from Cor stantinople says At the extraordinary

mistice was ut nist expressed. The counon
agreed that ak weeks armistice. as proposed
by the powers, might, from its sbortness, ser-
ously endsneer Turkey In the improbable evenf
of failure OF peace negotiations. The counoh
therefore decided that the Porte should comma-
nicate to the powers tho conditions which y
would consent To a six months armistioe, which
In Its opinion would have the following advan-
ges namely Enable the Porte to allay the ex-
citement among the Mussulmans; not TO ex-
pose the Porto to the risk OF having to resums
hostilties during the inclement season, nna
snord an interval which would facilitate an uu-

New ORLEANS, Oct. ll.-Many lives were
lost by the burning Of the steamboat southern

VIM. Van Phul, Mr.. Drose, Miss Fannie O'Con-
nor, and another lady, all Of Baton Rouge Mr..
Franks of Port Hudson, Mr.. Lingom and Frank
-. an employee, and the steward and his crew.
II is supposed that nearly all of those VINO were
sleeping IN the upper part OF the boat were
burned to death, as, after the hre had once got
fairly under way, II WAS almost impossible TO get
at the bow OF the boat, which was the only way
OF escape to shore. The cargo consisted Of 800
to 800 bales Of cotton. The boat was new. aud
valued al {45 90, aud was insured Tor $50 OOO,
mostly In New Orleans companies. Mr. i.

1t Is understood that the President will
waive his objections to some OF the feature
OF the sundry civil-service bill, In view OF
The necessity that the bill shall become q
law at once, and that he will sign 1t to-day
instead Of allowing II to 60 over until We'd
nesday, when IL would become q law with
ont his signature. Amongst the considera-
lions making 1t important that the bill
should be made q law before Wednesday is
the fact that there will otherwise be q de-
fault In the pay ment OF the interest (due to-
morrov) upon the District 65 bonds.

mentioned that an enlisted man who entered

for years TO come. The army will continue
10 be oficered by persons from the higher
classes OF life, and the prom 0tiou OF enlisted

IL Is altogether too rare In our own army
where the bestowal of commissions is too
