THE SITUATION.

From the Daily Patriot.

“Sr. Perersnura, April 24.

General Milieton is to take command of the army of the Caucasus, and General Kauffman will become Minister of War.

Great preparations for. war are being made in Asia. Twenty-five regiments of Cossacks are to be levied. |

Twelve Russian engineer officers, who were lately at Rome, have started for the Suez Canal and the Persian Gulf.

The fore-posts of the Russian army are within twenty-four hours’ march of Buc- harest.

The Mussulman insurrection extends over one thousand square miles, from Tar- tar Bazarjik and Phillipolis to Gumuldz, China and Scherman. This insurrection has been caused by the intolerable oppre- sion of the Russo-Bulgarian regime.

A battle was fought near Demotica on the 18th. The Russians lost five hundred men, including eight officers.

The demand for reinforcements has greatly reduced the garrison of Adrianople and Philipopilis,

Vienna, April 24.

Kussia fearing that the Turks will per- mit England to occupy the forts on the Bosphorus in the event of war, has asked Germany to guarantee the line of demare- ation during the negotiations. Bismarck is considering this request. te ne =——-—

Alleged Interview with Ignatieff.

The Herald correspondent at St. Peters- burg telegraphs that he had a conversation with General Ignaticif in which the General summed up the political situation as follows: “England continues to show her teeth. Austria is almost appeased. England wishes to act only by diplomacy and refuses to declared war apenly. mand strict neutrality. France had a tend- enoy towards England, but the President and chiefs of the army want to remain quiet and keep on good terms with Russia. To sum up, the chances of an understanding are increasing gradually but slowly. We must wait for some time for a solution. The Congress wii! perhaps be replaced by arbitration with England, but nothing positive can be said on that point yet.”

————-ai> 668 >

The Attitude of England.

Says. the London ‘“‘ Spectator’:—‘‘ It should be noted that while the Press of the Continent is almost unanimous in praising England for threatening Russia, no Centi- nental Power has as yet shown any willing- ness to take serious part in a war with that country. The idea obviously is that if England will do the whole work, that will be very pleasant, and the foreign Powers will se on complacently. We believe there is a feeling on the Continent, which explains a great deal of .this attitude— namely, a kind of indignation that England alone in the world should be free from the miseries of war. England, once remarked an Italian of importance, ‘ Eng- land is too dam. comfortable !’ and the re- mark roughly embodies Continental feeling. Tt was displayed in the same way just be- fore the Abyssinian Expedition... ‘Ah!’ said the French journalists, not ill pleased, ‘England also is now to have her Mexico.’ We did not have one, and may escape one this time, but to quote lists of the journals which are patting us on the back. is rather undignified. ”

The English Budget.

li appears, from the Budget siatement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the total revenue was estimated at £79,146,000 and it had produced £79,763,298.. The total expenditure was £7&,903,495, With regard to the vote of credit of six millions, three and a half millions had been expend- ed, which created a deficit of £2,640,000, to meet which the Government had issued Exchequer bonds for £2,750,000. The de- ficit Parliament would have to meet for the present year was estimated at_ 45,300,000. To meet this he proposed to add 2d per £1 to the income tax,,to impose an additional duty of 4d per pound on tobacco, and, to raise the dog tax from 5s to 7s 6d; buta shepherd should be entitled to keep one or two dogs free of taxation. He expected thus to increase the ways and means of the year by £3,750,000, which would leave £1,- 550,000 for the following year. On the resolution as to the tobacco duties, Major Nolan divided the House against the pro- posed increase of 4d per Ib., but the resolti- tion was adopted by 204 votes against 24. The resolution of the income tax was like- wise agreed to, and that as to the dog tax was postponed.

In the American Congress, the move- ment to do away with the national bank- rupt law is so strong, that its success this session is generally expected. There are, in several of the States, bankrupt laws which were suspended by the National Act, and which would be immediately ae by its re thus bringing back ail the old con- Ce eatd siege from different State laws that the Act was designed to remedy. It is said that meantime many persons who desire to avail themselves of the national law ‘are hurrying up to “get through” ere it be too late.

GENERAL NEWS.

A new conflict is threatened between the Catholic Church and the Brazilian Govern- ment.

It is thought probable the first-class of the British naval reserve will shortly be called out.

The Messrs. Rothschild, of London, have taken ten million of the new 44 per cent. bonds of the United States.

Greece is making vigorous preparations for war. She can now furnish 100,000 soldiers and 10,000 sailors.

Information has been received. at Wash- ington that Minister Foster recognized the Mexican Government on the 9th inst.

A serious riot is reported near Glasgow, some miner's on a strike attacking sheriff's officers who were serving notices of eject- ment,

The International Sunday School Cen- vention, which has been in session at At- lanta, Ga., this week, decided to hold the next meeting in this city.

THE Toronto “ Leader,” aptly charac- terizes the proposed duty on flour—pro- posed by Brown, and seconded by Ross— oth Ministeralists—as “ this strange semi- Governmental proposition.”

The Speaker of the English House of Commons has just deposed before a Parlia- mentary Committee that a six months’ ses- sion is not sufficient to enable the House to go through the greater pressure of Parlia- mentary business.

A communication. has been received at Washington addressed to the President and Congress from the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, intimating that a lower duty on French wines would tend to increased com- mercial intercourse between the United States and France.

The financial losses of Russia during the war have been enormous. Eight hundred million roubles were spent in preparing for and conducting the war, and by the time the troops are back, this sum will have swelled to 850,000,000 roubles. The war has thus increased the Russian debt by nearly one-half.

Two diametrically opposed opinions are already showing themselves in regard to the cadets of the Military College. Sir John Macdonald would like to see as many of them go into the British Army as possible. Mr. Jones suggests that this might soon cause opposition on the ground that Canada should train cadets for herself and not for the empire.

Jeanne Donst, born in 1870, is attracting attention in Paris as a musical prodigy, At a recent concert she played pieces by Mo- zart, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann and Sebastian Bach, not only with extraordi- nary mechanical facility, but with intelli- gence that would. have done credit to far older performers.. The other day she per- formed, accompanied by a full orchestra, Mozart's ninth cencerto by heart.

From Washington comes serious news, if well founded. In official circles at the cap- ital there is some fear that the labor riots of last year may be resumed the coming sum- mer with even greater violence. It is said they broke out last summer prematurely, and there is a suspicion that preparations have been made to renew the attack on. property and business with better organiza- tion. ;

English farmers are rejoicing in the pros- pect of the first good season they have had for four or five years. Aecounts. from all parts of Great Britain agree. in saying that the land was never in: better order, and that the spriig.crops were never put in witha better chance of success. Grain is cheap, but the farmers do"not hold «much of it, while stock is very dear, notwithstanding that there is an enormous lot of roots left over.

The ‘‘ Times,” commenting on a despatch from St. Petersburg to the effect that Ger- many’s mediation is likely to be successful, says:—‘‘ We cannot. afford any more en- gagement of an imperfect accuracy. It is necessary, therefore, for the present to en- tertain with reserve the encouraging hopes held out to us by the mediation now offered and, however, hopeful may have been the preliminary iiterchange of views, it will also be necessary for our Government to consider with great care the specific propo- sition which is made to them. No alarm need be arouséd by the proclamation of . the Queen prohibiting the export of war ma- terial as the prohibition is a necessary pre- caution so long as we are compelled to con- template the possibility of having to assert our interest by foree.”

The appetite of Europe is of some conse- quence to the United States. In addition to the vast quantities of grain exported thither we have the following “ animal products” during a single month, Feb : Bacon and hams, 0,342,777 Ibs.; pork, 5,064,115 Ibs.; pickled beef, 4,995,950 Ibs. ; fresh beef, 4,894,514 Ibs.; lard, 41,865,433 lbs,; butter, 721,464 lbs.; and cheese, 3,+ 338,722 lbs.—the aggregate value, including tallow, amounting to $13,655,218.
