LONDON, Feb. Tho Einoncier says
Members of the Stock Exchange. Yesterday
amid n storm of groans and yclls burned the
Times and Ne,cs, and some other publications
of n Russian tendency. The mombers then
signed an address declaring confidence in the
Government. There was similar demonstra-
tion at Lloyds.' Several outdoor meetings in
the country. yesterday to protest against the
supplementary credit were taken possession Of
by adhorents Of the Government and turned In
TO anti-I Russian demonstrations. Mr.. Glad
stone was absent from the House Of Commons
last might. He will speak on Monday next.
Lord Beaconeilcld was vociierously chcered
this afternoon by a crowd numbering several
thousand persons which collected about the ap-
proaches to the House Of Lords
Sir Stafford Norhcote. Chancellor OF tho Ex-
chequer. said in the House Of Commons this
afternoon that Musurus Pasha. the Turkish
Ambassador in London. has received n telegram
from the Porte. saving the general bases Of an
armlsticc and peace were TO be signed in Adri
anoplc yesterday. The Chancellor added that
he did not know whether they were actually
signed. nor the nature Of the ir terms.
Debate upon the Governments motion for
supplementary vote was resumed Mr.. George
Otto Trcveyan uLiberaD. member for Hawick
district. strongly supported Mr.. Forster's
amen lment To- the Governments notion.
Sir Robert Peel spoke in reply 20 Mr.. Trovcl-
van. Mr.. Robert Lowe followed. He denied
that IA" vote was necessary 10 strengthen the
hands of the Government. The whole object Of
calling Parliament together had been carefully
concealed. The Government lc that they had
isolated the country. deprived II of the power
to use lis legitimate influence. and rcsorted to
the eXpedirnt " n money vote 90 bolster w
their influence and authority.
Mr.. Bourke, Under Secretary for the Foreign
Department. said If he were 10 speak without
reserve. he WAS sure thcr. would not be a sim
gle opponent 10 the vote. Nobody could look ut
the map Of Europe without recognizing that
there was much truth in Mr. Invarl's assertion
that tn" Russian terms amounted 20 the de-
struciion OF Turkeys empire in Europe. 1t
was obvious that this involved problems OF the
greatest magnitude. II rested with the deci-
| sion Of the House whether n lasting peace
should los secured or ON" made which would bo
productive uf future wars. The Government
asked for the vote not H. n war measure but to
| enable thcm To exert the influence Of the coun-
| Try not only on behalf of England, but Of all
| Europe.
Mr. Gos'hcn thought thu, now TINT the arms-
| tirc was signed. Mr. Cross must regret his
! uu"ndo To- establish the charge Oi intentional
! duplclty against Russia. He complained that
| the Governments whole policy was uctuated by
/ similar spirit. and showed a total absence Of
/ sympathy with Rus. .u's cNnrs for the OPP
/ pressed people of M" East. There might have
| been come s'inhlan'" ~ danger last night. hnt
| there wa- now no luetihcatlun for the vote. un-
! less the Gov Nrrnm"ni would state TINT they he-
| lievcd Russia would be false 10 all her en-
| gugemeut>
Tie debate was adjourned to Monday.
