RUSSIA BULLDoxrrc AusrnrA.

War1ike Preparation which Make the
Austrihms Lever.
VIENNA. Dec. 29.-The Vienna Press Is becoming
convinced that Russia is determined on war. Re.
ports OF increased Russian ornaments are con-
dnually coming to hand from various sources
The latest Intelligence OF this kind Is to the effect
that 800 900 Russian troops have been ordered to
mass In kieff, and that the occupants Of 10000
houses have received official notification that
soldiers will soon be billeted in them. The .veme
Feie Pesss plainly hints that the best thing
Austria can do Is 70 submit to Russias wishes In
order to avoid a conflict. The 7dgbldH and other
papers bitterly dpplore the fact that austria Is
compelled to abandon her Balkan program because
she has been left in the lurch by Prince Bismarck
who has made peace with Russia"

France VIII Not Provoke War.

IF THERE Is WAR GERMANY MUST BE THE AG-
GRESSOR.
VIENNA, Dec. ON. CleLnenceau, the French
statesman, who is visiting Vienna TO attend Inf,
brothers wedding, has been interviewed re-
spectfng the possibility OF war between
Ciemenceau said: "There can be no
war between France and Germany
unless Germany makes the first at
tack, because every responsible Frenchman Is
determined that France shall offer no provOca-
ton. Even If Russia and Germany should fight,
France would remain passive. 1t would re-
qutre a gross prOvOcatiOn, indeed, to rouse
France to war. or course, France will refuse to
disarm. 1t must be admitted that France has
tended merely to frfghten Germany"

CHICAGO, Dec. 29-When the executive commit.
tee OF the Chicago Turner's district submitted a
proposition TO issue protest against the execu.
societies making up the district, demanded that q
special district convention be called to impeach
the executive committee for transgreSSing its au-
thority and eventually to remove it. Since that
time request has been sent to the turner's sOci-
cites By John GlOy speaker OF the district not to
insist on the calling OF the special convention.
His request was not granted, and the matter bids
fair to cause split within the district.

New Trouble For the b. and O.
READING OFFICIALS DELAYING THE OPENING OF THE

THROUGH ROUTE TO NEW YORK.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-Although the Balti-
more q Ohio completed its connection with the
Reading railroad In this city on the 18th instant
through traf11c to New York has not yet been
opened up by the B. & O., and it is feared that
complications may arise which will once more de-
feat for time the B. & O.'S long cherished
Scheme. The Reading officials, 1t Is claimed show
no disposition to facilitate the opening
of the new through line, and have received ali
SOr, excuses To justify their delays 1t is said
In some quarters that there is still good prospect
OF the Pennsylvania railroad carrying the Balti-
more and OhiO'S New York passengers, while the
Reading and jersey Central transact its New
