the second section Mr.. Bsysrd spoke in
favor of it and said that it was the OILY
redsemiDg festure in the bill. He IA
vored sn international monetary Con-
gress and hoped the amendment would be
adopted.
Mr.. Morrill, also favored its adoption.
Mr.. Salisbury opposed it and said
there.was no necessity for attaching this
measure 10 an importan. financial act,
but let it be brought forward as sn inde-
dependent proposition.
Afeer further debate Mr.. Allison modi-
fed the amendment by striking out the
words, "of legal tender" so that the con-
ference should be to adopt common
ratio between gold and silver without
reference to legal tender. The amend
ment as modified was agreed 10, yeas 40,
nays 80.
At $3.50 A. NJ. the prospect was that q

sian Occupation.
LONDON, February l6.-Lord Derby's
protest against the Russian occupation
of Constantinople is published. 1t is
very decidedly worded. 1t demonstrates
that the entry of the Russian troops
would be violation of the armistice, and
might provoke disorders causing the very
danger to the Christians which the Rus
sian govern ment deprecstes. 1t con.
cludes as follows: Her Msjesty's gov
eminent cannot acknowledge that the
dispatch of the British ships to Constsn-
tinople has any bearing on the entry Of
the Russian troops into the city; which
latter measure they consider uncslled for
by any circumstances of q military or
other necessity, and the consequences Of
which may be most disastrous to the
whole population of the city.
Derby has also telegraphed to Lord
Lotus, February l3, that he had ex-
pressed to Count Schounelof the govern
ment'S earnest hope that the Russian
troops would not make any movement
toward Gsllipoli, or any movement OF
nature TO threaten the COMMUNICATIONS
of the feet, as it would be regarded as
compromising the safety Of the fleet, and

Sultan has dispatch from the Gar,
stating that his troops would occupy the
neighborhoot Of Constsntinople in 4
friendly spirit, and with the same object,
the protection of his subjects, As that for
which the British fleet was sent. The
report that the cabinet has decided upon
the departure of the Sultan for Brousss,
IN Antolia, in the event OF the Russians
entering the capital is untrue. The
Sultan will remain in Constantinople in
any event.
