The Parliament Votes 6,OOO,O0O Pounds
for war Purposes.
London, Feb. s.-The following is sam
mary of the terms of the armistice, commu-
nicated by Sir Stafford Northcote in the
house Of commons this afternoon, as given
in dispatch from Lay ard, dated February
Z: According to this the line of demark-
alton fixed by the armistice places in the
Russian hands almost all Bulgaria and
Roumelia up to the line of Constantinople
and Gallipoli. Three days notice is to be
given before the resumption of hostilities
Another article of the armistice stipula-
tes that the Turks are to remove their arms,
etc., on the evacuation Of places within the
neutral zone which will divide the two
armies.
The dispatch concludes by saying that
the Turks have commenced the withdrawal
Of guns from the Constantinople lines.
Sir Stafford Norihcote said it was quite
evident from this that although the Rus-
SLAMS have not occupied the Constantinople
lines they have occupied outPosts close to
them, and as the lines under the provisions
Of the armistice are thoroughly dismantled,
the Russians are able, after merely giving
three days notice, to advance upon Constan-
tinople without hindrance.
Sir Stafford Northce stated that Musurus
Pasha, Turkish ambassador at London, has
positively contradicted the report from
Adrianople that Lords Beaconsfeld and
Layard have encouraged Turkey to fight by
promising Englands intervention.
Sir Stafford Northcote. replying to various
questions, said no answer had been received
to the communication sent TO Lord Lotus
desiring him to call the attention of the
Russian government to the czar's assurance
that the Russians would not oc> upy Constan-
tinople for military honor, but only in case
Of necessity.
The chancellor declared that the present
mission of the fleet was Of a different charac.
ter from that upon which it was recently
ordered to enter the Dardanelles, though he
protested against the former mission being
considered % an act Of war or as a menace
to any other power, but might be beneficial
both for the protection Of the lives Of British
hension which, whether we'll or ill.founded
did exist among the people Of England
After debate in the commons, the vote Of
e6,o00,000 sterling passed by diversion, 32s
to 124, amid enthusiastic cheers from the
conservatives. Prominent liberals and lead.
ers of the opposition, including Lord Hart.
ington and Mr.. Forster, abstained. Mr.
Gladstone voted with the minority. The
opposition hissed Lord Harrington as he LEFT
the house.
The Times in its leading editorial says
that it does not share in the excitement and
alarm which Yesterdays news created in
many quarters, but thinks the time has
come when the whole responsibility of act
ion ought to be thrown upon the govern

The government had right under the laws
of war TO take all the property in the city
of Alexandra for its own use; to drive out
all It's inhabitsnts, and 10 destroy the city if
it chose.
Mr.. Eden asked Mr.. Congcr whether he
bad not united in the report of the commit
tee on war claims Of the last congress in fa-
vor of the same bill.
Mr.. Conger denied that he had done SO.
l would say perform any contract and pay
any money promised, but the parties them.
selves did not regard it. The contract and
-the report of the committee does not show
that there was contract. Then say that
the case falls 10 the ground for lack of con-
tract. Referring TO the Tilden letter, Mr.
Conger expressed his surprise at the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Mills last Friday that
Tilden would not be the standard bearer of
the democracy in the next presidential cam.
psign, and he asked the meaning of that in
tention. Did it mean that the standard
bearer of the democracy in the next cam
paign would not write such letter and
would not indorse such views? Was that
foreshadowing of what was to come? 1t
seemed to him that the question had been
brought before the country for a different
letter from the next standard.bearer of the
democracy. What would that letter con-
tain? How would the phraseology of the
Tilden letter be changed in the next cam.
paign?
Mr.. Bridges asked Mr.. Conger whether
he asserted that there was no contract tc
pay for the use ofthose mills.
Mr.. Conger-I do most emphatically
Commissary Bell could not bind the coun
try for all the millions that are to follow
the passage Of this bill by asserting that it ii
just.
Mr.. Townsend of New York argued thai
in this case there had been an agreement
to pay rent for the mills and that therefore
1t should be paid.
Mr.. Frye characterized the claim as .
perfectly honest, just and fair one. Their,
was 4 contract by implication which ough
to compel the government to pay.
The discussion was closed without argu
ment by Mr.. Tucker in favor of the bill
The committee then rose, reported tn
bill to the house with a recommendation

gerry or alteration Of Vernon parish returns,
but there was not one particle of evidence
70 convict him Of this act. The whole had
been thoroughly examined then by a com.
mittee of congress and all records and
returns had been spread before
them, and even Mr.. Littlefeld
who made alterations, had exculpated
Anderson from knowledge of it. The tr nth
is, Vernon returns were opened by the re-
turning board before hosts Of witnesses and
on the 9th day Of the examination were
printed precisely as they were in the daily
papers and in both house, Of congress,
and the. subsequent alteration by Littlefeld
Of one copy Of these returns was done either
as put up job by him or in the
interests Of local candidate, hay-
ing ne effect upon the general result,
and there does not appear TO be single
scrap of testimony showing that Anderson
participated in the slightest degree. Moth.
ing has been done pending the trial to in.
reference in any way with the course OF
thu judicial proceedings, but if Anderson il
imprisoned under tAis sentence it will be 8

bring into contempt al efforts at peace

terrible commentary upon the efforts of the
president to quiet the turbulence and VIC
lence of Louisiana politics, and seems to be
an act of folly and madness. The follow

inee for postmaster. Reed was present with
evidence to disprove the charges.
SECRETARY SHERMAN
being asked If it was true that he (Sherman)
Matthews. Garfield, Hall and White had
sent dispatch TO Anderson, said it was
true, and as that fact had been made public
he would furnish copy Of the dispatch,
and they meant all they said. Mr.. Sher.
man then stated that he regarded the arrest,
trial and conviction Of Anderson as great
outrage, under the color or forms of the
law. Anderson was not indicted. The
proceedings against him is called an infor-
nation, and it is expressly prohibited in
cases Of felony, by the constitution of the
United States, and Of most of the
states, but is provided for by the
law of Louisiana. The information
was signed and filed by a man who was au
officer Of the white league, and identified
with all the numerous crimes Of that organ
ization. The Judge who tried the case is a
public defaulter for over six hundred thous-
and dollars. When Anderson
wa, arrested he was acting collector
Of the port of New Orleans. and the arrest
was made while he was 10 discharge Of his
duty at the custom house, which stands, as
Sherman thinks. on ground under the sole
jurisdiction of the United States, by cession
from Louisiana. He was hurried
to prison and required to give excessive
bail, and failing to do so was kept In custo-
dy, denied all post ronement, forced to trial

out the benefit Of bail. The jury was
