,conwfqht 1883 By Neo York Associated Press)
pvnr1v Jan. 21.-Since the official or
- Of the German army, the Miiitdr
TocbenblaH, gave its luminous coinpari-
eo, of the strength of the frontier forces of
Germany and Russia, discussion Of the
yi.,,o+on has elected nothing more definite
gona semi-official statement in several
raners today that, despite the arrival of
.ddi+ional Russian troops on the frontier,
the German government for the present
vii, not order the counter movement neces-
sorv to equalize the strength
- the two forces This is
ooe of several indications that the govern
u.ont believes war has been delayed The
rayorts ny.1r touching the breaking down Of the
Russian transport service, waste of muni
,,ors defactive commissariat and starvation
srd disease, in the Russian army, enable the
announcement to be made that Germany
maintains waiting attitude.
RUssrAs TONE MODIFIED.
IN the Russian side the discovery that it
rronId he impossible to open effectively an
carly campaign has caused the war party to
modify its tone.
The Moscow Gazette yesterday indicated
,be nacjfc policy of Russia 1t declared
Kat neace was assured unless Russia should
be provoked by aggressive acts of her
neighbors.
The Nouoe Vrem yd protests that Russia S
armaments are purely defensive. The Sret
disnutes the WOchenbIGttS figures and tries
IN nrove that Germany can concentrate a
million of men on the frontier of Poland
within ten days while Russia's huge areas
of territory, and imperfect means of trans
portation render difficult the work of mo-
b.liation.
RUSSIA THE GAMER.
The postponement of the rupture is not in
accordance with the strategy of the Berlin
War Office nor tie wishes of the Niennese,
but continues due to the irresolutiOn of the
Austrian government. Although convinced
that war is inevitable and that it would be
preferable for Austria sooner than later,
Count Kalnoky persists in waiting on
Russia's time. Public sentiment in
Vienna and at Pesth displays irritation
over the position. The Hungarian papers
charge Count Kalnoky with too great sub
ervience to Prince Bismarck, and urge
that action be taken without waiting for
an order from Berlin. The truth of the
position, however, is that Prince Bismarck
has already fully possessed Count Kanoky
Of the fact that German initiative to war
is simpossible, leaving the Austrian govern
ment free to open hostilitieS when it deems
the time ripe.
ZUJEFF'S STATEMENT.
Another version is semi-officially issued
in Vienna tonight of the Russian military
attaches Ai. Zujeff) recent statement that
two new divisions of Russian troops had
arrived at the Galician frontier. The first YER
sion Of this statement, which was also semi
pficiallv given. was distinctly menacing.
It's now stated that NJ. LuJeff, while con-
versing with the Austrian officials, Cnly
stated that the displacement of divisions
would be effected gradually in the course Of
'ul present year He further expressed the
nope hat no advance would be made, as
sGch movement would be weakening to
t1ssla's defeusi position, and would COM
pei her to take larger measures.
ANDRAssY LOOMING UP.
This Interpretation is obviously issued to
alay the impatience Of the military and
political circles of Austria Hungary, where
cunt kalnoky is becoming distrusted, and
plans are maturing to substitute more
energetic Minister. Count Andrassy will
Supplant Count Kalnoky before long if
succeed in their plans. The Polish group in
Vienna rely on Count Andrassy to assist in
t1erevlval Of the Polish kingdom, consisting
o. Russian and Austrian Poland, under
an Austrian prince. The expectancy of the
Poes rapidly increases. Their organs in
lracow and Lemberg, while preaching
prudence, declare hat the people of Poland
Will go solid for Austria if assured of some
Iorm OF restored independence. Bishop
ouganeskl, of Cracow, wac is recognized

THE ANrI-soCIALIsT BILL.
SINCE the new anti-Socialist project was
placea betore the Reichstag the opposition
laS waXed strong from ell parties except

tGeIals seem to be tending toward de-
