A Vigorous Criticism.

NEW YORK, May 4-The Times Lon don special, says: "I do not in the least believe there will be peace, or that the ministry has actually shown the white feather in seeking for 1t. The ministry have had no sense of the prospective in planning thelr specular effect. They went into the Russian imbroglio with undue ferceuess and clamor ct the start, out of a weak desire to divert at- iention from the Soudan disgrace. They have been handicapped by this event m their subsequent genuine efforts to make Englsnd's cause entirely just and put all of the blame of the aggression on Rus sis. The task of doing this therefore, being doubly difficult, has involved pine, but 1t has at last been accomplished and England now is clearly the champion of morality in stRtecraft. It remains to be seen how Russia will assume the opposite role by the answer which is expected to-day. It IS said to be the belief of Downing street that Russia will accede to the English proposals. Should the prOpos- als be accepted, the debate will be over the shells of dispute-Russis has the oyster and assuredly will keep it. There can be no ultimate, no logical outcome but war, which diplomnoy may postpone but cannot prevent. The controlling powers of Russia are primed for a fight; they are excIteI and eager for a fray and the vast machinery of the army has been set in motion, with cry for the rich Asiatic loot and the occupation of Constantinople, and no Alexander, were he a hundred-fold wiser and braver than the present Czar, could arrest its movements. It IS significant fact that m the Council of State which convened at St. Petersburg to-day. the ultra-war party was distinctly in control.

 LONDON, May 5-In the House of | Commons, referring tD the subject of the resumption of communications in London, between England and Russia, Gladstone said they would be much fa- cilitated by the more full and exact knowledge which the government now possessed of the Ameer's views since the meeting between him and Earl Duf ferin at Rswul-PIndi, and valuable topo. graphic information which had since reached England.
