[By Cabie to The Chicago Tribune.l Loxvox Orrice oF Tae Cmcaco TRIBUNE, Sarssury Streer, W. C., July 7.—Follow- ing tho cue given by the Chauncellor of the Exchequer, the Conservative papers adopt a non-committal tone regerding the recent movement of the fleet, and declare it does not indicate a threat towar,1 Russia or to aid Turkey, but it is no less a {hreat of the most distinct kind, and is felt to be so by the Czar. The Spectator to-day, in arguing against. the move of the fleet, curiously enough states the very points which prove the real object of the order. Itsays: *The ordersending the fleet there does not strengthen the hands of the Government in the East, for the fleot was just as powerful, almost as near the Bosphorus, and much more sccessiblo to emergent orders while lying off Pirens than while stationed at the Roadstead, which has no recommendation other ‘than that it is Tarkish.” A LAME AND IMPOTENT CONCLUSION. New York, July 7.—The Times' London special says the Chancellor of the Exchequer made an 2osurd blunder in the House of Com- mons when e stated, in reply to a question, that the object in ordering the British squad- ron to its present station was that Besika Buy is convenient and central, and the Admiral would be epabled more readily to communpicate from there with Layard at Constantivople and with the Government in London.” This was the objection to sending the squadron to the Sucz Cunal, a station which he said is neither convenient or central. Some other explanation for seuding the squadron of seven powerful irou-clads and one frigate to Besika Bay must be looked for. It is notorious that the telegraphic facilitics represented by the Chancellor to be so necessary are far better at the station previously occupicd by it. IN BULGARIA. FOR THE BALEANS. [By Cable to The Chicago Tribune.] Toxpo¥ OFrFicE oF T Caicico TRIBUNE, Sanspusx Streer, W. C., July 7.—A dis- patch from Bucharest says it is believed there that the Russians meditate a rapid march across the Balkans, through the Schipka Pass with one column, while another will merch upon the Quadrilateral of the west side. The eastern side is already effec- tively threatened by Gen. Zimmerman's corps, which is ot Silistria, so that Abdul- Kerim could not well detach an important Lody of his troops, ecither from Varnia or Shumln, to resist the Russinn advance on Adrisnople. THE SITUATION AS SEEN BY A CORRESPOND- To the Western dssociated Press. Loxpox, July 7.—The military situation now appears to be as follows: The Turks have changed frout and faced to the westward since the Rus- sians’ entrance into Bulgaria, The Russians are deploying, with their left flank resting on the Danube, to face the Turkish line from Rustcbuk to Shumla. When this movement is completed a geueral battle may be expected, unless the Turks fall back to the Balkans, or the Russians mask the whole quadrilateral and turn it by passing the Balkans. The Russian forces coming through the Dobrudscha are ap- proaching the rearof the Turkish Rustchuk and Shumlaline. This column is too strong to be oppused by any force detached from the Turkish main body, while the main body itself cannot turn upon it witbout exposing its rear to the Russian main force. This s the situa- tion, as the correspondent writes. He seems entirely to ignore the existence of Silistria, Var- na, and Kustendji, and the latest information fixes garrisons at thesc places respectively at 22,000, 20,000, aud 10,000, which, operating on the flank or rear of the Russian Dobrudscha force, would paralyze its efforts to co-operate with the army in Central sulgaria. Besides the garrisons of these fortified places, Suleiman Pasha’s army, which Is now stated te be em- barkiog at Antivari, could be landed at Varna, which would make the number of Turks on the Russian flank alone over 50,000. The Russian Dobrudscha corps is stated to number only 80,- 000. BIELA CAPTGRED. Sr. PETERSBURG, July 7.—Itis officially an- nounced that the Russian dragodds occupied Bicla on the 5th, and were joined on the 6th by a detachment of infantry. TURKISH REPORT3. CoNSTANTINOPLE, July 7.—Redif Pasha tele- graphs from Shumla under date of Friday, as follows: *‘The Russians attempted near the Baba redoubt, tive hours march from Silisiria, to disembark troops with artillery, crossing the Danube on twenty rafts towed by three steam- ers. The Turks bombarded the rafts, which precipitately turned back. One large raft with troops and stores was much damaged.” ASIA MINOR. POSITION UF THE ARMIES, ErzEROUN, July 7.—The following is the position of the forces in Armenia: Turkish right wing confronts the Russian left at Utsch-Kilissa. Faick Pasha has a fresh body of 12,000 Russians opposed to him near Bayazid. Another Russian diviston of 20,000 is marching towards Ardahan. Moukhtar Pasha’s advanced guard is within fourteen miles of Kars. Battles are expected at Utsch-Kilissa and Bayazid. Itfs also belfeved that Moukhtar Pasha willbe engaged soon. The ‘provisfoning of the belligerent armics i3 now a matter %K great difficulty. - KARS, CoNsTANTINOPLE, July 7.—Moukhtar Pasha telegraphs under date of the Gth that his army had arrived at Kerkponuar, five hours' march from Kars. Communication with Kars had been restored, the Russians, who occupied posi- tions near Hadji-[all, having retired beyond the fortress. GONE TO TIFLS. The Grand Duke Michael had gone to Tiflis. A BATTLE. The Governor of Erzeroum telegraphs, under date of Thursday, that the Russians dislodzed at Utsch-Kilissa retreated to Ipck and Guedik, where a battle is proceeding. ™ THE EGYPTIAN FLEET. The Khedive of Egypt has placed his fleet at the disposal of the Porte. BAYAZID. St. PETERSBURG, July 7.—It is officialiy an- nounced that tho Erivan column arrived on the 5th fnst. in the vicinity of Igdyr to complete stores of provisions and war material previous to marching to the relief of Bayazid, where the Russian garrisou maintains its position, though surrounded by twenty battalions and 10,000 cav- alry. GORTSCHOAKOFYF.' TIHE RUSSIAN PROGRAMME. - VIENNA, July 7.—Prince Gortschakoff, in an interview with a distinguished statcsman, stated that only the Servian question induced hun to accompany the Czar to the seatof war. fle had prevented Servian co-operation, although ur- gently offered, n order to avoid European com- splications. Russia hud acted on two principles: First, to avoid all interference with the internal affalrs of Servia and Roumania, and not en- colirsge them to warfare against Turkey: and, secondly, to decline, so long as the war lusted, any intervention by the. Powers, who, at the conclusion of peace, wonld have au opportunity of protecting all their interests. . THE PROSPECTS IN BULGARIA. The Russians were prepared for greater re- slstance by Turkey thau has hitherto been ex- perienced. He concluded as follows: “If we succeed n a decisive battle in Bulgaria, our task will be completed in a short time. If the Turks retire into the Baikans, and I have reason to betieve they will, we shall have annoy- ing delays because of their escellent positions for defense. Then will commence our difti- culty in proyisioning the army.” FANATICISM AND TOLERA- TION. QUAINT WAR BULLETINS FOR MOINAMMEDAN TURKS--RUSSIA INDIFFERENT TO CHRISTIAN3 OUISIDE THE GLEES CUURCH~TURKISH LIB- ERALITY EXPLALNED. Carrespondence New York Tribune. CONSTANTINOPLE, Junc 10.—Official reports are interesting reading In the original. Tuere 1s a spice intended for the Moslems alone which disappears in the French translations. The Emperor of Germany was a mark for witty crities in his pious war bulletins. The Turkish war bulletins put him to the blush entrely. This is from a Major-General: ‘ The battle was very fierce, and lasted for three hours, and, glory to God, five of the cnemy were killed. ‘An Admiral has to announce the loss of an jron- Gad. e says: “The steam-launches ap- proached to within a short distunce, and may God preserve the remainiug ships of our fleet. At this time the Imperial iron-clad called ¢ The Sward of the Lord ’ received a blow from a tor- pedoof the fish kind, which proceeded from the steaw launch,andit exercised suchau intluence on her stern that she sauk; aud, thanks to the Most Hieh, all the officers and crew escaped. This sad oceurence was doubtless a necessity to the Great God, and as is well known, He always ives victory after such defeat.” A fight in the Caucacus is thusreported: 41Ve had ten martyrs and twelve wounded, and 800 of the cnemy went to perdition, and as many more were wounded, Which we canuot Dbut ascribe to the Spiritual aid of the Prophet aud to the favor shown by Almightr God toward our glorious Sultan, the retuge ofa Uni- verse.” ‘This_is not exactly Tartullish. The common people, at least, reaily have faith that the God of vattles is listening to their prayer and praise. Jt is only a pity that they do bot add to thelr faith some article requiring o wortal life fn harmony with faith and prayer. It is very much of 8 wondar to forcigners why there should be any hesitation among the Christisns of Turkey as to which side they snould sympathize with in this fizht. There probably is mo such hesitation fn Servia, and Roumanis, but they arc piecisely the two proviuces which have been independent of all Turkish control for a_scorc or more of years. The Rusaian mode of speaking often Tuisleads foreizuers into the suppusition that the Clristians of Tarkey are concentrated in Seryia, Roumania, and Bulgaria, or, at any rate, in European Turkey. This mistake very natu- rally arises from thic fact that when the Czar or any Russion speaks of Christians, he means Cliristians of the Greek Church, wiile other Eu- pean peoples understand the term to apply to all the various Christian sects of Torkey. The Czar Nicholas explained tnis phrase at the time of . the Crimean War. —‘Even should the Christians,” said he, *‘not under- staud this (their duty to rebel)from Leing under the influence of Europe, which is given over to false religious, the Czar must persevere in the mission which Heaven has confided to him as Chief of the Ortaodox Christians,—that is to Bay, to withiraw forever from the Ottoman sov- ereignty those who profess the true Christian re- ligion,—thatis,the relizion of theGreek Clurch.” 1 tnention thie simply because there are alresdy signs that Russia may make peace on the basis of territorial acquisitions and the welfare of the Greek Christians, without taking any steps for the protection of the Christians of Asia Minor. There is danger that Europe will again accept the Russian phraseology and the Russian view as to who the Christians of Turkey are, as was the case at the Conference. The attitnde of the Turkish Christians is like that of the woman who watehed her husband fightinz the bear, aud Qidu’t care much which whipped. The Tarks are most liberal in_their application of the word Christian. Al kinds and sorts are alike infidel. Yet, by o _singular contradiction, the highest prelates of all the Christian sccts are treated with the greatest respect; are decorated with orders of the first class, arc allowed guards of honor from the army when they ridc in state, aud the soldiers present arms to them. More- over, all churches in Turkey, and church and sehiool property have ulways been free from tazation; all priests and teachers can bring anything whatever 1nto Turkey from abroad en- tirely free of duty. In fact, the certificate of & Christian Bishop that a case contains #oods for church, school, or monastery, is generally suf- ficient to pass the case throngh the Custom- House without cxamination, as well as_without Quty. Nor are these privileses coniined to na- tive Christians. _The American missfonaries resident in Turkey are allowed by the Government to import I[rom abroad free of duty whatever they choose for personal use, or fur their schools or church- es, apd they have so imported for many years, free of duty, goods to_the value of $15,000 or $20,000 per annuin. The French and Italian Jesuits annually import poods toa.very much larger amount, and absolutely un uestioned by the. Governmept. Hospitals and orphanages established by Christians have aiso generally 8 grant of one army ration per day for each in- mate . from this stranze Moslem Government. These curlous customs date back to the palmy daysof Ottoman history, when the ‘Empire was he terror of Enrope, and the mizhty Sultan conld efully dispense favor to all who dwelt a::u.h Els protection. But these priv- PRICE FIVE CENTS. ileges have never been withdrawn, and are an anomaly of our time, the fact of whose existence explains much that' one hears about Turkish liberality and kindness to Christiana.

New Yors, July 7.—A London dispatch says: “Strong rumors have reached here from Rome that the Pope died to-day.” ‘THE PRENCH CLERICALS AND THE POPE. Dispatch 1o London Daily News. RouE, June 15.~1 give the following state- ment, very confidently made bere, for what it may be worth: The French Clericals are im- portuning the Pope to transfer his sbode from Rome to France, and it is even said that in thus importuning bim they have the support of in- fluential political persous. There was a talk of bis taking this step some weeks back, and, after the Lyonese pilgrims came, the request is believed 10 have been remewed _with greater urgcnu{ than ever. The Pope, however, his been steadily dissuaded by his physiciaus from leaving the Romaa climaste. There was a moment, it is alleged, when he scemed inclined to comply with this request, and then he said to the Lyonese pilzrims, *11 1 come to Lyons you will receive me as your an- cestors received Innocence IV.” Within these few davs the Catholic clubs of Marseilles sud Lyons are rcémned to have again entreated him tocome to France, for the good of the country and the restoration of falien monarchy, and at the Vatican it is belicved he may yet bo pre- vailed upon. MEXICO. ELECTION—RAILROAD CONCESSION. . SN Fraxcisco, July 7.—A Tucson dispatch with Guaymas dates to the 20th of June says that Mariscal has been elected Governor. The report says that the General Government has appointed Gen. E. Huerta Provisional Governor and Military Commander of Sonora, ana that the electiou for members of Congress is an- nulied. A telégram from the City of Mexico says the Sonora Kailroad concession was approved by the Government on the 8th of June. CUBA. INSURGENT PRISONERS SHOT.

Sax Fraxcisco, July 7.—A Portland press dispaich says: “Before the Scuatorial Invest gating Committee, W. J. McConnell, of Yam- hill Corty, testified that Wilson, 8 member of' the House from Tillamook County, who voted for Grover, who was elected under a pledge to vote for Nesmith, and whose property’Twas Teayily mortgaged before the meeting of the Legislature, paid off some debts and canceled his mortgazes ‘Immediately after the ajourn- ment of the Legislature; that he was seen to display copsiderable sums of money, and chaneed $20 pieces frequently in Portland just after the Senatorial clection. W. J. Miller, of Wasco, testified that Butler, a member of the House from that county, who ‘as supposed to be in limited circumstances be- fore the clection, immediately after purchased half ap interest in a steam saw-mill for £3,000, which occasioned surprise and remarks among his neignbors. The parties managing the fovestigation say they arc only on the threshold of the testimony. Mosier, of Wasco County, who approached ex- Scnator Nesmith and wanted money for his vote, and afterward yoted for Grover, and who told Goodman, the Scoator from Lian County, that movey could be had, and_that it was rizht to take it,is keeping out of the way of the United States Marshal. When last heard from, he was more -than a hundred miles from home in the mountains. It is not believed that he will be found. It hasnot yet been possible to find Butler, Mosier's fellow member, and it is feared both will clude the Commission, who are making every effort to sccure the attcndance of these persons. OUR NAVY.

The moderate Louisianians here have doubits whether partisan malice can drive the lastlitch faction to such an extremity. There is little doubt, however, that the position taken by this extreme faction of the Democracy will have a very injurious effect upon the claim of Judse Spofford, ‘the new Bourbon Senator, for admission to the Senate. It is ecvident that this featire of the case bas piven the Demoeratic managers North some concern, for it has been ascertained that dispatches have been sent from here to New Orleans WARNING TIE BOURRONS that their action would be very injurious to Judge Spofford. The fact telegraphed last night. that the Senate Commitiee on Elections has already formally voted to admt Kellogg, has special significance, in view of the late development that the vote was a party vote, and Guorge F: Hoar, member of ‘the Electoral Commission . and of the Committee, voted to admit Kellogg. The vote was based upon the . assumption that the Packard Lewislature when the Ubited States Senator was clected was the legally constituted Legislature of Louis- iana, and that it did not, and does not, matker :}‘gnl has become of that Legislature since that nc- ‘The Republican managers will place them- selves upon Hoar's position,—that it is enough for the Senate to know that the then Legisia- ture was lugal.

There are some fears in official quarters that filibusters and adventurers, who own such fargze anounts of Mexican cluims, purchused for 10 mills on the dollar, may succeed in ereating acollision between the troops of Gen. Ord and Diaz on the Rio Grande, so that the border cam- plications may prove very serious and embar- rassing to the Government. It is said now that the filibusters aim to provolie aconflict, and that thev wonld not hesitate to organize a band of adventurers to cross the border for the very purpose of having Gen. Ord carry out his orders and follow. The Administration hos.. been folly'advised of this scheme.
