indemnity if Servia foregOes the cession Of
Widden. The emperor has accepted the
reference of terms of oasis for peace
expected on Monday. Both potentates
The obligation does not extend to the final
acceptance of peace by either state
but to the acceptance of terms for negotia-
tions. Pending the empelor's decisions the
movement of the Bulgarian divisions threat
ening Nessa have been stopped. Each
army remains in the position it now occu-
pies. Dispatches from Vienna Berlin, and
ST. Petersburg are more hopeful Of peace
between Bulgaria and Servia, but are omin-
ously silent as regards the threatening
prospect of war between Turkey. Greece
and the allied Balkan states. The porte
has accredited Turkish commission to the
Bulgarian government, in addition to the
commissioners to Prince Alexander, to
take part in the peace negotiations,
and to PhillipophOlis to negotiate on
the proposed changes of the organic law of

a virtual monopoly of the transmission

the cause of the suspension of the recent
negotiations between the pool and the Mac

Pender's threat, made last fall. that he
would bring Mackay to his knees. This be-

FURIOUS DEBATE ENsUED,
several of the participants being with diff

guments with blows, and scores of the MEN,

expected that one of the first Parnellite
motions in the new parliament will be a
demand for an inquiry into the receipts at
Londonderry. By advice of Mr.. Parnell
number of persons have for some time past
been engaged in collecting evidence in re-
gard to the riots. 1t is alleged that
Magistrate Harvey grossly neglected his
duties and that police acted. presumably
under instructions, in most brutal manner
towards the Nationalsts. In majority of

READ THE RIOT ACT
in the presence of score of policemen car
rying out the letter but not the
spirit of the law. The people
toward whom the act was read, were of
course unable to hear the reading, and un-
til after the police attacked them they were
unaware of the course which the magistrate
had adopted. The ParnelIites assert that
they are in possession of sufficient evi-
dence to prove that the police

one house in Fahan street squad
of police, after breaking down the
doors, used their slaves upon the
owner, one McKeirnan, until his head was
so badly battered that the police surgeon,
fearing the man would die, ordered his re-

cold cell for twenty-four hours, no

THE CORK CATTLE DEALERS.
The Cork cattle dealers. who have been
boycotting the Cork Packet company. have
issued a prospectus for the formation Of a
new steamship company, with capital of
6 100, 900. the first issue of stock to
be e50,0O0. and to be in one-pOund
shares. The dealers claim that the two
steamers which they have been running in
opposition to the boycotted vessels have each
earned handsome!profit. The Cork steamer
Packet company because of its recent loss
of trade through boycotting by the cattle
dealers, has been compelled to pass its last
dividend and its collapse is imminent.
A Glance at the Situation.
