The Russian advances in Asia Minor
is slow but certain. The objective poin
at the presen. time is Erzsroum. In 'h'
advance upon that place the right rests
upon Olte, the left upon Van. Both de-
tachments are moving cautiously, and
leaving no obstacles in t'.eir rear. In the
meantime the bombardment Of kars is
continued but no assaults have been made
upon that place for some time. The las'
we're repulsed. Should Erzeroum fall be
fore the attack of the combined force NOV
ing upon it, Kars will no longer be Of any
use to Turkey in military sense, and il
will have to be abandoned. Whether ths
force can be Withdrawn is questionable
point. 1t may fall into the hands Of tn
Russians. With the capture Of these tw'
places, one flank Of the Turkish defence
will be opened to the enemy, and the from

ganized, TO be called the National Union
party. It's birthplace is to be New York,
its members conservative and moderate
men Of both parties. No flames are yet
given in connection with the leadership Il

Europe this morning is somewhat
sensational. The Turkish Coun-
Gil last Thursday discussed the pro

efforts Of the Conference to patch
up a peace were given to the winds
amid cries of Death before Dis

Nd other alternative. 1t is report
ed that Gortschakoff has recent

H According TO the argu.
ments Of some of the head lights
of the Radical party, it seeEs
they go deal on Mr., Tilden's
honesty, and very little on tie
honesty Of their own candidate.
They say Mr. Tilden is too Non

'gon, which he obtained according
to laws governing such cases.
Now, sirs, if Mr.. TiIden is too
honest to receive one vote legally
gotten, tell us how honest Mr..
Hayes is, who is willing to re-
ceive 10 stolen votes? Out with
it, and let us see what low esti-

An Electoral Tribunal.
The Committees Plan to Settle the
Disputed Election.


pointed for the purpose have a.
greed 10 recommend the pas
sage of a concurrent resolution
by Congress, providing that all
questions raised on the 18th of
February concerning the valid
ity of any electoral vote shall
be referred to and determined
by a tribunal consisting Of five
members of the Senate, five
members of the House Of Rep
reese ,Itatives and five Justices
of the Supreme Court. Tho
resolution reported by the COM
mitiecs will name four of the
Justices by their circuits, viz
Maine, California, Iowa and
Pennsylvania. The Justices
thus designated are Messrs
Clifford and Field, Democrats.
and Miller and Strong, R-pub-
licans. These four Justices are
to select in any manner they
choose a fifth, but it will be I'M
dersiood that they will select
one OF the two remaining JUS
tees of longest service who
were not appointed from Ohio OF
New York--namely, Justice
Davis or Justice Bradley.
To the tribunal thus COM
posed are to be referred all ques-
lions that may be raised con-
corning the electoral votes, and
their decision is to be final, un-
less reversed by the vote Of both
Houses of Congress. The du-
ties of the President of the
Senate are limited to opening
and announcing the electoral
votes and noting the objections
raised by either House.
The tribunal thus established
is to assemble and organize inn
mediately and to proceed with
all convenient despatch to pass
upon the questions referred to
it. Including among these
questions, of course, is whether
lS5 votes are necessary to an
election of President by the
people, and whether, if the
vote of any State is excluded,
the House of Representatives
shall then proceed to elect the
President and the Senate the
Vice-President. 1t is, there
fore, an absolute reference of
all questions which can arise to
this tribunal, for it cannot be
assumed that any conclusion
TO which the tribunal may come
will not be overthrown by the
concurrence of both Houses Of
Congress.
Senator Morton alone stands
out against the greement. Ills
true, that one member Of the
House Committee .Mr.uunton, of
Virginia, has given a somewhat
qualified assent to the report to-
night, but he will sign the re-
port in the morning before it is
presented, and the seven Demo
Gratis on the two committees will
therefore be a unit for the
scheme. With Edmunds, Conk-
ling, Frelinghuysen, Thurman,
Bayard and Ransom in the SEN
som in the Senate, and Payne,
Uunton, Hewitt, Springer, Hoar,
McCreary and Willard in the
House united in favor Of the
adoption of this measure, it is
not doubted here that it will
command the votes Of a large
majority in both branches Of
Congress. No shadow of &
doubt exists in the minds Of
men Of both parties on the COM
mittees who have been instru-
mental in reaching this under
standing that it will be accepted
by Congress and by the people
of the country.
