BISMARCK'S CHALLENGE.
TT IS BELIEVED THAT RUSSIA DARE
 NOT ACCEPT TT.

The Cxar Knows the Fearful Risks He
 Would Take fin Case of War-How the
 News Was Spread-A Specimen of En-
 t-rprising European Journalism.
 LoNDoH, Feb 6.-An England is vibrating with the echoes of the publication of the Austro-Gernan treaty and of its full signif1- canoe and probable effect on the peace of Europe There are almost as many opinions as there are men and newspapers. It is the general belief here that Russia will refuse to take the bluff; that she has known all along exactly what she had to face in the event of wal. q has not been bold enough to go so far she has with any intention of back ing down. But the German authorities arc men of conscience, and if the czar will i'm bue his hands in innocent blood and rush on madly to his own fall they take care that they at least shall have no reason to suffer reproach for the ruin he will bring about. They will not allow him to plead hereafter that he was misled. He is encour- aged to keep peace by Q plain statement of the frightful risks he will run if he goes to war. It is not conceivable that a lesson should be read out to an irritated despot in this style if things had not already been pushed to the extreme. It now remains to be seen what will be the effect of the publication oI oue treaty SO IOuS WlGun6lO ITOIn une Worlu 1t is slap ill the face which Russia must re- sent somehow; in what way, the events of the next few days will tell
 It is authoritatively announced here that Bismarck intends to talk on the situation in the reichstag to-day. If he does he will surely say something interesting. Upon that hang issues of almost incalculable magnitude The struggle may yet be avoided But if it is provoked it is pretty certain that it will not terminate until substantial guarantees are obtained for period of repose from the con- tinual alarms that now agitate Europe.
 The manner of the publication of the treaty ill Vienna is an interesting specimen of Euro pean journalism. The Hungarian official journal morning paper, did not publish it on Friday morning because it was holiday, but in the evening, at o'clock, a special edi- tion of the paper burst on the town like a blaze of fireworks It was printed by a few employees sworn to secrecy, and without the slightest knowledge on the part of anybody outside of government circles.
