O’Leary Still Ahead in the Great International Walking Match. SPLITTING ITAIRS. THAT I8 WHAT ENOLAND 18 REALLY DOING, (By Cableto The Chicage Tribune,) Loxpon, March 22—5 5. m,—The full text, of the Russo-Turkish treaty as published here does not add much to what was alrendy known. England has requested a definite answer from Russin as.to whothor the latter intends to submit the wholo treaty to the Cougress or. not, and on Russia’s answer will depend England's participation in its proceedings. According to statements made by Lord Derby in the Houso of Lords last night, this was the only quostion at issue between the two Governments, It would seem that a matler so purely ceromonious and non- essential in its nature ought not to create much trouble, but utn precisely for that reagon that ITA IMPORTANCE 18 EXAGGREATED, Russia is willing to communicate tho full text of the treaty to sll interested Powers, and it is within the night of any Power in the Congross to call up cach one of the articles for discussion. The whole treaty, therefore, i practically beforo the Congress. England, however, insists that Russin shall formally Place the full treaty beforo the Congross, ap- parently for no other reason than to make it sppear that there are no points which Russia could possibly arrange with Turkey unlesa England and the other Powers gave their graclous consent, It is to this assumption that IUESIA ODIECTS, Bhe says: ‘‘Therois the troaty; youcan call up auy provision that may seem to you prejudicial toyour interesta; but we do not proposo to tako it for granted that every featuro of the treaty must naceélanly be objactionable to Europe. It you have any objectlons to make, yon are at liberty to do 50, but we cannot admit that it is impossible for us to make any ar- rangement whatover which does not require the conssnt of the otber Powers. That would bs equivalent to placing ourselves nnder the tutelagodof the rest of Europe.” It will bo seen that Russia objects to England's proposition, not bocause of any real difference that it will give to the debate in the Congress, but because it is ap- parently intended to humiliate her. Asin. vitations to assemble Apni 2 are daily ex- pected from Germany, only a fow days will be necessary to determine whether the Con- gress will meet. THE NEGOTIATIONS, AN ALLIANCE REFUSED. Loxpox, March 23.~Festh papers report that Count Andrassy on Weduesday delinitely re- fused an alliznce with Englaud, and that Bir i1, @. Elliott thereupon declared that Eugland would not enter the Congresa. A special from Pesth says the people thero are conviuced that & Russo-Austrion alitsncs Lus been formed. TNR CONGRESS, ‘The Adrertiser anuounces, in official form, that Qen, Bir Arpold Kembuall will accompany Lord Lyous to the Cougress. THR TARATY, Lowpox, March 23-5 s m.—Tho Offclal Journalde 5t Patersburg publishies tho full text of the treaty, which fully contirms the correcte ness of the versions previoudly cabled. The Zimes, comnenting on the text of the treaty, says there is much to criticise and resiat, but nothing absolutely buyond the pale of dis- cusslon. T0NORNS ENOLAND, A YVienua correapoudent ways, although Rus- ala seoms to bave explicitlyadmitted to some of, the Fowers, aud especlally to Austris, that Congress biad thu power to dlscuvs what polnts of tho treaty were of European luteress, fu cou- scquence of the Irritatlon cogendered durivg the discusslon, Russia Las not yet givea a siml- lar assurauce to. England. WANTS A DEFIMITE ANSWRS. A telegram to the Pulitical Corraspondence de- clares that Kogiaud bas asked Rusais for s defloite answor, which would show that the differeuce has become acute, but an impression is prevatent in Vienna that Russia will give the required assurances wheu the treaty is formally delivered in London, probably v Suturday, NOT TO DB ENTEGTAINED. Loxpox, March 3l,—A correspondent at Vi- cuns says ho koows thoidea of an Asglo- Austrian allfanco was receutly summarily dis- carded by the higbest authority in the State. DERUY KEMABKS, Loxpox, March 2:—5 a. w.—Ia the Mouse of Lords to-night, Earl Derby, replylog to s long aud discursive specch of Lord Stratheden on the Fastern affair, said for obvious reasons the fleet should not be sent into the Bldck Bea attho oresent moment. He protested against the repetition of unfounded statements relative to dissensions fn the Cabinet. The Government hod not asked that Grecee should enter the Congress on the same fooling as tho Great Powers, but simply that she should be repfe- scnted 48 a means of making her voice and clalms heard. The Government had never proposed that Russis shiould submit the peace conditions to declsfons by the mafority of the Congress. They asked that all of the articles should be submitted for discuasion, and discussion only. that belug the only posstble manner of declding which of them affected Europesn interests. This waa the sole question now at fssue. He was not prepared to-say what answer Russia would give, but he thought the demand of the Uovernment wan reasanable and moderat®, and, unless it was complied with, there would ho very littlo use for the Congresa to meet ‘st oll. INCIDENTAL. HUASIA'S PORETHOUGNT. . L.oxpox, March 21.—According to the treat: of Ban Btefano, the evacuation of European Turkey, excopt Bulgaria, must be completed three mouths after the deflnitive peace, and a portion of the Russiah troops may embark on the Black Sca and Seo of Marmors.

Jones, of Florid, and Morgan, of Alsbama, arraigned the Secretary of tho Interior for his enforcement of the law to preveut depredations upoy timber Jands, while Benator Matthews was thoBecretary's defender. The speeches of Morgan and Jones contained nottng new. They mantiested a remarkably fatolprant spirit toward the Sccretary of the In- terior, Senator Matthews' speech was full of strong polnts, and pus the actlons of the Becre- tary in s0 clear a light that it 1s JifMcult to sec - JIOW IT CAN BE PAIILY ASSAILED. Matthews showed the fnconsistency of several Senators who are attacking the Secretarv for preventiog the destruction of foiests by show- ing thht some of these same Scuators have been suxious to have a bill introduced to send o Forestry Commission to Europe. possibly to the very Germany from which Schurz came. Matthews thought the maaly thing for Con- gress to do would be to pass a bill making it legal for settlers to do that which the law now forbids them dolug. e sharply turned the tables upon the Southern Democrats who sra denouncing the Adminlstration for having pro- ceeded under State laws to PUNISH THESE TIMBER THIZVES, asking them to explain why the Uunited States Governtuent ajone should be ontlawed in these States. To the charge that Beeretary Schurz wap acting under un obsolete Jaw, and that tho Government bad forfelted its right to prosccute on the ground of noo-user, Matthews showed that every Secretary of the Interior Lins prose. cuted such cases, and that an sppropriation for that purpuse has been made for many years. Becretary Schurz, he sald, fs-attacked not be- cause he is lax.and disrezards public fntercsts, bt because he executes tha:law. Turnjug to the Montans question, Mr. Mat- .thews said that & ynst smount of synipathy was wasted upon unknown suffercrs.” ‘Ihe public hiad been {nduced to think that a grest Govern- ment bad taken the sticks from beneath the crackliug pot of the poor indeed, when in truth 1t Is preventing saw-mill speculutors from ROUBING THE PULLIC DOSMAIN, In proof of this, Matthews read a letter dated March 2, at Helena, Mun., which stated that the only persons {ujured by the action of the Goy- ernment wers Jarge su-mill speculutorss thet cordwood was as cheap as it ever had been, snd that the smaller dealers had {n fact been benes tited, ‘The writer of the letter was William anker of lmportance fn the Territory.

Of this proposition Becretary Fish says: I will not efther sceept or decline ontll I have an opportunity of cun- fersing with the President. It Is o very upusual Emponluon. ‘The Hague is within & few houra y post of London, and some twelve to sixteen dara from here, and it we should resort to the telearaph {t would bo very expensive and all pass through and be read “In the British Post- Office.
