compelled to surrender with his whole army
Up to the present time it is impossible to es-
innate the number of Turkish prisoners, or the
quantity of war material taken. The Russian

| New YORK, Dec. II.
Special advices from Bucharest put the num-
Der of Turkish prisoners taken at Plevna at
10000. The number of guns captured at 400.
The ground, which was the scene Of the sortie-
was literally strewn with thousands of dead and
dying. Osman Pasha, himself, was severely
wounded before he would consent to surrender.
His valor, which is described as desperate, is
everywhere the theme of conversation. The
sufierings Of the Turks in the beleagured town
were awful; cold, disease and famine, decimated
ranks, and soldiers reduced to living skeletons
| There were no doctors, and no medicine could
be obtained.
There has been an important rise in all classes
OF Russian securities on the London Stock Ex-
change, and they maintain great firmness, not
withstandng that large realizing sales have
been thrown upon the market.
The general tone of the London press is to
urge the Government to seize the present OPP
portunity for a meditation. and while it may yet
not be too late. Sofia must be captured before
long, and that accomplished, no important OBJ
stacle remains to a rapid advance of the VIC
torious Russians on to Adrianople.

will witness scenes of the widest excitement in

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.
An 1nter-Ocean Washington special says that
Senator Matthews speech to-day is regarded as
the ablest argument in favor of reconciliation
ever delivered In Congress. He spoke an hour
and half, and had unusual attention. Sena-
tor Jones says it will convince the country, if it
will not convince the anti.silver men.
Conklings motion to make Matthews reso.
luton joint, instead of concurrent, was made
in order to force President Hayes to declare at
once whether he would sign the bill making
bonds payable in silver as we'll as gold JOINT
resolutions are submitted to him. while con-
current are not. Should he refuse to sign the
resolution, Conkling knows that great many
citizens favoring reconciliation will be arrayed
against him. The silver men favor this am
endment. and will pass it If it comes up again.
Edmunds prevented vote on Matthews reso-
luton by motion to adjourn.
The Senate will decide tomorrow whether
the resolution shall be acted on before the sill
yer bill. Allison has charge OF the latter meas
ure, and will make an opening. short speech.
Its advocates are not inclined to talk, but its
opponents will consume considerable time.
Allison, Jones and others will endeavor to get
the bill through before the recess, by night ses-
sions. Jones thinks the Senate will not agree
to the amendments Of the Finance Committee,
but that the Bland bill, as it comes from the
House, will pass. II he speaks at all, he will
oppose the amendments.
