TR LATEAT PHABE. Lonpox, March 12.—The Vienna correspond- entof the Z¥mes eaya the {nformation that the negotlations now proceeding turn on signing of an International protocol s now con- firmed from so many sldes that it can no Jonger bo doubted that the Porto s to pledee jiself in a protocol countersigned by the owers that it will carry out tho reforms agreed upon by the Powers In the proliminary Conference. This may bo taken as the essence of the Russian proposals, Russia docs not scem to have aban- doned the hops of findiug o form for TIIS INTERNATIONAT DOCUMENT which will overcome British abjectlons, Count Bclionoalofl’s return to London indlcates that it {s thought soma such forn has been found. The correspondent allegos that io has good infor- matlon that Ruesia Is rcadyto mako great concessions ns regards tho form, provided the real essence of her proposal is accepted. Not only does thero soem to bo no fntontion to fn- slst upon an sgreement about eventual mens- ures of coerclon, but everything Is to be avolded beyond proscnt assont to, uud signature by, the Powers of a protocol which mieht entall obliga- tions for the future. In this woy it Is thought tho assent of England may be sccured. OX TIE OTNER HAND the protocol would be so tramed as notto oblige tho Porte to sizn tho document in contradiction with the attitude which it lina taken throughout the negotlations. Thore will conscquently be no question of direct . Intervention ot the Yowers In the Internal affairs of Turkey rclative to the nomination of Guvernors or Commlasioners of Control, or, uarantees gencrally. It scems Russia cven neans to sliow tho greatest llberality in grant- g tima to carry out tho reforme. The corre- spondent adds that, although these concesstons thow a sincere desire for peace, and, althougl the satisfaction which Russia will obtain ap- peara teifllog, © SUE WILL TET OBTAIN HER OBJECT, viz,, the right of control over Turkey and tho canceilation of the treaty of Parls. Tho Porta baving been early Informed of the fore- golng proposal, tried to . parry ft by fssuing 1ts last note, specifylng cloven measures of reform which 1t was already putting into operation. Turkey theroln grauts almost more than Russin nsks for, ‘Therg 1s, of course, conalderablo aifferenco be- tween the note and the internatfoual protocol, | but still the note Is a recognition by Turkey of certaln obligations towards the guarantecing ‘owers. v RUSSIA'S STRANGE BENAVION.

Lapresvondence London Times. Prna, Feb, 15.~Nuw that Turkey has bad her own way in uvurythlnfi in defiance of tho advice and of iho express will of united Europe, all that she may most-dovoutly wish Is to be feft to herself and forgotten. Bervia und Montenegro, tha Turks are now confldent, will have to make cace. Iussin will not venture on war, Aus- ria and Uermany will pigeon-hole their Andras- 8y notes and Berlin memorandums, Fratce and Itaty will congratulute themselves on thelr res- olution to keep, in all events, out ot the scrape; and ju England’ the aflair wifl end in s Parlla: mentary buttle royal. ‘This is what many of the Turks look forward to, and the result for them 18 that they are thelr own inasters, il of oncrous protection and troublesomo guarantecs, and freo to regard treatles as {ron chalus for everythiue that is to their advantago, nnd ns cre cobwebs ur anything that may ve to thelr charge.

Well-Defined Susploions that Dynamite Waa atthe Bottom of the Disasters, A TENEMENT-IIOUSE HOIRROR. Fpecial Diwpatch to The Tridune. New Yonk, March 11.—A fire, which unbap- pily resulted [n the death of two children, and the probably fatal suffocation of two others, occurred this evening In No. 210 Ludlow atreet, a flye-atory tenement, occupled by aboat twenty Jewlish familics. The circumstances under which the fire originated are these: Shortly after7p.m. Mrs, Mansou, the wife of Hyman Maoson, the oceupant of the front rooms on the sccond floor, lighted a kerosene lamp, and, placing it on aburcau altuated near onc of the windows, went into s rear apartment. During her absence her 2-year-old child ascended a chalr placed near the buresu, and pulled off the linen cover, thereby overturning the lamp, which fell to the floor and exploded. The mother of the child, attracted by the nofse, hurriedly re-en- tered the room, barely in time to preserve ler clild from a horrible death. Grasping the child fu her arms, the Affrighted woinan ran sereaming from the apartment and rushed wildly down staira. In the meantime the fire had spread rapldly, totally destroying the furniturc fn the roomns communicating to the ballway, and thence tothe upper floors. Volumes of st!fiing smoke nscended Lo the rooms above, while the wildest confusion and terror reigned amung the people living thereln, a number of whoin succeeded fn making thelr cscape before the cgress by the stalrways was cut offt by the rapldly spreading flames. When the . fire etarted Isracl Levine, a tallor, and his wife and five chil- dren. were fn thelr rooms on the fifth floor. Hearing the cry of fire, and secing that the flames were gaining headway, Levine and his wife carried three of thelr youngest chilren to the sldewalk, but not befure they themselves were subjected to paluful burns on their handa and - fcet. Thelr two remaining children, Abram Levine, aged 8 years, and David Levine, aged 6, ran to the stairway leading to the roof, but finding the rouf-lvor securely locked, returned and afd tn a rear bedroom, Thelr pareuts vainly st- tempted to rescue them, but ~wers driven back by the fire, which was then eaging throughout "the sccond and third floors. Asslstaut-Foreman Thomas Lally, of Hook and Ladder Company No, 0, rushed fato the rowms oecupied by the Levive family, and cstried the bodles of Abram and David fo the roof, where he discovered the former was dead, and that his brother was in a condition of nsensibility, Fireman Dwyer found Hattie Manson, aged 10 years, on the same floor, in- sensible from suffocation. After removing this <hild to the noxt house, Dwyer returued, and in a rear room of the fifth floor found Louls Frank, aged 3, Barney Frauk, aged 5, and a womuan named Weraberg and her three young children huddled together, a terriied and half uncon- sclous group, on the top floor. Taking the Frank chiidren avd - Alrs, Wersberg's 8- weeksold bubo in his arms, the firemun carrled them * to the roof and Into the next house, whils Firemen Geey aud Fnle&'renmed the other chil- dren and the women. Somne thno after the tire was extinguished the dend bedy of Mary Man- son, aged 10 wonths, was discovered in bed in a front bedroom wn the top floor. It appears that this child was taken by her sister Hattie, the girl rescued by Fireman Dwyer, to the flith floor after the breukiug out of thi tire. The body of the boy Abram Levine was deposited by As- slstant-Forcman Lally fo a room of No, 22, and bis brother David was conveyed to Bellevie lospltal 10 au_smbulance. IHattle Manson was ungonsclous when taken to the Eldeidge Street Htatlon, but subscquently recovered. There are fears, however, that she will not survive, and the chances of Lavid Lavin are at best extremely precarions. WRECKED STEAMERS.
