DEMANDS PREPARATION.
LONDON, April 9.-The Daily Telegraph
says: Russia throughout has intended to
give England trouble and to put afronts
upon her. Unless reparation is afforded, not

LONDON, April O. The majority Of the
Paris newspapers consider war between En-
gland and Russia inevitable unless Prince
Bismarck at once uses his influence in favor
OF peace. The Morning Post says that the
government has had telegraphic correspond
ence with Gen. Wolseley in reference to a
proposition to withdraw the British.
FORCES FROM THE soUDAN.
The Daily Nl@s says the agreement be-
tween England and Russia that there should
be no advance of outposts must now have
reached the chief of the Russian staff on the
Afghan frontier. If that agreement be adj
hered to war may be averted. The crossing

War can now only be averted by prompt
disavowal by Russia of Gen. Komaroff's
action anda guarantee against its repeti
tion, and by honorable action on her par
regarding the joint boundary commission,
which up to the present time the Russians

guised cynicism. The past affords little
ground for hope or belief that Russia viii
observe with greater fidelity her obligation:

between those two rulers are extremely
friendly. The European press considers tina
both England and Russia want time to pre-

with Russia to purge herself oi

slams and the Afghans was known tn the
ameer before he made his speech at the
Durbar. In an editorial article the Standard
says: The last point which Russia claims,

DUBLIN, April 9 A manifesto to the peo-
pie of Ireland concerning the present visit
of the Prince and Princess of Wales has
been issued to-day. The document is called
q Parnell manifesto, and purports to be

good reason can be seen why the Prince OF
Wales is entitled to any reception in Ireland
