QUEER DISARMAMENT. St. Prtersuurg, Jan. 18. The estimates of the Russian War Department show an increase of thirty-five million roubles for the year. London, Jan. 18. M. Gambon, French Ambassador to England, delivered a pacific speech in receiving a deputation from the Arbitration and Peace Association.
