Turkey.
- THE CZAR’S PROPOSALS.

LONDON, May 23.—It is authoritatively stated
that Count Schouvaloff brings from the Czar
counter proposals, couched in. conciliatory
terms, proposing that all questions pertaining
to European Turkey be submitted and treated
by the proposed European Congress, and that
all questions relating to Turkey in Asia be made
the subject of a separate convention between
England and Russia.

RUSSIAN PRECAUTIONS.

A St. Petersburg correspondent says: As we
are still far from the certainty of peace, though
the general conviction and sentiment in favor
thereof is powerful, military preparations are
being pushed forward energetically. Even if
war is avoided, it is thought this will be useful
in making weight for Russian influence at the
Congress. Gen. Todleben’s activity and his
importunity about the fortresses must not
therefore be regarded as indicating a failure of
Count Schouvaloif’ s mission.

THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE. '

A correspondent at Vienna telegraphs: It is
true, the result of Count'Schouvalofi’s efforts
will probably turn out to be that he has secured
a basis for further negotiations. Meantime,
the preparations before Constantinople con-
tinue energetically. The Russians continue to
exhibit a tendency to gradually creep up to-
wards the capital, keeping the Turks constant-
ly on the alert. Fresh reinforcements are con-
stantly going to Bulgaria and Roumelia. Odessa
is swarming with soldiers, and is shipping
troops. Guns and stores. are going thence to
-Burgas, on the Black -Sea, or by the Bender
Railway to Roumelia and Bulgaria.

. THE TURKS
are not idle. They brought troops across the
Bosporus from Scutari until 130 battalions now‘
man the northern lines. Heavy -sized guns
have been moved from the Bosporus batteries
into these lines, while the batteries on the
Asiatic side have been strengthened so as to
form, in conjunction with the fieet‘, 9- line of
defenses to which they might retire in case of
need, though they are now more than ever con-
fident of their ability to hold their positions.

A LETTER FROM osMAN PASHA.

The Vakit and Bassiret newspapers of Con-
stantinope publish a letter from Osman Pasha,
denying that he said Constantinople was not
susceptible of defenseagainst a considerable
Russian force, and’ declaring that he would
never be a party to the disgrace of retiring be-
fore an enemy much weakened by illness and
fatigue. A Vienna. correspondent says: This
letter expresses the feeling pervading the army
at Constantinople. .

RUSSIAN REINFORCEMENTS. _

A dispatch from Trebizonde states that the
Russians at Erzeroum have received are-en-
forcement of 10,000 men. Putrid fever is rag-
ing in the garrison at this place. ' The insur-
rection in Lazistan against the Russians is
spreading. It is estimated that between 10,000
-and 15,000 Lazis are under arms. These are
prosecuting a guerrilla warfare against the
Russians about Artvin and Batoum.

A SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATE

for the expenses of the Indian expeditionary
force has een issued. The amount fixed 18
£748,000. The Navy estimate for the trans-
ortation of Indian troops, issued to-day, is

included. Count Schouvalofif had an inter-
view ,with Lord Salisbury, Foreign Secretary,

tO'd&y.

CONSTANTINOPLE SINGED.
COSTANTINOPLE, May 23.-—A fire last night
within the precincts of the sublime porte des-
tro ed the greater portion of the buildings.
inc uding those of the ministers of justice and
council of State. The ministry of foreign
affairs, the grand vizierate and the archives
were saved. The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is believed to be accidental.

WHY RUSSIA MUST YIELD.
LONDON, May 23.—The Dimes, in a leadin ed-
itorial article says: It becomes every ay a.
matter of more and more imperative necessity
for Russia to obtain recognition by the other
Powers of some modified arrangement, under
which she will be relieved from what is practi-
cally a state of war. This can only be done by
a full discussion of the San Stefano treaty in a
European Congress. Russia already knows
simply the condition on which alone England
can enter such 3. Con 'ess. It may be modi-
fied, possibly, in form, ut in substance it must
be conceded. '
ANDRASSY AND HIS COLLEAGUES.

A Vienna correspondent says Count Andrassy
and his colleagues have gradually come round
to England’s views about the terms on which
the Congress should meet, as well as on
many ot or points. Germany is distrusted.
Prince Bismarck, whose influence here was
once Omnipotent, now frequently tenders ad-
vice which is unheeded.

A PERA CORRESPONDENT SAYS

the Ambassies here are hopeful of peace. It is
believed the party of conciliation is gaining su-
premacy in the Councils of the Sultan also.

CONSTANTINOPLE TRANQUIL.

LONDON, May 23.-A Pera correspondent says
the Russians continue to levy recruits through-
out Thrace. Greeks who are enrolled as Bul-
garians are desperate at the ignoring of their
nationality. onstantinople is tranquil. The
momentary e. citemcnt: caused by Ali Suavi’s
insane proceedings on Monday has disappear-
ed and apprehensions of a Russian coup de maz'~n
have been soothed by arrangements now under
negotiation for establishing a. line of‘ demarca-
tion between the two camps.

STILL ADVANCING. .
CoNs'rAN'rINoPLE, May 23. —- The Russians
again advanced their entire line slight1y,~with-
out, however, violating the neutral zone. Im-
mense quantities of war material continue to
reach the Russian camp.

SHOTS EXCHANGED.
PERPIG-NAM, May 23.-—It is reported there was
great popular agitation in Barcelona Wednes-
day. The military and populace exchanged

shots. ~

ment. Count Schouva. oif’s communicat on
will be laid before the Cabinet to-day.
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

LONDON, May 24.-—-In the. House of Commons
last night, -the debate on raisin troops was re-
sumed and continued until 9. ate hour. Mr.
Gross and Sir Stafford Northcote spoke on
behalf of the Government. The former
spoke in a. hopeful tone, but dwelt upon
t e necessity of secrec at the present
important juncture. r. Roebuck vio-
lently attacked the opposition factions
conduct. Mr. Holmes, Mr. Foster and Lord
Hartington replied, dwelling upon the con-
stitutional action of the Government. Lord
Hartington’s resolution that ‘ ‘no force be rais-
ed or kept by the Crown in time of peace save
within India, without the sanction of Parlia-
ment, ’ ’ was re'ected by a vote of 347 to 226. The
amendment 0 Sir Michael Hicks Beach was
adopted with division, as follows: ‘ ‘This House
being of the opinion that the constitutional con-
trol of Parliament over the raising and employ- _
ment of the military forces of the Crown 18
fully secured by the provisions of law, and
by the undoubted power of this House to grant
or refuse supplies, considers it unnecessary
and inexpedient to afiirm a resolution tending
to weaken the hands of her Majesty's Govern-
ment in the present state of affairs.’ ’

sEMI-OFFICIAL.
_ The Post publishes the following in semi-ofii-
cial form: Count Schouvaloffbrings assurance
that the disposition in St. Petersburg for peace
quite equals that in London. He is also the
bearer of a certain expression of willingness
to meet our views and of a eneral scheme of
arrangement for reconciliation. Russia, how-
ever, declines to pass the . sponge over
the treaty of San Stefano, but is prepared to
discuss in a Congress its various sti ulations.
The Count brin s assurances that en. Tod-
leben has been orbidden-to make any attempt
to surprise Constantinople, and also that the
Russian Government is not connected with the
manifesto recently issued by 8. committee for
equipping cruisers. .
THE POST'S ARTICLE CONTINUES»:

“If Russia authorized the expenditure of
4 ,000,000 roubles to equip cruisers on the other
side of the At-la.nt;ic,that must be taken as equiv- .
alent against our summons of Indian troops.
The next few days will probably witness the
inception of pour parlors which may ultimately
lead to bases for more definite negotiations. ' '

RUSSIAN TRANSPORTS:

VIENNA, May 24.--Telegrams received here
from Bucharest assert the Russians are char-
tering ships to transport troops from Odessa to
.Burgos. Nmc regiments have left MOSCOW for
Roumania. '
POINTS FROM PESTH. 

PESTH, May 23.—An Austrian regiment has
been ordered to occupy Adakelh on Saturday,

ube fortresses.

THE LATEST.

LONDON, May 24.—A Berlin dispatch says that

1gIl8.t_lOI1. It 1s said. however, that Falk per-
sists 1_n resignin . p

A dispatch from Madrid says that Gen. J ova- ‘
lnéay become Minister of War on his return

- A Vienna dispatch says the rumors of a dif-
ference between Russia and Austria, concern-
ing Montenegro, are unfounded, although it is
possible such may arise. .

A correspondent at San Stefano, telegraphing
on the 22d, is very hopeful in regard to the
meeting of the Congress. The headquarters
will not leave there at present.

PARLIAMENTARY ‘PROCEEDINGS .

BERLIN, May 23.—Pa1-liament to-day began
debate on the first reading of the a.nt.i-socialist
bill. The Conservatives and Imperialists spoke
for, and the Ultramontanes, Progressists and
Herr Benningsen, in behalf of National Liber-
als, spoke against the bill.

Herr Bcnningsen said: “Instead of introduc-
ing new legislation, apply existing laws more
stringently. If found deficient, we will be will-
ifng next autumn to assist in remedying their dc-

ects. '

: Count Von Eulenburg, Minister, of the In-
terior, declared the bill was urgently necessary
for the welfare of the State. The Government-
finds it necessary to impose silence on the So-
cialists and to pursue its labors in peace. After
what Herr Benningsen said the people must not
complain if the utmost stringency is practiced
in executingexisting laws.

THE PLATFORM .

The following is the platform adopted:

The Democracy of Pennsylvania unanimous-
ly declare: That the Republican party, its
measures-and its men, are responsible for the
financial distress, the misery and want that
now exist. It has had control of the legislation
of the country, and has enacted and perpetu-

ated a policy that has enriched the few and im-

overished the many. Its system of finance
Iias been one of favors to the moneyed monop-
oly, of unequal taxation, of exemption of
classes, of high rates of interest, and of re-
morseless contraction, which - has de-
stroyed every enterprise that gave em-
ployment to labor. Its present hold
upon the Federal power was secured by fraud,
perjury and forgery. Its claims are unjust and
its practices the immoral. They distress the
people and destroy their substance. The only
remedy for these evils is in an entire change of
policy and the dethronement of those in power;
and we resolve, That further contraction of the
volume of United States legal tender notesis
unwise and unnecessary, and they should be
received for custom duties and re-issued as
fast as received. Gold, silver and United
States legal tender notes at par there-
with are the just basis for ar circu-
lation. A close connection of tie Federal
Government with the business interests of the
people through national banks tends to mo-
nopoly and centralization; but in changing the
system of uniformity of notes. security of the
noteholder and protection of the capital in-
vested should be provided for. 'I‘ren.sury notes
issued in exch an e for bonds bearing a low rate
of interest is thegbest form in which the credit-
of the Government can be given pa er curren-
cy. Labor and capital have equa demands
upon and equal responsibilities to law. Com-
merce andmanufactures should be encouraged,
so that steady employment and fair wages may
be yielded to labor, whilst safety of investment
and amoder-ate return for its use belong to cap-
ital. Violence or breaches of order in support
of the real or supposed rights of either
should be promptly suppressed by the strong
arm of the law. The Republican party, 1) its
legislation in 1872, which reduced the tari up-
on bituminous coal from $1 25 to 75c per ton,
and upon iron, steel, wool, metals, pa er,
glass, leather, and all manufactures of euc l of
them, 10 per cent, struck a fatal blow at the in-
dustries and labor of Pennsylvania. The pub-
lic lands are the common property of the peo-
ple, and they should not be sold to speculators
nor granted to railroads or other cor rations,
but should be reserved as homestea for net-
ual settlers. Our public debt should be held at
home, and the bonds representing it ought to
be of small denominations, in which the sav-
ings of the masses may be safely invested.
A thorough investi ation into the elect-
oral frauds of 1876 s iould ‘be made. Fraud
should be exposed, truth vindicated, and crim-
inals punished, but. We 0 pose any attack upon
the Presidential title as angerous to our insti-
tutions and fruitless in its results. The Repub-
lican party, controlling the legislation of the
State, has refused to execute ma.ny of the re-
forms of the new Constitution. Among other
things it has neglected and refused to compel
the acceptance of all of its provisions by the
corporations of the State—to prevent undue and
unreasonable discrimination on charges for
transportation of freight and assengers, and
without abatement. or drawbac to any, to give
to all equal means for transporting the raw ma-
terial of the State in such manner and to such
points as they may prefer, and to publish in
good faith monthly statements of where the
money of the people was kept. The
Republican party ‘creates new ofliees
and adds enormous perquisites to others, and
fills them with fa\'o1'ites, whose chief duty it is
to manage its political machinery.

Its administration of the State Government
grows more expensive with each year of its
rule. Legislation has been directed by Repub-
lican lobbyists, who in turn manipulate and
contest the nominations of the Republican par-
ty, and its candidates are the creation of u.
Junta, whose decrees are accepted as their re-
versible mnndates of absolute lieretlitary
power. We denounce these . methods, these
measures and these men as unworthy the sup-
port of an honest and a free people, and we in-
vite all, of every shade of political opinion, to
unite with us in delivering the Commonwealth
from their baleful rule.

The Vermont Republicans.

BURLINGTON, VT. , May ‘.?.3.——The Ilepiililictin
State Convention met to—day, with ex-Gov.
John Gregory Smith temporary Cliairinan.

hering to the oft-declared principles of their
