English nowspapers en. deavor to draw from it tho conclusion that Russia is rendy to negotiate further for a modification of her terms, but there is ab. solutely mothing in the dispatch itself to warrant the oonclusion. It is simply an answer to Lord Silesbury's criticism, and Prince Gortschakoff has carefully followed Lord Balisbury's uxnmih in BEFMAINING YROM mmo ANY SUGGRSTION by which an nndumlnmflng may bo renched. Consequently, thore is no change in the general attitudo of suspenso, and it I8 not impoasible that this state of expoctancy may be prolongod two or three weeks, though, on tho other hand, it might end to-morrow, GORTSECHAKOFFS REPLY. CONCILIATORY. Loxpox, April 9.—The Times {ssued a special editlon to-night contalning the full text of Prince Gortachakofl's reply to Lord Sallsbury's circular dispatch. The Princo contests Lord Sallsburr’s ertions polnt by polnt, but the Reneral tone of his reply appesrs to be con- cillatory, He denics that tho treaty of+ Ban Btefano creates o strong Belay Stato under tho control of Russia, and declarcs that tho arrange- menta relative to Butgaria are only a devcloo- ment of principle established by the Constauts- nople Conference. He continuea: “Lord Sallsbury admits that a return to the programme of that Conference, pure and simple, is rendered impossiblo by the war, The face that tho Ban Stefano treaty is preliminary, indlcates that Russia 1148 NOT PRRJUDGED DXFINITIVE RUAULTS, and has left room for an ulterior understand- ing. Bulgaria will bo under Russiun control no more than Ronmanla, which also owes its ex- istence to Russla. Russia Is quity readyto abridge the term of occupation of Bulgaria as much as possible, Tho Jimits of Bulgaris havo only been {ndicated in ‘general terms, fu accord- ance with the nationality of the population. ‘The details will be left to a mixcd commisslon, “The ouly object lu assigning porta to Bul- garls la to assist her commercial devolopment, by which England and the Mediterranoan [Pow- ers, whose commerce has always been 8 power- tul lever for thelr palitical influence, are hikelyto PROPIT FAR MORH THAN RUSSIA' Princo Gortschiokofl expresses surprise at llw mpulnuomu( the treaty relative to Th and Epirus. By the modest reforms -tlwlntcd for, It s inteuded to avold the sppearance of cither establishing Russian supremacy on tho one hand or utterly neglecting the Greeks on the other. Russia did not furbid the Porte to consult the Europoan Powers ns well as Russia on the reforms for tho Greek provinces. BESIARAUIA. ‘There is no longer any pretext for debarring Russla from possvssion of Hessarabis, as the freedom of tho Danube is securod by an inter- natfonsl commission. X Prince Uortschakofl’s tone In rogard to Ar- menia is much moreenergetic, Hosays Batoum is far from belng ecquivalent to the pecunlary lndemuity which It represents. Tho Russian scquitions in Armenia have ONLY 4 DEFENSIVE VALUE. Russia wishes to kold thom so s not ta havo to besicge them at tha begwnning of each war, Theso territorial cessions are the natural conse- quence of the war, If Englaud wishied to ar- rest thew, sho had ouly to join Russia fo exer- cising pressure upon the Porte, which would probably have compelled It to graut the reforms witbout war. England baving refuscd to do so, she : TAS NOW XO GLOUXD z to question the right for which Russia has shed her blood, namely, the right to estadlish a state of thiogs which will beuceforth render such sacrifices ubnecessary, or st lesat less oncrous. Tho sssertlon that Russia’s suoexatlons In Armenia will fnterfers with European trade with Persia conflicts with the statowents pre- viously made by British Ministers. Such ssscr- tions push mistrust to the extreme. The com- plaints coucerning jndemnity aro equally ill- founded. ‘The sum is out of all proportion to Russia’s sacrifices. In the deferment of the psyment of the indemnity it is casiertoseon design to keop the Porte up 1o its engagemeats in the interest of ali than a design to paralyze ‘Turkey; but there is X0 BEMADY AGAINST SUSPICION. Princs Gortachakoff says i concluslon: “Tha situation may be summed up thns: Fx- isting treatics have been successively Infringed by the Porte in violating Its obligations towards the Christians, and hy the Powers in interfer- Ing on behalf of the Christians, Lord Salls- bury himself recognizes that great changes aro nccessary in tho treaties bitherto regulsting tho fast. . It remalns for Lord Sallsbury to say how he would reconcile thesa treatiea and the recognized rights of Great Britain and other Powers with the benevolent ends to which tho unfted actlon of Europe has always been directed, and the attainment of which one learns with pleasura the English Government desires, namely, good governmenty peace, and Jiberty for the oo presscd populations. It Is equally for tho Marquis of Sulisbury to say how Lo couid at- taln the desfred end outaide the preliminarics of the trcuty of 8an Btefano, and yet at the pamu TIME TAKE DUR ACCOUNT OF THX RIGHTS RUSSIA A8 ACQUIRED Ly the sacrinicea she has borne alonc. “ Lord Balisbury's dispatch containg no reply to Lhese questions. )t seems that entire liberty of appreciation and sction would have been more naturally found by formulating side by side with the objcctions contained In that dis- vatch sotne practical propositions of a nature to assure an undsrstandiug for the solutlon of the present difficulties.” TIMES COMMENTS, Loxpox, April 105 a. m.~The Times' lead- ingr editorfal says Prince GortschakoMs reply shows o genulue desire to losure & peaccable solutfon. . COMMENT. WIIAT I3 THOUGHT OF GOKTSCIAROFF'S NOTE. Bpectal Ditpatch to The Tribune. Naw York, April 10—4 a. m.—A special from London says: “The renly of Prince Gortscha- kofl to Lord Balisbury's circular reached London last ovening. It consists of twelvo paragraphs, categorically answering the objections to the treaty of San B8tefauo raised by En< gland. Paragraph 10 was strangely omitted in tho vorslon published by the Zimes in {ts ex- tra edition Jast night. The tone of tho whole dispatch of the Russian Chanccllor ts remarke- Dle for calmness, The concessions that are of- fered regarding the boundarics of the new State APPEAR CONCILIATORY, bug it should bo remembered that the lnes drawn in the treaty bave never been deflnite. The frankness with which Prince Gortschakoft relterates Russia’s flrm determination not to surrender the results of the war, merits alt vraise from impartial meo, Some coples of the Timee containlog the dlapatch reached the House of Commons during the de- bato on the Queen's address, and the effect was 10 Immediately cause a more peaceable feellng, The hovo expressed that England will no long- er refuse to recognize the existenceof a new order of things in Turkey scemed to give many statesmed matter forcontemplation. Although the tone of the dispatch is firm, NO YIELDING PROM THE FORMER ATTITUDN assumed by Rusela 18 to be obscrved. The reply depreciates the linportance of England's demands, giving plausible reasons for the pro- posed changes in the Ottoman Empire, Taken as a whole, the argument is fairly made, In high Russion officlal circles {n London the opinfon prevalls that the document does not deal fully and peremptorily enough with the great questions at fssue. It is asserted that, howerver mild and explanatory Princo Qorts- chakofl's remy may be, it {s IMPOSSIBLE YOR RUAMA TO TEAR TP THR TREATY of 8an Stefano. Again it is ssserted that, al- though o slight rectification ‘of the limits of Bulgaria may be agreed to, the formation of a new Bulgarla south of the Balkans, o a monner simllar to that of the creation of the Moldo-Wallachian Prinei- , palities in 1830, has been positively determined on by Russia, Russla cannot sllow the re- sult galncd by blood to bo lost, and nothing further than a slight rectitication of the Bulga- rian lines will bo conceded. The determinstion a8 expresscd, looks very much llke an ultima- tum. It Engiand desires war, RUASIA WILL NOT HEPUSE TO MEET noRi the field, and will rely on the gallantry and patriotlsm of her valiaut soldiery to vindicato her Lonor and dignity., The army that has reached Constautinople after heroic sacrifices will maintain the honor of Russia against all cuemies. All rumors that have provailed here, during the past few days, of Russin’s ylolding, aro unfounded. . MUSSIA CANNOT AND WILL NOT TIELD," A 8t. Petersburz correspondent tolegraphs that negotiations liave been berun with En- gland for the purposc of enabling both coun- tries to back down from thelr pres- cnt antagonistic positiops. 1t is sug- gested that Ruasta shall quit San Stefano, and the : E£nglish fleer retiry from the Dardanclles, thus eusbling cach natfon to shaw ddesire for concillatfou. We are not told whether tho Russluus proposo to retire. They will certaloly not leave Bulgarfa until all matters relating to that portion of the disputed tersitory are sottled to thefr cutiro satisfaction. RUSSIA, WIIAT I8 DEstuzs. 87, PETERSBURG, ADril 0.—The Journal de St. DPetersbury says Russia demands that the beno- ta obtatued for the Christiana shall not be sc- curcd by Incflicaclous stipulations like those of 1854, but by material guarantces. Russin can- not sccept an ephemeral deelsion of a Congress, because it would not assure peace. It Europo bo disposed to undertake tho sottlement of the Eastern question o the scosc of emoncipating the Christians Ruasla will not raise any difficuitics, but the discussion of questions at {ssuo must bo luspired by con. tldence, not by jealousy.

Loxpoy, Aprl 9.—In the House of Com- wons to-night tho debate on the address to the Queen 1o roply to ber recent message was con- tinued. Hir Wilfred Lawsop, on benalf of the Radicals, moved sn amendmcnt, of which ho had previously given notice, contesting the ve- cesaity of calling out the reserves, ‘I'he amend- ment was rejected—310 Lo 84, ‘The Marquis of Hartington, W. E. Forater, and many other Liberals abstained from voting. Giadstone and Bright supported tho amend- ment. ‘The smendment proposed by Bir George Campbell, praying her Msjesty to accept the preliminary conference suggested by Germany, and abstaln from Isolated actlon while declaring that Englaud is ready to support other Powers against the spolistion of Roumania, was with. drawn, Tha addross was then agreed to without divls. ton, . INCIDENTA OF TUR DERATE. Loxpox, Aprit 105 2. m.~Tho dehsts pre. eeding the vote on tho address I the House of Commons was long but unimportant. The speakers in opposition to the address were principally Radlcals, such as Joseph Cham- berlaln, Henry Richard, aud Jacob Bright. The Marquis of Hartington urgently arpealed to Bir Wilfred Lawson to withdraw lis amend- ment as l1l-timed and unnccessary, fle sald it was undesirable to muitiply appearances of dit- ferency at the present moment. He would have had no hesitation In supporting the amend- ment It he belleved the calling out of the re- scrves would commit the country to immediato war, Hir Stafford Northcote replicd In & miderate speech, strongly denying that the Government deaired war, although if the necessity arose bo suid they would not shirink from.thelr duty. 8ir Wilfred Lawson rcfused to withdraw his amcndment, notwithstanding Lord Hartington’s appesl, ROUMANIA.

Loxpox, April 10—5 a. m.—A telegram from Bucbarest says the report{s confirmed that Prince Ghika has been authorized to inform Prince Gortachakoff that the Roumanian army would suffer ftsolf (o be crushed rather tban be disarmed.

At last, after & strugaie lsstiog for years, In which the effort to impose on the great Pacific Rallroad combinations conditions which would secure the Government's interests and the Intercats of their creditors wes con- stantly batlied, o bill has passced the Benato which promises to effect that object.

Benstors did not scruple to ba seen conferring with Gould and Huntlogton in the corridors before acting thelr part on the floor of the Beuate, ana so omnlipresent and pervading was the lobby influenco at that end of the Capitol that nothing scemed to bo want- ing to comolete the impropriety oxcopt tho actual passing of money from client to advo- cate, closed it, or would have dono so if Blaino had not, in violation of the courtesy of debate In the Scnate, .taken tho floor and made anothier apeech, delivered in his most hrilliant and confident manner, as {f assurcd that Lls amendment was to be adopted, and ho wos to wear the hogors of the day. ‘Voorhee's speech was the apology of & dema- gogue who apparently had been convinced that the rallroads were golug towin. Matthews' blll and Chiaffee's beinz withdrawn from considera- tion, the fight was waged over TNB BLAINE AMBNDMENT, and during tho whole afternoon it seemed lkely to be adopted. ‘Fhurman's determined attack nvon it, as the most complete surrender of the public Interests to tho greed of the ratlroad companies that any man bad ever been bold enough to propose In cither House ot Congress, and worse {1 ita effoct than the loss of all tho money owoed by the roads to the Uovernment, made the weaker members hesitate to sanction it It was defested by an un- expected majority, Blaine, who had so strongly committed himself to the Judiclary Committec's bill, provided the Government would allow its hands to be tied, now voted against it “*on principle’’; and Voorhees, who had declared that the bill was odlous ond intol- erable without tho Blaine sttachment, when ho saw that 1t was to pass made haste to get counted In with tho majority, That IT WILL PASS THE LOUSR there can bo no doubt; indced, to-day the House Committec on.Pacific Rallroads unani- mously agreed to report a bill which is a copy of Thurman's. The great campaign of Gould and Huntington on this sinking-fund measure in Washington has ended disastrousty. TON CLOSING DEDATE. The foilowing {s an account of the closing de bate In detail: Scnator Edmunds was the most notable fea. ture of the day session. Ie displayed rolent- leas encrzy in exposing the possible results of Jay Gould's schemes. Ilis argument was one of great clearncss, force, snd brilllancy, al- though evidently made under circumstances of physlcat weakoess. There wero some striking passoges between him and Blaine, to whom Fdmunds referred in terms of scathing com- ment. Edmunds denounced the Blaine amend- mcnt as something entirely origiual and unique, saylog that nover beforo in the history of tue Awmerican Congress had 1t becn pro- posed to tie tho bauds of the wsoy- creign power of the natlon with respect 10 an admiuistrative power and trust. He sald that, {f thls smendinent should be adopted, the United States would be powerless for twenty- two years, no matter what mizht happen, to take any actlon for the protection of thae cred- itors of thess great railroad corporations; that tho original act of 1863 provided that no one should kiold more than 200 shares of stock, but that tho actof 1864 yemoved this restriction. ‘Tho original act of 1563 coutained ths pro- vislon thut the companies should oo cept It befors it bocamo & law, but no other loglslation had contained a similar vrovision. This showed that this proposition of Blaino was tho first sinco tho original act to coutath such a provision, and that all previons legislation was by virtuc of the soverelzn su- thority of the natiou, aud did oot Umit its fu- ture action, In speakingof the ways {nwhich this smendment might work {ojuriously, Edmunds said (t was naw currently reported that the ma- Jority of the stock uf the Union Pacific Road Is held by ous person, MBANING JAT GOULD, a geotleman whom ho (Edmuuds) hsd long known, who Lad the most cxtrsordluary ad- ministrative and fiuaucial abilities, and who ho belleved had been pyinted s good deal blacker than he was. But be was & privats person, and quite at liberty to unload all his stock to-more yow, and to throw the rallroad tuto the posscs- sion of thesbarks of Wall street or into tho hands of forelguers; fo which case it might fall into the condition of the Erie Road, when overy guarantee and security of rights of creditors ¥dmunds opened the debate, and Tnnmun ¥
