Austria and Russia are taking, al,
though but preliminary precautions
have made possible vision Of the
vast consequence which,, SO far as
Great Britain. is concerned, are consid-
| cred nothing less than appalling.
| Apparently the British public has
mo desire to sacrifice lives and money
Eparalyze commerce and risk the
| navy over the settlement of the status
| 81 the Balkan Peninsula. Yet is il
uneasy because ignorant of how far
| Great Brihain's diplomatic engage
|mentS with France and Russia extend
| in the direction Of an alliance, and OF
ihow much likelihood there is that the
government will be drawn into a con-
fict in which one or both of its part
lners in the entente may be engaged.
The Liberal press is unanimous II
urging Great Britain to preserve neu-
trality. The majority of the conser7-
atives demand the same policy.
The Times declare that none Of the
European peoples wants war.
England, France and Germany are
playing a peacemaking role. Their
efforts are directed apparently toward
keeping the powers together in com
pact to refrain from taking up piece
meal the question which the wal
raises and defer their consideration
until the general conference.
The withdrawal of the Austrian
warship at Constantinople to join the
fleet is taken as an unfavorable sign,
and the imminent Servian occupation
of Durazzo, on the Adriatic sea, tends
further to bring Austria and Servsa
toward the breaking point.
On the other hand, the safe arrival
at Uskup Of the Austrian Consul Broc-
haska, who it was feared had been
killed, should lessen the tension, and
the fact that the Austrian Arbassa-
dor lunched today with the Russian
Emperor would seem to indicate that
the relations between these two pow
ers are still cordial.
A majority of the ministers al Con-
stantinople favor continuing the war:
according to dispatch from the
Turkish capital to the Standard. The
minister of War has been ordered not
to accept the Bulgarian proposals,
but to wait for fresh instructions.
The Constantinople correspondent
of the London Daily Telegraph sends
the following dispatch:
"Turkcy is rapidly drifting towards
the triple alliance. A rupture Of the
armistice negotiations is regarded as
imminent and certain. "Both gov
eminent organs-Ikdam and Saba
hun-employ unusual franknc-s IN
discussing the situation. They assert
that while the triple entente-Great
Britain, France ard Russia-is urging
alliance-Austria, Germany and Italy
advises resistance, and, forsceing a
general war, both papers argue that
Turkey should profit thereby TO Sc
cure the best possible bargain when
the settlement comes to be discussed
by the European conference. THIS
they declare can be best attained BY
throwing the Turkish military stfens-
III on the side of the triple alliance"

Il was to have a solid wall on the rail. road side, so that trains could not be seen by horses or other animals crossing the highway, also high pro. tectlng wall on the outside that would prevent any kind of an acci- dent because of frightened teams. etc.
 1t was thoroughly understood that II the railroad bridge was to be built that the highway part was to be Oullt at the same time, and MT. Macon now positively asserts that the provision must be carried out or the bill will not pass congress if it be within his power to prevent it. MT. Macon said he had an eye on the bene- its that were to accrue to Crittenden county in every step that he took in the matter, one of which was that the county would collect taxes on at least one and a million dollars worth of property that it does not now collect taxes on if the bridge was constructed.
 MT. Macon said also he would take the matter up with the railroad con- pany without delay, and that if there was any hesitancy whatever about carrying out the agreement to con struct highway bridge along with the railroad bridge that he would notify them that he would fight the passage of the bill to the bitter end
 Representative McKelar confirms Mir Macon statement with reference 10 the agreement To build the bridge and stated that the people of Mem phis would also be safeguarded in every particular in the bill, which has not vet been reported on by the secretary of war The bill has not even been considered by the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce Mr. Mckellar today wired T.
