If war ear ly in the spring is averted, oflioi::! anticipation will be deceived and military expectation disappointed. Within the past few days it has become a settled conviction in diplomatic circles that the czar's pacific tendencies have been over borne by the pan-Slavish faction, and that he is now under the con trol of the war party leaders, some of whom are likely to precipitate a war by some act of provocation, committed without the czar's full consent. The return of General Von Schweinitz, German ambassador to St. Petersburg, was hoped to be signalized by a decisive turn of the tide peaceward. The conference between Von Schweinitz and Dc Giers, the Russian prime minister, on Thursday last, had a contrary result. Whatever passed during the interview has deepened the distrust in Berlin and increased the irritation of the Russian gov ernment toward the czar's minis ters. De Giers appears to have abandoned his policy of peace pressure upon the czar and to have thrown his influence upon the side of the military party. He is re ported as telling Von Schweinitz that the czar is sincerely desirous of peace, but is unable to tolerate longer Austrian duplicity in thwarting Russia's endeavors to obtain the first fruits of her sacri fices in the Balkan campaign. De Giers has also complained of Col. Kalnaky's language in refer ence to Russia declaring it unbear able and that it justifies every measure Russia might take to re inforce her troops on the frontier. An ominous indication of the extreme tension of the situation is the bellicose tone of the St. Pe tersburg papers towards Austria. Bulgaria, the papers say, must be deprived of any shadow of indi viduality and become a Russian province, while Austria must be forced to- evacuate Bosnia and Herzegovina. An inspired article in the Grashilamti states that the Russian government has obtained knowledge that the terms of the treaty of alliance leave Germany free, not to interfere unless Aus tria is threatened with a collapse which would involve territorial SONS BECK losses. This is contrary to the of ficial press of Vienna and Pesth, which treats the war question as a common matter between Austria and German. Beilin official views concur with that of the Austrian press. The report that count Von Wolkenstein, the Austrian ambas sador at St. Petersburg, had re ceived assurances from De Giers that movements of troops had ceased, is semi-ofiicially denied from Vienna to-night. The reas suring representation would be useless in the face of facts during the past week. Russian cavalry and light artillery have been pushed forward to the extreme outposts. A careful estimate gives Russia eight and a kalf army corps within the frontier districts of Warsaw, Wilna and Kieff, with 120 field batteries ag.iinstthe com bined Austrian and German force of five and a half army corps, with S2 batteries. Russia has also an immense preponderance in cavalry strength. A Valuable 3Iedical Treatise. The edition for 1SSS of the sterling Medi cal annual, known as llostetter's Almauac.
