London, May 5.?Some anxiety about the- oom dition ol things in Eastern Lurope has rather suddenly sprung up during this week. There aro rtoriei of Montenegrin movement*, of disturbances In Macedonia, and of fresh diplomatic difficulties between Turkey and Greece. Whatever effer? vescence, there may be, Russia ii responsible for. The Czar seems nady to put himself in the hands of the Panslavist party, and has restored to office. General Bogdanoviteh, one of the chief Panslavist lenders. An explosion in the Balkans seems pos? sible, but is rather less probable when announced beforehand. In France, on the other hand, there is a lull in the Boulan-*ist excitement, One writer goes so far as to say that the frenzy is over, and that even In the Department of the Nord (.ieneral Boulanger today could not be re-elected. No doubt General Boulanger _ nianaj-ers un' perplexed, but to sup? pose that they are ready to abandon him is to ?.appose too much. M. Carnot's tour, whieh it was thought might give rise to Boiilnngist demonstra? tions, has on thc contrary, been mildly successful for the President There is nn obvious wish on the part of those in authority at (harlottenburg to persuade the pub? lic that the Emjieror is really better. Political -motives will account for this attempt. Tho truth appears to be that thc Emperor lins not rallied from the last crisis, though the acute stage of it is over for the moment. His strength is no longer equal to work. He remains in bed all or nearly all day, and the fever lias not been quite shaken off. Reports arc heard that Dr. Mac? kenzie is coming to London, but those who ought to know best do not expect to see him at present. Whether any decision has been taken by Mr. ; Parnell respecting the Pope's Irish circular is | not yet known, but will be known on Tuesday. ? The Eighty Club will then entertain Mr. Farnell , at dinner, nnd Mr. Parnell wil s*ie.ik, and will ' make, according to the National organ, an im- | portent pronouncement, whatever that phrase j may mean. His friends say that he will endeavor to avoid a stru^f-lc with the Pope, but there is no man whose friends arc so little likely to know what ho means M Mr. Parnell. All the probabil? ities, however, are in favor of some middle course. If one can be discovered. Mr. Gladstone also ?peaks next week and is exacted to break a lance with his old enemy, the Pope. Mr. Goschen has carried through the House his Customs and Inland Revenue bill, after a parting shot from Mr. Gladstone. The political situation has so much changed since he made his Budget speech that the same organ which wel? comed his proposals now denounces them as not , nodally beneficial nor financially sound. There have been concessions, as there always are, on j minor matte*-*, but Mr. O-nsehen fias stood to his \ guns, abandoned no principle, and sacrificed no j ?sscotial detail of this complicated scheme. The Royal Academy Exhibition is, by general Consent thc best of recent years, lt includes nt least a dozen pictures of surimssing inrit, and many scores which attain to excellence. Tho artists who come out in greatest strength aro Sir Frederick Leighton, the president: Sir John Milla-, and Mr. Alma Tadema, each with but a singlo painting; Mr. Iloll, whoso portraits are numerous; Mr. Orehardson, whose one picture seems to me on a higher level than?popular as he ls?he has before reached; our countryman, Mr. Fargent; M. Carolus Duran, nnd Mr. Leader, one of whose landsea-x-s is the solidest piece of work which he has yet done, while another is beautiful In iu delicate luminousness. Mr. Herkomcr is hardly to be included, for he is below himself. Sir Frederick Leighton's ' Captive Andromache"" ls distinguished bf thoM qualities in which thc President of the Academy is actually, as well as nominally, the head of Enplish art, b3* learning, finish, accuracy in drawing, and perfect balance In composition. It has, in addition, vigor and ? human interest not always so conspicuous in him. "Miirtly Moss, Perthship-."" is such a land? scape as Sir John Millais has mt painted 6ince his ? Chill October,'' and is not excelled by that in truth or beauty. This is, perhaps, even more attractive by its warmth and delicacy of color? ing. Mr. Alma Tailcma's ? Kemps i.f Heliojg.ibalus" is a sensation. He hus seldom painted a larder and never a more brilliant work. Half of the surface is a garden of roses, from which emerge admirable heads and equally admirable figures of the Emperor and his friends, gaziug down from above. Portraits abound more than iver. Mr. IIoll's are most numerous of all His Mr. Gladstone Mataram earliest mention, not for its merits but for its subject. This portrait, in fact, brings out in strong relief all those evil qmlities which his friends know he does not possess. It has force and fire, but thc force and fire are from below. "He has made him look like a dynamiter:'' cried one spectator. Wry different is the same artist's Earl Spencer. Mr. Holl hus not suc? ceeded in transferring to the canvas tiiat air of distinction which characterizes Lord Spencer, but this apart, the likeness is exact and the painting a masterly rendering of all that the artist saw in his subject This and Mr. Holl's Sir William Jenner are the finest, -Hirtraits in tbe exhibition from any English hand. M. Carolus Duran's Pasteur is finer still. Mr. Sargent's portrait of Mrs. Marquand is hardly less remarkable for dignity, refinement and seriousnesa in treatment. Mm Boit is all alive on another canvas by Mr. Sargent, but is jwinted with a les-, restrained BBBBB of humor than respect to his subject required. Mr. Richmond's Prince Bismarck mis-..-, iv. ry trait which makes Knot llisniarek what lie is. Vi-, countess Hood, hy Mr. Ku Inn,.ntl. is showy r.ith.T than brilliant, nor did Natur.- milly intend this beautiful woman for a trap'-iy queen.

May waa like other private views in the same galleries, * Kijantic drum. From lo in the morning till P??t 6 in tho afternoon the Academy was thronged MM ?**>Ple of distinction and of no distinction, wonru-n of fashion were numerous, and so ***o those to whom fashion has noshing **t aay. It was a milliner'* paradise. Well known men there were in crowds, but the honors of the day clearly belong to the other sex. Newmarket lins been the ?cen* of two racing catastrophes not often eurjiassed. The defeat of Friar's Balsam for the Two Thousand Guineas, followed by that of Seabreeze in the One Thousand, have occasioned more than a mere sensation. There is almost a financial crisis in the turf world, so heav.ly were both these favorites backed. However, there are no fresh scandals afloat. That Friar s Balsam was amiss is now conceded, but it is, 1 believe, not known that he ran with a broken jaw. Such ls the fact all unsuspected as it was by the trainer and owners. This horse, which ran in the name of Sir Frederick Johnstone, is in part owned by Lord Alington. Lady Hayter'* pirty thi* evening ls a welcome i proof that social ostracism is not to be generally practised upon political opponents. Among her guest* are to be found nonny of all three creeds. Lady Hayter, who has cA-'brity of her own as a hostess, is one of the mosf convinced of Liberalr. Her party was preceded by a dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, but she has thought it possible that they might be glad to meet political enemies in her beautiful house, and even that political enemies might be glad to meet the Homo Rule ' leadc.T. Nay, the fact that Mr. Gladstone has dined with Mr. Farnell as a fellow-guest does ; not prevent certain Tories from sitting at table with him. ..Two dinners aro to lie Riven him next week. at which public diffcrenees will be disregarded. They are given by Liberals, but I'nionists are of the company. No recent case, I fear, can be cited when' thc host himself is a Unionist. Tlie latest that I know of was a din? ner at Lord Rothschild's, nearly two months since. Comments on thut historical Gladstonc-I'aniell dinner continue to bc heard. They are in public , framed with some reserve of speech, in private ' with none. Mr. Lowell arrived at Liverpool Tuesday even- I lng, after a comparatively quick passage; com? paratively, considering that he came by the (Vp 1 alonia from Boston and was but little more than len days on the Atlantic. He reached London Wednesday afternoon, in excellent health, and is established in the house which he occupied last I year, in Radnor place. The London papers do : not publicly concern themselves with his coming, ; nnd he has not been Interviewed. Mr. James ; Payne, however, in the " Note-Book" whieh he '? l-rints weekly in a pictorial paper, contrives to ] mingle praise of Mr. Lowell with impertinence to his country; a true British blend. G.

The Daily News ? who was sent to Hot Springs, I Ark., to ascertain further particulars regarding the Southern Immigration Association recently formed there, reports that thc Church of Home has decided to propagandize the South, and that the plan of the Association is to colonize tho region with poor Roman Catholics who can bc In? duced to leave their native lands. The convention finished its labors on April 25. " This convention, in the composite charnct? r of ita attendance, was unique," writes " The News" correspondent. " The Roman Catholio ' hierarchy was present in the person of Cardinal i Gibbons, Archbishop of Ha I ti ni,ire, ond of many other prelates and priests eminent for learning nnd J culture. Thc Southern States were represented by General Fitzhugh Lee, Governor of Virginia, who presided; by Governor Gordon, of Georgia; by the Governor of South Carolina, and by delegate appointed by the executives of eight other States. In addition to these prelates and priests, these Governors and State representatives, there were nt least 200 gentlemen from all parts of the South representing their respective communities; also a very considerable number of the foremost railroad officials of the trunk lines east of the Mississippi River. Such a gathering means something What ? Why has Rome deroloped such an interest in the South ns to have her ranking priest, Cardinal Gibbons, her bishops nf Nashville, of Savannah, ap.I a half score of growing cities in the South lenve their dioceses tn niteiiel a convention that ordinarily would have drawn to it none but business men and railroad magnates '.' ?? The intent um is clear. Rome has decided to pro-mgnndize the South. The Southern Slate tt are aroused to their n.-od of greater populations, of an increased diversity of industries. Tlie railroads desire lo swill ihe volume ol travel and freight transportation. Rome, ever watchful, lias noted these things carefully, and in them rata lier opportunity. The futuro wealth of the South is assured. Europe is overcrowded. Tens of thousands of Rome's children could be Influenced by the Church to leave their native hinds and settle in the South. They could be planted in colonies in all the Statis nnd thus form thc nucleuses for th" inroad of Catholicism. " The. speech of Cardinal Gibbons was a master? piece of policy.. From the moment he took his seat until the convention adjourned, all the pro ceedinirs wen- in harmony with his thoughts. The resolutions adopted provided for the organization of the Southern Immigration Association, with head? quarters in New-York, and for the raising of a large fund, by $1,000 snseriptions from railroads, from public and privnte. corporations, and from trade and industrial organizations in ali fhe South? ern States east of the Mississippi River." In conclusion the correspondent, writes: "Rome's jilims have" been kept out of sight, Immigration from Europe was suggested, nothing more. Had the idea been made conspicuous that the work in hand was to bring as many colonists as pos? sible from Europe to the South, there would have been some dissent, foi there were many members of the c.invention who represented communities that are totally opposed to an influx of foreigners. Had it been boldly put forth that, special effort! would be mad." among European Roman Catholics, there would have been many objections, for the South, as a whole, is overwhelmingly Protestant. Put corporations are soulless. Ali these powers will naturally joiu the oraanintion. Evidently the hierarchy has studied the situation carefully and enters upon its work with reOOOO?bk hopes of success." WASTS f2.-i.000 FOR PREACH OF PROMISE. MR. BB Wm r>Y fis II KI l-l.

THE KESULT Of THK CHICAOO Ol'NVrWTION?WHAT EMMO.fS BLAINB HAS YO BAY. BX TCLE-RAPtf TO TUB TKIIIl'IB. 1 Pittsbcro. May j.?"There ls no doubt that the atti? tude of many Uopubllcans toward Mr. Ulallie has changed.- said Chairman B. W, Jones, of the Hepuh. "ean National Committee, today. "In 1376 Mr. Blaine was defeated for the nomination by some Ite publlcan politicians. In 1680 the same thing occurred again, but In 18H4 the people were too strong for these gentlemen. It ls e mistake to suppose that the politicians who opposed Mr. Blaine had a personal disliking for him. They opposed him because they | knew he had strong friendships, and they believed that there would be no political and official gain for them in the event of tho election of Mr. Blaine. A careful re? view of the situation up to the present time end an examination of tho proceedings of the various State conventions held so far, convinces me that a far greater number of politicians now favor Mr. Blaine's nomination than In '8_" " Do you think that the opposition among a certain cia** of Kepubllcans In New-York has died out with the death of Koacoe Conkllng?" 'I think that In reality Mr. Conkllng did not have as much power In New-York a,s was generally attributed to him. Of course, he Influenced the result In his own county, and I think he did so at the instance of his friends." '? What do you think of tho various stories circulated of late- In regard to Mr. Blaine's Intentions and physi? cal condition?'* "Bo far as his health ls concorned Mr. Blaine ls as well as he ordinarily ls, barring a slight cold. Some of the stories told about'him are absurd. To group some of them Into one general denial, I may say that Mr. Blaine has not decided tn be a candidate, ho has ?not asked his friends to make an aggressive movement In his behalf, he has not written any letters declining the nomination a secona time, and lt ls not true thut he will lie on the ocean and out of reach of tho tele? graph when the convention ls In session. Mr. Blaine said he desired to remain abroad two years but feare<d he would not be able to do so. I would not be sur? prised to hear ho was coming home next month, or that he would stay away urtfil next year. No time has, as yet, been Axed for his return. There ls no denying the fact that ever since the declination there has been a growing sentiment among Kepubllcans that Mr. Blaine should accent the leadership of the party. In the next -*reat battle. This movement has great strength and will bo a powerful, If not tho most pow? erful, clement In the next Convention. I do not think that lt is the Intention of Mr. Blaine to come out squarely for any candidate or to plumply ask his friends to support John Smith or John Jones, ne ls only human and may, of course, say, ' So-and-so ls my friend and I would like to see him nominated,' and such an expression would havo great weight." '? Do you think lt Is Mr. Blaine's Intention to mako a political will and leave hts political estate en bloc so lt will not bo frittered away by division 1" ,; I do not know. I havo never heard of such a thing." "ls there among the men prominently named any one whoso political friend-hip with Blilne ls strong enough to warrant a belief that Mr. Blaine will trans? fer h's stretipth to him I" ? I do not know of such a man. Socially he has known them all Intimately, but politically he can l.ar.liy be expected to be wai miy for John Sherman, for Instance, or for Allison, or evon for Harrison. His friendship for Chauncey M. Depew U a strong one, and I do not know how far lt extends. So far as I am concerned as chairman of the National Committee, I want lo seo the Convention handled fairly and freely and hope lt will select a strong leader upon whom all can agree. I have ad? vised more or less that State dele-tat tons bo not in? structed In order that tlie Convention may be a delib? erative boiy and wisely proceed to a eholee. There are great principles at stake which must be consid? ered." " Do you think lt would be as easy for Mr. Blaine to rontlnuo to decline to be a candidate If ho were In this country?" "People can often write things they would, per? haps, not utter on the sp t. I cannot, of course, guess what tho Iiepubllrans may unite upon and what they may Insist upon carrying out." Emmons Blaine wa? In Pittsburg to-day looking after tho Interest of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo Railroad, of which ho ls general freight agent. When asked If he had read of his father " being In the hands of l.li friends" for the Presidential candlcacy he re? plied : " Yes I read what was In the newspapers this morn? ing. It was news to me. I really know nothing about the matter." u Do you regard th" story as plausible. Mr. Blaine ?" He smiled significantly bul replied: "I really know nothing moro about the matter than any ono else.
