A Rumor Afloat that Russia Will Treat with Each Power Separately. Additional Talk Concerning the Alleged Anti-Russian Alliance. GIVES UP EVERYTHING. WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT TURKEY DOES. [By Cable to The Chicaqo Tribune.l Loxpoy, Feb. 2.—Server Pasha has in- formed the Porte that the Grand Duke Nicholas had agreed to sign the protocol of | peace, reserving the right of later negotia- tions. Thisis regarded here as meaning that Raussin will ACCEPT ALL TEAT IS GEANTED by Turkey, but does not preclude herself from obtaining other advantages during the final settlement. It is believed that Russia will obtain such guarantees from Turkey as will place it out of the latter's power to re- fuse any conditions Russia may impose, and that THE ONLY RESTRAINT that can be put upon her will be such as ean be exerted by the other great Powers of Europe. On this account she will probably DECLINE TO ENTER ANY GENERAL EUROPEAN CONGRESS, but will endeavor to obtain a settlement with each Power scparately, playing off one Power sgainst the other. Tt is not probablo that any further active operations will be attempted by the Russien armies, but it is feared that neither Servia mor Greece will stop their forces until the former acquires possession of all Old Servis, and the latter takes Thessaly and Epirus. PEACE. SIGNED. St. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2.—The bases of the Russian peace conditions have been sizned. ‘Brussers, Feb. 2.—The Journat de Bruzelles ounces that it has received 2 dispateh from Constantinople saying that the armistice was slgned yesterday. RATHER ENIGMATICAL. Loxpoy, Fev. 2—The Journal de St. Peters- urgsays: It Turkey were a civilized Power, caring for the interests of all her subjects, the present occupation of her provinces might com- pel her to make peace, but us the circumstances are otherwise, the conclusion of peace is hardly possible.” EUROPEAN CONFERENCE. Russia has accepted Austria’s proposel of a conference for settling the European questions resulting from the war, but the place is not yet determined. THE CZAR'S PROMISE. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 2—1:30 p. m.—The Czar has telegraphed the Sultan promising to grant an armistice. UNDER RESERVE. Server Pasha, Foreign Minister, and one of the Plenipotentiaries, telegraphed yesterday that the Russian Grand Duke Nicholas was ready to sign the protocol of peace prelimina- ries, under reserve of ulterior negotiations. The Grand Vizier, in reply to Server Pasha’s dispateh, suthorized bim to sign the armistice and peace preliminaries. STOPPED. All the military movements and the immi- gration of Mussulmans have been stopped. MORE CORRESPONDENCE. Parts, Feb. 2—A telegram from Cairo an- nounces that the Grand Vizier of Turkey bas telearaphed to the Khedive that the protocol of the armistice is ready for signature. The Sultan telegraphed the Czar accepting the peace conditious and asking the Czar 10 stop the ad- vance of the Russian troops. The Czar replied that he was about. to give orders to that effect. GAMBETTA’S SENTIMENTS. LoxDox, Feb. 2.—A special from Paris says Gambetta declares any eogagements made at Kezanlik modifyine the treaty of 1553 must be considered null and void. The Russian condi- tions, Gambetta declares, except the demand for indemnity, involve a flagrant violation of that treaty. French interests in the East, he cousiders, have hardly changed since 1858. Gambetta fusists that the warcan only be ter- minated by o Europeaa Congress. ITALY. A Rome special says the proposal of an Ital- fan allisnce with Powers which are opposed to Russian aggrandizement, but at the same time guarantecing the freedom of the Christian na- tionalities, is most favorably entertained. The Pope and Cardinal Simeoni, Pontifical Secretary of State, are agreed s to the necessity of en- couraging the allianee of Italy with England, France, and Austria. DESIRES A SOLID PEACE. CoxgTANTINOPLE, Feb. 2.—The following is the text of the Czar's telegram to the Sultan w1 desire peace a5 much as you, but it is neces- sary for me, necessary for us, that it should be 1 solid and durable peace.” LINES OF DEMARCATION.

MEOEMET ALI PASHA lhas been appointed Commander of Pera. FOREIGN FINANCE. THE LONDON MONEY AND STOCE MARKET. Spectal Dispatch to The CAlcage 1ribune. LosDOx, Feb. 2.—The Economist says: *Not- | withstanding the reduction of the Baok of En- gland rate of discount to 2 per cent, there is scarcely zny change in the general aspect of the money market. Threce months’ bills are still quoted at 134 per cent. After the Ministerial explanation in Parliament on Friday week there was a very merked and general rise o stocks. The buoyancy did not continge far jnto this week. All through, howevex,. prices remaived, +| at a range correspondinz to the hopes of peace, and ramors of an armistice cansed the market to close on Friday at apout the best points of the week. American telegrams now indleate the probability of the Governmend bonds being paid on the silver basis, asilver par being at the preseat price of silver 10 per cent below a gold par. Whatever price silver may ummmfli rise to, such change must disturb the credit the Government making it.” MISCELLANEOTUS. o CUBA.

Mavcn CuuNk, Pa., Feb. 2.—The zood Catt olics of this scction of the country are thore oughly excited over a miracle that is alleged to have been wrought upon the person of Miss Amelia Greth, a lady sbout 36 years of age, an intelligent and devout church woman, by Father Heinan, the parish priest at Mauch Chunk. Miss Greth has beenill along time with consumption, attended by violent hemorrhages of the lungs. A short while ago 2 lady friend of the invalid dled,and Miss Greth avowed that the spirit of the former appeared to her with the interesting ioformation that she was explating her sius fn purgatory. Miss Greth thereupon avowed her willingness to suffer any penance by which her deceased friend might be relieved. The spirit then told ber that she would die at 7 o’clock thix (Saturday), morning, and oce hour after wards Father Heinan would have the power of working the miracle of her resurrection in the flesh. The prophecy was fultilled, according to the testimony of apparently truthful, how- ever credulous, witnesses, in the withdrawal of Tier soul from the body at tle appointed hour. Miss Greth scemed ingnimate, was unconscious, and was periectly powerless physically. TWhile lying in this condition the body was visited and viewed by several thousand people, who seemed perfectly satistied at the verity of her death. There was the most intense excite- ment meenwhile, and the subject engaged the attention of the whole community. At last the hour cxpired, and Father Heinan came forward, and, in the presence of o goodly number of witnesses, and said, ** I will now call ber.” He then pronounced the Christian name of the decessed, * Amelia,” in u loud voice. Therc was no response. He then called o second time, ** Amelia,” and still there was no respcmse, and no motion of the corpse. A third call, “ Amelia,” was then made, whereupon she arose, to the astonishment of the people, and pronounted herself perfectly well. She then dressed herself without detav, and walked to church, three-quarters of s mile away, at o rapid gait, Without assistance, but followed by hundreds of spectators. She tuea attendea High-Mass, celebrated by Father Heinan, at which profound gratitade was re- turned Almighty God by the whole congrega- tion in view of the wonderful miracle that had been wrought in their midst.] Miss Greth then returned home, and seems to be as well as_ever, ond boldly anmounces herself tne subject of o miracle. She de- clines to say what happencd to herself while ber soul was out of her body. and doubi~ Jess will not do so unless ordered so to do by her spiritual adviser. Father Helusn, who i3 credifed with beiog the divine instrument in the work, is a 200d priest, in good standing, greatly beloved for his fuith and works. The affair creates the iutensest excitement, and will be thoroughly investigated by the ecclestastical authorities. ] LORD---HICKS. Son Charles Makes Several Tmportant Ad. missions, and States 1ils Grievances ul Length. New Yors, Feb. 2.—Charles Lord was found last evening in his residence, 6 East Forty-first street. He admitted that the threatening let- ters to Mrs. Lord, embodied in the afidarit of his father, were written by him. His counsei werepresent aud restrained him in his_expres sions. His admissions were substantially thal since 1872, Mis. Hicks, now Mrs. Lord, bor rowed from his father about $900,000. While she was absent in Europe his fathei was uneasy about the money, but when she returned to New York she drew him under her influence once more. He then lost Iiis fears, and continued to loan her money. He (Charles Lord) learned these facts and be- came exasperated. He was ill, had a family, and was dependent upon bis father, who had compelled bim to rely upon the estate for sup- port. His father had refused him money, oo the ground that there was a great deal due which be could not collect, and as he learned that Mrs. Hicks was drawing money from the estate, he beczame maddened and wrote a Jetter to her in which he used expressions which were perfectly naturat under the circam- stances, but which he now considered were ‘somerwhat foolish.
