[By Cableto The Chicago Tridbune.l Loxpoy, March 28—6 a. m.—No hope of tho moeeting of the Congress ia now loft, and thero scems to be no means of ostimating what will be the outcome from tho present diplomatic muddle. Gen. Ignatiefli's vimt to Vienna shows the evidont intontion of Russia to conciliate Austris, but it is questionable whether TUNCARY . can be induced to recognize the treaty of Ban 8tefano until important alterations have been made in ita provisions. Your Vienna correspondent states that Ignatieff has failed to sccure Count Andrassy's cousont to the plan proposed by Russis, and that thore are Tumors thero that . ANDHASSY I3 ABOUT TO YIZLD to Hungarian influence, and openly oppose Russia. Rumors, however, are numnborless, not only in Viennn, but in overy other great oapital, nnd {t is impossible to obtain any certain information as to what will be the next direction which affairs will take, It is cortain that * ENOLARD AND RUSSIA " have now ronched tho most critical part of their intorcourse, aud there is moro proba. bility of war than peace. Rusaln is making every effort to isolate England from the other Powers, and, if she can obtain the neutral. ity of Austria and Hungary, it fa not likoly that England can get any othor ally, XVEX TURKLY is likely to bo mors favorable toward Russin than towards England, and the Grand Duke Nicholas is paying fraquent visits to the Sul. tan. As soon as Gen, Ignatie® arrives in Coustantinople direct negotiations for a be. nevolent neutrality, if not an actual alliance, will begin, . OF COURSE, THIS I8 NOT TOX YIRST TIME that Ruasia snd England have been nearly involved in war, and, as heretofore, a peace- ful solution of the difficultios may yet be found. But the present crists is decidedly worpq than any of its predecessors, and it is quite probable that bath nations may find war loss igtolorable than continual uncer. tainty and adam, THE DISPUTANTS. RU4MIA'S REPLY, Loxpox, March 27.—Hussia's answer to En- gland's lato question merely says that the Goy- ernment sdheres Lo fts fornier views, Thisgocs not sound very promising, but itis still thought bere that the reply will not close all Interchange of opiulon, THE LONDON * TINEs' " vIRWS. Loxnpox, March 87.—~The Times says!” “To surrender the hope of the Congress is to aban- don tho Eastern question to the drifts and cur- rents of scparate jealousfes and excitements, and to throw away the only means of submit- ting it to qulet considerstion, To sacrifice sub- stantial orinciples, evon for the sake of svoiding such s danger, would be too abject. The ob- ject of all the Governments, that of Russia tn- cluded, should be to promote the mecting of the Congress by all means which donot obvious- 1y and necessarily involve such sacrifice,” BISMARCK'S OROGAN, The utterances from Beriln on the Eastern question this ornlng—the first semt-official expression of opinlon since the hitehin the Congress project—are entirely different (rom the assertions hitherto made by special cor- respondents. The Berlin Post, which prints pothiog political without a purpose, and which 1s one of Prince Bismarck's orgens, says: “The fatlure of the Congress would probably result in Huss!a and England remaining at pesce, but srmiog for war. These prolonged srmaments England can infnitely better afford than Russls, -who would be reduced to exhaustion wers sho obliged 1o mantain bor armles on 8 war footing for some years, sy Russis cahuob attack England, while Eogland is perlectly in s position to bide her time. The Caar will probably be driven to extend bis conquests io the Interval, the better 10 be prepared for the collislon when it does oc cur, but, o such case, Austris snd Groeeco will join England to protect thelr own fotereats. As 10 Germany, she will never 8ght for Russian or any other foreign Interests. Ruasla, thercfore, bad better restrain her ambition.” IMPROVED, ‘The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian en, The situation, so far as re- ards the meating of the Congress, is much im- proved by assurances that Lord Derby has re- celved from Count Schouvalofl during the past few bhours. Count Bchouvaloff kept Rus- sia's negative to England's demand re- garding the eubmission of the treaty to the Congress In his pocket, baving learned that the consequences of such & response would be serfous, and did not deliver it until he ot authority to give Lord Derby certaln assurances and explaoations. TILE CONGRESS ABANDONED. A Berlin dispatch says: * The Powers have dealined o suggestion made by Rusala that the Congress be beld without England. Princo Gortschakofl Is endeavoriog to bring about a meeting of the three Emperors and the thres Chancellors. Rusy understood to bave in- dicated her witlingness to make further conces- slons to Austris, aud some concessions to Rous manla, oeing prompted, It Is thought, by apore- hensions of differences with England. Germany has, under the circumatances, abandoned for the vresent all des of fssuing invitations for the Congress.” BISMARCR'S RPFORTS, Benrix, March 27.—-1he Tagblatt says Prince Bismarck’s latest attempt at medistion between Engiand and Russia bas thus far been unsuce ccssful. This proposal was that Russia should indicate beforehand the points in the tresty which she agrees should be discussed at the Congress. Russis bas not yet replied to this proposal. uppn Loxpox, March 28—5 3. m.—A dispateh from Bt. Petersburg says tho dead lock continues. 1t 18 stated that Russia {s quito ready to make considerable modificatfons it it can be shown that they are for the general good, and that the Powers wiil enter the Congress with the dosire of arriving at a durable settlement, and not slmply to undo what has been done. It is be- Hoved, however, that tho English Government {8 animated by a very different aplrit, ¥ GIVES IT UP. Tho Times in a loauing editorial says: *The hope that the Congress will mect has almost vanished. The disagreement between our Gov- eroment and that of Russiascems insuperable.” BIGNIFICANT. Spectal Dispatch (o Tha Tribuna. Nxw Yorg, March 27.—The Journal de St. Pe- fersturg, whichis tho recognized organ of Prince Gortschakofl, tho Rasslan Chancellor, published on Bunday o remarkable resume of the Euro- pean situation, which was written entircly by Baron Jomlal, the Chancellor’s Becretary. The tone of the article s very decided, und it con- cludes with the following significant words: “Tho time has arrived when the question should be defnitely settled with tho concurrance of Contincatal Europe, if it wishes {t; without con- currence if nocessary.'t GORTSCHAKOFP'S REPLY, Loxpoy, March 28~5 a. m.—The Daily Tele- graph this morning says: ‘On Tuesday night her Majesty's Government received the roply of Prioce Gortschakoff. The Cabinet assembled yesterday to conslder {t. As our Paris corre- spondent states tho reply is to thacoffect that Princo GortachakofI fully understand the wish of England to take up (soulever) the conditions and genceral purport of tho provisional treaty; but, {from a Russian polnt of vicw, ho must maintal the exercise of a veto upon tha discussion of thoso terms which aro coneldercd at 8t.

AUSTRIA, " GEN, IGNATIEPY'S MISSION, Loxpox, March 37.—The London 7¥mes* cor- respondeat at Vienoa says: Gen. Ignaticfl’s purposes are unknown, but probably, as the person most familiar with the treaty of San Btefano, ho comes to cxplain Ita scope, and show how it can bo modified n the Intereat of Austria. But the Austrian Goverument is per- fectly capable of judging these matters for ftaclf, Gen. Igoatiefl s not more likely to succced on tbis than on the two former mls- slons," TR PRESS. Vizxxa, March 27.—To-day's newspapers consider that the Congress has falled, and that Austria must now look to the protectlon of her own fioterests, Tho Aew Fyee Press, Liberal, antl-Russtan and Blsmarckian, says that Gen. Ignatief's purpose {s to isolate England. The Deutsche Zeltung, & etrong German and ants Nungarian, thinks Austela will gain by an Anglo-Russtan war, becauso Russia must puy o high pricé for Austria's neutral’ty, ‘The Tagespresse regards ignatiefl's misslon as astriking tribute to the corrcctness of Count Andrassy’s policy of always consulting Austro- Hungarian intercst. ‘Iha Fremdenblatt hopes that Igmatioff will succced in effecting an errangement with the CGovernment. it says:. *The time has now ar- rived when Austria should think of protecting g futerests by precautionary measures beyond her own frontiers.’” This remark of tho Frem- denblatt means auncxation of Dosnla, Herzego- vina, Northern Albania, aud a portion of Mace- doota. Seml-official papers are silent, PREDICTION, Loxpox, March 27.—A Vicnna correspondent telegrapba: **Whether Gen.

Wasmxoton, D. C., March 27.—Mr, Wal- bridge Fie!d has probably lost his scat as the Repubifcan Representative from tho Third Dis. trics of Maseachusatts by one vote. Thero Is still a bare possibility that when tho final vote is taken to-morrow, at the last parllamentary stage, Mr. Fleld may receiva the single vote necessary to permit him to retaln his seat, That 18 his Iast remafnlug desperato chance. The probabilities ars all sguinst him, The Decmocrats undoabtedly will resort to every expedient to-night ‘o force thosc within thelr party who had honor and manliness enough to stand by thelr convictions, and who voted for Mr. Ficld, to reconsider theic nctlon. To call things by plain names, the Democrate who voted for Mr. Field will to-night be subjected to tho most rigorous system of bulidozing. The contest which terminated to- day in this singular result was s pacticularly exciting one. TNERE WAS INTENSE INTEREST MANIPRSTED asthe count proceeded. The votes ran very nearly cven. Sometimes they wero tied, until st last it seemed as if the vote sctually would bo tied, when Springer, who had charge of the bill, was noxlous to chango his vote to aye that he might move to reconsider, He, however, learned, evidently from the Spcaker's desk, that the Bpeaker would exerclso his right to vote, whercupun tho vote was aunounced as 120 for Mr. Fleld and 119 for Mr. Dean. The 8peaker voling mo, tho vote was tled at 120, and the amendment, for that was the naturc of the proposition, feill. Gen. Denjamin F. Butler CARRIED XO REPUDLICAR WITH It Chapman Freemsn, Republican from Pennsyl. vnofa, was sick at home in Phfladelphla with- out a pair. The lol}owlnz Democrats voted for Mr. Fleld, or wero palred for him: Cutler of New Jerscy, Hartridge of Georgia, Herbert of Alsbama, James Taylor Jones of Alabama, Clarkson N. Potter of New York, Davld Rea of Missourl, 8tenger of Pennsylvania, Wolsh of Maryland, Willlams of Delaware. Tho par- Hawentary ‘situation fs this: The Elcctlons Comuittco submitted a majority report declariog Dean entitled to his sea:. The minority submitted thelr report declarlng Fleld entitled to his seat, The minority report was prescuted as an amendment to the resolu- tion of the majority, which was voted upon as an amendment, WAS REJECTED, . AND thoe vote having been tied. The question comncs up to-morrow as unfunished husiness, upon the motion, ** Will the House adoot the masjority report, and declare aflirmatively that Mr. Dean is entitled to his seat?” Upon that vote tho chances of Mr. Field depend, II Mr, Freeman can comne from Philadelphia, and 1f the Demo-_ crata who voted for him to-day will re- maln firm tomorrow, - he may retain his scat; but the chancos are ngalnst htm. 10 tho vote of to-day is unchanged atle keeps Field in his seat, and §f Mr. Field loses his seat the Republicans of the Third Cmtfi\rcnlflnnl District may kuow that the defeat of Mr, Field will be due to TIIB SINGLE YOTE OF NENJAMIN F.

AN UNEXPECTED EXPLOSION occurred when the delegation reached the Capi- tol on its return. Before leaving the President they called his attention to the fact that cx- Representative Cobb, forwerly from Wisconslo, now of Nobraska, was candidate for the position of Register of the Treasury, . As they all knew him, and had confidenca in him, and could vouch for lils ability, they took :he lberty of suggesting his appointment. They report tho President as entering {nto the matter with earncstness, and responding fully to all that was sald fn commendation of his abllity sud fltuess. In fact, the delegation, on loaving, felt themeclvea justitiod Tn belioving that Cobb would b appolnted. Upon reachi: the Capitol, thoy found that the nomination ol Schofield had preceded them, and had actually been communicated to the Ssnate. ‘They subso- quently ascertained that tho sclectlon had been made aud the place offered to Schofleld the day before their visit; and, beginolng the day by denouncing 1 lpeccfi ta the President, thloly cenaed it by denounclog the President him- sell. e ANOTHER CASE, To the Weatern Asocialéd Pros.
