THE QUESTION OF THE POWERS OF THE SENATE
VERSAILLES. December 27.-M. Gambetta
met with defeat to-day in the Budget Com
mittee. which rejected by a vote OF y to II
his motion that the Chamber OF Depu-
ties should declare that the Senate
had exceeded it's powers in restoring
the grants which were stricken out
Of the Budget by the Deputies. Although
the Budget Committee thus decided that the
question OF the powers OF the Senate ought
not to be raised, they nevertheless again
adopted various grants as originally passed
by the Deputies.
The Sicle (semi-officiaD states that the
Government intends to adopt policy OF
non-interfence in the controversy over the
rights OF the Senate.
The Troubles I'm the East.
THE HOPE FOR PEACE NOT YET ABANDoNED.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, December Pit ap-
pears certain that the Porte will not reject
all the proposals OF the Powers, but only
make objections to several points. Although
the Turkish war party is ssrnng, a peaceful
solution Is considered possible. Midhat
Pasha and Sayfet Pasha seem personally to
favor the maintenance o. peace.
The plenipotentiar'. in order to meet
the resistance OF TIE Porte, appear disposed
to, discuss cerf1ain details, provided the prin-
ciples are maintained. It is believed in
diplomatic circles that there il ground for
hope that no rupture will occur. The in-
teryiew between the Marquis Of Salisbury
and the Sultan on Tuesday appears to have
produced favorable result.
THE "PALL-NALL GAzETTE's" OPINION OF
THE TELEGRAPHIc NEWS CONCERNING THE
TROUBLES.
LONDON, December 27.-The PdN-NdH
Gazette OF this afternoon, in a leading artl-
Gle, says the kilograms on the Eastern ques-
ton are eminently misleading, and warns
readers not to believe the dispatches about
the British Ambassadors (Sir Henry Elliott)
return, the Marquis Of Salisbury's uttinaa-
turn, and the departure OF the English fleet
from Turkish waters, etc. 1t says Sir Henry
Elliott will leave Constantinople when
the conference Is ended for a period OF rest.
Basika Bay is no place for large and heavy
ships at this season; and the Marquis OF
Salisbury's business with the Sultan yester-
day was not to present the proposals OF the
conference as On ultimaf,t,a. Likely enough
his lordship told the Sultan that the rejec-
tiop,of the conference proposals would put
an end to all discussion, eand should war en-
sue he must not expect word or act OF
support from the British Government.
but between the declaration of that
End and the presentation OF q threat
ening altiWatnm there Is wide
difference. The talk of an agreement be.
