The czar lenvca to-dny for Moscow and from that historic city will issue his manifesto or declara tion of war. if such an extreme metis uro should become necessary. Sir Edward Thornton, British uiin- ' lsler to St Pelersbnrg, has reported oflicinlly respecting Russia's vicwd of the 1-st request of England, asking for au explanation of the conduct of General KomarolT at Penjdeh.

The I'mt edi tonally, says: "The fact that the war credit was voted on without any one venturing n reply to Mr. Glad stone, is unprecedented in this or any other country. Mr. Gladstone's lan- guagd is too signiGcant to require comment. "The attack on Penjdeh must either be justified or atoned for.' The Tcliuraph cannot believe that such a spectacle as the decision of the nonse will be lost upon Kussta. Such speeches as thai delivered by Mr. Gladstone raise politics to a high er level. The government has no in formation with reference to the re port that the czar is goint; to Mos cow. The conservatives had intended to move adjournment of the credit de bate in tho house nf commons, but seeing the effect of Mr. Gladstone's speech, refrained. Jjord Randolph Churchill, on entering the house later, was surprised to find that a vote of credit had already been agreed to. The News, in an editorial this morning, says: "There is strong hope that matters have not reached war points in the negotiations be tween England and Russia. St. Petersburg, April 27.- Seven million rubles in gold have been sent to central Asia. The decision as to peace or war is expected to-morrow, or at the latest bvMayl.

It is estimated that the ameers forces number 50,000 men and sixty guns. Neither the Finland diet nor the press has made proposals to equip privateers, nor nave x iiinisu canons offered to man privateers.

Iu the house of commons this afternoon Lord Ed mund Eitzmnurico, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, said ho was happy to state that the govern ment wason tho point of arriving at an arrangement of the misunder standing with Franco, growing ont of the suppression of the Jiosphore Egyptien.
