ously awaited here. II has confirmed
the conviction that war between Austria
and Russia is accepted by both sides as
inevitable. The Premier's statement
was given in carefully poised speech
protesting peace, but breathing spirit
OF war. Operators on the Bourse who
had waited for dispatches from Pesth
offered international stocks for sale freely,
but the effect Of the Premiers speech
will not be fully seen till the opening of
business on Monday.
Private advices from Vienna state that
diplomatic negotiations recently opened
between Prince LobanoG, the Russian
Ambassador to Austria, and Count Kal-
Doky have been abandoned. The con-
dition Of affairs now existing between
the two Governments is simply that each
is lying in wait for the first chance to
strike.
Reports received at tho War Office
from agents on the Polish frontier init
mate a renewal OF activity among the
Russian troops. The difficulties in the
way Of transporting troops are remedied.
The commissariat has been improved
and disease among the troops is de-
creasing. In the provinces of Volhynia
and POdolia military acquisitions for
grain and forage are causing dearth OF
provisions among the people.
AtKremenetz eight great magazines are
being bnilt. They will be surrounded
by Notifications. At DOubno accommO-
dations have been ordered for 10000
troops. at Luck, between DOubnO and
vladimir Walinski, a new camp Is be-
ing constructed which will hold 10000
troops. These preparations would seem
to indicate an intention Of invading
Galecia. Austrian war officials suspect
that the real object in view IS the inya-
sion of Bulgaria and that the aims of
the Cars strategy is to entrap Au-
stria into sending the bulk OF her
forces into Galecia, while the real comp
is delivered in the Balkan Peninsula.
The interviews which Stourdza, of the
Roumanian Cabinet, had at Vienna and
Friederi,hsr1he has resulted in an
entente cOTdjGic. II Russia enters Rou-
mania Austria will hold the step TO be q
casu9 beiH. Stourdza is understood to
have obtained from Bismarck assurance
that the Roumanian territory would he
enlarged in the event Of the defeat Of
Russia. Rumor credits Stourdza with
suggesting a solution OF the Bulgarian
problem by the extension OF Roumania
to the Aegean Sea, with Salonica as the
capital. This project would receive no
countenance from Austria, as she, too,
has designs for the final extension OF her
territory to Salonica.
Sinews of war have been obtained by
the Russian Treasury by a loan arranged
in Amsterdam, the amount Of which is
said to be 100000 pounds sterling.
Herr Won Tisza has concluded the nego-
tiations with the Frankfort Rothsohilds
for loan OF 20, 900, coo flolns.
The debate on the anti-SOcialist bill
was resumed in the Reichstag to-day.
Herr Won HeldOrf and Councillor Held.
plenipotentiary Of Saxony, spoke i'll
favor OF the measure and Bamberger
and Kosciash against it. Nlarquardsen
announced that the National Liberals
would vote unanimously for two years
prolongaiiOn of the existing law without
any alterations. Won Puttkamer tainted
Bamberger with supporting the Social
lists for political reasons, and declared
that the new German Liberals would
lose half their seats if Bebel only chose
to give the word. He Vuttkamer)
would, however, say no more than
to reassert that the Government
considered the measure an absO-
lutte necessity. The debate WAS
marked by unwonted fervOr The House
was crowded, and intense interest was
caused by Marquardsen's intimation that
the National Liberals would not support
the measure in its present form. In the
discussion in the loobies after the debate
the consensus Of opinion was that the
Government would be defeated If they
persisted in attempting to pass the bill.
Bismarck intended to be present. but his
arrival at Berlin had been delayed owing
to severe attack of neuralgia in the
face, He will speak on the second read
ing of the bill next week.
In committee on the bill Windthorst,
leader Of the Clericnls, said that the
Government obtained the consent OF the
Reichstag to the Septennate bill by re-
presenting that the measure would be
guarantee Of pacific future. Now, he.
said. they come sgain, demanding more
sacrifices in men and money. When
their demands are satisfied, what assu-
rance is there that the country will have |
anything sufficient to give it rest from its
military burdens
Count Won Schillendorf, Minister of /
War, curly responded that if the APP /
provsl OF the Septennate bill had been |
associated with any promise OF perma-
nent peace it was mistake. The Gov /
aim was to protect the coun-
try, and the best way TO do so was to
make it strong against all attacks.
The North Gcrndn gazette, COM
upon the recent arrests Of Irish
members OF Parliament, SAYS that snch |
prompt and vigorous action well BELTS
the Government, which is conscious of
It's duty, and will be better understood
by the people than the ioisscz alter
policy purposed by former Administra-
lions towards the Parnelites, whose
policy, instead of alnying the spirit OF
caused it to swell to such pro-
portions as to become an imminent dan
ger to the United Kingdom.
Professor Virchow, in misunderstanding
he latest phase of the Crown Princes
illness, says he is Of the opinion that the
disease is not cancer. The features of
he disease are those Of perichondritus
nalady which develops slowly and is &C.
by explosions of PARTICLES
similar to that in the case of the Crown
Prince. The last microscopical examina-
ion of the growth, which was made in
November, disclosed the fact tnst mis-
AXE had been make in attributing a por-
ion of matter analysed to soft cancer.
Lady Randolph Churchill in short
declared that it was her per-
,onal opinion that Lord Randolph had
10 mission beyond to learn for himself
he political movements at Berlin and
St. Petersburg. de is hopeful of peace,
Lady Churchill said, as in his opinion
no statesmen on either side desire war.
