because Of file opposition OF the Lower

ties on coffee mud petroleum. The Emperor
has reserved his decision.
1 The Eastern War.
ATTEMPT TO SECURE a MODIFICATION OF THE
RUSSIAN CONDITIONS.
! LONDON, january 24.-The statement in a
dispatch from Vienna, published In this
mornings Daily Telegraph, that Count
Andrassy, while acknowledging that the
Russian conditions sufficiently respect Aus
tria's interest, discovered among them what
he fears will be q casts beIi for England,
| and has opened negotiations with the view
OF modifying the Russian demands,
amounts to this That the Count Andrassy,
fearing be saw reason for Ensland's veto Of
1 the conditions. has undertaken to secure
their modification, and in this has secured
Prince Bismarck's support. The latter
statement, however, the correspondent adj
mits to be mere supposition.
VIEWS OF GERMAN NEWSPAPERS.
The utterances OF the semi-ofiicially-in-
spired German newspapers Tor those COM
monty reputed to be SOY are very conflict
| ing. thus: The Berlin Provincial Core
| spondence, which is the organ OF the Home
Office, believes that peace will be secured.
| The Berlin Post, which is conservative,
trusts the Car will not occupy CONSTANT
nople, because in that case England must
| interfere. The Attegmeine Zeitu1g, re-
puted to be Bismarck's special mouth
piece, says the eventual entry Of the Rus
SLAMS into Constantinople cannot longer be
| regarded as impracticabc. The National
Zeitung, organ OF the National Liberal
party, also believes that the Russians intend
to go to Constantinoplc.
PROBABLE EFFECT OF RUSSIAN OCCUPATION OF
CONSTANTINOPLE.
II the Russians attempt to go to Gallipoii
or Constantinople, there is hardly doubt
that the British ministry will interfere, if
supported by 4 majority Of Parliament, and
they probably will be, although the most
advanced section Of the opposition in both
houses would not regard the occupation Of
Constantinople as an interference with Brit
ish interests, OF grounds for hostile action.
Mean time
THE MILITARY SITUATION OF THE TURKS
is not so desperate as it seemed during the
past few days OF panic. Nevertheless, the
Porte is very anxious for cessation OF
hoStlities, notwithstanding Sulciman Pc
sha's army is safe, and the preparations for
the defence OF the short line across the Pc
nnsula at Tchataladia are well advanced.
on TO GALLlPoLr
LONDON, January 24.-The st. Petersburg
1gence RuSsc contradicts the report that
the Russian corps would march upon Gal
lipoli. 1t says "The Imperial Govern
ment is aware OF the importance England
attaches to Gallpoli. 1t has no interest in
touching this point, which is not within
the sphere Of her operations. twill neither
be occupied nor attacked, unless q regular
Turkish army should be concentrated there;
in which case it would be impossible to leave
such force Oh our flank"
GNote.-This implies an intention to 60
to Constantinople and Galipoli, since Tur-
KEYS regular army is concentrating there.
Most of these semi-official utterances are
probably meant to bring 4 pressure on
Turkey and England-the one to accept the
terms offered and the other to consent to
such acceptance
LONDON, January PA Russian official

ton OF Suleiman Pasha's army, consisting
Of 1000 men, was captured on the 18th in,

C,,1a

Generals Skobeloff and Kazurof. The Rus
slams captured ninety-seyen guns"
THE PEACE COMPLICATIONS DISCUSSED IN TIE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, January 24-7 p. Mn the
House OF Commons to-day, after Sir Stafford
Northcote's notification, the Marquis Of
Harrington, leader OF the Liberal party in
the House, asked how Sir Stafford would
reconcile the inconsistency Of this with the
promise made on the first night Of the ses-
SIGN not to make the proposal until the con-
ditions OF peace were received, and whether
he would make any other statement calcu-
lated to allay the anxiety sure to be raised
by the notice.
Sir Stafford Northcote reminded the
House that he expected on the first night to
know the terms OF peace within two days.
A week, however, had elapsed since, and
not. only were the Government not in pos
session of the terms Of peace, but consider
able Russian forces were still advancing.
Therefore, the Government think they can
not longer delay the proposal.
In the House of Lords, Lord Beaconsfeld,
in response to q question put by the Duke
OF Argyle, spoke in the same strain as did
Sir Stafford Northcote in the House OF Com
-, Il licf5n nfl
England was not going to be dictated to by
any other Power.
The Earl Of Carnarvon, tbe colonial Sec
rotary, and Lord Derby, were not present.
It was rumored in the lobby that the Earl
OF Carnarvon had resigned. Great excite
ment prevails.
