THE sO-CALLED POTTER COMMITTEE UNABLE TO GO
AHEAD WITHOUT THE GENERAL.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Potter Committee
met pursuant to adjournment at IL o'clock this
morning. Four members Messrs. Potter, Hunton,
HiscOck and Springer, were present. Chairman
Potter announced that as General Butler had not
arrived the committee would hold an executive ses-
sion; and then it was decided to take recess until
o'clock On reassembng telegram from Cen
eral Butler was received, announcing his probable
arrival tomorrow morning. The committee then
adjourned. 1t is worthy of notice that no conceal
ment is made of the dependence Of the Democrats
upon General Butler to do the work of examination
and by the device of relying upon him they
hope to find means for going outside the narrow
limits fixed for the scope of the investigation by the
wording Of the Potter resolution. When this mat
ter was under consideration by the Democrats in the
House, the whole movement was vigorously opposed
in certain quarters unless the field of investigation
should be narrowed very far below the designs of
its originators Now that General Butler has proved
to be more than willing TO be used by the Democrats
they find this means of extending the inquiry
while hoping to escape the blame of exceeding their
powers under the law.

TURKISH TREATY.

1t is uncertain whether the subject of the

ENGLAND THRILLED BY THE TREATY.


EXPECTS TO SWEEP THE COUNTRY.
BY CABLE TO TRIBUSE.1
LONDON Wednesday. July 10. 1878.
Numerous reports as to the probabilities and pos
sbities of the effect the AnglO-Turksh treaty will
have, are in circulation The following given as
the most credible: A complete severance between
the radical and moderate wings of the Liberal party
Is believed to be inevitable as the result Of the pro-
ceedings of the Berlin Congress, and the disclosure
of the English and Turkish treaty. 1t understood
to-day. that Immediately after Earl Beaconsfelds
return from Berlin Parliament will be dissolved and
a general election ordered.
Some of the Conservatives regard this with disfa-
vOr, the ground that the Government has at pres
ent an ample majority and that ii is not wise TO
throw away a certainty for an uncertainty, nor to
put members to the expense Of an election for tho
purpose of increasing this majority by a few votes.
But Earl BeacOnsfeld is said to believe that the
country will be dazzled and carried away by the
acquisition of Cyprus and the Asiatic prOectOrate,
that the House will contain none but his sup
pOrers. And he is said to have limited that certain
other things were to be accomplished III Asia, for
success in which he would need the unanimous sup
port of Parliament. The Moderate Liberals, in the
event of dissolution would either not offer them
selves for reelection or would declare IN favor or
BeacOnseld's foreign policy so far as 1t has been
disclosed. But the Radicals propose to make
broad issue against all that has been done at Berlin,
and especially against the Anglo-IuIklsh treaty
and on this point the rupture In the party will be
complete.
that the diplOmatlsts of Russia, Italy and France
are in receipt of instructions from their respective
Governments to protest against the Cyprlan treaty
in the strongest terms. The Austrian plenipoten-
tiaries, on the contrary, well satisfied. Prince
BlsmaIck has thus far maintained strict silence on
the question.
