CossrASs1NoPLE, D,,cember 26.-The
Porte does not appear TO have decided
formally to reject the PROPOSES OF Inc
European powers. Aidhst rasna has
visited the ambassadors and pleniPoten-
tisries, and during the conversation
which occurred be is said 10 have fore
shsdowed that Turkey would raise o6lee-
ton, especially in relation to the
guarantees and foreign gehdsrmerIe.
But it is said that he did not
speak OF an absolute refusal. The Mar
quis of Salisbury to-day informed the
Sultan that the Powers were unanimous
in insisting on the adoption OF their
proposals, and in the event OF refusal
the ambassadors would quit CONSTANT
nople. The Porte will aot MAKE known
its intentions until after the sitting OF the
conference. 1t is believed the armistlce
will be prolonged, and a prompt solution
of the pending questions Is expected.
LONDON, December 26.-A Vienna
special to the Times says that there is
some belief that the question OF prolong.
ing the armistice will be made depen-
dent on Turkey giving a decisive dcclsr-
alton on the subject of forms and gusran
tees. Tbs seems to tally with the news
from kischeneE, that preparations
are making to advance the Russian head
quarters TO Chotin on the frontier.
The signal for this move was expected
from Constantinople. At the Russian
hcadqusrter it was donbted that srmy
would cross the Pruth at Skuljlnl, IN the
direction of Jassy, when the headquarters
would be transferred to Engheni. II was
rumored that this move would take place
about the l0Ih of January.
The Times IN leading editorial says.
The Porte may rest assured that the Hrst
shot fired IN defense of the United de.
mand OF Europe, would be the beginning
of the end. Neither England nor any
other power would interpose to save her
frym ruin. 1t might have more foes
than Russia at the outset.

marked, viz: Horseback's; the circu-
lar was marked confidential, because one
member Of the committee said he was
opposed TO any circular, as no
matter what was written it would be
misconstrued by the people of the North.
Another said marking it confidential
would attract the attention of those to
whom they were sent. Circulars were

tended for general circulation and so
used. il Was issued in the latter part

circular to the supervisor at Bondreusx
has been heretofore published. 1t is the
one that orders the supervisor to see
that the full republican vote is polled,
and that his recognition by the party
would be dependent on his observance of
that duty. The question of permitting
the witness to testify in regard 10 the
conduct of the campaign was discussed at
length. The chairman thought that the
testimony at present should be confined
to the rebuttal of the circular issued by
him.

The ..Times" Special.
New YORK, December 26.-The Times
has the following special from Tallahss-
see
Tomorrow the Canvassing Board
meets, in obedience to the mandate of
the Supreme Court. Speculation is rife
as to the possible action OF the Board.
The csnvassers themselves believe
that the Board is tumctuS o1fcio,
while the Democrats believe that the
piable Supreme court is the resurrec-
tion and the lie. A distinguished jurist
to-day said that the Court, by its extra
ordinary action, prostitutes itself into a
mere political umpire in the Interests OF
defeated party, and undertakes to pro-
claim Governor whom the people
have rejected and browbeat into co opera
ton and qualification Canvsssing
Board which has already discharged its
functions. This opinion is uppermost,
and that the true short answer of the
Board should be q simple denial Of the
jurisdiction of the court and take Its
partisan penalty. The Board will doubt
less make recount and report the result
TO the court IRON the face of the returns,
but it is not believed it will issue new
certificates of election. The members of
the Board maintain u dignihed silence
on this point.
The Legislature will convene Tuesday
when the Tildenites propose to lnaugu-
rate Drew, nOLens pOLenS, rumors are rife
to day that Drew propose compromise
on basis OF an equal division OF officers
he be beiLg permitted to occupy the
chief magistrates seat by general con-
sen.
The Senate committee left for East
Florida this morning. Its labor here
were emlnently satisfactory.
