STILL LOOKS LIKE WAR.
RUSSIA HAS 100000 CAVALRYMEN
ON THE FRONTIER.

Moments Notice-The Cars Silence
on New Years Considered Significant
(Copyrioht 1888 on New York associated PreSs)
BERLIN, Jan. IA semi-oificial state
ment is issued from ST. Petersburg tonight
with reference to the failure of the Gar to
make a speech at the New Year reception.
The assertion is made that the Car has not
been in the habit of making any political
statement on that occasion, This is only
partly true Both the late and the present
Car have been won't to make a short
address of a semi-conversational character
to the diplomatic circle. Yesterday even
ing the Gar pointedly refrained
from conversing with Gen. Won Schweinitz,
the German Ambassador and Count Won
Wolkenstein Frostberg, the Austrian repre-
sentative. At one period of the reception
the Russian Generals and Ministers grouped
themselves around the Gar, expecting an
important utterance. After whispering a
few minutes with NJ. de Giers, he turned to
the others and formally offered the con-
gratulations of the season. Then he singled
out three of his Ministers for private talk.
The incident is considered an intination
that the war party triumphs. Among the
| lists of honors conferred the Pan-Slavists
| alone were favored. The list Of decorations
leaves an impression in Berlin and Vienna
official circles that the Gar is hopelessly
under command of the aggressives.
TO PRESIDE AT A FETE.
The Moscow Gazette tonight says thaton
| the nineteenth day after Epiphany (Rnssian
style) the Gar will preside at a grand mill
tary fete, when he will declare his policy.
| The Cars action in choosing military
fete as the occasion on which to make this
declaration, has increased the feeling of
disquiet In the meantime the frontier
movements continue to be accelerated. Di-
vision after division of cavalry pOurs west

artillery and munitions occupy the railroads
and ordinary traffic is suspended At kleH,
| Odessa and elsewhere the authorities are
! buying up provisions and forage, and along
the line of the Vistula, between Domblin
and Dombrova, host of laborers is en-
gagged in constructing redoubts. The War
saw police have issued orders that all Aus
trians who have not permits to re-
side in Poland must quit Russian territory

moved from the frontier regiments and sent

movements are kept profound secret, but

there is an active passage of troops from
| PoSen to the Galcian frontier.
HERR TIszA's POSITION.
The first clear exposition of the situation
of affairs is hoped for from Herr Tisza, the
| Hungarian Prime Minister, in his reply TO
the Interpolation of Herr Helfy. The temper
of a majority of the members of the Hun
garian Parliament is ardently warlike.
| Unless Premier Tisza's explanation shows
that the forces on the frontier of Galicia
are ample to repel any invasion. Deputy
Preczel threatens to move vote of CEN
| sure.
AN IMMENSE CAVALRY FORCE.
The Vienna Wehrt-Zeitltng, a military
| organ. states that Russia has a force of
| 100, 900 cavalry on the frontier, so organized
as to act independently of the infantry,
which is ready to penetrate into Galicia at
a moments notice to impede the mobiliZa-
tion Of Austrian troops: This statement
echoes what the War Department
at Berlin has been pressing upon
the attention of the Austrian department
with good effect. The Austrian war office
| is now confident that there are sufficient
| forces in Central Lemberg and Przemipl
and CzernowitZ to arrest Russian ad-
vance. The authorities have dismissed the
Mayors opposing the suppression of the
| Polish language, and have closed the schools
and threaten to suspend the clergy. The
| priests of the province appealed to Arch
| bishop Dinder, who replied advising sub
| mission.
CLERICAL OPPOSITION.
| A section of the clergy rejected the Arch
| bishops advice ami have appealed TO the
Pope. Archbishop Dinder after a confer
ence with the Berlin authorities, issued an
| A.
| ing opposition to the government under
penalty of suspension. This order has not
Gained the agitation. The Polish party
| has started three journals with the avowod
! aim of educating the children of the people
and of keeping alive the Polish national
sentiment. Herr Windthorst intends to
move that the government modify the
action of the Posen authorities in suppress
ing the use of the Polish language in rehg-
ious teaching
CONDITION OF THE PRINCE.
The latest advices from San Reno declare
that the reports that the Crown Princes
malady has taken an unfavorable turn are
untrue. There were symptoms of a recur-
renee of the swelling but the trouble has
been checked. The press has ceased to
discuss the case. The best informed circles
continue absolutely skeptical as regards the
possibility of a cure being effected
Herr Hasenclever, who has been pro-
nounced hopelessly insane, will be placed in
a hospital in Berlin ON Monday. His seat
in the Relchstag will be declared vacant.
SOCIALISTS ON TRIAL.
The trial of thirty Socialists is being car
ried ON privately at Posen. 1t is certain
that all of them will be convicted of being
members of a secret society.
At Dresden three Socialist members of
the municipal Council, Herren Stelzer, Horn
and Muller, have been sentenced to four
months Imprisonment each, for using abu-
sve language toward police officer
In Freiburg and Dreigan Socialists Bohle,
Stuck, Boil, Yorger and Fuches have been
sentenced to terms of Imprisonment of sew
istic literature. The authorities of Saxouy
are especially active in their efforts to root
! out the Socialists
