A London Bpecial saya : "In English military cir cles war is considered almost inevit able. Arrangements are completed and regiments alloted for an army of 80,000 and steps already taken toward the formation of a nucleus for a reserve army. Profound uneasiness prevails here and there is great depression in trade and finance." London, Dec 29. The Paris corres pondent of the Ttypez telegraphs : "Min ister Waddington has notified foreign governments that the French cabinet will, in the event of a conclave conform to the understanding subsistnig among the four Catholic powers as re gards the internal ecclesiastical policy of France. It will defend public wor ship estimates from those wishing -to assail them, but will protecfrthe secular society from clerical encroachments. In regard to the eastern question, M Waddington thinks France may pre serve a purely expectant attitude until the belligerents have opened negotia tions, and when her opinion is asked she will give it with the candor author ized by such an attitude. He does not hesitate to say at once that she could not regard with indiCence any changes in the Mediterranean or in the agitation of the small surrounding States by theuestions whiSh might be raised in connection with the purely Eastern question. France is disinterest ed." Belgrade, Dec 59. The Servian troops captured Pierct, about 35 miles southeast of Nisch, with a quantity of guns and ammunition; no details. St Petersburg, Dec 29. Official in telligence has been received announc ing the success of the Chinese troops in Kazhgar. They had fortified Touch tongaran and Ask a, two strong strate gical points.- The inhabitants are flee ing in terror to Russian territory. London Dec 29. A special dispatch from Bucharest to the Times says it is impossible to procure full information regarding the condition of the Russian and Roumanian soldiers and Turkish prisoners on the way to Bucharest du ring the snow storm, but from discon nected details it is evident that there was terrible suffering among them. London, Dec 29. The limes to-day in a leading article says ''the announce ment that the Sultan has invited Her Majesty's government to approach the Czar with a view of bringing about ne gotiations for peace will tend to calm some of the fears which have been ex citing the country and to hold out the ACil war mur Ko WHisv, orace-jaoje quietly than by the shock di um.. -- q.u,vn has taken the only course consistent with a calm review of what the war has already done and what it must do if it should last much longer. The cir cular to the powers showed that the peace party at the Porte had for a time got the upper hand. It proposed terms which would no doubt nave Deen inad missible even before the war, and which would not bear discussion after the terrible battles of the last six months, but the Porte did not intend the circular to be taken as its last word. Now that all the powers have courte ouslv but firmly declined to approach Russia with impossible conditions, the Sultan has wisely asked this country to use its good offices to briDg about ne gotiations for peace. It is important that the government should conduct negotiations in a spirit absolutely free from partisanship. We are not parties to the present contest : as mediators our essential duty is to convey a mes sage from one power with which we have no quarrel to another power with which we have no quarrel. vve nave doubtless great interests at stake, po litical as well as commercial, and they will-lie urged at the proper moment; but meanwhile it is our drty to act as a friendly intermediary and not as rulers of the Indian Empire. To take a side with one of the two powers which we must bring into contact, would simply be to make our mission useless and destroy the prospect of peace Our government will t have to ascertain whether Russia is willing to open ne gotiations and what are her conditions of peace. It will thenhave to offer Turkey such advice as may seem pro per, and to present her answer. It may have to reason in an earo ear-spirit wiw both belligerents in order to secure a common ground. It may be obliged to urge the Porte on. the one .hand to be wise in timet and; Russia - on the other not to demand "such-termaas ' would goad the Turks to desperate courses, and thus multiply the perils of Europe. While a mediator may seem to aot as the advocate now of one pow er and now of anofher, the argu ments must be dictated purely by a spirit of conciliation. No .doubt the .

Twov meetings of workingmen were held'' in Trafalgar Bquargo-dayf One was jwo-Turkisn, and the other anft-Turkish. Seven thousand persons were present. The meetings resulted in a free fight, last ing an hour. The police interfered. Two arrests were made. Nobody of importance was present. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. -. Schurz Intends to Remain in the Cabinet Any how The President and Wife will Receive no Presents-Outrage by a Loyal Wash ington Negro. Washington, Dec 29. Evarts is quoted that "the President may re nominate persons whom the Senate has rejected." A special to the Baltimore Sun says that Secretary Schurz states personally that he has a work to perform in his present position and that he intends to remain in the cabinet and do it unless he is removed. Also "the President, and Mrs Hayes have distinctly intimated to their friends that no presents will be receiv ed on the occasion of the approaching celebration of their silver wedding." Washington, Dec 29. A negro knocked down, outraged and robbed a sixteen-year-old girl, between six and seven o'clock last evening in the north-eastern part of the isity. The brute, on leaying his prostrate victim, gave her a parting kick. A like out rage occurred in the same locality a month ago. Judge Lynch is orgaaiz ing a court. Washington, Dec 29. Commission er Raum, of Internal Revenue, to-day directed the abatement of the tax as sessed against the State Savings Bank, of Chicago, amounting to over $20,000. There are six other insolvent Chicago savin gs banks in whose cases similar relief will probably be granted to the depositors. It is understood that Com missioner Raum has addressed a letter to the committee on Wavs and Means recommending thatjTi savings banks, without distinction, mall be relieved from taxation. He, however1, favors the retention, for the present, of the tax on banks and bankers, and is strongly opposed to any change in the existing rate ot taxation on whiskey and tobacco. It is said that Asa A Clark is to be appointed postmaster at Cincinnati, One of the applicants for the place is Miss Wilbur, a family school mistress of Mrs Hayes. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. Gleanings from the Old and New Worlds News in a Nutshell. New York, Dec 29.

A special from Shenandoah, Pa , says : It is just as certaioed that a strise among the en- j gineers on the Delaware, Lackawana & Western, New Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley and Reading Railroads is in contemplation, and will probably take place on the 1st of January. The al leged movement is a result of the re cent order issued by the Delaware, Lackawana & Western Railroad Com pany, to the effect lhat they will not retain in their employ any engineers after the first of the year that may belong to the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers." 1L 4. 51 BD mm wnn w Have used Dr Ball's Congh Svrnp and pronounce it the best medicine in nse case of consumption here was cared use.

The reason why only one sample bottle of Menell's Hepatine for the Liyer will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into this country, but as there are fifty deses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com plaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all druggists.

A .Boston spe cial eays that W JS Chandler was in town yesterday and talked -freely in relation to his recent letter. Referring to the statement that his letter did not contain proof of serious imputations against the. President as to the bargain with the South by which he stepped in to office, Mr Chandler said he thought he had made very plain 'and- direct statements indeed, and he felt no doubt whatever that unless 'answered they would carry conviction wherever they were candidly considered. His attention being called to a published statement that if be chose to1 reveal what he knew concerning ithe count in Florida Mr Hay eff would forfeit his seat. Mr Chandler said that that state ment was entirely vwith but authority. The vote" in "Florida, he said, was just as fairly cast for Hayes as was that of Massachusetts, only by a; smaller : ma that he was a resident in Florida at the time, and knows whereof he speaks. , Referring to other suggestions 1 that were thrown out, that he was keeping a good deal in reserve, he said : "I do not suppose for a moment that I have exhausted all the information I may have acquired in the course of a life time in this letter, but I have put forward, so far as I thought necessary, the whole truth in the matter referred to, at least all that was called for by the occasion," t We do NOT-nronnae .
