Interference Prepare for
General Conflict.
ALL C0NSOLS FALLING
Worst Market PanicS of a Gen.
tury Indicate Unrest in All
European Capitals.

Paris, July 29.-The Temps
says Russia was officially in
formed today that Austria Hun
gary would respect the terrific
rial integrity of Servia and
wishes to abstain from occupy
ing Belgrade, the Servian cap
ital.
London, July 29.-While Austria
Hungary is preparing to strike at
Servia, the rest of the European ma
tions are getting ready for the greater
war that must ensue should Russia in
tervene in behalf of Servia..
The condition of the London and
situation is considered very grave. On
the London exchange British consols
dropped at one time to 691z. the low
est since the early years of the last
century Government brokers came
into market at this point and bought
all consols obtainable at 701k. A rally
brought the price of consols back to
71h. Five failures are reported, none
of much consequence. There is not
much doing on the exchange
At Amsterdam, ST Petersburg and
Liverpool the exchanges are closed
for the day. The Berlin bourse decid-
ed against closing. but resolved to
suspend dealing in securities handled
for settlement. This includes the
principal stocks, but dealings in the
cash market continue. Later the
bourse committee announced dealings
would be permitted to limited degree.
Bankers displayed a pessimistic mood.
Movement of Troops.
Dispatches from Vienna showed
movements of Austrian forces towards
the Servian frontiers are proceeding
steadily but censorship prevented in
formation as to the exact destination
of the troops reaching the outside
world.
Anxiety was added to by orders to
the British fleet at Portland to sail
for destination not revealed to the
public.
montcnc9rtnS Active.
Montenegrins are making active
preparations and have stationed bri-
gade with a mountain battery near
Pribej where women are building
earthworks. Servian and Austrian avi-
ators were flying along the frontiers
trying to locate the positions of the
opposing forces.
Another danger has arisen owing to
the uneasiness in Germany at the
preparations being made by Russia
along her frontier.
Reports come through from Vienna
that Russian Poles have organized a
revolution and have blown up several
magazines and that several bombs ex-
ploded at the principal postoffice in
Warsaw on Monday and killed and
wounded many persons. but there is
no confirmation of this from other
sources.
German Tone Peaceful.
Berlin, July 29.-The North German
Gazette, the official organ of the Ger
man government, will publish this eve
ming the following: "The peaceful tone
of the official Russian communication
issued yesterday, finds a lively echo

ment shares the wishes of Russia for
the maintenance of peaceful relations
and hopes the German people will sup

through the main streets to the British |
and French embassies, where there |
were scenes of enthusiasm.

the crowds without great disorder.

issued the following official commune |

Numerous patriotic demonstrations |
of the last few days in st. Petersburg |
and other cities prove that the firm |
pacific policy of Russia finds a SYM
pathetic echo among all classes of the |
population.
"The government hopes, neverthe- !
less, tha: the expression OF feeling of
the people will not be tinged with en-
