The Russo-Turkish Peace Negotiations Virtually Concluded. Turkey to Retain Possession of Her Iron-Clad Fleet. Russin Will Erect Bulgaria into a Sclavonic Prin- cipality. Why Great Britain Is So Tender Regarding the Egyptian Tribute. It Is Already Pledged for In- terest on Certain Turk- * ish Bonds. Most of Which Bonds Are Held by the English People. Austria Casts a Longing Eye on Bosnia and Herze- govina, Recent Orders for Dlobilization Attributed to This Fact. Insurrection in Full Blast in Soveral of the Greek Provincos. ENGLAND’S NUMILIATION. SHE FIELS IT DEEPLY, Svectal Dispateh fo The Tribune. Loxpon, Fob, 27—0 a. m.—The end {s at hand. Tho treaty of pence does not seem to havo boen yet signed, but it is known that all its terms have boon agreed upon, and the delay is due to a desire to propare for carry. ing them out before they are mado public, Tho cession of tho greater part of tho Turk- ish fleat iz still ona of them. Appenrances Indicate that Russia has NO INTENTION OF RELINQUISHING ANY OF UXR ADVANTAGES -to ploaso either England or Austria. It is bolieved that Austrin dare not go to war, and that, without her aid, England cnnmnot. Immedintely following tho official publica- tion of the terms of the treaty, however, both Powers must define their position, and it ia likely that Aarch will come in de- cidedly with the Lion of War or the Lamb of Pence. Thore is again MUCH DISSATISFACTION in the Conservative party hore with the po- sition of Lord Derby, and an effort will be made to revive the ogitation among the mem- bers of Parliamont which so nearly caused Lis rosiguation two weelks ago. AMONG THE WAL PARTY the feeling of anger aud dissppointment is intense, and, should the terms of the treaty bo found to contain what has herstofors been olaimed, it ia oxpocted that a large wing of the Conservativa party will direotly roquest Lord Derby's res- ignation, and that of any other Minister who may oppose war with Russia. Indoed, there seems to be A GENUINE WAR CRAZE among one portion of tho Government sup- porterd, and, from the manner in which they rave, one would imagino that Ruasia had sotually committed some hostile mot against England, As heretoforo stated in my dispatches, howaver, Russia will probably insist upon ber terms, particularly THE CESSION OF THE TURKISH YLEET, after which the Conferenca can again close the Dardanelles to war-ships without any remonstrance from Russis. Having naval supromacy on the Black Sea slready, slie will have no objection to shutting out all other flects.” THE TREATY-MAKERS, DELAY, Pxna, Feb. 28—0 o'clock,—~The terms of peace are not yet signed. ’ RCSSIANS MARCHING FORWARD, Gen, Gourko, with 80,000 men, {s marching to Saun Btefano.

STILL PERSISTING, Pena, Fob, 20.~The Russians ara still endeav- orlog 10 secure pormission for their troops to enter the city, but the Porto refuses.

Lonpox, Feb. 20.—A Berlin dispatch suys: Germany will bo represented at the Couference by the Prussian Becretary of State, Herr Von Bulow, assisted by the Coundillor of Legation, Buwch, VERAIONS OF TR FEACH CONDITIONS are wiidly divergent respectiug Bulgaris sud {o. demnity. Some persous say the indemnity is £300,000,000' sterling, which is tabulous, while others say It is £40,000,000, the latter smount being iudepeudeat of territorial cesslon, » TUS RUSMLAN ULTIMATUM. » Loxpoy, Feb. 2.—A dispatch from Constap- tiuople confirms the repors that the susrender \ 1 of the Turkish fleet as s portion of the in- demnity still forms tho subject of negotiations. It s said that a Russian ultimatum has been received {psisting that the conditions of peace be slgned. The report lacks official confirma- tion, WILL NOT BUDGR. Loxvow, Feb. 27—5 a. m.—A Parls corre- s been Informed on relisble autliority that Russta is resolved to fight rather then sbate her inteotions. The Sultan Is to retain his fleet. The ques- tion of the straits is to be submitted to & Con- ference, when §f England, as {a probable, pro- Dogea the praservation of the atatus quo, Rusala, 1t 1s stated, whil not seriously oppose her. It wouldseem, therefore, asIf alltheavowed British fnterests are respected, and danger of conflict between Russia and England is ended. 8uch, hawever, 18 not the opinion here. The delegations have feft much soreness. It fs thought England’s real aim fs the humiliation of Russia. These feelings may possibly lead to the most serious consequences.

AUST B PROWNED DOWN, Tho Times, {n o leading cditorial, approves in principal Lord Derby's statement in the House of Lords last night, but concludes thatthe Goverument must review the final terms uf peace very carefully, and If some of the rumpr- «ed conditions prove to be really demanded, they ought to be met by tho atrongest protest. 20 NEWS, Loxnox, Feb. 20.—In the Houss of Lords the aftcrnoon Lord Derby ‘replying to an ine quiry confirmed the statement that the sizoa- ture of the treaty of peace was expected yester- day, but safd that when ho left the Forelgn Ottice no information in relation thersto had Ueen roceived.

FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE. . WEERRLY REVIEW, Loxpox, Feb, 20.~The Murk Lane Erpress saysitis likely u cold and unseasonble spring may be experlenced, as we bave bad littie but winter weather, and the falluro of last year's wheat crop was largely attributablo to the sction of late frosts. Offerings of En- glish whent at Mark Lane and Provincial markets contiouo scanty, Nelther Las there been much inducement to farmers to thresh, as prices have ruffered a declded relapse by reason of tholess agitated state of political affulrs. Forelgn wheat bas also reached our shores in greater quantity, owing to tho action of Awmerfa and Uermany, whose uoited con- tribution to Inst Monday's arrtvals amounted to nearly 85,000 quarters, while imports foto Liv- erpool have also been decidedly larger.

TIIE SILVER BILL. A CABINET COUNCIL. Bpectul Dispatch to The Tribune. ‘WasuiNarox, D. C., Feb. 20.—After the ad- Journment of both Ho the Sliver bill was #iven to Sherman, who took it to the Treasury, whero he was met by Attorney-General Devens, and n long consultation was held. Sccretary MecUrary states to-night that no declsion hns beeu reached, and that mome Wil be reached today. It s known that in tho Cabinet Attorney-General Devens, Becretary Schurz, and Postmaster-Gen- vral Key supported an absolute and uucondi- tional veto. Secrotaries McCrary and 'f'nompson favored the Sllver bill, ond urged that it be signed, or at least be allowed to become o law without sigoature. Secretary Evarts favored a wveto, but toak little interest in the discussion. Becretary Sherman, aitbough he did not defl- nitely commit himself, wus inclined to thiok that resistance would be useless; that the cone sisteucy of the President could be prescryed by S10NING THE BILL UNDER PROTEST. Bherman wag less opposed to the Benate bill, with the Sénate smendments, and urged mem- bers of the ouse to vote for thelattor. He fook the ground in the Cabinet that perbaps the bill i the best of the two evils, and that if it should be defeated the sflver men would be ex- asperated. Secretary Shermaa atated that all preparation had been made to carry out the bili, TUR VETO MESSACE 18 partly prepared. At least, the President had s manuscript at the mesting which will furnish the basis ot tho veto message. It will probably be scnt to Congress Thursday, Stantey Matthews, Foster, and Garfleld pre- dlet o vato. The Director of the Mint cxpects tue bill to become a law, and says the Secretary of the ‘I'reasury would never bave made tho preparations, which foclude sven large purchase of bullion, if the bill was not to become a law, To the Western Ansociated Press, Wasminuton, U. C., Feb. 20.—Members of tho Cabluet sre uousually reticent regarding the tenor of the discussion upon the Silver bill or asto the probable results. There Is, how- ever, ground for believing that the President wili, in & day or two, address s message to Con- 38 (0 councetion with the bill now awaiting 18 oetion.
