Russia, England and France Must Bnite te CounterbaIance the Peace League.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 7.-Gensral Van novski, the minister of war, is holding fires quent conferences with the Czar, who is at tended by his chief of staff, General Ab- rutchef, regarding the position on the frontier Trustworthy reports state that the utmost confusion prevails in the transport and commissariat.. It is the accepted belief in official circles that the government will make no change in the military measure al- ready determined upon. The Moscow Ga- zette, discussing the Austro German treaty, says: Henceforth it will be impossible for Russia to confde in allies whose hostility towards her has been proved. An alliance between Russia, England and France must be effected to counterbalance this 'tpeace league"
 BERLIN, eb.7.-Prince Bismarck in his speech referred to certain other powers with which Germany has concluded treaties of al liance similar to those between Germany and Austria and Germany and Italy. It is ru- mored that Spain, Roumania and Sweden are the countries referred to.
 VIENNA, Feb. 7-The Political Correspon- dence says that Prince Bismarck's speech in the Reichstag yesterday shows that the ap- pearance of the Austro German treaty was not the precursor of serious phase of politi- cal affairs. The central powers that paper says have no intention to demand that Rus sia disarm, but the earnest declarations of Prince Bismarck should prove that further ornaments are not needed.
 BERLIN, eb.7.-Emperor William received Prince Bismarck today and expressed his approval of the latter's speech in the Reich stag YesterdaY.

Deasb of pr. PhiIo G. Rocku

Death of Dr. Ph1Io G. Rockwell.
 The announcement of the death of Dr. Philo G. Rockwell at Aiken, S. O., Monday will call to the minds of the older residents of the city one who served in the capacity of surgeon at the soldiers hospital in this city during the war. He was born in Norfolk and graduated at the Berkshire Medical school. He practioed in New Britain and Waterbury until the breaking out of the re- bellion, when he entered the army as sur geon and soon became brigade surgeon. In 1870 he removed to Aiken, where he opened a resort for invalids, which has since be- come one of the most popular winter resorts in the South. A ready speaker of fine phy- sique, 8 man of pronounced opinions, he drew around him many warm and attached friends who will cherish the memory of his manly virtues.

PRoHIB1TIoN IN RHODE ISLAND.

The Workings of the Law Very Un-
 satisfactory.
 PROVIDENCE, Feb. 7.-The chief of State police, E. F. Curtis, made his first annual report to the legislature to day. The show ing for the working of prohibition is poorer than it was during the first year of the trial of the law. The report complains that no prosecuting law officer can be called upon to try cases in the lower courts and recommends that such an officer be appointed to assume in the district court similar duty to that of the attorney general in the higher courts. In view of the liability of special officers who make arrests nnder the law to personal re- sponsibility if they do not get favorable verdict the chief recommends that the off cers be protected against suit for damage. There are now 32S appealed liquor cases and 33S indictments on the court of common pleas docket and the chief comments: eff the judge should be able, sitting with jury to dispose of one case @ day, 1t can be seen that over two years would be occupied in the trial of iquor cases alone then pending. If to this delay be added the furher delay occasioned by the taking of exceptions on questions of law to the Supreme court and when these are oyerruled and the case called in the court of common pleas for sentence the taking of new exceptions again to the Supreme court as this court has had but two terms year, it can be readily seen that liquor prescott lions are prolonged to great and as it seems to me an unreasonable length" Legislation is recommended requiring 8 defendant to take all exceptions at one time for error and empowering the court to proceed to sen tence, notwithstanding exceptions have been taken, when in the opinion of the court the same are immaterial, frivolous or intended for delay as is done in Massachusetts.

The Consular ApproprIat1ons.

WAsH1NaToN, Feb. 7.-The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill as reported to the House to-day makes total appropria- tion of s1 ,403. .8s7 as against an appropriation of $1, AIS, ,94s for the current year. The de- crease is accounted for by tho omission of appropriations for the Haytien and Venezu- elian missions. In it's report the committee says the bill has been prepared So as to con- form to the rules prohibiting general legis- lation on appropriation bills. A number of proposed changes have been recommended by the department of State which the com mittee believes could be adopted with great advantage to the public service, but as they have not been embodied in the bill They will, however, be included in 8 separate bill for which the committee will ask considera- tion at another time.

 Mecurio Caruselli, an I italian, died at the hospital last evening from injuries received by an accident Monday afternoon. He was employed on the Meriden and Waterbury railroad.
 The construction train was going towards Cheshire and he was seated on one of the cars with his legs hanging down when large piece of rock fell in from the bank on to the left leg just below the knee, crushing several of the bones and tearing away three or four inches of the flesh. He was brought from Cheshire to the hospital in this city, where it was at first deeme advisable to aMputate the leg. Caruselli has been in the country only a year His injuries were of such nature, however, that he lived but short time after reaching the hospital.
