announcement of the probable evacua-
ton of Zolon; second, to the repeated
references made by Gladstone last even
ing, to the necessity of holding ali troops
there In readiness for service wherever
they may be wanted, (and these latter
words were observed to be spoken with
emphasis); third, the demand for e11,-

patch. LondOn's entire morning press

| KomarOffs report remains; not one

charged with high treason and felony In
causing the explosion in the Tower Of
London, has been postponed until Nay
