men who visited New Orleans last
November, are to be indicted at
New Orleans for persuadiug the
Returning Board to falsify returns.
1t is asserted, says this correspon-
dent, that Louisianians are dis
posed to make serious trouble; that
Nichols intends to pardon the Re-
turning Board when convicted,
provided they will give up certain
records that Madison Wells is hid
ing, subject to the orders of the
prosecution and will turn States
evidence. Those who will be in
dicted are Stoughton, Sherman,
Garfield, Matthews, Kelley, White
of Pennsylvania, and Job Steven.
son of Cincinnati. Yesterday af-
ternoon Garfield received private
dispatch in the House, stating that
he, Sherman and Matthews had
been indicted. The news gave
him a nervous attack. The dis
patch is, however, believed to be
premature, but it is also believed
that the indictments will be found.
Consultations among parties con-
cerned are numerous. Anderson's
private secretary, Desmarios, is
understood to he here with bum
die of documents, demanding pro-
lection from the administration.

graph lines are interrupted. 1t is
reported that they are advancing

PARIS, Jan. 31.-Le Gaulois de-
clares it has authentic information
from Berlin that the three Emper-
ors' alliance is re-established, Rus
STA, at the request of Germany, hav-
ing modified the peace conditions
obnoxious to Austria.
LONDON, Jan. 3l.-A st. Peters,
burgh correspondent telegraphed
yesterday as follows: 81 can state
positively that the Russian Gov
eminent has received no intelli-
gence of the signing of an armis-
tice."
A special from Athens says that

English Matter.
LONDON, Jan. Silt is stated
that question is to he asked in
the House of Commons tonight
respecting the correspondence be-
tween Gladstone and Negrapoutis.
Gladstone some time ago was ac-
cused of melting the Greeks to at
tack Turkey. He related the charge
and challenged the Daily TeLe-
graph, which printed the charge, to
produce its informant. 1t is re-
ported that the question tonight
will elicit the fact that Layard, am
bassador at Constantinople, furn-
ishod the charge to the Telegraph.
Anxiety about the Treaty.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-The situation
does not brighten any. This morn
ing the secrecy concerning the de-
lay in concluding the armistice
still continues and will increase the
irritation and suspicion. There
are singular contradictions in
official and semi-of1icial state
ments; one from the Forte is
that the Turkish ENJOYS accepted
terms and concluded peace eight
days ago, since which time nothing
official has been heard from them;
another is from Russia, and is semi
official, that everything is all right
but that there have been delays in
the transmission of the results.
Something is evidently wrong.
One explanation that is being re-
ceived is that a secret understan nd
ing exists between the Porte and
the Russians, and that the an
nouncement of an armistice is be-
ing delayed to allow Rus
sia to complete her militia
ry preparations necessary to
carry the agreement into effect.
There has been a large and swift
concentration of troops north of
the Balkans who, if negotiations
are being made in good faith, are
not needed. The greatest secrecy
seems to prevail everywhere. At
the front, 4 good deal of angry pro-
test is being heard from Austria.
A Runner THAT Peace Negotiations
are Faded.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Rotter-
dam Courant publishes, under re-
serve, private telegram from Con-
stantinopie, which does not obtain
credence, asserting that peace me-
gotiations have been broken off and
that the Turks will resist to the
last extremity, and that foreign
am bassaders are taking measure
for the protection of Christians.
Agitation in England.
LONDON, Jan. 3l-4:30 P. MA
meeting was advertised for 8
O'Clock this afternoon at the City
Terminus Hotel, Cannon street, to
protest against the supplementary
vote OF e6,000,000. Long before the
advertised hour the hotel and ada
cent streets and open spaces were
filled with crowds which cheered,
sang patriotic songs and held i'm.
promptu meetings in support of The
Government policy. The proprie-
tors OF the hotel called on the pc
lice, but the small squad sent in re.
Spouse to their request had no effect
on the crowd. Several public rooms
in the hotel were Quilted. No at
tempt was made to hold an anti
credit meeting.
