Montenegro Demands-Fear of n HOLY
War.
VIENNA, April 19.--lt is stated that negotia-
tions which have been pending at Constantine
pie since the 9th inst. between Parte and the
specla! envoy of Montenegro demand the ces-
sion of the Herzegovina valley as far as Mostar,
besides the harbor of Spizza. The newspapers
express fears lest the Sultan will raise the
standard of the prophet thus appealing to
Mohammedan fanaticism.
The Situation as Viewed by the London
Times.
LONDON, April 20.-The Berlin correspond
emit of the Times reviews the situation in the
east as follows: AS the suspension of negotia-
tons is the only measure which has followed
the refusal of the insurgents to lay down their
arms, the insurgents are more than ever con-
WINGED that the Russian government, although
bent upon preventing immediate dismember-
ment of Turkey, is too much influenced by the
slave party to allow Austria to restore peace.
Under these circumstances the increase Of the
rebellion is only natural. The insurgents have
received considerable sums of money from Rus

Mukh tar Pasha's Losses.
A Vienna telegram to the Daily News re-
ports that half the garrison of Missile is sick
1t is said that Mukhtar Pashas losses during
MS retreat were enormous The mountain
passes were so narrow as only to admit of five
men marching ABREAST. ROCKS were continual
~ hurled down the precipices upon the Turkish
forces as they struggled through.
Defeat of the Insurgents.
CoNsTANTINopLE, April 19-The Minister of
War has received a telegram from Mukhtar
Pascha, dated Tuesday last. Mukhtar says:
I'VE have arrived at Gatzko. Victorious en-
gagements were fought during the six days &C.
cupied in advancing toward and returning from
the neighborhood of Nicsic We gained a
striking advantage, although the rebels who
were $4,000 strong were twice as numerous as
our forces. The Prince of Montenegro openly
and regularly organized Montenegrins had
joined the insurgents"
An official telegram flom Mostar, capital of
Montenegro, comedies with the foregoing and
states that Mukhtar returned to Gatzko after
leaving provisions for Nicsic in Fort Prejeka,
which is three hours march to the northward OF
Nicsic. Thirty-one Turks were killed and rs
wounded. The insurgent loss was much great.

SENATE.


WASHINGTON, April 49,
After the Senate adjourned as court of i'm
parchment the legislative business was resum-
ed, and the House bill to define the tax on fer
mented and malt liquors was passed.
Mr.. Oglesby at his own request was excused
from serving on the special committee.
Mr. Thurman called up the motion entered
by him several weeks ago to reconsider the
vote by which the bill in regard to counting
the votes for President and Vice President was
passed. He did not think the bill which PASS
ed the Senate could pass the House. Ii the
bill should be perfected it would no doubt re-
ceive the unanimous support Of the Senate and
be passed by the House.
Mr.. Morton did not think that any good
would be accomplished by reconsideration. If
the House did not like the bill it could amend
it, Senate could disagree to such amendments
and the bill would 60 to the conference com
mittee. Since the bill has passed the Senate a
circumstance had been discovered which would
startle the country when made public
Mr.. Bayard inquired the nature of it,
Mr.. Morton would not mention names, but
it was case where Vice President was count
ing the vote for President and (being himself
candidate) counted false or void return in his
own favor The fact was in the possession of
one of the senators from Vermont.
Mr.. Thurman had seen it stated in the news
papers that this Vice President when his atten.
ton was called to the fact that the return was
false directed clerk to count il and then tore
up the paper. That great man never did such
thing. 1t was no use to conceal the name of
that man. 1t was no less man than Thomas
Jefferson. 1t would not do now to make such
a charge as that against him. He (rhurman)
would wait for the production of the evidence
and ventured to say that when it was produced
there would be nothing in it to impugn the in.
tegrity of ur. it fferson.
After further discussion the vote was recon.
sidered-yeas 81, nays 90. The bill was placed
on the calendar.
Mr.. Morton gave notice that he would call it
up tomorrow.
Mr.. Sherman called up the silver bill so that
it would come up as the unfinished business to-
morrow. He did not expect to have it disposed
of tomorrow, but several senators wanted to
speak upon it.
On motion of Mr.. Frelinghuysen the bill re-
lative to the Japanese indemnity fund was
taken up. He submitted an amendment TO
strike out the clause authorizing the President
after correspondence with the Japanese gov.
eminent and IN a manner satisfactory to it to
transfer said fund together with its increase to
the government of Japan in trust, the income
thereof to be perpetually used for the education
OF LABOR in Japan. Agreed to.
MI. Edmunds moved to strike out the second
section in relation to the payment OF prize
money to the officers and crews OF the U. s.
vessels Wyoming and jamestown for the des-.
truction of piratIcal craft in 1868 and 1864
After the discussion and without action on
the amendment, the Senate went into execu-
tive session and at o'clock adjourned.
