DIPLOMACY. LESITATION. LOKXDOYN, Feb. 2.—A well-informed Vienna correspondent aflirms thut ¢ Safvet Pasha still hesitates to sizn Ignatiefl's conditions defining the castern and southern limits of Bulgaria,” and says: “The conditions also, despite the denial of the Agence Russe, prescribe the expul- sion practically of the entire Mussulman popu- lation. . B THE SULTAN. “The idea of the Sultan’s withdrawal to Broussa is again mooted at Constantinople.” LNGLAND AND RUSSIA. It is persistently malotained, despite the statements in the British Partiament, that the arrangement between England and Russia f§ by no means perfect; that the announcement of a Muscovite intention to occupy Constantinople has caused the whole affair to enter upon a new phese, and that, i consequence, the British squadron has again returned to Prince’s Islands. PRESZURE. “Gen. Imnatiefl’s dragoman is at Constan- tinople pressing the Turks to come to o speedy decision.” GNSATISFACTORT. The London Times aud Daily Telegraph both regard the situation as very unsatisfagtory. The Daily Telegraph says nothing could well be darker thon the prospect. TIHE TURKISI IRONCLADS. CONSTANTINOVLE, Feb. 23.—The draft of the peace conditions contained o stipulation that the six principal Turkish ironclads should be ceded to Russiz on the ground that otherwise the Porte might sell thew to England. The Sultan objected to this stipulation. He stated he wonld prefer to destroy the vessels, and promised not to transfer them to any forelan Powers. The incident terminated by the Sultan undertaking pot to sell the jroncluds to England, incon- sideration of which Russia withdrew her de- mand for their immediate cession. THE TREATY- It is understood the treaty of peace is on the point of being siened. THE GRAND DURE. Tc is probable that the Russian Grand Duke Nicholas will visit the Sultan bere. AN ALTERNATIVE. St. PETERSBURG, Feb. 28.—The Golos says of the protracted peace negotiations: ‘Either the British squadron should withdraw to Besika Bay, or the Porte should see the proof that it reckons in vain upon the presence of the Brit- ish irouclads in the Sea of Marmora. Turkey should be informed that, if peace is not signed at the earliest practicable date, hostilities will be resumed.” IN NO HURRY. Loxpox, Feb. 23.—A Times St. Petcrsburg dispatch says: *The Coufercnce is not likely to meet until the Adrianople negotiations are concluded. Russia does not wish the renewal of hostilities, which would fnevitably resglt in the destruction of the Ottoman Empire. "But her hesitation ought not to be coustrued as weakness or retreat. I'have reason to believe that the cordiality between the Courts of St. Petersburg and Berlin has not jucreased much lately. The official journzls are very reserved {n comment ng on Bismarck’s late speech In the Reichstaz.”” ) NEW RUSSLAN LEVIES. A Paris correspondent sayg: ** According to atelegram from Bucharest, Russian detach- ments are arriviog in Roumania, several of them without arms. It is believed they are destined to form military colonies in Bulgaria.” UNSATISFACTORY. The ZTimes, editorially, says it considers the “Europe is armed to the teetn, and is iucreasing its arma- ments day by day. In such circumstances the country can best give its confidence to the Gov- ernment, and trust that they will be able to control the dangerous susceptibilities which have on all sides been aroused.” TORPEDO EXPEDITION. A Constantinople dispatch says: **Great anxiety prevails bere. Three thousand seamen have passed Adrianople for torpedo service i the Guif of Saros and Sez of Marmora.” SERVIA. A Belgrade dispatch says: *“A feeling of anlmosity sgainst Russia is prevalent here.” MORE FAVORABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 23.—The Agence-Russe says the situation has fmproved through an understanding between England and Russin whereby Russia will not occupy Gallipoll and England will not land troops on the shores of the Dardauelles. Negotiations for peace arc making progress. To hasten them the Grand Duke Nicholas, by agreement with the Porte, has transferred bis headquarters to San Stefano, and will meet there to-morrow Safvet Pasha. The signature to the peace conditions will follow. o GREECE. Armess, Fep. 23.—The Turks have retaken Platanas and entirely destroyed it by fire.

New Yo, Feb. 23.—The Russian Govern- ment has cotered into a heavy contract with a steam-dredging firm of this city. The design is to dredze out & broad ship canal twenty fect in depth and ten miles n length, through the lazoon which separates Cronstadt and St. Pe- tersburg. The contractors say the movement ‘pussesses more than ordinary significance. By the means now proposed, and in furtherance of which engineers have already gone out, a * sea canal ” will afford a safe retreat into the in- terior for a large naval force. The plan‘also embraces a commercial port, or zrand central basin, at the further extremity of the canal, to- gether with lesser basins FOR SMALLER CRAPT, all of which are accessible from the two great Rivers Neva and Volga by means of an artitlcial water-way. Inaddition the Pooteclooff Rail- way, named sfter the officer by whom'the whole scheme was devised, will run parallel with the canal last mentioucd, intérsecting all of thefive lnes of raflway connecting with St. Petersburg on the south,{tacilitating the transfer of freight between the seaboard and the interior or otherwise. The New York firm has de- posited $25,000 in poid in St. Peters- bure as & pledge of good 1aith, and agrees to begin work by the 1st of October mext, finishing the whole in 1883 Meanwhile overations will be suspended aix months in the year on account of ice. All the dredgine machines and scows siwilar to the clam-shell” variety scen about the docks in New York WILL SE MADE IN RUSSIA, but some of the engines will be made in the United States. Mr. Levi Haden, the engineer in charge, was formerly with Morris Matifert, who_first commenced blowing up the rocks in Hell Gate. The mud to be dredged out under the present contract amounts t0 8,750,000 cuble yards, but the total before the work i3 complete will pearly double these figures. The New York company concerned some years ago had a big job of the same kind down In Texas. ENGLAND. PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Loxpox, Feb. 23.—Auberon Herbert (Liveral) will preside at the peace demonstration to- morrow. Bradlaugh will move the resolutions. Anti-Russian papers sooounce 2 loyal and patriotic demonstration at Marble Arch to vote down peace resolutions and protest against any attempt to embarrass the Government during the present crisis, and agalnst the Russian occu- pation of Constantinople. FOREIGN FINANCE. THE ENGLISH MONEY AND STOCK . MARKETS. LoxDo, Feb. 23.—The Times says the recent rise in the price of silver-has been the result, for the most part, of speculation. Its mainte- nauce, consequently, depends upon the present. bolders beiug relieved of their purchases by actual demand. The Economist says the rate of discount in the open market has been firm at 13 per cent. The risein the price of silver is duc to the passage of the Bland Silver bill, the speeulative absorp- tion of India Council’s paper, and purchases by Xussia from Germany for colnage purposes. THE STOCK MARKETS hinve been subjected to very sharp fluctuations during the week. On Taursday the fall of prices was almost universal. Statements were circulated that Russta was massing larze bodies of troops in Roumanis, and buging silver of the Germans to a heavy amount; that our Govern- ment were hurrying forward preparations, and that Lord Derby would make au unfavorable statemeut fn the House of Lords that evening. This Lord Derby did not do. Consequently there has been a fairly good revival of con- fidence, and the result of the week has been o modetate improvement in most securities. AMERICAN SECURITIES. The effect of the passageof the Silver bill through the United States Senate by more than a two-thirds majority was not at once apparent in American bonds. Prices at first showed a tendency to advance, probably in sympathy with the zeneral tone of the markets, but therc has sluce been some genuine selling, which has caused relapse. The American railrond mar- ket has beeu comparatively well supported. “The lockout of 4,000 weavers at Oldbam, if not quickly terminated, is likely to csuse the disemployment of thirty thousand operatives in other branches of trade. MISCELLANEOUS. CAMPHAUSEN. . Brnury, Feb. 23.—There is an unconfirmed rumor that Otto Camphausen, the Minister of Finance and Viee-President of the Council of Ministers, has tendered bis resignation. Loxpoy, Feb. 23.—A Berlin dispatch says: « It the National Liberals do not secure Ben- ningsen’s apoointment to the new office of Vice- Chancellor, they will reject the pending Tax bill, and thus compel Campbausen’s resigna- tiou. If the courage of the Liverals Lolas out, the consequences are likely 1o be zrave. BERLLY, Feb. 23.—Parliament to-day resumed debate on the imperial tobacco and stamp duties. Campbausen, who is a free-trader, sald he had_frequently offered Prince Bismarck Dis resfgnation, and would not_remain at the head of the fivancial administration unless supported by the parties. Bismarck said he would Dot aceept the resignation because no ab- solute difference exists between them at present, Tiie biuls were referred to the Budger Com- mittee. CARDINAL M'CLOSEEY. RoatE, Feb. 23.—Cardinal icCloskey nas ar- rived, SOUTH AFRICA.

FRENCH_ POLITICS.

More Speculations Concerning the Fate of the Silver Bill. It Is Claimed that in the Event of a Veto The Senate Majority for the Bill Would Be Larger than Before. A Report that the Extreme Silver Men in the House Would Snstain “ aVeto. THE SILVER BILL. % MORE SPECULATIONS. Spectal Dispateh to The Tridune. ‘Wasmnerox, D. C., Feb. 23.—Speculations as to the intentions ot the President with re- apect to silver contlae. It is the general opin- ion that the bill will be vetoed. The next ques- tion is, VI the veto be sustained? Some be- lieve fc will be, and that the four votes In the Senate necessary to prevent its passage can be secured. Some are so confidect that they even undertake to name the Senators who they- think will change their vote. This theory i3not tenable. There arc at least three Senators who did not approve of the bill, and who voted for it hoping that its passage would cause the sgitation in the country to cease. Those Semators are Windom, Paddock, and Cameron, of Wisconsin. Every reason that induced them to vote for the bill would prevent them from sustsining s veto. Some of them have declared that toey SHOULD NOT VOTE TO SUPPORT A VETO. It is even said that Ben Hill, who voted against the bill, hos privately written to his State io- forming the people he will not defy thelr wishes further by voting to sustain a veto. If this is true, the bill would be stronger in the Senate after a veto than before. In the House there are indications that somo of the extreme silver men might sustain a veto. Ben Butler indieated that he would, and it 1s possible that Ewing, Springer, and their follow- iug may do so. The mint officers deny that any action they may have taken isto be interpreted as fudi- cating that tne President will sign the bill. it is certain that vreparations are making to io- crease the capacity of the mints for colning silger, but the officers say thesc preparations are taken in anticipation of the passage of the bili OVER A VETO. The order forbidding the further colnage of trade dollars except where a guarantee is given that they are needed for exportation is similar to the ove given several weeks ago. The ex- isting deposits of bullion for manufacturing into trade dollars is about 31,600,000. The President is likely to act upon the Silver bilt during the coming week, and will not re- tain it uutil the expiration of the constitutiondl ten days’ limit. * ‘The fears that the Secretary of the Treasury will not execate the law are not well founded. If his own word was not enoueh, the circum- stances under which the law was passed, and the almost constant presence of Congress bera would be likely to insure the faithful execution of THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW. Many points have been discovered by which he could practically nullify the law if so disposed. No directions arc given as to the manner in which the silver is to be used. If the revenua is sufficient for the cxpenditures, the silvee coined in the next three years could be retained in the Treasury as a coin reserve by re- . placing the gold reserve with silver dollars. Apother mcans of evasion i found in the existing law which permits the Secretary ol the Treasury to sell goid for greenbacks, and to use the greenbacks for current expense. Two millions monthly cortd be taken from the gold reserve through this law, aud be replaced by an equal amonns of silver until THE GOLD SHOULD BE EXHAUSTED. There is gold enough to last until the end o this Administration, meanwhile all the silver coia could be kept in the Treasury. The cus- tows could be paid in gold. Such construction of the law would undoubtedly be followed oy stringent legislation. Itis not probable that the President would permit the voice of the people to be so thwarted. Under the bill as passed, bankers &ud citizens can make contracts o pold, paper, and silver, and_the banks, it is claimed, mig] combine azainst_silver. The Seeretary of the Treasury, If the Resumption act is uot revealed, can also use the law as an ¢fivient means to re- sumption by paying out silver as rapidly as coined, und . HOLDING GREENBACKS. The point is raised that, as the law does not de- fine the standard in which the Sccretary IS to estimate the worth of the builion which he he may do it in zold, lezal-tender, or sil- His chofce_ of the basisof the standard might makea difference of o large amount in the bultion purchase.
