A NEW EUROPEAN ALLIANCE.
Between Russia and Turkey and Prab-
ably France.

London, Jan. pa despatch to the
"Pall Mall Gazette" from Constanti-
nople, dated yesterday, says that an
offensive and defensive alliance has
been concluded between Russia and
Turkey. The "Pall Mall Gazette" cor
respondent adds that the treaty was
signed at Constantinople, and that the
ratifcations were exchanged at St.
Petersburg between Aarej Pasha and
the Gar. The basis of the treaty is
declared to be on the lines of the
Unkiarskelessi agreement of 1883, by
which Turkey agreed, in the event OF
Russia goin to war, to close Dar-
dannelles to war ships of all nations.
This treaty was soon abandoned owing
to the refusal of the powers to recog-
nize it.
The Pail Mall Gazette correspond
ent also saysthat the French Ambassa-
dor, Cabon, conferred with the Sultan
yesterday, and that its is probable
France win be included in the new al
lance.

THE HOUSE RULES ADOPTED.
The Tucker Method of Counting a
Quorum is Accepted.

Washington, Jan 23.-The House re-
sumed the consideration Of the rules
and disposed Of the last one offered by
the committee. 1t substituted for the
quorum-counting rule of the 51st Con-
gress the method of compelling the
attendance OF a quorum, proposed IN
the 46th Congress by j. Randolph
Tucker. with some notifications.
1t was not until the rules of the Dist
Congress stood adopted, with the few
notifications reported from the com
mittee, that something like excite
ment was engendered by an eloquent
speech from Mr.. Dolliver (Rep., Iowa..
lie taunted the Democrats with at least
acquiescing in the adoption of all the
principles embodied in the rules of the
51st Congress, against which they had
raised their voices in 1890. This speech
drew forth an indignant reply from
Ex-Speaker Crisp, in the course of
which he reviewed the whole history
of the controversy, and charged the
other side with trying to make polit-
ical capital by false pretenses.

On cross-eXamination it was shown
that she had made a different state

since. She looked at the floor all
the while and seemed to not know
anything about it. She made bad
impression generally. The defense

This concluded the Bells defense.
The defendant Brantley will not put

had finished putting down a set of holes
and both men went into the last drift

a sufficient quantity OF the explosive to
use in blasting the holes. Five min
