The Seryian minister at London has re-
ceiyed advceS from Nissa, bearing date of
Friday, to the effect that the Servlan troops
have not advanced beyond Pirot. King
Milan stiu Oomains at Nissa. He reviewed
the Seryian troops on Thursday. They were
i'll excellent condition for campaign. The
Servian envoy has mad an interview with
Count Herbert Bismarck. He stated that
the only conditions that would avert war
would be TO grant an extension OF territory
OF Seryia. or restore the Statu-quO.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-The political cam
paign wakes warmer The week has been
flooded with speeches, ana though there are
no new developments of policy, some of
the proposals from both sides have under
gone certain amount OF change. The
most remarkable utteraH1eS came from Lord
Salisbury, whose Brighton address con-
tainS the best arguments yet used against
Mr.. Chamberain'S land proposals. He
fought shy Uf primOgeniture and seemed
TO throw over entail, but declared for SET
tlement as essential to the protection of
the property OF married women. In for
eign affairs Lord Salisbury gave the public
some actual information. He explained
the surrender to Germany in Zanzibar as
flowing from the unpublished arrangements
OF his predecessors. 1t is gravely queS-
toned, however, whether the arrangement
which Lord Granville made with Prince
Bismarck went as far as Lord Salisbury
suggests. Lord Granville arranged to
ascertain the boundaries of Zanzibar,
but his object is thought to have been rather
to exclude the German trading company,
which Is quite different thing from allow
ing the Sultan to pass under German intiu-
ence and Sir john Kirk 10 be set aside
The prime minister's statement viii GER
tainly provoke controversy. On the Bur-
mese question Lord Salisbury is more
satisfactory. 1t is generally believed that
any enterprise that England may undertake
III this region
WILL NOT RESULT IN ANNE XATIoN,
but i'll the creation Of a native state under a
fresh ruler, controlled by British resident.
Lord RipOnS speech last night indicates
that the Liberal party would support such
policy. 1t is sufficient to say OF the Whig
speeches OF Lord Harrington, Lord Derby,
MI. Goschen and Mr.. Childers, that they
were mO,e directed to crushing the argu-
ments OF the Radical wing than to answer
ing their Conservative opponents. Mr..
ChilderS, however, gave the public sur
prise by producing detailed plan for set
tlement OF the Irish difficulty. The
bold, confident way III which he appOrtioned
the several functions of imperial and Irish
administrations under his proposed arrange
ment has been severe shock to many of
his own friends. The transfer of the police
to the irish local government is the chief
point of objection. The Irish papers are
delighted at this offer from man of
Chider'S position. Lord RoSeberry's decar-
alton on this subject went even to the eX-
tent of cOncedng Il federaliZed parliament,
but it was accompanied with this important
qualification, that the loyalty of Ireland
should first be beyond doubt. The discs
tablishment question has receded. Mr..
Chamberlain'S
HEDGING ON THIS SUBJECT
after his visit to Hawarden exhibits the i'll
tluence of the ''grand Old man." The out
cry of Liberal churchmen against forcing on
an unripe scheme alarmed Mr.. Gladstone
and other Liberal leaders. The attitude Of
Cardinals Newman and Manning in defense
of the church has also accentuated the re-
sistance vi Radical demands.
The divisions of the European powers
have given rein to King Milan and the
Greek government, so that the Balkans are
on the verge Of hostilities. Servia, having
armed, considers it necessary to
fight somebody, and as Austria apparently
keeps her from entering Turkish territory
she IS now picking quarrel with Bulgaria.
There is. however, chance that the aStute-
ness Of Prince Alexander will again pre-
serve him from disaster. If he can arrange
with King Milan for an adjustment of the
frontier in the Widin district, and he can
complete the secret negotiations in hand
with the sultan, the powers will agree to be
circumvcntcd. In this way all may be
happily settled. Russia continues its en-
deaV0rS to
REMOVE PRINCE ALEXANDER
If possible. Germany and Austria have
consented TO its proposal of conference
whose first work will be to invite Prince
Alexander to Withdraw from ROumelia as a
condition precedent to a recognition of his
claims. This cumbersome suggestion for dis
crediting Prince Alexander in the eyes of his
people is to too transparent to gain approval.
The GreViIe memoirs have not made the
same sensation as the first installment of the
book. The work, being the private property
of the editor, has been singularly dealt with.
No arrangement was made for an Ameri-
can issue, and it was only on
finding in a newspaper review, last
Wednesday, that American agents here had
an inkling of the books existence. The is
sue was Immediately worked, and no doubt
American rights have been lost through
Mr.. Reeves obstinacy. Mr.. Ellis is retir-
ing from business, sells library of rare
Volumes choice binding and magnificent
collection of Americans. There are two
copies of first folio of Shakespeare, two of
the second and one of the fourth. The
catalogue of the sale contains more than
400 pages.
