on "Wednesday, after daily conferences
since February 3. The Gar on Thursday

Raditaki, Drentel and Roop, with the
chiefs OF artillery and engineers, continued
the councils until yesterday, when the Car

The latest estimate by Berlin military
experts based on the most Trustworthy
reports, places the number of Russian
troops on the Prussian, Austrian and Rou-

the Polish frontier, Notwithstanding the
horrible sullerings OF the men, who are
crowded in ill-built huts, reinforcements
continue TO arrive. II is war without the
excitement OF actual conflict.
THE PROPOSED REGENCY BILL.
Much excited talk prevailed on the lob
bies OF the Rcichstag regarding the inten-
ton OF the government to propose a re-
gency bill until the reports received an
eilectual quietus by the private official
declaration that no regency was contem-
plated. The splendid health of vhe En-
peror shelves the question of regency for
the time being. The rumoB which APP
pear from time TO time in progressist pa
pers that the Emperor Is feeble and has
continual fits Of crying over the crown
prince are nonsense. At the semi-public
reception TO the officers Of the Russian
kaluga regiment yesterday the Emperor
looked as vigorous as before his illness OF

him as working with tho activity OF ten
years ago. lie devotes fourteen hours
daily 10 his duties, beginning at o'clock

THE CROWN PRINCE.
The official bulletins, which conflict with
private adyiccs, state that the wound in
the crown princes throat heals, but his
general condition Is worse. His nervous
irritability, prolonged insomnia, rccurrcni

Virchow report, should dispel the prevail.
