mnie forcible proceedings. Should Europe,
as is certain, find it impossible to agree on,
joint "lton, KiiRflia will be able to declare
ibat the failure ol the conference Is the de,
feat of Europs, not of Russia. Meanwhlle
it appears that Russia wishes to make an ar
rangement with Austria respecting tbe joint'
occupation of lltilgaria, and Bosnia. Couut
Andrassy will not hastily agree to this what
ever ho may be driven to do, if Russians?
act ou their own responsibility. The steady
reinforcements o tbe Russian armv proba
bly means no more than tbat the Russians
will cross the Prutb, but without any imme
diate Intention of crossing the Danube. It
Is probable that Turkey would tolerate tbe
presence of Russians in Roumania for a short
time, after which the financial strain, caused
by large armaments which she baa been com
pelled to keep up, would compel her to
choose ber course.
London, Jan. 2.5. Tbo lHics' Vienna spe
cial says: Notwithstanding tbe departure of
tbo ambassadors, no apprehensions seem to
be felt of immediate collision. On the con
trary, both Turkey and Russia may attempt
to Incite diplomatic communication. Tnr
koy, through ber ambassador, has already
sx pressed the bone tbat tba failure of tbe
eonrerence might net alangatfier terminate ,
negoclation. Russia's Initiative on tbe oth-,
er band, would tn tbe first instance aim at
ascertaining tbe position which the various
cabinets mean to take in tbe various cabl
cabinets mean to take in tbe lace of Turkey 's
refusal.with a view to uniting them for a com
mon movement against tbe Porte. Russia
will only act independently if common ac
tion should prove Impossible. As for Rus
sia's acquiescing In tbo failure of tbs confer
ence, it has never been thought or for a mo
ment.
It is now certain tbat the American ship

London, Jan. -W. A Paris dispatch says
the recent hostile opinion of tbe German
press caused a very serious impression there.
French Journals advocate n strict attitude of
non-interference iu regard tn foreign affairs.

of army organization are on foot.
The JiUwtIant'8 Paris dispatch says tbe re
cent killing of a German sailor by some
French seamen at Smydln is magnified by
the Germans into an international difficulty.
Thn French government has ordered an in
quiry nnd will give every satisfaction. The
allajr is tbe result of a drunken brawl.
The Jit's Berlin dispatch states that tbe
feeling of resentment against the French be
cause of her supposed hostility at the Con
stantinople conference continues unabated,
both inofficial circles and among the general
public.

ing tbo attacks of the German press, tbe good
understanding between tbe two govern

Tbe Watchman says: "Seven years ago
