Count Goluchowski, at Budapest Monday, before the Austrian and Hungarian delegations, were those entertained by Russia.

 The foreign office states that the rap prochement between Bulgaria and Ser via, as evidenced by the meeting Sat urday between King Peter and Prince Ferdinand at Nisch, is a matter of sat isfaction to Russia, which desires all the Balkan states to live i'll the most complete harmony.

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Russia Looking for Germany's Aid in
 Far Eastern Settlement.


 Paris. May 2O.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris says:
 It is consistently rumored that ne- |gotiations are going on with Germany the object of which is to effect q re- |approachment and the reconstruction of the triple alliance whereby Russia would obtain Germanys diplomatic support in settlement of the Far East ern question. An understanding with Germany would prevent British inter- vention in favor of Japan after the war and Russia would, as an immediate plede, concede a settlement of pending economic and customs questions.
 The attempt to force a Russo-Ger man entente is due to the Anglo-French entente. which produced deplorable effect here. The Russians conside that French official, if not popular, syrnpa- thy is not standing the strain of the war and that it will make possible a Russo-German R entente restricted to a special point which will not affect irn- mediately the Franco Russian alliance but must eventually wreck it.
 This news surely will be denied. but l have reason to believe it well founded
 Russia has decided to make all the ports of her Pacific possession free ports. and this will soon be announced with view to meet the Brit lsh and American objections to her oc- equation of Manchuria."

London, May 20.-A. G. Hales, the correspondent of the Daily News, ca bles from Tien Tsin as follows, under date of May 19:
 It is reported that seventy thousand Russians are marching to the relief of Port Arthur, and the Japanese are con- sequently hastening offensive opera tions.
 "Forty-five thousand troops have al- ready been landed at Kin Chau and Talienwan, thus entirely investing Port Arthur.
 The Japanese advance lines are seven miles from the Russian bat teries.
 .skirmishes occur daily along the railroad
 Tt is believed that the Japanese in tend attacking Port Arthur with the entire force when it numbers fifty thousand men. They are mounting six naval guns on steel wheels with the object of silencing the Russian bat teries.
 ''The Manchurian railway south of Harbin is constantly broken by Chinese marauders, and the Russians threaten reprisals.
 ''The Russians admit that they have to contend with terrible difficulties along the whole line. Their men, how ever, are behaving splendidly and are very confident"

STAMPEDED FOR HENRY.
General Assembly of the Presbyterian

1 Buffalo, N. Y. May 19.--The general
 assembly of the Presbyterian church in, the United States was this afternoon
 stampeded for the Rev. J. Addison
 Henry, D. D., of Philadelphia, for
 Moderator. Dr. Henry was elected lirl-9
 aninously almost before the other Leading candidates for the position Knew what was going on. Three mlin- utes before Dr. Henry was chosen, 1t was generally believed that the Rev. James D. Moffat, D. D., off Washing ton and Jefferson college, Washington,
 Penn., wauld be elected on the second ballot, at least. The other prominent Icandidat was the Rev. Howard Agnew Johnstone, D. D., of New York.
 The commissioners seemed hardly to credit their own action in voting unan- imously for Dr. Henry. It came on them all very suddenly. This was not because Dr. Henry is any less popular than pr. Moffat but because Dr. Moi fats campaign had bee ncarefully con- ducted for months by his friends and pr. Henry did not com einto the con- test until the last few days

SIMILAR TO STONE CASE.
Prominent American Citizen and His
 stepson Kidnapped.

Washington, May 19.-The state de- lpartment has received a cablegram i from United States Consul Gummere, dated at Tangier to-day, saying:
 MT. Perdlcaris, a prominenet Amer ican citizen, long a resident of Tan-
 gier, and rich and well known, and his stepson. MT. Varley, British sub lJect, were carried off last night from their country house three miles from Tangier by a large band of native
 brigands headed by Raisuly, the ban dit who carried off MT. Harris last
 year. The Perdicaris house was brok-
 en into about haIf-past eight last even
 ing while the family were ntlle draw ing room and the two men were car- ried away. Mir. Gummere and the Brit ish minister are acting with energy in the matter. They have spent a spe- cial carrier to the court to inform the sultan's deputy to comply with all re- quests they make in this matter and to insist that the terms demanded by Raisuly shall be granted in order to obtain the release of the captives."
 Except for the difference of Sex the 1tiSiuShl fepOTtSu Dy NIT. lTuInnlere compares in some respects with the case of Miss Helen Stone, who was Kidnapped by Bulgarian bandits some time ago. The demand upon the sul- tan by Mr. Gummere that he pay the ransom demanded in this last case is said to be in accordance with oriental customs. Payment is necessary prob- ably to save the lives of the pair and 1t is not doubted the sultan will find some means afterward to capture the brlgands and recover the sum paid over
 Orders were sent to Rear Admiral Chadwick to-day, which he win receive when his command, the South Atlantic squadron, reaches Teneriffe, Canary Islands, directing hi mas soon as he ar rives there to coal one of his ships and send 1t to Tangier. He has the Brook lyn and Atlanta and two gunboats, either one of the former being availa- ble for the service.
