ABANDONED EXHIBITS.

,uprF SALES OF MACHINERY, FURNITURE, CHINA
rrc LEFT AT THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION
ARRANGING.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-COllector tuition, Oh fhil-
o5epbia. arrived here this morning and spent most
of the day in the Treasury Department. in consuita
tion with the Secretary and Assistant Secretary lie
was not at the White House, and his business was
purely of an official character.
He comes to consult with the Department In re-
card TO the disposition of the abandoned Centennial
IDS which are very numerous and valuable. The
Goods were brought from foreign countries the du-
t;es IN he paid subsequently, and bond being given
or5 n claim held against the goods them
.e,ves for the payment of the duties. The
goods were abandoned by their owners for various
reasons some because they could not pay the duties
and some because the duties were more than the
goods were worth after the Exposition. Exhibitors
were allowed year in which to remove their goods
after the Exposition closed the year expired more
thar two months ago.
The Customs regulations require that abandoned
nv unclaimed goods shall be sold at the public stores.
In this case Mr.. Tuition asserts compliance with the
law is impossible at least undesirable lie thinks
there should be three sales: one OF showcases,
heavy machinery, and bulky goods which have
never been removed, to take place at the Main Ex-
postion Bindings one of large goods and machinery
that have been stored in Government build
incs these to be sold where they are; and
another sale of small articles and portable
goods at some auction store Among the goods
Mr.. Tuition desires shall be sold at an aue-
tion store are the entire effects, furniture, china
plate, cutlery and linen Of the celebrated lrols
Freres restaurant. The Collector says that such an
arrangement would be beneficial to the Government,
as more buyers would be reached.
Workmen are already engaged in opening and un-
hacking the goods When the sales occur pur-
chasers will know exactly what they are buying.
If is Mr. Tutton's desire 10 advertise the
sale extensively, instead of in the usual abscure
and formal manner. The Secretary Of the Treasury
and misunderstanding Hawley approved the
Collectors recommendations and the regulations
of the Customs Service will be modified i'll this IN
stance bv order of the Department. Mr. Tuition Will
return to-morrow, bearing with him the necessary
Instructions from the Secretary The Immense sales
will begin as soon as the schedules eau be prepared,
and the sales duly advertised .,n
The Collector reports that nothing was sad by the
Secretary the misunderstanding nor himself as 10
his remaining in Office, or about his retirement lie
saws he has not let the subject bother m ior seVeTa
months He thinks those who have talked TO the
President on the subject, must be fully aware that
there will not he change III the ColiectOrship OF
PHILADELPHIA for some time. lie Is very conndeht
and not at all anxious The last time Representa- a.
tive Harmer was here he said ne would bet all ms
old boots and hats that there would be no chanse.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-An act of March 3, 1877.
provided for an inquiry to be conducted by special
agents of the Post Office Department. the object of
which TO ascertain the rates OF compensation paid
to Post Office clerks in different cities and to
the material upon which Congress may base legisa-
ton looking to the equalization of salaries These
investigations have now been going on for
some time. Reports have been already re-
ceved from many of the prominent cities. Among
them are New-York, Boston, New-Haven, Hartford
Providence, Cincinnati, Columbus. Cleveland, To-
ledo, Pittsburg st. Louis, Little Rock and Nash
vile. The examinations at Philadelphia and Chi
cago will be completed during the present week.
The greatest reduction recommended by the special
agents is at St. Louis, where it amounts to 100000
ayear. The returns from New-York and partial re-
turns received from Chicago show so large an in
crease Of business during the past year that reduc
tion is anticipated in either of these places

THE PEACE PARTY DOMINANT IN ENGLAND-FEARs
EyINCED THAT RUSSIA WILL SETTLE WITH
TURKEY on HER OWN ACCoUNT-RUssiAs
PEACE CONDITIONS.
The burden of the reports regarding peace ne
gotiations is that the Powers who were parties to
the Treaty of Paris claim the right to take part
In the settlement of the Russo-Turklsh war,
but none of them is disposed to uphold this de-
mand by force of arms should Russia
manage to bring Turkey to terms by direct nego-
tiations. In England, Lord CarDarvons speech dep
recating alarm, and declaring that England should
not 20 to war for Turkey, is received with favor
The Earl of Beaconsfelds efforts to plunge England
into war, and tie manner in which he was checked,
are described in the London letter appended. The
conditions of peace which Russia recently required
are also authortativey announced therein.

WHY PARLIAMENT WAS SUMMONED.

Az II1tNATTM TO RUSSIA PROPOSED by lord
BEACoNsFIEID-A LETTER PROCURED BY HIM
FROM THE QUEEN, APPROVING HIS COURSE
THE CABINET REFUSES TO SUPPORT HIM-PAR-
LAMENT SUMMONED AS AN ACT OF COMPRO-
MIsE-THE RUSSIAN CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
Iruov THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
LONDON. Dec. 22-Jhe truth about the summon
inc of Parliament oozes slowly out and the nearer
the approach to the real fact the less formidable
does the event appear. The sobcrest OF the pro-
Turkish journals told us last evening that the Gov
ernment calls Parliament together at an early date
simply TO receive an account OF the Ministerial
policy. with the customary explanations. Only
this and nothing more, after what this author
ity describes accurately enough as forty
eight hours of somewhat wild guessing, ex-
tending from detcrminate warlike movements
10 grand financial operations. This 1t pron0unces
the most reasonable meaning Of the announcement
vet declares the whole position Of affairs extremely
critical, the mpossbhty of delaying decision o'
some kind only too apparent. After all, then, II
would seem that Parliament is to be asked to give
decision or something or other: and the conjec-
ture that it was called in as an umpire, secuted
though it has been by this same journal, is not
wholly unreasonable.
But there s, as usual, an inside history to all this
and hear from very good source the following
account of what really happened:
Lord Beaconsfeld, now rs ever, is bent on war !;
or on protecting his dear Turks. and the British n-
tcrests upon them depending, by some equally eif-
cient and equally startling stroke Of policy. He
asked the Cabinet to sanction the sending OF an
ultmatum to Russia, <he terms of which are not
known but are presumed not TO vary much from
