LoxDox, Jan. 6.—The Pera correspondent of the Times writes, under date of Jan. 1: “Iam still of the opinion that the Turks will nitimate- Iy give in, but there is no doubt that the great trump card, intended to be played as a Jast re- source,~—that of a declaration of war by Russia, —has suddenly turned out to be no trumpat all, for everything in the attitude of the St. Petersburg Cabloet and the conduct of Gen. Ighnticff, the Russian Plenipotentiary here, con- tributes to confirm the belief that Russia is afraid to go to war:- The Russian Ambassador, in fact, throws out cleor bints thet the affair could only be settled by joint Eurovean evecu- tion, thus reverting to the proposals made by the Czar Lo months ago. * The Turks have not failed to perceive an ad- vantage sccruing to their cause from their~ resolution of Russia and Europe, and are not unlikely to continue uumsnagcable and stub~ born as long asthey can flatter themselves that the Conference will break up without any other nisult than leaving them masters of the situa- tion.

UNCERTAINTY AND IRRESOLUTION. Loxpoy, Jan. 6.—The Pall Afall Gazette says; It seems doubtful whether at any time more uncertainty or confusion has prevailed than at the present moment. - It is clear that the Com- mittee of foreign statesmen assembled in Con- stantinople has itsclf fallen into much disorder, and that if the Turks are only resolute enough at this hour, and are thereafter truly solicitous and speedy in establishing the reforms of their 0Wn new constitution, they may boast of having defeated and silenced all Europe.” ERTY'P GONS. Russfa has ordered fourteen Krupp eleven- inch guns for Cronstadt. EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. SeMLIN, Jan. 6.—It is cxpected an exchange of prisoners between Servia and Turkey will take place shortly. A considerable force of Circassians and Bashi- Bazouks advanced against Negotin on the 24 of January, and were repulsed by the garrison and some Cossacks from Kladowa. According to information received at the Servian headguar- ters, thirty-five Cossacks aud 111 Turks were killed. AS a fresh attack is apprebended, Kla- dowa is being fortified. RUSSIA SOBERING DOWN—APPEARANCES OF WEAKNESS. Dispatch to_London Times. CONSTAXTINOPLE, Dee. 21.—On a late ocea- sion, the Czar, in a conversation with one of the Ambassabors, remarked that Russia was ready o renounce’ the occupation of the Turkish provinces, provided other guarantees can be found. This remark has been oflicially com- municated to the diffecent Courts, and has like- wise been officially circulated from St. Feters- burg, which would seem to indicate a wish on the part of the Russian Government that the rewmark of the Czar should be widely known. By such an announcement from high quarters, Russia evidently means to reserve to herself the Jiberty of accepting eventually any other pro- posal which she may consider suflicient. The announcement receives additivnal importance by the accounts from Russia, which all concur i representing the azitation and warlike spirit as decidedly decreastng; aud this has, no doubt, greatly contributed to shape the policy of the Russiin Government now, as it had contributid 2 short time ago to impel it in the opposite’ di- rection. Pl The great difficulty of the present phase of the Eastern question arises mainly froin th crcumstance that it has ceased to be a purel political and_diplowmatic question, and that, at apy rate in the countries most nearly conterned, popular fecling has become mixed up with it. Sympathies and antipathies, religious and na- tional, bave been roused on_both sides,which must be taken into consideration by ‘eyery Government, however absolute its power ‘1ny be. Nauy, the more unlimited the power of the Governinent, the greater seems the dunger of its being under the influence of such popular feel- ings: for, in the absence of any legitimate or- fan, such as a popalar assembly; to express fhese feclings, it canuol gange their real strenmth, and, with the uneasiness which an ab- soluté Government always feels even at the most harmless manifestution of popular fecl- ing, it is more likely to overrate the fmportance of ihem. Possibly; had Russia been a-country with representative institutions, she might— and this is t:e opinion of many well-informed people—have found that the agitation and Hatlike spirit were not so decply rooted, and that the bulle of the higher and com ereial Clasees, a5 well as the mass of people, thoush, 1o doubt, sympathizing with their co-religionists in Turkey, bad but little inclination 10 go to war for them. But, even if the warlike enthu- Siasm was as strong 3s the Russian Government seews to bave supposed, the more conciliatory attitude nssumcg by Russis of late way be taken as 2 tolerably sure sign that tbe Gov- ermment itself has come to the conviction that it is no Jonger quite so strong as it has been. The chiel cause in bringing about this result was, no doubt, the fact that even in this carly staze of preparation people began to realize in Some measure the sacrifices likely tobe entatled by the over a considerable portion, and "'"fi the most important, uf European l{ussf:n Al conditions b[z‘gf lm;g tbel:;muut, nd that just W :z‘;:xl::l‘;f:nduring 1.J)m season for the expori- trade.” And the disturbance is not merely mo- mentars, for, in_the dun‘cemmta‘: :sf :‘J#fi‘fii‘.’i{ e, expori Bappeny e e e arraugments for next pation to make arTIugl t spring.

Bulgaria by force, and the little enconragement Which such a desizn finds anywhere, have contributed to persuade Russia that there might be some other sort of guarautee besides an vecupation. SHARP ITALIAN STRICTURES ON THE ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND. Dispatch to’London Times. Roxe, Dec. 15.—At the commencement of the debate this afternoon upon the estimates for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Depu-~ ties Micelli, Petruccelli, and Marcora put. inter- rogations to the Government as 10 the policy followed with reference to the Eastern difii- calty. ‘Signor’ Micelli applauded Russia in the highest terms for the policy she had initfated, ane deplored the attitude of Englana, which he described as a veritable_anachronism, twenty-two years out of date. Heargued that Italy should frankly assume the part of medi ator, but at the same time support the Russian programme. He hoped the coming strugele would result, mot only in the autonomy of the insurgent ovinces, but of all- peoples under toman rule. e wished to know -if the Italan Gov- ernment_intended to follow strictly a neutral course, inttead of the decided policy to be de- sired.’ He concludéd by demanding if ltaly was to exhaust all her efforts at_the Conference to 10 other purpose beyond satisfying the preten- sions of England. Signor Petruceelli wished to know why the Government favored English ideas, why Ttaly insisted on the Treaty of Puris being respected, and why she bad rejected certain propositions made vy Russia. . n the absence of the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, seriously indisposed, Signor Depretis re- plied, to the effect that the discussion of the guestion at the present moment was altogether inopportune, inasmuch as a Conference was_sit- ting 10 give the requisite explanations. - Until that Conterence had concluded its deliberations, the Government had no intention of unnecessa- rily withboldinig ducuments demanded by Signor Petruccelli, only it must be the sole judge of the upportune moment for making them pub- lie. " Now, while the Conference was open, their publication would be not only inopportune, but inadiissitle. The conduct of 1taly was suili- ciently oxplained by the English ana Russion documents, which threw a full light on all im- portant points of the question. Traly was em- ployinr her legitiwate influence on the side - of - conciliation. In the meantime the Clamber might feel assured that the Govern- ment would 1oilow that course which would in- sure Italy making her way through the compli- cations with .a strengthened positiou and iu- ereased consideration. TERKISH PREPARATIONS TO RESIST RUSSIA. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 20.—The warlike at- titude of the Russian press is reciprocated by the - Turkish papers. The Constantinople journal Jdtihad, vegarded as Midhat Pasha’s organ, {s prepared to sce Turkey wage war aminst Russia without European support. All it demands is, that Europe should insure Rou- manian neutrality by authorizing Austria to oe- cupy the Wallacliian Principalitics. Meanwhile, the Turks prepare to occupy Kalafat and so other points on the left bauk of the Danube, di- rectly the Russians cross the Prath. . The Turks wust cither feel already strong enough to resist eventually a first onsct of the Russiuns on the Danube, or else they must have Teason to suppose that, iu the event” of u rup- ture with Russiy, the theatre of war fu Armenia is destined to play a very important part; for, according to the last dispositions of the Turk- Ish Minister of War, only the smaller portion of the forces withdrawn from Servia Lkas been ‘sent ‘up to Bulgaria, while the larger portion, some thirty battalions, has been brought up to Constautinople, whence the battulions, after having had their effective brought up to the war strength, and even more than that, ore to be sent off to Erzeroum and Batoum, as the most expdted points, Measures have, indeed, been taken to collect there like- wise all the Asiatics which can be collected ; but, most of the troops belonging to the active army and to th firsl-(:r:ss of the reserves having been gradually withdrawn to strengthen the army in the field aeainst Servia and Montenegro, most of the troops remaining in Armenia Were new formations. = The sending therea portion of the seasoned troops from Servia was_evidently with the view of forming cventually the nucleus of the operating army there. In face of the declorations of Russia, and, far more, from a sort of confidence In the opposition of the Pow- ers, there does not seem any great apprehension in Constantinople that thie Russians, even if they should succeed in occupying Bulza- rie, would ultimately be allowed to remain thére permancntly. There is not_the saine con- Russian army of the Caticasus might” occupy in Armeniz, or on the shores of the Bluck Seu, the plateaut of Erzeroum, and, above all, Batoum. The first, as a good fronticr-line, the second, as the only real port on the southeasterly shores of the Black Sea, would form a_very valuable acquisition to Russfa. Hence the precautions which are being taken to resist any attack on the Asiatic side. 2 OBITUARY. WINTHER, THE DANISH POET.

Rain began to fall short)y before the commencement of the carni- val, and continued throughout the afternoon and evening, freezing as it fell, making pedes- trianism’ ditlicult and dangerous. 1t is stated, upon what appears good author- ity, that the President has designated Com- niissioners of the Metropolitan Police for the District of Columbia, to succeed fourof the five members of the Board recently requested to vesiwn, aud that their names will be seut to the Senate Monday for contirmation. They are ex- Mavor Matthew G. Emery, John T, Mitchell, a weil known merchant, John C. Harkness, o rominent architect, and Frederick W. Douglas.

Mr. Douglas, Chairman of the Freedmaun's Bank Committee, reported a bill authorizing the Bank Commissioners, in property sold under foreelosure, to sccure the debts of the bank, and to sell the same at public or Frlmc sale, when it is for the interest of the bank to do so, and also modifying -their former action. He explained thut the Com- missioners, in winding up the aflairs of the bank, inselling property conveyed to the Dbank to secure debts, had been compelled, in order to prevent a sacrifice of property, ta bid in a large proportion of it, and afterwards to resell it. The lemulity of this course had been questioned, and this bill was reported in order fo remove any doubts in the matter, and to prevent expensive litization. The bill was assed. - %o Senate bill allowing Ephraim E. Abbott to purchase at $2.50 an gere the tract of land along the river range in Wayne County, Mic., was passed. ) ._ Mr. Goodin, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill suthorizing the McGregor Western Railroad, in Towa, to futersect the road from Sioux City'to the Minuesota State line outside and west of O'Brien County, with a proviso that the grant of land shall not be fn- creased or changed, and that homestead and pre-emption rights shal! not be affected, was assed.

Subsidiary to That Admirable Institute, ‘The Rershey School of Musical Art ”~The " Advantages Which Its Students Will Enjoy. The time has come when Chicago, great in population and material resonrces, should seck steady progress in the ficld of esthetic culture. Whatever tends intelligentiy and systematically in that direction is worthy of all encourage- ment, and it is with pleasure thai Tne TRiBUNE chronicles the enterprise of ‘ THE HERSHEY SCHOOL OF MUSICAL ART,” which has becn established here some time, and has taken steps not only to extend its field of uscfulness In the immediate worle of educating pupils, but also to give to music in this city a local habitation, a recog- nized centre. For the encouragement of fits pupils and the accommodation of its patrons, a music Lall has been quietly built, and is now, almost complete, furnishing Jjust such o place as has long been wanted for chamber concerts, ecientific lectures, ete. It is sitnated on the old Dearborn School lot, in the rear of Nos. 83, §5, and 87 Madison street (Crystal Block, opposite McVicker's: Theatre), the Madison street entrance, when completed; to be distinguished with a handsome portico. ‘The ball is on the second floor, and is_reached by a single fiight of stairs. For additional safety there is an exit to the wide court in the rear by a commodious stairway. The stage oc- cupes the west end of the hall, and is 85 feet wide and 18 feet deep. ~In the ceatre of it s to stacd a fine three-manual concert-organ, buiit by Johnson & Son, of West- field, Mass. This is exTect«:d to arrive about Jan. 10, and then we shall speak of it more fully. The hall is ceated with cane-seat chairs. In the east end is the gallery, holding about 200. Under the gallery arc'a part of the teaching- rooms of the Hershey School of Musieal Art, for whose use this convenient and well-appoint- ed hall bus been built. On the stage stands one of Steinway’s Centennial grand pianos, a most magniticent jostrument. The Schioul also pos- sesses another grand and three cabinet grands (largest size uprights), also of the same make, 15 well as other pianos for practice. THE VENTILATION OP THE HALL, and heating are believed to excel anything of the kind heretofore attempted in Chicsgo.” By means of the Ruttan system, provision is made for the introduction of over 4,000 cubic feet of vroperly-heated air per minute, ana the with- drawal of .an equal amount of the sir already vitiated by use.” Such a hall, small, cosy, cen- trally located (exactly in the focus of all the horse-car fines), Is in évery way a more desirable place’ for _concerts and fine léctures than large rooms holding so many people as to be danger- ous in case of a panic, and in consequence of their size too large for single voices or solo instruments to fill. The Her- shey Hall is seated for 800 ‘This admirable concert-room has been erected expressly for the use of the Ilershey School of Musical Art, which, although only one year old, has aircady attained high reputation and a com- mauding position. The FACULTY OF THIS SCHOOL is unusually strong, and will compare favorably with that ol any music scnool in this country, or indeed in the world. At the head stands as General Director the name of Mr. H. Clarence £ddy, the organ virtuoso and artist, who is not only o great organist, but also a fine classical planist and a master of counterpoint and music- al theory. Of all these Mr, Eddy is a thorough and consclentious teacher. Haupt, of Berlin (the greatest teacher of the organ now living), speaks of Mr. Eddy as one of the foremost or- fan virtuosi in the world, and considers him bis best American Eunfl. As the list includes Thayer, Painc and S. P. Warren, Mr. Eddy's po- sition is clearly defined. Next on thelist vomes the name of Mr, W, 8. B. Matbews, -Dircctor, . widely known throughout the United States as 4 writer on musical subjects, a_critic, and a_teacher of the piano, organ, and theory, Mr. Mathews makes no pretentions fn the line of public perform- ance, but lis extensive teaching expericnce, his musteal scholarship, and especially his analytic habit of mind, combine to render him a superior teacher, and fully justify Willlam Mason in speaking of him as *one of the best teachers L ever knew.” the head of the vocal department stands Mrs. Sara B. Hershey, who s "also the founder of the school, whichis the realization of a long- clierished plan of hers. Mrs. Hershey has not ouly made thorough stadics in singing in this country, but bas also spent three yeurs' study in Berlin, and a number of years in Milanand Lon- don, $he has thus thoroighly posscssed hersell of the modern German romantic school of song, as represented by the writings of Schubert, Schu- mann, and Robert Franz; the ftalian school as illustrated in the operatic works of Rossinl, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, etc.; and the English ballad and oratorio’ school, which is the Ympflr foundation for popular singing in English, whether for the concert-room, the churcl, or the oratorio. In addition to these extended studies in her own department, Mrs. Hershey has studied the piano extensively (with Jean Vogt and Kullak in Berlin), and also the theory of music, while, in the matter of lan- guages, she rot ouly speaks French, German, iud talian, but has thoroughly studied the master-worksin the literatures of those tongues. ‘We mention these things because they serve to indicate her bigh idea of edueation.” Mrs. Her- shey is an excellent teacher, and, although she hasnot been long enough here to fully form good singers, several of her puvils bave already attracted the most favorable notice of connois- seurs, The fullness with which we have spoken of the Directors precludes an_extended notice of the other members of the Faculty, though sev- eral of them richly deserve it. The list in- cludes such well-known names as Miss Ella A. White, Mrs. Clara von Klenze, Mr. Frank T. Baird, Mrs. Christine Nielson, Miss_Freer, Mr. William Levwis, Prof. Eugene von Klenze, etc. The talented young pianiste, Miss Bertha Burge, graduate of the Lelpzig Conservatory, and private pupll of Reinecke, has also been secured. Within a few days arrangements have been made by which Siguor G. N. Carrozzi, the dis- tinguished master of Italian singing, has be- come connected with the school. Signor Car- rozzi is too well known as one of the most ac- complished teachers of Italian singing in this country to require more extended notice. CHAMBIR CONCERTS. The possession of this hall’cnables the man- agement of the school to nrovide a constant suceession of chamber concerts, recitals, mu- sical evenings, and Kllplls’ soirees, at. which the choicest masterworks of musical literature will be presented. There has been here great need of concerts of this kind. which are indispensable to the proper cultivation of the pupils’ taste. Already Mr. Eddy has made the programmes of a serits of orzan recitals extending through the year, embracing about 300 of the fincst things ever written for the orzam, Whick will~ be given in his well-known masterly way. Several series of piano recitals” will be .given here by differeat pinmists during the season, the detals of which are not yet fully arranged. _Here also will take lace a Series of concerts by the Boston Phil- armonic Club, at which they will play more i programmes than they can venture on in their ordinary miscellaneous concerts. The Hershey Music Hall has already been engaged by the DBEETHOVEN SOCIETY. for their rebearsals, reunions, and recitals, and is destined, we have no doubt, to become one of the principal musical centres of this country. ————— COMPLIMENTARY, New Yorx, Jan. 6.—A number of New York’s most fdistinguished! citizens, appreciating the public spirit and fidelity with which William H.

The contraction in business of all kinds has worked no greater good in any single dircction than in showing that first-class pianos need not neccssarily command enormous prices. The Hallet, Davis & Co.’s pianos, confessedly the best made, have always, even in the so-called “dush times,” been sold at perfectly reasonable figures. Hence they hold unabated favor with the public, now that the era of retrenchment 1s upon us, for everybody has learned that tnere is no such _thing "as exorbitance in connection with the Hallet, Davis & Co.’s instruments. These aamirable pianos are sold by W. W. Kimball, corner State and: Adams strects, and bealso deais in other of the best malies of pianos and orgus known to the world of music.
