! The naostexplicit and positive .ulsnrs,a IL,
| concerning the relations between Turkey and
kussia, is contained in the folowing editorial
article Of the London Courier Of the s6th
March, IN oar possession.
In all negotiations, the chances will ALWAYS

| as strongly for peace as they will at anoihe,
Tor war. Hence the contradictory reports that
prevail Tor the secret of no negotiation can
lie perfectly preserved and hence, he who
last week might be justified in expecting wai
/ may, from sudden turn i'm the discussions
be equally justified this week in expecting
peace.
inin0 negotiation has there been so much
uncertainty, SD much delay, SD many contra
dictOry rtimOurs, as during the negotiation be-
tween Russia and Turkey. Affairs however,
nave reached that point when all uncertainty

Two Powers have been earnestly epdea-
voring TO produce an aniicable adinstment--
Austria and Great Britain. And whilst we give
all possible credit to the zeal and talents OF the
Austrian Minister, we must be permitted TO
say that Lord Strangford has largely added TO
his own reputation, whilst he has acquired for
ms country an additional claim to the graft
tude Oh mankind. 1t is due also, to the cha
racter Oh the Emperor Alexander, to say, that
from the beginning he has been anxious 10 To- nre.

to consummate the ambitious views ofCatbe-

u. s. BANK STOCKS

The extraordinary depression of the stock
of the Bank of the us. has surprised most
persons, and puzzled many.-No one dreamt
of its coming down to 98; though very
small quantity has probably been sold at that
price. The depression has been coming ON
gradually a sensation has been for some
weeks felt throughout the continent owing To
the high rate OF exchange and the large ex-
port ofspecie though for a week or two, the
stock has fallen with an accelerated and aston
IshlnS velocity. 1t is owing principally to the
export ofspecie, and partially perhaps to an
over-purchase in u. 5. Bank stOck.--Snme
also ascribe tin part to the establishment of
some new banks in Boston. The fact, how
ever, is that there has been great demand
for money In N. York, and perhaps elsewhere
and that large portions Of the u. S. Bank
stocks have been sold to obtain it. This state
of things cannot long continue-mouey is We
ny abundant in London, as the proposition to
loan bank paper at 4 per cent, is sufficient
evidence, and from England,if in no other way
we may obtain a considerable supply. Bank
stock will rise again and perhaps SOON
though we have Do idea il will mount quite as
high as 90 per cent. as the n. Intelligencer
throws out. The devidends will not proba-
bly, support so high price. We give few
extracts from other papers on the effects and
causes of this great depression

Major General w. ScoTr.


The SENATE has removed the Injunction
of secrecy from the Proceedings which have
lately taken place in that body i'm regard to the
Military Appointments made by the President
duringtlIe late recess, and submitted by him,
TO the Senate for confirmation.
1t appears that a disagreement exists be-
tween the President and Senate respecting the
construction of the act of Congress passed at
the last session. In the course of the pro-
ceedings, the President Withdrew from the
Senate part ofhis nominations. Some time
afterwards, viz on the 18th of April, he sent
a Message to the Senate, stating at large his
views of the questions involved in these ap-
poiptments. and re-noMinating Col. Towson
and Col. Gadsden for confirmation to their
respective appointments. This Message was
referred TO the Military Committee, by whom
a report was made on the 25th utimo, recon-
mending that these nominations he not agreed
TO. On, the 2Sth the question was taken, in
the Senate, on agreeing to these nominations,
and decided in the negative, by 25 votes to
II.
This whole affair is one of more than erd-
nary interest, and we shall publish all the pa
pers belonging to it, commencing, il not con-
Guiding them, nOur next. f.Nat Int.

attention, though your statement to me would

and amended the printed copy of the Army
Regulations, and sent them to the Chairman
of the Military Committee of the House of
Representatives, before the subject was final
~ acted upon in Congress that your correc-

Under these circumstances | cannot perceive

Washington, s2d April, 1899.
AS a testimony of respect to the memory
of Brigadier General Moses Porter, a soldier
Of the Revolution, and an officer Of distin-
guished merits, the Officers of the Army will
wear Grape on the hilt of their swords for the
space of thirty days. J. G. CALHOUN.
WASHINGTON, May I've have arrived
at the last day of the present session of Con-
gress, as to any measures which have not yet
passed the House in which they originated ;
the three last days of the session being, by the
rev rule, devoted, in each House, to bills
which have passed in the other House. A
large proportion Of the business which has
originated i'm the House of Representatives is
yet undecided, and must lie over to the next
session. The Compensation bill, which oc
.cupied three days of the time of the House
(sitting eight hours each day. and which is
yet susI ense, has defeated many hills. 7 he
bill was yesterday laid on the table, and may
be considered rs one of those laid over to the
next session. The subject of forlifc tions,
and the contracts under them, have also occu-
pied much time, and been the means of pre-
venting the consideration of many important
propositions. The appropriations for those
objects, however, were yesterday passed by
an overwhelming majority in the House of
Representativ es-and much other business
was afterwards transacted. MAT. Int

ing letters on the subject of a misconccption
