Open Market Purchases
New YORK, April 2d.-The
Worlds Washington special says
that Luttrell introduced in the
House to-day a bill to authorize
the Secretary of the Navy TO pur-
chase plate iron in open market,
without advertising for bids, at the
lowest market price, subject to the
usual Inspection and tests, and re-
pealing all acts inconsistent with
this. In view, however, of the
abuse of this system of open pur-
chase under Robesou, now under
investigation by Committee of
the House, it is not likely that
many members of the present Con-
gress will vote for this proposition.

LONDON, April "A St. Peters.
burg dispatch states that Lord
Derby's resignation of the Foreign
Office was a complete surprise and
caused an immense sensation in
official circles. Lord Derby. says
the dispatch, Is reproached for hav-
ing misled Russia and England by
going as far as he did in direction
which lie disapproved.
A Vienna dispatch says that, in
consequence Of Lord Derby's resig-
nation and the calling out of the
reserves, Austria has ceased her eff
forts to effect compromise about
the Congress, feeling sure that Rus
sia will not yield to England's de-
mands now when doing SO would
seem somewhat like submitting be-
fore q threat; but what may not be
possible now may become so later,
rs the Interruptions in regard to
the Congress and the order for the
mobilization of the reserves in
England need not be followed at
once by an actual collision between
the two powers, and the conviction
may be forced upon them that,
after all, the Congress offers the
only possible chance Of q peaceful
| settlement.
The impression Is that, whatever
may have originally been the OBJ
ject of General Ignatieff's mission,
he confined himself in fact to CIV
ing and receiving information, and
returns to st. Petersburg to report
what he has heard. He probably
| discovered that Austria is too anx-
ious for an European condemna-
ton of the treaty Of San Stefano to
enter into any bargain about it
with Russia alone, which would
seem to have given it Austrian
sanction.
Herr Tisza's visit here was ar
ranged before Saturdays demon
stration in the Hungarian Diet, and
Is not, therefore, In consequence of
it, but it may be supposed that
Tisza will take an opportunity to
represent to Count Andrassy the
state of public opinion in Hungary.
