THE CONFERENCE YIELDS TO TURKEY


If the report of the action of the Conference
at Constantinope, on Monday. be exact in
every particular it foreshadows a most lame
and impotent settlement. After agreeing upon
and presenting demands which, although not
formulated as an ultimatum, possessed the
character of One.-for the air of "tlIis, or
"n0thingw was unmstakablp, Turkeys fiat,
almost contemptuous refusal created very
general feeling of amazement. But it seems
that Turkey knew what she was about, after
all. The stern, digniiicd attitude Of the Con-
ference imposed upon the rest of the world,
but not upon her. There must have been
behind all, "A nervous dread of throwing down
the last barrier between its action and war,
which she was Ghrewd enough 10 detect Her
answer was an open defiance, but it proves to
have been inteligently dared. Whatever adj
miration the world may have felt for the IN
expected concord and determination of the
representatives of the Christian Powers will
now be transferred to the Ottoman Govern
mcnt
In fact, the extent to which the joint de-
mands have been modified seems hardly cred-
Bile. The very point which it was tho object
of the Conference TO aitaiD,-whch Russia
presented ut the outset a. a sine qua ROn,--
has been pared down TO such tcnuty that it
means nothing and will support nothing. 1t

Judge DAYS address summarizes the adj
vances made during the year i'll geographical
explorations. The great features OF success
are in the Arctic regions and in the interior OF
Africa, but vast amount of valuable work
has been done in almost every quarter OF tho
globe. The Nile no longer holds her secret,
and though the Pole has not yet been APP
preached the boundaries of the Sea of Ancient
Ice have been partly ascertained. There Is
vet. however, plenty of work for hardy ex-
plorers. and they will not have occasion IN the
present century to sigh because there are not
new worlds to conquer.

The Rev. Mr.. Cowley may be peculiarly
. fitted for the direction of 4 children's home,
but if his success has been no greater than II
was yesterday with one of his own witnesses,
the State Board of Charities can remove him
on the sole ground OF imbecity. The story
of the interview between Mr.. COwley, his wit
ness, and the reporter makes very interesting
reading. The girls warmth as she broke
away from Mr. Cowlcy's leading questions ana
burst out with fresh afirmations OF all she had
charged against him. will leave very little
doubt in the mind of the average reader as TO-
the truth of her story. This looks like a case
of Squeers.

There will be no little regret that the House
of REPRESENTATIVES should have defeated, even
temporarily, the movement for representa-
ton Of the United States at the proposed IN
ternational conference which is to consider the
relative values of gold and silver, and en-
deavor 70 fix some ratio which all civilized
nations will accept. This is problem on
which all the light is needed that can be had,
and a refusal to enter such conference Is
simply a determination to choose darkness
rather than light and prefer ignorance to en-
lghtenment. The notion seems to be llnger-
ing in the minds of some of our Congressional
financiers that this country can arrange its
monetary system without taking into consid-
Grafton at all the. rest of mankind. 1t is pity
that men of this stamp should have anything
to say about the matter, and it is to be hoped
that recommendation from the Silver Com
mission in favor of participation in the con-
ference will eventually override their opposl-

WAsHGNGroN, Feb. 21.-Public interest IN the

to-day before a slender audience and pushed Oh

Tribunal regard their closing labors as formal and

4 REVIEW OF THE DAY
SIX STATFS COrNTEn.


PROCEEDINGS % s RAPIDiY-THE OBJECTIONS.
BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-The House got to work
this morning about 1890, the first 30 minutes hav
ing been consumed in reading the objection TO the
vote of Nevada, in order TO give time for a quorum
to arrive Then Mr.. Springer, who was the author
of this objection moved by resolution that the en-
tire vote of Nevada be counted, and said in expana
ton that the objection was made under a msappre-
henson. 1t turned ont that the Nevada eIector
whose eligibility was questioned was clerk OF a
United States court in that state, but in the haste
of drawing mp the protest it had been alleged that
he was a commissioner. There being no opportunity
TO amend the objection after il had been submitted
the joint convention of the two houses, and the
case being very limsy one at best. the authors of
it determined to withdraw it in a. graceful man
possible. Nearly hour and half was
afterward consumed by the speeches Of several Rep
resentatives who failed to obtain the floor yes-cr
day. But the debate having finally been exhausted,
the vote of Nevada was unanimously received. No
tice of this fact sent to the Senate.
At noon the Senator, appeared once more at the
entrance Of the Chamber Of Representatives and
were formally announced. They took their accus-
toned seats on the right of the Speaker then the
count went on with commcndable celebrity. By
general UNDERSTANDING reached last evening, nothing
excep; the result of the vote in each of the States
where no contest occurred was read, so that New
Hampshire, Ncv-Jer,ey, New-York. North Carolina,
and Ohio were disposed OF in a few minutes, instead
of occupying an hour and Il half rs they would
have done had all the papers accompanying the re-
turns been read. SOM minutes before the Oregon
vote was called -...r Kelly was upon hi, feet
eager to be recognized by President Ferry, TO make
objections. The presiding officer recognized SEN
ator Mitchell fist Mr.. Mitchell presented the pro-
test to the Cronin vote, then senator Ecly had his
turn. 1t is very significant that no strictly Southern
Senator or Representative signed the paper which
he presented. With one OF two exceptions they all
belonged ID the band OF flibusters who have been
defeated for rec ecton and eager for Office I'M
der Mr. Tilden. Oregon being objected to, the two
houses again separated and the papers wele sent TO
the Electoral Tribunal.
