WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.
The House Committee ON Post Offices
and Post Roads had very animated dis
cussion to-day on the proposed increase
of compensation to letter-carriers. The
only opposition came from Mr.. Cannon,
of Illinois, who deprecated all legislation
in the interest of cities, and then pro.
ceeded TO show that the increase was not
necessary by alluding TO a conversation
| that he had recently with the postmaster
at Chicago. At this junctnre, MIR. Free
man, Of Pennsylvania, who, during the
/ recess, had received replies from about
thirty postmasters of the leading cities OF
the country. produced letter from the
Chicago postmaster, wherein that off ci al
took exactly the opposite ground to that
stated by Mr.. Cannon.

From 100000 to $50, 900 is the yearly
income of Mrs. Lord, formerly Mrs.
Hicks, according to a statement by
her relatives, published in the Amenid
Times. If this is true Mr.. Lord may
be considered to have got the best of
the financial part of the contract, and
perhaps some people will now charge

EFFECT OF THE QUEENS SPEECH

= -
LoNDoN, Jan. 10. 1873. !.
A correspondent at Pera states that the
Turkish delegates metz the Grand Duke
Nicholas at Tlrnova-Semenli, and preli.
minary notes were exchanged. @ig i
The Grand Duke then announced that
he had decided to treat only at Adriano-
pie, which should be Immediately eva
cuated. The delegates having sssented
orders were telegraphed to Djemil Pacha
TO evacuate Adrianople. rrl.f II
Upon this decision being communica-
ed to the foreign Consnls ut Adriauople
they telegrapked to their Ambassa-
dors for intructiens and were ordered to
remain and protect their countrymen.
Djemil Pacha then prepared 70 retire
upon the fortified lines before Adriano-
pie, whore reiuforcements are now con-
centrating. The Russians viii probably
arrive at Adriapoplein tive days, Tinor-
va-Semel being thirty-five Kilometres
distant therefrom. Negotiations will
then begin. Il is generally thought here
that the wisest policy is for Turkey to
make peace At once. ,4rHnfar,Y p .rs

Victoria telegraphed to the sultan that
