A despatch from Vienna to tho Zimes explains that difeulty has arisen because tho Porte, before granting a prolongation of the armistice, desires the Powers to sive their opinion in regard to its peace propositions. ‘THE POWERS, on the other hand, persist 1n demanding the conces- sion of the armistice irrespective of this condition, because asthey have from the commencement insisted that an armistice was indispensable they consider it would be derogatory to admit any sort of compromise on the subject. The Powers also intend this attitude as a concession to Russia, she having throughout the negotiations de- terminedly supported an unconditional armistice, GREAT ANXIETY. As the term for which the present suspension of hostilities nas been granted draws to. a close the de- mands of the Powers become more pressing, some of them having tolerably plainly intimated that the Porte’s re‘usal to grant the armistice would load to a Suspension of their diplomatic relations, RUSSIAN POLICY, OR A DECIDED CHECK. ‘The Times’ Berlin despatch says:—‘It is expected that to gain time for negotiations Russia will stop the despatch of soldiers to Servia, when Turkey will no onger object to grant a prolonged armistice.

THE INDIAN LOSS IN CROOK’S FIGHT Graphic Description of the Battle on the Little Big Horn, ny \ Bismanck, D. T., Sept. 23, 1876, A Standing Rock letter of the 20th gives the follow- ing, of intense interest, in relation to Custer’s battle, Kill Eagle, of whose surrender at this station, last Friday, you have already been informed, has given quite a lengthy account of the operation of Sitting Bull's forces the past season. KILL EAGLE'S BTORY, He commensges with the date at which ho left this agency, last spring, with twenty-six lodges, for the purpose of hunting budlalo and trading with the hostile Indians. He speaks of ‘having heard reports that troops were going out to punish the hostiles, but thought be would have time to‘do his hunting and trading and get out of the way before a battle occurred. They were obliged to hunt, as thoy were starving at the agency, and from his account they were very su #ful, killing twenty and thirty buffalo some days, and in one herd they Killed all but two He detaila the progress and incidents of each march. AT SITTING BULL'S CAMP. On the seventh day they arrived at Sitting Bull’s viilago, where a feast and numerous presents of ponies and robes were given them. Efforts were made to in- duce Kill Eagle and his band to join tn the contem- Plated movements and hostilities, but evidently with- out much succesa They wore desirous of getting back again to the protecting arma of their agency, but were unable to eseape from the mesbes of tho wily Sitting Bull. They found, too late, that for them there was no escape; their horses were either shot or stolen, and wounds and insults wero showered upon them from every side. In tho meantime the forces of Crook were approaching, and with his people Kill Engle succeeded in escaping temporarily trom the hos- tiles. Ho claims to have beon distant some forty or Ofty miles trom the scene of THR RosR BUD FIGHT, and relates many of the details and incidents which ho was able subsequently to gather from the partici- pants. He places the loss of tho Indians in the Roso Bud fight at four dead, left on tho fold, and twelve that were brought to camp. He places the wounded at as high as 400, and says they had 180 horses killed, besides those that wero captured. He next comes to the fight on the Little Horn, and describos the Indian village, whieh was six miles long and one wide, and the Indians swarmed there as thick as maggots on a carcass, so numerous were they. CUSTER’S FIGHT. Ho then goes on and speaks of Custer’s approach and fight with its tragic details as an unwilling specta- tor rather than a participant, who, during its progress remained quietly in his lodgo in the centre of the In- dian village. The fight with Reno commenced about noon, the Indians all rushing to oppose his advance, until the approach of Custer toward the lower end of the village wes announced, when tho wildest confusion prevailed throughout the eamp, Lodges were strack and preparations made for instant flight, Vast numbers ot Indians left Reno’s front and hastened to the assist- ance of their red brethron engaged with Custer, who was steadily forcea back and surrounded until ali were swept from the field by tho repeated charges of the In- dians as if they had been carried into eternity by the irresistible FORCE OF A HURRICANE. Ho described the Oring at this point as simply terrific, und illustrated {ts force by clapping his hands to- gother with great rapidity and regularity. Then camo a lull in the fearful storm of iron hail and bis hands were still again, The storm beat fastand furious as the thought of some loved one nerved the arm of cach contending trooper, Then the movement of his hands slackened and gradually grew more feeblo. A few scattering shakes, like the rain upon a window pano, and then the movement ceased as tho Inst of Custer’s band of heroes went down with tho setting sun. It was dusk as the successful combatants returned to camp littered with their dead and wounded. It had not been to them a bloodless victory. Fourteen hag fallen in front of Reno, thirtyenine went down with’ Custer were laden with thoir wounded on every hand, and in countless numbers. One band alono of Ogailalas bad twentyeseven wounded on traverses and thirty-eight thrown across horses, Kill Eaglo says it seome as if every one was wounded, and places the number as high as 600. NO WHITE MEN WITH THR INDIANS. He ts very positive, however, that no prisoners wero taken, There were no white men in tbe fight or on tho field. One who had boen with them had gone’ to Spotted Tail Agency. The bugie calls so often spoken of wore sounded by an Indian, He speaks of SITTING BULL as @ heavy, muscular man, with large head and light hair banging to his shoulders, He ts not a white or half breed. He gives the namos of the leading chiels present in the fight, and reports a chief, High Elk, as being killed in front ef Keno, He even goes on to speak of the approach of General Gibbon’s column and the smmediate flight of the Indians and the subsequent fight with Licatenant Sibley’s party, where a chief of the Cheyennes was shot through the head and instantly kilied, His statement is quite lengthy, but I have endea ored to give you such portions as aro of particular tu. terest and have not before been made public THE BALTIMORE FIRE, THE LOSS ESTIMATED AT THREE HUNDRED THOU- SAND DOLLARS—A LIST OF THE SUFFERERS AND THEIR INSURANCE.

Mr. F, Boscovitz played Grieg’s plane concerto im A minor, opus 16, and Messrs. Whitney and Cauffman sang solos, The Northern composers are too few in number, and, asa general rule, too woak {n conception to war- rant them having an evening of concert all to them- solves, Gade’s symphony commences with real Men- delssohnian phrases, moderato con moto, leading into an allegro energico, which 1s admirably scored, and which the orchestra of Thomas gave with fire and spirit, The themes of this part are not particue larly interesting, but the composer seems to have framea them in a very artistic man- ner, A paucity of attractive subjects ts the most disagreeable feature about Scandimaviaa music. The scherzo of the second movement was moro interesting, The wonderful sprightliness of the strings, the pure intonation of the reeds and the graduated power of the brass instraments gave to this movement a dash of fire that redeemed much of its mn- herent weakness, the third movement, andantino prasioto, the sirioga became poctical and tdyiiised the Uuful phrases allotted to them. The finale is and withal ineflective. It as very pro in style, but it fails in its se points of aitack, Mr. Boscovitz had not a grateful task before him in the concerts of Edward Greig. It 15 very spasmodic and disjointed in 1t3 several movements. The composer evidently places more dependetee on the orchestra than on the pianist, as far as the artistic results of the performance of the work are concerned; yet he has imposed: all the greater burden on the pianist to assert individuality and predominance, those qualities eo dear to the soul of every virtuoso. Horein was the success of Mr. Boseovitz The hard task be imposed upon bimself was valorously sustataed. The rich tones of the Ste way grand sprang ferth beneath his skilied Oger adegree of power that not even the of tho orchestra could quell. Mr. Boscovitz does not possess much delicacy or pootry in his mani- pulation of the noble instrument to which he Las do- Voted himself, but he has nervous force and fire that in in passages makes itself felt with unmoasurablo The fairy overture ‘“Alsddin,” for orchestra, by Horneman, 1 eccentric rather than artistic in treat- ment, There are many incongruous phrases in it, and ‘ono Would be puzzled to discover the relation between certain movements. Everything that an orchestra was capable of was done by Thornas’ men im the inter- pretation of this work, yet 11s lack of real power was too platoly shown, ‘The second week of the Centennial Musical Festival will be profific in novelties. To the disgrace of Phila deiphia must it be suid that the majority of tho andiences so far at these magnificent concerts consists of strangere—of Centennial visitors.

Miss Dargon was full of dramatic power, especially in the later scenes of the drama, She was really grand Jn the last act, where the scope for the display of her power as an actress was sufficient to give her vantage ground.

Mr. Sherwin, Postmaster of this city, also gave full Particulars of the detention of the matis by the witn- drawal of the fast tnail trains, and stated that he had no doubt that the revenue of the department from the letter correspondence of Cleveland would be in- creased to such an extent by- the fast maiis as to equal the increased cost of the service, which would properly be assessed upon Cleveland as her share, that the same correspondence and a large por- tion of the newspaper mail that was sent by the fast mat! now goes by express and pays postage in addition to the express charges, MIDNIGHT WE: THER REPORT.

Vanderbilt, who re: turned from Philadelphia in the afternoon, Toward evening, however, the Commodore was evidently much weaker, and’ there scoms little doubt that the end is drawing nigh, At the sume time his physicians are hopeful, and tho fact that his son went home about ten o'clock points to the conclusion that no immediate danger is apprehended.
