SKETCHES OF THE MEN.
Ahmed venk EGendi was the first President OF
the Turkish Parliament He is known for his edu.
cation and the liberalty Of his views. He was
sent to Adrianople at the time Of the first crossing
of the Balkans ut the instance Of Mr.. Layard. the
British Ambassador at Constantinople, to stop and
counteract the effects OF Suelman Pacha's severity
against the Bugarans Said and Namyk Pachas
arc likewise cultivated and liberal men The for
mcr Is the Sultan's principal aide-de-camp
THE TURKEY THAT Is TO BE-
None Of the others can be Identified with the old
Turkish party, SO that the Ministry as whole is
probably put forward not only in pursuance Of
the Sultan's promises Of reform on the termina-
tiOn OF the war, but in hope Of improving Turkeys
position with the Western Powers In the approach
ing diplomatic campaign
RUSSIA WANTS 4 NAVY.
The Daily Teegraph's Paris correspondent sayA
that he has received on high authority, some con-
firmation Of the rumor that Russia Is negotiating
Tor the surrender Of the whole Turkish fleet.
STATION IN THE SEA OF MARMORA
The Standards Paris correspondents hears from
three trustworthy that one Of the terms Of
dennitive peace Is the cesson OF naval station In
the Sea Of Marmora to Russia.
WHAT AUSTRIA WILL INSIST ON.
At the Conference Austria will insist on fixing an
exact limit to the Russian occupation OF Bulgaria
and the Danube iortresses Each State sends two
delegates to the conference.
CONSERVING TO THE CONFERENCE.
All the Powers have accepted Austria's invita-
tion to hold conference except Russia, whose ad-
hesion may be hourly expected. The Conference
assemblies almost Immediately. The Berlin North
German Gazette states that Turkey has been In.
vited to send representatives to the Conference.
WHEN 1T WILL PROBABLY MEET.
Vienna correspondent says the Conference
will probably assemble at the end Of
February or beginning OF March. Count Andrassy
wishes 1t to assemble the goth inst, but this Is
hardly possible unless Russia answers immed.
lately The Powers chiefly interested, except, o.
course, Russia, intend to insist On the Treaty o.
Paris being taken as the basis OF negotiation.
NO DATE FIXED.
The Daily 7elegraph's Vienna correspondent
says that Count Andrassy's formal invitations to
the sgnatory Powers Of the Treaty OF Paris to send
representatives to q conference at that city fix
date for Its assembling. The same correspondent
says that he has reason to believe that an import
ant decision Is pending by Austria which Is greatly
dependent on tho result Of the debate now going on
In the British Parliament and on which the fate Of
England and Austria depends.
CESSATION OF HOsrILrTIEa
The 7inses' st. Petersburg despatch says:-"The
cessation OF hostilities has produced more anxiety
than rejoicing"
The Prince Of Montenegro has accepted the
armlstice and ordered the cessation of hostilltes
GREECE HAS GONE TOO FAR
Tho Turkish Minister at Athens designates the
action Of the Greek government as declaration
of war; lie telegraphed to Constantin0ple for
men of.war to convey him thence, In consequence
OF which the Turkish neet under Hobart Pacha has
arrived at rrGus. The Greek government Is In
conservation and intends appealing to the inter.
vention OF the guaranteeing Powers. A great panic
prevails.
WILL RUSSIA CONE TO HER ArD9
The conclusion OF the armistice has caused con-
sternation, though the Russian Minister here gave
a verbal promise that Greece should be included
In the armisticc. The only rational thing for the
Greeks to do Is to stop military operations immedi-
atey and rely this promise and the good offices
OF Europe. But no order has yet been sent to the
army, and the general feeling seems to be IN favor
of continuing the war at any sacrifice. The posi-
ton OF the Greeks Is bad They can claim the re-
ward neither OF warlike achicvments nor OF
peaceful policy.
TURKEY AWAKE TO HER DANCER
Turkish iron-clads and transports have been or.
dered to convey from 5000 to 10000 troops to
the Gulf Of volo to oppose the Thcssa-
liam insurrection and endeavor TO cut OF
the retreat OF the Greek army. The
insurrection however Is gaining ground and the
Greeks arc advancing. The Greek government has
resolved not to stop the progress Of the troops
unless the great Powers promise TO maintain orler
In the Hellenic Provinces and secure the rights OF
the Provinces in the Conference.
sULErMAN TO THE SEAT OF WAR.
The Times despatch says that portion OF Sueli-
man Pacha's troops still at Kavala has been
ordered to embark for Salonica to act against the
Greeks.
THE POWERS INTERVENE
The Foreign Ministers met yesterday In Athens
and undertook to guarantee the Pir@us against
bombardment If left unarmed, thereby remaining
anopen port The Ministers adjourned the meet
Ing to walt for further instructions.
LORD DERBY TO THE GREEKS.
Lord Derby replying to q deputation OF Greek
residents yesterday, said he much regretted the
invasion OF Thessaly, but he knew 1t had been
forced on the Greek government by the demands
OF the people. lie stated that he could not exert
the power OF Great Britain to prevent the bonn
| bardment OF the Greek seaboard as he would
thereby be supporting the invasion OF Turkey II.
| however, the war was not carried on in accord.
