A Poreiffn War may yet be Averted.
London, April 23. A Vienna corres
pondent of the Times says the world will
have to resign itself to remain for a short
time longer in its present state of uncer
tainty as the Russian manifesto is not
likely to be issaed before the Czar's return
From Kischenefi for which April 29th is
named as the probable date.
The same correspondent repeats the
report that Russia's circular note has been
dispatched by special couriers. He adds,
however, this may be. The note has not
been received here nor has any intention
been given that it is rn its way.
The conclusion can safely be drawn from
all this that there is to be a ' respite of
about a week. Russia's reasons for this
delay seem rather complex, the chief rea
son, apparently, is that her preparations
are not quite complete.
T m 1 mi m. ' )
iiujtuoN, Apru -a. i ne Times corres
pondent with the Turkish army states that
10.000 men from Widdin have gone to the
seat ot war.
Despite the assertion of the Russian
telegraphic agency that a perfect under
standing has been arrived at between
Russia and Austria in relation to eastern
affairs there can be no manner of doubt
Austria reserves to itself absolute liberty
of action.
The Russian telegraphic agency's tele
gram, dated i?unday evening, says the
orte calls on Servia for leave to occupy
its frontiers at Gladora to permit the pas
sage ot liuseians.
London, April 23. In the house of
commons this morning it was announced
that a telegram from Layord had jest been
received stating that the Russian charge

relations with Turkey,also a telegram from

SB. SCHENCK'S STANDARD
REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the

See Weed Tonic, and Schknck s Mandrake Pill,s
and if taken before the lungs are destroyed
speedy cure Is effcted.
To these three medicines Br. J. H. Schenk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled sncess in the
treatment of pulmonary disease.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matters
In the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expect
oration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it t.ff, the patient has nst
nd the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic fyrup to do this
Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Man
drake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstruc
tions, relax the ga' i bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon recieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimnlant
and alterative: the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevenw souring. It as
sists the digestion bv toning up the stomach to
healthv condition, so that the food and the Pul
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the Inn

taken to prevent, fresli cold.

The Commission Leaves for the North..
New Orleans, April 21. The com
mission closed their labors to-day and left
for Washington via Mobile. The results
achieved by them are more complete than
could have been anticipated The general
feeling, even among intelligent Republi
cans, is that these results will be of im
mense advantage to the state. The com-
mission haye been more than ordinarily
circumspect and have devoted themselves
in a most laborious manner to their work.
In the innumerable interviews with dele
gations and committees and individuals of
both parties, they have been courteous
and patient. It is understood that an
ovation was tendered them by the people
or this city, but this was declined with
thanks.
A committee from the Packard legis
lature waited upon the commission to-day
and requested their friendly offices in se
curing from the Nicholls government some
compensation tor the policemen and em
ployes who have remained faithful to
Packard. The commission assured them
that they would endeavor to meet their
wishes and immediately requested an in
