utterances In the British parliament
upon the PeDjdeh incident as prema.
ture. Itsays II thinks II would haye
been preferable for the English min
listers to have suspended Judgment un.
tll the receipt OF more complete infor.
nation. They should have acted ON the
ssupposition that IL was unlikely that
hussian generals, acquainted with the
intentions OF the Russian govern
acted without good reasons. Thoy
should have borne in mind that col.
lisions such es that which occurred on
me kushk are always possible In tho
nTARAnQA nI A valiant
Aslatlc population. The Penideh incl
dent, concludes the Journal, was GER
tainly an untoward event, because IL
may adversely effect the negotiations
pending between Russia and England,
which still justiiies hope for peace. The
war feeling here IL overwhelmingly
strong. The czar appeared at tho thea
ire last evening. The audience, still
enthusiastic over the news from Peni-
Deb, on the general assumption that
Gen. Komaroff's conduct had the impe-
rial approval, arose when they saw the
ozar and shook the building with an
ovation OF applause.

OF the czar aroused the greatest snthusl-
asm. The national anthem was sung
by the whole audience, and whom the

and bowed his thanks, he was greeted
with hurricane of cheers. The ovation
was continued outside and the royal
party was followed by crowds of people
TO the gates of the palace.
The minister OF war, speaking 10 n
circle OF officers tonight, said he had
the assurance OF the czar that the Rus.
sian troops might advance, but they
would never retire.
