general business purposes, lines of tel
egraph alone, over or under any line
of railroad which it owns or controls.
The bill also authorizes railroad com
panies to lease or consolidate such tel
egraph lines, iff whole or in part, and
to appoint agents or lessees to operate
them for the transaction -of general
telegraphic business. It js.further pro
vided that belore any railroad compa

Londoji, April 15i-rhef a Timtt1 1 St
Petersburg correspondent, telegraphing
Sunday, " does not give suoh a hopeful
report of the state of feeling in Russia,
lie says the efforts of Germany may
perhaps lead to a preliminary, confer
ence as the British government is now
believed to be more favorable to such
me warns e excitement is
intense in Moscow.
The ' Vienna correspondent of the
ZYm& says according to trustworthy
private information the Germany gov
ernment fully understands; the difficul
ty of its mediatory task. It thinks the
chances' of success pretty, ' eyenly baK
anced, but having once undertaken the
task it seems- to have embraced it to
its' full extent. The correspondent
thinks the principal difficulty is to
make some arrangement to obviate the
dageer of a cdlbion at Constantino-
pie.
The JtJerlin correspondent of the Vi
enna Moutags Poet, mho. is usually well
informed, says Brince Bismarck as
mediator will be unsuccessful if Eng
land persists in her present attitude.
it is said that Kussia is iooking out
for a loan in America. It is under
stood that negotiations bavei also been
opened in Germany and Holland.
The Post s Berlin special says it is
reported that the new loan will amount
to fifty million roubles independently of
the fifty millions in th treasury, the
bonds to be issued immediately.
A special to the Itmer from Turnsev
enn reports 10,000 Roumanian troops
concentrated there. Prince Charles is
expected. . The feeling of the troops
against Russia is bitter. '
The Times has the following from
Belgrade : "Russia is endeavoring to
gam a Servian alliance in the event of
a fresh war. The Frince favors the al
liance but the cabinet opposes it. Gen
Leech jaoiif has gone to St Petersburg
to represent this state of anairs.
The war preparations continue un
remittingly.
A ministerial crisis is probable.
The Daily Telegraph's Berlin dispatch
states that the Prince of Roumania has
notified the Emperors of Germany and
Austria of his intention to abdicate if
Russia is permitted to usurp the gov
ernment ot Boumania.
The Telegraph's Vienna correspond
ent says the Turks have again stopped
work in consequence of the Russian
remonstrance.
The same correspondent states that he
hears that Kussia will occupy Kouma-
nia and disarm the arhiy as soon as an
Anglo-Russian war ia inevitable. If
Count Aadrassy's views prevail Austria
will resist such step. ,
me state oi anairs wun eierence co
the Eastern question remains substan
tially the same. There is no change in
the attitude of the' powers : The main
point between JSnglaud and Kussia is
still unsettled, and while this is the case
the prospect of the congress and of a
peaceful arrangement of the whole dif
ficulty is as far off as ever. There is
a strong feeling in both countries that
war inevitable. .
At St Petersburg the belief is stated
to prevail that England'; willingness
to continue negotiations is rather for
the purpose of isolating Russia than
arriving at an understanding. Som e
influential persons believe that Eng
land will not go to war - alone, hence
her earnest efforts continue to satisfy
Austria. -
Some moderate men in official circles
have begun censuring the Russian
Generals, diplomat and newspapers
for pushing the government into a po
sition where the issue between Russian
independent action and European con
trol is unavoidable ; but the majority
of the public continue to declare that
the government has been, too concilia
tory and the press opposes any conces
sion.
Germany's efforts to bring about an
understanding continue, but this last is
rendered delicate and difficult by the
existing intimate relations between
Germany and Russia. Prince Bismarck
is reported to have said recently, in re
ply to suggestions, that he should me
diate: "We cannot oner counsel to
Russia, for advice on our part would
almost look like a menace."
According to trustworthy mforma
tion from Berlin, the chances of the
m ... T
success oi tne . present pour paries are
still thought to be pretty- evenly bai

Tht Supreme Conrt Decides that TSo
State Can Deny Him the Bight to Sit
as Such.
Washington, April 15. This mon
ning Col Geo C Dayenport, of Wheeli
ing,. W Va, accompanied hy.W H La?
mon and H H .Blackburn , , applied to
the chief justice of the Supreme Court
for a writ of error to a judgment of the
Supreme Court of Appeals of West
Virginia, in the case of a colored man,
Taylor Strauder, who had been indict
ed, tried, convicted and twice sen te ne
ed to death in the courts of West Vir
ginia. Therefore, the court cf that
State having affirmed the last sentence,
application was made to the chief vua-
tice fora writ of error to the State
court, on the ground that the law ol
West Virginia, prohibiting colored cit
izens lrom serving on juries in that
State, is in violation of the constitution
and statutes of the United States. The
chief justice took the papers and record
of the case in the State court, and af
ter the adjournment of the Supreme
Court to-day, and after consultation
with the associate justices, he awarded
the writ of error.
The first trial of this case was in
1872, and Strauder has been under sen
tence of death ever since. The same
question presented in this case was
also presented in the celebrated case
of the negro JoLn J lohver, tried at
Martinsburg, W Va, but before the aU
torneys in that case perfected it for the
United States Supreme Court, Toliver
was taken from the jail by a mob and
hanged. It appeared afterwards that
he was innocent of the murder with
which he was charged.
As West Virginia is the only State
which prohibits colored men sitting on
juries, the case presented to the chief
justice this morning is an interesting
one.
