WASHINGTON, January 24.-The
House Elections Committee further
considered the California contested
case of Wigginton VS.. Pacheco to-
day, but reached no conclusion.
They will meet Saturday next,
when an attempt will be made to
have vote on the question. Mr..
Wigginton to day received news of
the death of his daughter in Cali
fornla. This Intelligence, interior
ing with his work of preparation,
will delay action upon this contest
for the seat now occupied by Pa
checo.
A resolution, adopted last night
at meeting of members OF the
House, proposing an organization
to procure the reconciliation of
silver and the repeal of the resump-
ton act, was circulated this after
ternoon in the House for signatures,
and many were obtained.
1t is understood that the Cabinet
agreed to release the syndicate from
their last subscription of $l0,000,-
0O0 four per cents, as Secretary
Sherman believes his plan of SELL
ing these bonds will be successful.
All accounts between the Govern
ment and the Syndicate will there
fore be settled Immediately.
Boston vYeoi Market,
BOSTON, Jan. 24.-Wool shows no
material change in the market.
The demand is steady but moder-
ate. Manufacturers are buying
only as wanted and holders are
quite firm in their views, believing
that all wool on hand will be want
ed at current rates. California
wool is in fair demand at I5tG25c
for Fall and 20034for Spring comb
ing and delaine.
The War.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The situation
is again becoming very critical.
There is authority for the statement
that Russia is indignant over the
attitude of England and is disposed
to break off negotiations altogether,
or else delay them until possessed
of military advantages which will
enable her to meet an attack from
England. Advices from st. Peters,
burg, received this morning, show
mark ed change in the tone of the
semi-official press, indicating a
possible change of programme on
the part of the Government.
1t is asserted from Bucharest that
the march on Gallipoli is military
necessity for the purpose of cutting
off the retreat of Suleiman, whose
troops are being EN- barked at Jenz-
IA, on the Gulf of Lagos.
There is considerable appre-
hension here that, from this
military necessity, may grow a
military occupation of Gallipoli,
which would greatly embarrass the
English troops II case of hostilities.
A correspondent at Pera says an
armistice has been agreed on
though the terms are not known.
He believes it includes everything
demanded by Russia. The Porte is
determined to conclude peace at
any price and allow the remainder
of the fighting, if any must be
done, to be carried OH by some 9th
er power.
A Pera correspondent says that
Suleiman still has left force of
from twenty thousand TO thirty
thousand men. With these and
such forces as can be raised at Con-
stantinople, he thinks defence of
the city could be made for several
weeks, in case it is determined to
make resistance. There is so much
uneasiness that the matter will
probably come up tomorrow in
Parliament. AS to Russia's inten-
ton, now that an armistice 10 so
long delayed, the semi-official Rus
sian organs have grown menacing
in tone and indicate the most
severe demand.
The Stock Exchange to-day has
been agtated by rumOrs of the
failure of peace negotiations, and of
orders for moving British troops.
None of these reports are traceabls
to any Trustworthy source, and
they are, probably, utterly ground
less.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-Tt is said that
the conditions which were only
made known at Vienna this week,
were submitted to Prince Bismarck
and approved long ago. If the con-
ditions are known in London the
fact has not yet been made public.
Peace or Biooa.
| LONDON, Jan. 24th.-The Turk
Ish Parliament has voted an adj
dress asking the Sultan to hasten
the conclusion of peace, or, if that
be made impossible, by the oner-
Gus character of the Russian con-
ditions, to organize resistance to
the bitter end.
The war.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The fleet COM
manded by Marthorpe Bey has
started for Kavala to embark Sulei-
man Pasha's troops. Half of his
army will be conveyed to Gallipoli
and half to Constantinople. A
Constantinople dispatch, dated yes
terday, says the Porte to-day re.
celved a telegram, sent by Tervel
Pasha from Khan Tiki, Monday
stating that the Russian conditions
had not yet been formulated, but
he expected to learn them on Tues
day. The preliminaries showed
that confidence with their terms
would have wider bearing thar
was at first supposed. The discus.
sions upon negotiations have beer
somewhat animated.
