NEW YORK, Jan. IA London special
day OF the Few year so far as the PROS
p CTS for peace are concerned. The pa
pers literally swarm with reports OF Rus
sian movements Of troops. 1t seems to
be und u5ted that the second army corps
is now under marching orders from the
Caucasus to the R,umanian frontier, while
the bulk OF, the eleventh corps is
being moved forward, one
cavalry division and ore rife
brigade to the RJ1msuiSn border, and
one cavsry division ard two Infantry d.
visions toward the Galicisn frontier. 1t
Is said that Prince ZobspCf, Russian
minister TO Vienna, has admitted this to
COuut Kslnoky, the Austrian premier,
while still protesting Russis's pesceful
Intentions, and that Count KslnOkg
answered that AustriG's intentions were
equSlly pacific, but how best 70 show
that this Was the case was not in hls
province but in that Of the military
authorities. We are evidently in fO-
period, whether short or long, Of sharp
Wsr sCares, which Of course
will tend TO send American securities
up. Apparently Russis is going sgain to
propose Peter Karsgeorgevios for The
Bulgarian throne, and is msssiDg troops
to give eject 20 her proposition. Il is
practically certain that he will be rejected
by the powers. Then the question is,
