Tlie Strained Relations Retrfeen Russia and England Relaxed Peace Negotiations Look llrigMer. Russia DIeposed to Accept Eng. land's Propositions A. Maesonger to Bring tho Reply. TUE WAR PR0I5LEM, It Looks More Pacific Than for Some Time Peace or War Will Soon Be Decided. Losdsn, May 1. The situation may perbapi best be summed th'a mornlu? by quotits the usual Berlin correspondent of the Daily Tdegraph: "I gave you yesterday to und era land," he says, ' that the question of peace cr war would be decided within a week. I cannon add that definite information cn this all important point will be forth coming cn Monday or Tuesday next at the latest. It is indeed possible that all ihe suspense will be at an end thii week. Everything depends on the answer nosy awaited from Russia to the firm demands recently put forward by our Government. I can not with the data at my disposal hold out much hope that Russia's reply will b of a satisfactory character. T go further, the account iust published by the Russian Official Gazette shows that the Liar's Government maintains Its ground with regard to KomarotT's couduct. The Moscow Gazette actually has thj faca to accuse the British officers attached to the Frontier Commission of untruthfully f?s. Then the intelligence of the renewed advance of the Russian troops tends to confirm the impreEsion that tue affair has now paesed the bounds of diplomatic action, and I as devf loped into a purely military inestiou. This recalls the famous saying of Bismarck: 'War ia not likely to breakout until both the disputing parties begin u if sue documents.' " Fropectsoff Peace Hrlghter Than at Any . Time Since Negotiations lSegao Londox, May 2. The Daily News this morning gays: "A special messenger has left St. Petersbnrs and will arrive in London Monday or Tuesday bringing Russia's answer, which will prcL&Dly be a formal acceptacce of the EDglith proposal. The Czar has intimated to England through Baron DeStaal that be earnestly desired peace. If the proposal to arbitrate the question of a disregard cn the part of Russia to the convention of March 17 is acceptsd the joint comraiesion will proceed to delimit the frontier of Afghanistan without waiting for the decision of the arbitrator as a satisfactory basi fox the delimitation having been agreed upon before the Penjdeh aüdir. While the commission is at work the dis puted territory will be considered neutral, and will not be occupied by either Russians or Afghans." The News in an editorial says it regard that the prospects of peace betwsen England and Russia are brighter than at any time during the negotiations. Knsela Disposed to Kntertaln the English Proposals. Lcnpcx, May 1. There is a slight relaxation in the tension of the relations of Russia and England. Russia appears to ba disposed to entertain England's latest proposals to submit to the arbitration of one of the crowned heads of Europe the question whether the convention of March 17 was broken by Russia. It Is believed that the King of Denmark will be selected as arbitrator in the event of mediation being accepted. Afghan Enraged. London, May 1. A dispatch from Tirpul, dated April 23, says that the Afghans are enraged against the British and accuse Sir Peter Lumden of deserting tnsm, as the Russians did in 1S"S. The Afghan member of the Frontier Commission has made a protpst. in which he says it was shameful for the Britih to encourage the Afghans to resist the Russians at PeDjdeh and afterward abstain from rendering any assistanca. Forbidden to Enter the fort of Cronatndt. London, May 1. A Lloyd's telegram from t. Petersburg to-day states that the Russian Goyernment h&3 forbidden the entry of ships into the port cf Cionstadt.

ANOTHER TRUNK MYSTERY. The Uody oT a Dead Man Found I'arHe l ia aTi ntk at Pittburg It Wa- Checked. From Chicago. Pittsfup.c, May 1. This evening about G o'clock Bagsagemaster Jenkins, at the Unicn depot, upon bursting open a trunk which gave out a auspicious oicr, was horrif.ed to find therein the body of a man securely bound and in an advanced stage of decomposition. The face was badly discolored aud bloated, and the stench was so great that it kept at a safe distance the large crowd which quickly gathered. The trunk was a common wooden one, and evidently had not been used before. Ii arrived here from Chicago, on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railway, at 0:2 a. m. on the morning express, and was checked 4,171, but no person called to claim it. The baggagsmaster noticed a peculiar smell when it was unloaded frora tho train this morning, but no attention was paid toil until thteev8ning, when the stench became unbearable. After a consultation the railroad officials decided to open it, and the result was the ghastly discovery. Tha body, in order to get it into the trunk, had been bsnt almost double: around the neck, arms and legs, was a hmp cord about one e'g'ith of an inch in tliicknefs, which bad been drawn so tight that it had cut dfep into the flesh. There was no mark of violence, and bo far as could be ascertained from an outward examination, the stomach was in a normal condition. The body was that of a laboring man, probably thirty years old, of short, heavy build, with a smooth face. He was dressed in a pair of checked woolen pants, a blue checked ehirt, and had on his feet a pair of new congress gaiters. There was nothing on his person that would famish any clu9 to his identity, except, an international money order in favor of Fillippo Csruse tor S2-5.01. The order was drawn at Chicago cn February 21, 1 Immediately after the finding of the remains, Coroner Dressier WA9 summoned, and the body was placed in his charge. A tflegrarn was sent to the bazgapie asent at Chicago, but he replied he had no means of finding out who had checked the trunk. The Coroner is now holding an inquest. He is of the opinion that the remains were in the trunk at least thirty-six houre. At the Coroner's inquest Dr. Hamilton and Shav, who male a post mortem examination, testified that there were extern:i marks of violence on deceased. All his organs were healthy, except tha Jung, which were badly congested. This could result from sutl'ocation or strangulation. Ia accordance with this testimony a verdict w3 rendered that deceased came to his death from etr?.rjgu!atIon at the hands oT p?rson3 to the jury unknown. There appears no doubt nut that he waa an Italian. No Development Concerning the Trank, Chicago, May 1. Diligent inquiry here has failed to develop any facts concerning the eupposed shipment from Chicago of a trunk, opened this evening at Pittsburg, and found to contain a corpse. Tne baggagemen at Fort Wayne, however, believe from the description of the baggage and the number of the check that it was left ihere yesterday morning by three Italians, who brought it to the depot in au expre.s wagon. No record of the baggice U keyt whereby this belief can be substantiated at present. OBITUARY. Commodoie Garrison Dies Very Suddenly of Paralysis of the Heart. New York, May 1. Commodore Cornelius K.
