submit the question in dis
pute to arbitration, yet tits announced
that delay is likely to occur in the
preliminary stages of the affair. Be-
fore arbitration is possible, it is nee
essary for both Cabinets to agree
upon the specific details to be sub
mitted to the arbitrator. This may
consume considerable time.
ST. PETERSBURG, May l0.-It is re-
ported that Prince Lobanoff Rhas-
towi, the Russian ambassador to Aus
tria, is about to succeed NJ. DeGlers
as foreign minister.
Prince Lobanoff was summoned
from Vienna last March to advise the
Russian government in regard to the
Afghan frontier question, and he is
known to hold strong anti-English
views.

THE CANADIAN WAR.

WINNEPEG, May l0.-Reports
from the frontier are to the effect
thata battle between Middleton's
forces and Riel at Batouches has been
raging since yesterday morning. II
began by cannonading the log and
earthworks of Riel by Middleton's
artillery corps.
The result so far is undoubtedly to
be drawn battle. An attempt will
probably be made, when the work;
have been reduced, to storm the posi-,
ton simultaneously from the front
and back, when frightful fatalitie;
are likely to result, as the enemy are
well armed and deadly in aim.

The Republicans stole a march on
the Democrats in Illinois and the
Legislative tie is probably broken,
A Democratic member died and a
special election was ordered for last
Thursday. The district was largely
Democratic and but little interest was
manifested. The Republicans did
not put out candidate, but organic
ed throughly in secret manner and
at B o'clock in the afternoon brought
out their candidate and rushed HIM
in by about 200 majority. The Dem
ocrats who allowed themselves to be
beaten in this way are trying to pick
flaws to base a contest upon. The
House is an exact tie without the
new member and the Democrats
cannot unseat the Republican after
he once gets in. The Senate being
Republican by one vote this will give
the Republicans two majority on joint
ballot and result in the election of a
Republican Senator, Logan is the
caucus nominee and present Senator.

Mrs. A. M. Duaphine Quaker lady, OF
Philadelphia, has done great deal to make
known to ladies there the great value of Mrs
Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, as cure
for their troubles and diseases. She writes
as follows: "A young lady of this city while
bathing some years ago was thrown violently
against the life line and the injuries received
resulted in an ovarian tumor which grew and
enlarged until death seemed certain. Her
physician finally advised her to try Mrs.
Piukham's Compound. She did so, and in a
short time the tumor was dissolved or caus-
to slough of, and she is now in perfect health.
slso know of many cases where the medi-
cine has been of great value in preventing
miscarriage and alleviating the pains and
dangers of childbirth. Philadelphia ladies
appreciate the worth of this medicine and its
great value"

evening, between the Granite City and J. d.

no great surprise expressed at the result. II
was to be expected, considering the fact that
the Hallowel club is one of the best trained
and Oldest in the State; while on the other
hand the members of the Augusta club, who
participated, have played together but two or
three times The game lasted 30 minutes
and the Citys were obliged to exert all their
energies. The J. ID. Rs excelled in rushing
and were able to keep the ball in their OPP
ponents' end of the rink the greater portion
of the time. But the Hallowells covered
their goal so well that the Augustus were
unable to get the bell into their cage. Three
goals were played all being captured by the
visitors. The audience was large, many
coming from Hallowell.
