For the completion of the preliminaries General
Ignatien IL going to Adrianople.'
srrBBoxNNEss OF THE TURKS.
The Daily Ne,osi Adrianople correspondent
says:-"The delay in signing the armistice was
caused by the refusal OF Server and Namyk Pachas
to accept the condition creating the Principality
OF Bulgaria. which they declared would be the de-
struction OF the Turkish Empire in Europe. The
Grand Duke Nicholas was not authorized to modify
the terms, so the negotiations came to o stand
still.
WHY THE ADVANCE CONTINUED.
"The Plenipotentiarles telegraphed to the Porte
for instructions, but, up to the 2sth OF January,
had not received them, SO the Russians continued
to advance on Constantinople." This Is incon-
sstent with the declarations OF the Porte that full
powers were sent by Izzed Bey and an absolute
order to sign telegraphed on the 25th ofJanuary.
IN THE STOCK EXCHANGE
Consols dropped yesterday morning in conse-
quence OF q rumor that the British fleet had been
ordered to Constantinople This rumor Is probably
mere guess, based on the announcement OF a
Russian occupation Of Constantlnople. Consos re-
covered rapidly and were quoted at the last
board at s5ss. Russian bonds are two per cent
lower than they were at the close OF Wednesdays
market
CLEVER ACT.
An Andriancple despatch confirms the report OF
the opening or the telegraph line to odessa The
quickest communication with Constantinople Is,
therefore, now through Russia.
