The Cloud in the East.
By C. W. S.
THE London Times says that Russia and England seem incapable of arriving at any agreement, and that they have no view in common. Ministers and ambassadors are at the end of their suggestions. “If there is war, there must be great war, and any power that interferes must be prepared to wage great war alone.”
The press generally is of the opinion that war is imminent; and they look for a great war. The Evening News has the following:—
LONDON, April 9.—A dispatch from Constantinople this morning says the porte rejects the principal clauses in the protocol, and refuses to admit the Russian declaration of disarmament. It also declines to send an envoy to St. Petersburg, and finally insists upon being left alone in dealing with Montenegro. War is now considered as inevitable and imminent.
LONDON, April 13.—The latest eastern advices received to-day are disquieting, and the attitude assumed by the Russian and Turkish forces strengthens the conviction that war cannot be avoided. The Russian embassy is preparing to leave Constantinople. Turkey refuses to prolong the Montenegrin armistice. The whole army of the Pruth is advancing.
The forward movement of the Russians from Kischeneff continues. C. W. S.
Hotel Horror.
The “Southern Hotel,” the largest, most costly, and most luxurious hotel of St. Louis, was burned at about 2 A. M., April 11. The details of the particulars are heart-rending. Probably from fifty to seventy-five persons lost their lives. The building was six stories high. Several jumped from the upper stories, escaping the flames to meet death by their fall. One man in an upper story tied together some of the bed clothes and let himself out of the window. His object might be to get into a lower window, but the cord not letting him down so far as he had hoped, he tried to ascend. This he was unable to do. He threw back his head, revealing a ghastly face—the people veiled their faces, and the man soon fell to the ground. He lived about twenty minutes after the fall.
The flames had made such progress when warning was given, and the stairways so quickly filled with smoke that escape was rendered impossible. A very singular coincidence is the fact that Kate Claxton, the actress that made such a remarkable escape from the burning theatre of Brooklyn last December, was in the hotel, and made another similar escape.
The loss of property is estimated at over a million dollars.
Svensk Advent Herald Mailed to Sweden
By G. W. A.
THE SVENSK ADVENT HERALD is just mailed—a good number, those say who understand the Scandinavian vernacular. By reference to the lists, it is found that some over 200 copies are sent out this month to old Sweden. And so the work is steadily progressing, and moving with accelerated step, both in America and other parts of the earth. G. W. A.
Our European Press.
By R. F. Cottrell
With much interest have I watched the slowly-increasing list of hundred-dollar subscribers, for a press in Europe, anxious to see it filled, though it is not in my power to take a share. Now I see that fifteen more will fill the call; and I hope there will be a desire on the part of many to take up this stock, before the books are closed. Come, brethren, press in. It is a real privilege to have a share in the good work; but should you be too late for a share in this ten thousand dollars for the press, yet there will be room for your donations in the European Mission. God bless (and he will and does bless) his servants that have left home and friends to labor for the salvation of foreigners, and strangers. Let us sympathize with them in their self-denial and sacrifice; and let us give to our sympathy a tangible form. Who that believes present truth will not make a strong and persistent effort to spread it to the earth’s remotest bounds? But our opportunities are swiftly passing; soon it will be too late. May God help us to feel the importance of this hour, and give us an individual part in his work. R. F. Cottrell.
