ACTIVITY ON THE DANUBE.
Bdohabest, June 7.—Extensive prep
arations are being made at Oalatz. A
large quantity of ohain oables have accu
mulated at this depot. Plaoes on the
Danube, whither this material will be
moved, is not known. Bands of Russian
soldiers frequently cross the river at
Oalatz and make their way as far as the
hills opposite the oity. The objeot of
reoonnoisances is not so muoh to ascer
tain the position of the Turkish troops,
which is already well known, as to watch
the progress of the water on the flats.
Increased aotivity on both sides of the
Danube is reported. Spies report that
the Turks intend to attempt some offen
sive movement. Weather has greatly
improved in both Asiatio and European
seats of war.

SAFETY OF THE OZAB—BOUMANIA DECLINES
EXTREME BUSSIAN DEMANDS—BUCHA
REST IN A STATE OF BEIOE.
London, Jan 7.— The PeBth dis-
pTtch to the Daily News has the follow
ing : A telegram reoeived here annonn-
oes that the commandant at Agram haa
published an order forbidding any mem
ber of the reserve to leave his plaoe of
residenoe. Several speoiala confirm the
report that Bucharest is about to be plaoed
in a state of aeige.
The Russian polioe,' owing to the repn-
tation of Ronmania as a gathering place
*or Poles and other turbulent oharaoters
deemed it neoessary to take even more
than nsnally severe precautions for the
safety of the Ozar as well as sending a
host of seorot polioo. They demanded
unlimited right of arresting suspicions
individuals.
The Roumanian Government refusedtb
grant this because it was in direot viola
tion both of the Rnsso-Ronmanian con
vention and the Oonstitution of the conn
try. The Grand Duke Nicholas mani
fested hiB displeasure at the refusal by
taking no notice of prims Minister Brati-
ano and M. Oagalniceano, foreign Minis
ter, when they went to meet him on the
occasion of his last visit to Bdchsrest.
The Roumanian Government, though it
haa yet made no sign .of yielding, will
probably compromise by consenting to
proclaim a state of siege, which wonld
permit the exceptional meisurea desired
by the Russians.
In other respects matters do not appear
to be going quite smoothly. The fins-
aiana are complaining of ill will and dila
toriness of the Roumanian authorities,
and the latter of offensive and almost
brutal behavior of Russian offioers.
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAILED.
Buohabest, Jane 7.—It is reported here
peaoe negotiations have entirely failed.

sixteen battalions, was at Guardje aud
®aggagze and about six hours’ maroh

signs four batteries of artillery to them,
forty-five battalions, whioh seems inored-
able, though it has been repeatedly stated
from various sonroes that the Turks in
Asia Minor were almost destitute of artil
lery.
This report plaeee the main body of
Russia's right wing at Olti, with an ad-
vanoed guard at Nariman, and the Russian

The presidents of tbe tbreo sections of
the Left held an important meeting to
day. Tbe decisions arrived at show re
markable moderation. It was dooided
that M. Gambetta, at the re-opening of
tbe Chambers, should move an interpol
lation on the part of the Left, bat that
oontrary to tbe opinion of M. Gaipbetta,
himself and M. Thiers should refrain
from arraigning tbb aotion of President
MacMahon, whose irresponsibility should
be fully admitted. It was also decided
that tbe address in reply to MaoMabon'a
message should be moderate in form
though deoided in substance, and that
if overtures were made to the majority
with a view to ministerial changes, they
should not be rejeoted without consider
ation, although it would be necessary to
insist upon the retirement of M. Four-
ton.
It was finally decided that the question
of sanctioning the budget should be left to
tbe Budget Committee.
A majority of the meeting appeared to
be of tbe opinion that nothing should be
done to render the dissolution inmita-
ble.
It was admitted that M. Fourton’s cit-
onlar relative to hawking lioonses, render
ed many oiroumspact Republican news
papers more lukewarm in their utter
ances, and that to give Republican can
vassers significant hostility to MscMahon,
would Iobo a camber of votes more.

TBE ARLINGTON ESTATE.
THE SUIT. TO OUST EHE GOVERNMENT—HIS
TORY OF ABLINOTON — THE LAW OF THE
CASE.
It has already been annonaoed that
Gen. G. W. O. Lee, eldest bod of the late
Gen. R. E. Lee, has brought suit for
ejeotiog the government from the posses
sion of the Arlington estate. The suit is
expeoted to be tried at the present term of
the oonrt in Alexandria oonDty, Va. The
notice was served abont a month ago upon
Lieut. R. P. Strong, commanding Fort
Whipple, Frederiok Kauffman, Snpefin-
tendent of the National Cemetery, and
162 oolored persons who are living on the
estate.
General George Washington, by his
will, bequeathed Arlington to George
Washington Parke Guslis and his heirs
forever. OnatiB was the adopted son of
General Washington. He died in 1855,
and by his will left the property to his
daughter and only ohild, Mary Randolph
Lee, who beoame tbe wife of Robert E.
Lee, and in addition, tbe nse and benefit
of the Arlington house and estate, con
taining about eleven hundred sores; his
horses and carriages, furniture, pictures
and plate, daring the term of their natu
ral life. After her death ho provided that
all tbe property should go to her eldest
son, George Washington Gustls Lee, and
to his heirs forever. He further enjoined
that the Baid eldest grandson should take
his name and arms. Mrs. Lao, his daugh
ter, was allowed the privilege of divid
ing her father’s plate among her
other ohildren ; but Custis directed that
the Mount Vernon plaoe and every arti
cle he possessed which formerly belonged
to General Washington and all that came-
from Mount Vernon should go to George
Washington Cnstis Lee aud descend
from him entire to hiR latest posterity.
In his will he also dirooted the emancipa
tion of all his slaves at the end of tbe
five years from his death whioh took
plaoe in October in 1857. When Robt. E.
Lee joined tho South bo took these slaves
with him, but, at tbe timo speoifiod, be
manumitted every one of them aud sent
them beyond the Confederate lines North.
Shortly before her death Mrs. Lee and
her son endeavored to make a compro
mise with the government, and offered to
surrender her title and that of her heirs
for the snm of $30,000. Her petition
gave rise to an angry debate in the Senate,
in whioh the old bitterness of the late
confliot was revived. Tho Republican
leaders turned the whole matter to
party account, aud of course nothing
was done. Mrs. Leo died in 1873, and
her sou, who brings tbe present suit of
ejootment, again offered to compromise.
He presented a memorial to Congress,
whioh sets forth the prinoipal law points
in tbe oase. After presenting a copy of
the will of Parke Custis the petition sets
forth, “Upon tbe oonstruotion of tbe said
will yoar petitioner is advised that he
took Bn estate in remainder ,nfter the life
estate of his mother. Whether it was
teobnioaUy a vested or a contingent re
mainder upon the tine construction of
tho will may be a question of doubt. If
the remainder be oontingent, your peti -
tioner bad no ostate in the property until
the death of the life tenant. If it was c
vested remainder, be had no ostate in
possession until that event.” The me
morial thou states how the United
States obtained possession of the prop
erty. In September, 1863, tbreo tax
commissioners for the insurrectionary
district of Virginia fixed tho snm of nine
ty-two dollars and seven oents as the
amount of tax doe and payable to the Uni
ted States upon tho Arlington estate,
whioh was valued on the land books of
VirgiDia for the year I860 at $34,100.
For tbe non-payment of the tax the es
tate beoame forfeited to the United States
and tbo commissioners advertised it for
sale. Tbe sale took plaoe on tbo 11th of
January, 1874, when, no person bidding
an amount equal to the taxes then ao-
orued, and the estate having been select
ed, under the direction of the Govern
ment and in pursuance of President Lin
coln's proclamation of January 6, 1864,
for Government use, for war, military,
charitable And educational purposes, the
commissioners bid it in for the snm of
$26,800.
The petitioner next reoites (and this
will undoubtedly be tbe line of argument
of tho plaintiff for tbe recovery) that be
is advised tbat all tbe objections whioh
an original owner oan urge against tbe
title of any purchaser at a tax sale apply
with increased foroo against the United
States as a purchaser at a sale for taxes,
made under its own anthority and by its
own pommissioners. The lawn of August
6, 1801, and June 7, 1862, are referred to,
and it is urgod that neither oan affect the
question. The sesessment was made
against the property of a married woman,
and the reasons on whioh the jnstifloation
of tbe law of 1862 is baaed (tbe relation
of the State of Virginia to tho general
government cannot, it is held, apply to a
law for the aolleotion of taxes. The pe
titioner maintains that if the sale was
not in every respeot constitutionally and
legally made he has been deprived of bis
property without due prooess of law,
whioh is a violation of the oonstitution.
Another sspeot of the esse is givou as
follows: “The land was assessed, taxed
and sold as the property of the life ten
ant. Your petitioner’s title in remainder
was not notioed. Tbe sale conld by the
terms of the law only be prevented by the
owner's paying the tax. Tbe tax sale
certificate reoites tho property as owned
by Mrs. A. fi. Lee. If yonr petitioner's
title in remainder was contingent it was
no estate in tbe land and be was in no
sense an owner. If it was vested it was
an estate not in possession, but in expec
tancy, and tbo land was taxed as tbat of
the life tenant. If offered for sale, he
was not an owner ; therefore, within the
moaning of the taw ho could not tender
the tax. His right not being taxed, oould
not be forfeited for its non-payment.
Tbe salo oould not pass, at tbe utmost,
the title of tbe life tenant, and not the
remainder. Tbe title passed by tbe sale
has expired, and yonr peiitioner's re
mainder now vests in possession, as in
title. This view is the more patent as no
assessment was ever made against your
petitioner ; no tax was imposed on or de
manded of him, and no property or estate
of his was ever advertised for sale or sold
to tbe government."
