LONDON, May 27th. A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that it bas leaked out tha the War Minister refused the army students permission to leave St. Peters- burg until after to-day's ceremony at Moscow in connection with the anniversary of the Czar's coronation. He even forbade the departure of the students about to proceed to the 1sterior to combat cholers. This measure is suspected to be due to the discovery of a conspiracy among the St. Petersburg students, and the fear that an attempt on the Caar had been planned.

A large number of St. Petersburg students, It is knows, bave been arrested, and persistent rumours are also current that the Caar will make startling and di-quieting declaration on the Bulgarian question before he leaves Moscow.

Solemn denials are not needed to show the absurdity of this tale, but that something untoward has happened it is becoming impossible to doubt. When the reassembling of Parliament on Monday brings the politicians back from the holidays, it will b: easier to get at the truth of the matter. The bitterness with which the Queen has espoused the nitra-Orange view of home rule has long been understood, but so long as it was nothing more than a plous personal feeling nobody cared a button. The suggestion now that she has even been taking sides in overt action would not, in itself, came soy great surprise or resentment.

Another political factor is the ever-increasing friction between France and England. Every question between the two countries takes on a especially in the colonial affaims of bitter aspect, Madagascar and Slam, where France has a great deal to bother her Just now. Since it has been proved that the saves received ammual top and arms through the intermediary of England, it will readily be understood that the French Government is not very well satisfied with such proceedings, which are babitual in

British politics.

As to internal affairs, France is making ready for the elections. All reports coming from the provinces show that the Panama scandals have produced no effect upon the public mind. The elections will go Republican and the composition of the next Chamber of Deputies will be very much like the present one. Perhaps the Con- servativo party will lose fifty seats to the "Remained, as they are called, that is, the Monarchists who have become Republicans There is reason to believe that the Socialist party will gain about twenty seats, especially in ike south.

After the elections it is probable that President Carnet will call on Monstans to form Ministry, which may have a chance of lasting two years and may give to France the much- needed stability of government.
