PEACE STILL RETARDED.

THE TURKS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NOT TO BE
COHsTAYTYOpLE, Wednesday, Feb. ~, 1873
Ii is now stated that the peace negotiations Will
consume another week unless Russia insists upon
their being brought to a close.
ST. PETERsDUgG. Wednesday, Feb. 81, 1873
The Agcnce Russo says the conditions Of peace pub
lished in London are inaccurate. Russia has never
demanded the expulsion of the Mussulman inhab-
itants of Bulgaria. She has only demanded the re-
call of the Turkish officials and troops. Russia
does not hand over portion of Bosnia to Servia.
The question of the Straits is reserved for the con-
sideration Of Europe. The published version con-
tains other gross inaccuracies.
LONDON, Wednesday, Feb. 81. 1873.
Intelligence from COnstantnOple under date of
February %, by way of Odessa, says: at is rx-
pectcd that the treaty Of peace will be signed this
week. Some minor points are stil under discussion
The Grand Duke Nicholas will have an interview
with the Sultan here and leave for Russia immedi-
aciy after the treaty is signed
The Russians have proposed TO the Danubian
Commission that the latter undertake the worh Of
clearing the Sulina mouth Of the Danube.
a telegram from Bucharest says Austria and Eng
land oppose the rctrocessl0n of BcS5araba, and

IBr TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSR.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The House Committee on
Banking and Currency agreed to-day to two fea-
lures of the Buckner bill for retiring the National
currency.
The first of these provides that the Treasury notes
which it is proposed TO issue in place of the National
bank notes now in circulation. shall be received for
one-third only of the customs duties and that the
remaining two-thirds shall be paid in coin author
lied by law.
The second feature adopted was in substance the
same as the ninth section of the BILL introduced by
Sir. Fort of Illinois. 1t authorizes the Secretary Of
the Treasury to reissue in their original form all
greenbacks retired, and provides that they shall
continue to be legatender on condition that the
volume of notes thus ressued and of those
already in circulation shall not at any time
exceed 800 600, 900; and that the rcssucd notes
shall be used special reserve fund
for the redemption Of the proposed treasury notes.
As fast as this fund is reduced by such redemption.
il is 10 be repleshed by the retention Of other legal
tender notes received into the Treasury. Another
provision torbds the further retirement, Cancella
lion and destruction OF legateudcr notes outstand-
ing. When notes become mutilated or worn, new
ones shall be paid out i'll their place as originally
provided by law, and the mutilalcd notes may be
destroyed, a under present regulations.

CosTER,s FAILURE TO GIVE A BOND.

BILL TO EXTEND GENERAL CosIERs TINE DE-
NoUNCED BY SENATOR'S CoNKLING AND BLAINE
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUsE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Senate was not in n
working mood to-day, and it adjourned after q
short session.
The only important bill considered was one to pro
vide for the payment Of pensions in case OF the
death. resignation, or other disability of pen
sion agents. This bill, though general in its
character and provisions was introduced in
order to cover the case of General Coster OF
New-York, who was appointed to the Pension
Agency in that State and confirmed by the Senate
nearly month ago, but who has not yet filed his
bond The regular quarterly payment of pensions
ought to begin on the fourth of next month but
General Coster desires an extension of sixty days
within which to furnish security.
The bill was advocated by Senator ingalls,, chair
man OF the Committee on Pensions, aud opposed by
Senator Edmunds, chairman of that Oh the il di-
eiary.
Senators Conkling and Blaine also opposed the
bill i'm short speeches; and running debate cnsucd,
during which both of the last named Senators as
serted, in substance, that any one who ft for
the position Of Pension Agent would have trouble
In obtaining bonds within twenty-four hours after
his commission was received.
M Withers expressed anxiety to have the pen
e!oners para.
Senator Blaine said that there were at least
twenty Senators in that chamber who could name
proper men for the position of Pension Agent iii
NewYork who would have no trouble III ming Il
bond within that time.
Senator Conkng denounced the bill rs most
barefaced sample of special legislation he had ever
seen, and sald that If he were not III the Senate he
would declare that the talk about the poor pension
ers as an excuse for passing the bill, to be aTrant
humbug.
The Democrats showed great sympathy for the
1900 pensioners who receive their quarterly pay
ments through the New-YoIk office and generally
favored the passage Of the bill.
Some dsc0uYieous words passed between Senators
ingalls, and Conkling the that If he
was not III the Senate he should say that the words
uttered by the latter were unwarranted and often
siye. Senator Conkliug did not criticise the Pres-
dent for appointing General COs;eT, nor did lie
make an attack upon the latter but said that lie
believed the General could give the necessary bonds
III twenty-fouT hours.
An amendment extending the time for the fling
Of bonds twenty days instead Of sixty was agreed
to and the bill was then passed by oyerw helming
majority.
