SILVER BIDS.

Bids for the sale OF silver were opened
to-day at the Treasury Department, and
over 100000 ounces were purchased at
prices slightly below London.
Secretary Schurz to-day decided that no
portion OF the money appropriated by
Congress for public surveys during the
present year can be used for the purpose
OF tracing former surveys in the field, to
aid the investigation of deprcdations upon
public timber lands, etc. He holds that
there is no warrant for the Department to
add to the amount granted by Congress for
the prosecution Of that investigation, the
appropriation for it having been specific
and definite.

Russia md Turkey.

The reception of the Russian terms OF
peace by the British Cabinet effected a
change in the orders to the commander Of
the British fleet, and the vessels will stop
at the mouth of the Dardanelles. In the
House OF Lords the Prime Minister ex-
planned that in ordering the fleet to the OAR
danelles the desire was to protect British
interests alone, but since the receipt OF the
Russian proposal orders had been sent to
the Admiral to remain in Besika bay.
The Earl OF Carnarvon made full expla-
nation OF his reasons for resigning, which
were the orders for moving the fleet. which
he felt was a violation OF the principles OF
neutrality hitherto governing the Cabinet.
The Earl OF Beaconstcld made reply, sta
ting that the orders to the fleet were only
given when it was felt that British interests
were endangered by the advance OF the Rus
sian troops toward Gallipoli and CONSTANT
nople.
The Patl-MaN Gazette considers the Rus
sian terms as hard as they could we'll be,
and amountto virtual destruction of the
Turkish empire, and reduction OF the
Sultan to the condition OF Russian vassal.
If the designations OF Lords Derby and
Carnaryon are withdrawn we may conclude
that no efficient resistance will be made by
England to whatever agreement the Car
and Sultan may come to.
The Russian Ambassador had long in
terview with Lord Derby in London on
FRIDAY.
