England has refused to take part even in the preliminary conference of ambassadors unless Germany consents to submitting the entire treaty to the Congress. Prince Gort- schakoff reiterates his promise that the treaty shall be communicated to the powers The full Hungarian Delegation have de clared that they would vote for credit, but hoped that the difficulties would be peace fully solved. The Austrian Delegation have voted for 657,000 florins for military pur poses as asked by the Minister of War. The misunderstanding between England and Russia has made no progress towards a settlement. Russians are concentrating on the Aus trian frontier. The Grand Duke Nicholas, in order to avoid the trouble about his escort, proposes to visit the Sultan in the Imperial yacht Eyrklick. The Sultan will return the visit on the yacht. The Railroad Committee of the Senate have agreed to report favorably on the Texas Pacific Railroad bill, without any recommendation as to the Southern Pacific. The bill gives government aid to the road from Fort Worth west, but the road must be built without aid from the western terminus to a point on the Mississippi not north of Memphis. The friends of the road are in high spirits over this action. O’Dona van Rossa delivered his lecture in Toronto to an audience of about one hun dred persons. A continuous volley of stones was thrown at the lecture room but nobody was hurt. Subsequently, however, the mob attacked Cosgrove’s tavern, and hundred? of shots were exchanged between the rioters and tlie crowd inside, while stones were thrown until the furniture and windows of the house were completely shattered. Still later the mob increased largely and attacked Collins’ tavern, up Queen street, where Rossa was believed to be in hiding. The mob was finally quelled, but several police men were injured and about one hundred and fifty rioters more or less wounded. Rossa had to be driven out of town at eleven o’clock at night. A train on the Houston and Texas Ceutra! Railroad was stopped by masked men and robbed on Monday night. About fifteen or twenty shots were exchanged. The express and mail cars were taken i*ossession of and the express clerk was wounded. The thieves made their escape. Several more failures in Europe and this country are reported. The New York State Senate has passed an act repealing the act to provide for specie resumption in that State, January 1st, 1879. Wages have been reduced from 10 to 15 per ceut. at the Pacific Mills of Lawrence, Mass. Secretary Sherman, before the House Fi nance Committee, expressed his opinion that the silver bill aided resumption. It did harm in that it caused the return of bonds from abroad, but good in that it increased confidence in the bonds because our own people took them up iu large quantities. He was strongly opposed to a repeal of the resumption act, but said that specie pay ments could not be permanently maintained without retaining about three hundred mill ion dollars of legal tender notes. The exports of domestic produce from the port of New York during the past week •were the largest for a like period for many years past. Nineteen tobacco cases, in which the par ties were arrested in Surry county, North Carolina, for a violation of the revenue laws, have been compromised, the parties agreeing to pay the amount of the tax as sessed, amounting to $12,000. and to behave themselves hereafter The Department of State has received in formation that over two thousand Cuban insurgents have surrendered, and it is be lieved that those still out will come in and accept the^rms offered. Old animosities between Cubans and Spaniards have disap peared and this is an appropriate time for the introduction of reforms Ions promised to the island. The Cabinet is delighted at the result of the action of the Louisiana Supreme Court, and of Governor Hampton’s support to rev enue officials iu South Carolina. The House Banking and Currency Com mittee have agreed to report a bill allowing national bonds bearing not more than four per cent, interest to replace legal tender notes. Senator Gordon yesterday presented to the Senate a resolution of the City Council of Atlanta favoring Mr. Stephens’ Pacific Rail road bill. Osman Pasha, it is believed, will soon be released by the Russians and will return to Constantinople. The O’Donovan Rossa lecture iu Toronto is pronounced a complete failure. He was verv nervous and came near breaking down entirelv. HI 8 best friends advised him to cut it short. Many prominent Cubans in Havana re cently held a meeting to advocate some ac tion on the part of Cubans to repudiate the late war meeting in New York. They de clared their hearty approval of the terms of peace. The action of the Railroad Committee of the Senate yesterday was the result of a compromise between the Southern Pacific and Texas Pacific roads. The result is not considered overwhelmingly encouraging to the last named line. Gen. George P. Harrison, of Alabama. The Opelika (Ala.) Times suggests Gen. George P. Harrison as the most suitable person to represent that district in Con gress. Gen. Harrison is the son of our esteemed fellow citizen, Gen. George P. Harrison. Shortly after the war, in which he bore a prominent part, he re moved to Alabama, where, after filling a Professorship in Auburn, he en tered upon the practice of the law. Rising to eminence in his profession and gaining the esteem and confidence of the people, he was called to represent his district in the State Con- gtitutional Convention and in the Senate. Gen. Harrison was one of the youngest Brigadiers in the Confederate service, and achieved an enviable reputation for gallantrv and efficiency as a commander. In honoring him the people of Alabama testify their appreciation of true merit. 3Ir. Hill ® course on the silver bill has weaned from him some of his warmest friend* and admirers in the North - For instance, the New York Tribune only a few months Ago could scarcely find words of eulogium strong enough in which to express its admiration for the Hon B H. Hill, the model Southern Statesman. Now it indulges in such de precatory flings as this: "The Hon. Ben. Hill remained on one Bide of the silver question Jong enough enrobe his constituents, and went over in the Other soon enough to disgust a many Other people. ‘Straddled to will now fit another tombstone/' Has the Tribune also been bribed to abuse Mr. Hill? Air Hayes, in his first address as Gov ernor of Ohio, said: “In my judgment, Ohio Will never consent that the whites of tlie South, a large majority of whom were lately in rebellion, shall exercise in T government of the nation as much oolitical power, naan for man, as the lame number of white citizens of Ohio." And he has kept his word faithfully. There are hardly enough men left in Ohio to plant the com and pack the pork. Pacific Railroad Subsidies. Just at this moment, when the subject | of government aid to Pacific railroad ; s j occupying the attention of Congre- it may be neither uninteresting not t- profitable to look for a moment at he vast sums already expended by the gov ernment in this way, and at the prosrz ct ahead of their ever being repaid. The bonds issued to the Central Pacific amount to $37,85o,<!80. These bonds bear six per cent, interest and are to run for thirty years. The aggregate interest on them in that time will be $50,140,224, forming with the principal a total debt of $77,995,904. The bonds issued to the Union Pacific amount to $27,236,512. They also ran for thirty years, and in that time the in terest on them will amount to $49,025,- 721, a total debt from that road of $76,- 202,233. Thus the grand total of indebt edness which will in thirty years be due by these two roads, counting principal and interest, will amount to the enormous sum of $154,258,137. From this sum there is to lie de ducted one-half of all due from the government to the roads for services ren dered in transportation of troops and supplies. These, it is stated, up to the present time amount to $7,342,969. It is clear that at this rate the debt will never he cancelled, and the Senate Com mittee on Railroads have concluded that it has become necessary to force the roads to set apart a certain sum each year for its extinguish ment, and have therefore reported the following plan to accomplish that pur pose: Each company is to pay into a inking fund $1,000,000 a year till the year 1900—this fund to bear interest at the rate of six per cent., which interest is to lie invested semi-annually as it ac crues. The fund thus established will, it estimated, in the year 1900, be large enough to pay off all the interest and about $4,000,000 of the principal, leav- due and unpaid $51,000,000; and this balance to he divided into fifty-one equal instalments of $1,000,000 each, one of which shall be paid every year there- afler. If the roads accept this proposi tion. the first payment into the sinking fund is to be made on the 1st of October next; if they refuse to accept it, or neg- t to comply with its provisions, the government is to proceed to collect the payments by law. It Avill be seen from this that even should the plan of the committee lie carried out it will be seventy-three years from this time before the debt can be ex tinguished. British and American Legislatures. The Philadelphia Trees has an inter “ting compaiison of the respective Le gislatures of the United States and of England as regards the personnel of their pcctivc members. There are 76 mem bers of the United States Senate, and 293 members of the House of Represent/ tives—total 369. As many as 242 of this total, being more than two-thirds, are lawyers. The British Parliament con sists of exactly 500 hereditary noblemen, of all ranks, in the House of Lords, and |052 elected members in the House of ( ornmons—total in both legislative cham bers 1,152. Only about ten noblemen in the upper house have practiced as law yers. In the Ilous6 of Commons 239 out of the 652 members are active or re tired members of the army or navy; 176 connected with the nobility; 145 railway men; 102 official, it being par! of the British system that the principal members of the government shall sit in one or other of the legislative chambers, there to answer such questions as may be pus to them, and to conduct the min isterial action in Parliament as regards taxation, expenditure, law making, etc. One hundred auu twenty members of 2* House of Commons are lawyers; one hundred and twenty connected with manufactures, commerce and trade; thirty-two with money.; seventy-eight literary, professional and scientific. The liquor interest (spirits, ale and porter) has twenty direct representatives, there being, however, sixteen brewers to one distiller, the odd three being set down as “brewsrs end bankers.” No member of Parliament in either bouse receives any salary out of the public purse. Real Estate In Exchange for City Bonds. It will be seen by his advertisement in another column lhat Mr, David R. Dillon offers for sale several valuable proper ties, including the building on Whitaker street adjoining the Morning News building, in exchange for Savannah city bonds. Sir. Dillon has the reputation of being a shrewd business man, and his proposal to sell valuable real estate for city bonds may be regarded as pretty strong evidence that he considers such securities, under the refunding scheme proposed by Council, a good and safe investment. As the new bonds will be abundantly secured, the payment of in terest and principal specially provided for, and the bonds exempted from taxa tion. we are not surprised to learn that the proposition of Council Is re ceiving very general approbation as the best arrangement that could possibly tic* made to relieve the city in its present financial exigency, and at the same time give ample and certain security to her creditors. AVe are grati fied to learn that within the few days past several holders of considerable amounts of city bonds have signified their willingness to accept the terms pro posed by Council for the readjustment of the 1 winded debt of the city. The Azor Here at Last. Charleston Nexct and Courier, Tuesday- At an early' hour yesterday morning it was announced that the long expected Liberian bark Azor had arrived in port. She came in during the night, and an chored in the stream at a point almost directlv opposite the northern end of the East Ratten'. The news spread like wild fire, and by shortly after daylight crowds of colored men find women were gathered on the water front in situations commanding a view of the vessel, which was gaily decorated with flags which fluttered in the brisk breeze. Before long the sendees of a tug were procured, and the Azor was towed to the head of Brown’s wharf, which was speedily crowded by g dense throng of colored people and a few wbibx. Among the former there were mauy differ*, faces of opinion regarding her. Those op posed to tlje exodus scheme shook their heads, and opiftefj that she was rotten, small, unseaworthy and generally dan gerous. Those who favor tilt plan were enthusiastic in her praise, admiring eveiy- thing about her from truck to kelson. The fact is that the Azor is an exceed ingly peat ldoking craft, full clipper- uiliid, a Q d of 4H 97-100 tons buraen. She came Boston 4.7 th unfavorable winds in fourteen tu.J’®- and her Captain says that he expects to maJ? e Monrovia in twenty-five days from this poit. This will be her one hundredth voyage acro^J the Atlantic. She will sail with a crew of ten men besides the Captain, and ex pects to leave in about a fortnight, when she has unloaded her present light cargo and made arrangements for the accommo dation of the emigrants. Inside the Azor is excellently fitted up, possessing the comforts and appoint ments of a first class passenger steamer. She has nineteen berths for cabin pas sengers, saloon, dining room, dressing rooms, pantry, etc. For steerage pas sengers she is provided with one hundred ana forty double berths. Carpet-Bag Corruption. The price for votes in the South Caro lina Legislature, under carpet-bag rule, varied largely. Corrupt jobs were con stantly up, and the members generally demanded pay for their votes. So eager had they become for pay. that a proper act could not be got through without the use of money. It cost a railroad com pany $40,000 to get a resolution authoriz ing the construction of a branch road to a second reading. When Solomon, bank er, grocer, etc., had his bill before the Legislature for an allowance of $125,000, the price of a carpet-bag vote, or for one of the leading colored members, was $625. But a poor plantation freed- man, who could not read, and did not know the meaning of any bill or resolu tion, was bought fora jug of whisky; another one got some dried fish; two wanted molasses, and being a little per sistent in their demands, secured one barrel each. A number of them got a package of “groceries,’’ the value of which in the evidence is not stated. A colored meml>er who could rise in hi seat, call the “previous” question, move to adjourn, and demand that his claims should be “reqpgnized," re ceived fifty dollars. Occasionally a negro was smart enough to get $100. But generally they were put off with “groceries,’ dried fish, whisky or molasses. The carpet-baggers, who had influence over squads of poor ignorant negroes, went for high game, and rarely demanded less than $500. But the price was not of so much consequence to the corruptionists, as they were able to con jure up a supplementary appropriation bill by which money enough was taken from the treasury tc pay for bribing the members to vote for their stealing. While the corruption was going on, an other and more select set got an act passed authorizing the refunding of $0,500,000 of State bonds. They had the new bonds executed, sold them, and stole the money, not redeeming a dollar of the old bonds which the new ones were intended to take up. The credit of the State was poor, and every device was resorted to in order to raise the money. Treasury cer tificates were issued, and sold at great discounts; and three taxes were levied in one year upon excessive assessments, till people, in many cases, abandoned their property. The bloody shirt was waved to keep the plunderers in power, and the United States army protected them, in the name of “law” and patriotism. BY TELEGRAPH. NOON TELEGRAMS. FOREIGN NOTES. THE AUSTRIAN* VOTE OF CREDIT. Eugland Still Demands that the Whole Treaty be Submitted to the Congress. The Grand Duke Nicholas* to Constantinople. Visit Enlistment of Roys in the United States Naval Service. By sections 1418, 1419 and 1420 of the Revised'Statutes of the United States, it is provided that with the consent of parents or guardians minors between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years may be enlisted in the United States Naval Sendee, to serve until they reach the age of twenty-one. The object of such enlistments is to secure to the service a thoroughly trained corps of robust and intelligent seamen. For this purpose, when the enlistments are made, the l»oys are placed on board a training ship wh^-re they are paid $10 50 per month and one ration, where wholesome discipline is used, and where they are instructed in the elements of a good English educa tion and a thorough and practical know ledge of seamanship. In connection with this subject we have received a communication from Commodore A. K. Hughes, U. S. N., in which he informs us that the Navy De partment has designated the United States ship “New Hampshire,’’ at Port Royal, as a training ship for boys, en listed as above stated. He also says that he is instructed by the Bureau of Equip ment and Recruiting to enlist one hun dred boys on I>oard this ship, where they will be obliged to undergo both physical and mental examinations as to their fit ness for admission into the naval service. Upon their arrivt*! at Port Royal they will be furnished with boms to convey them to the New Hampshire. This is a matter which should com mend itself favorably to the considera tioirof parents and guardians of boys to whom a seafaring life would be accepta ble, especially in these days of hard times and difficulty of finding remunerative employment. Hero an opportunity is offered of securing to able-bodied young Cien a fair English education, a present livelihood and the acquirement of a call ing which may, at the option the per son, be for life, and in which a merito rious ambitious man can certainly se cure promotion. At any rate, since the enlistments are from l»etween the ag£S 2* sixteen and seventeen to twenty-one, those, the most valuable years of every man’s life, can be profitably and advan tageously spent, while all enjoying these advantages secure a good training, which will enable them successfully to fight the battle of life. We merely desire to make mention of the opportunity here offered. The bene fits to l>e conferred are too manifest to need detailed discussion. All that it is necessary to say Is that the opportunity exists, and any one desiring to improve it can obtain full information on the sub ject from Commodore Hughes, or other officers engaged in this special duty. The best plan, however, for those desiring to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue will be to present themselves on tlje training ship for the requisite exami nation. By Coble to the Morning Setct. London. March 19.—Advices from Vienna published in Paris state that England re fused to take part even in the preliminary conference of Ambassadors, until Russia has given a formal engagement that all clauses of the treaty shall be submitted to the Congress.

Nothing, however, is settled, aud the Porte, out of consideration for the other powers, has requested the Grand Duke not to em bark at Bujukdere, where the imperial yacht is now anchored. Prince Henry, of Reus*, the German Am bassador here, has received from his agent at Bujukdere, a denial of the statement that two Russian torpedo boats accompanying the yacht are yet anchored off Bujuk dere. The vessels there are fitted for torpe does, but none are aboard.

It would be in teresting to know if this consignment pro ceeded to the United States or was disem barked at Queenstown. It would not be the first time the latter course had been adopted. It is curious, contemporaneously with this export, that $2,500,000 was shipped last week from New York to this side.” FURTHER REDUCTION OF WAGES IN ENGLAND, Loxdon.

NY. C. Lee in possession of the property; but the issue of thi* writ will be stayed by appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the case will remain on the docket unheard for at least two years. In the meanwhile, it is understood, his claim for compensation will be pressed upon the attention of Congress. Conciliation in South Carolina.— The Charleston New* and Courier is evi dently becoming disgusted with the “conciliation” policy of the present Legislature of that State. It says: “Charleston is to be weighed down by the addition of the black vote of Beau fort. The reffistriding bill has passed its second reading in the House. There is no hope save in a veto, and we do not expect that. Democratic rule dooms Charleston to be represented in Congress by Republicans. :r worse, for years to come. This is mixing the sour with the sweet with a vengeance.

Mills, one of the largest brokers on the street, has sus pended. • The exports of domestic produce from this port for the week ending to-day aggregate $8,154,874, the largest for a like period in many years past. In’the United States Circuit Court, iu the case of Thomas G. Douglass, United State* Treasury clerk, indicted for conspiracy with John A*Grow to defraud the Treasury of the United States, a nolle prow/ni was entered and Douglass was discharged.

William Butler Duncan, President of the Company, said this action would put an end to the litigation, much of which had been very vexatious, and the compromise would take the question out of the courts where it had been for the last five years. The amount which the company stipulated to pay is $25,000. WASHINGTON 'WEATHER PROPHET. Office of the CniEp Signal Observer, Washington, D.

Washington, March 19.—The Department of State is in receipt of official information down to the .‘no tr om the CnlUMl SUtw Consul General at Havana. He report* up to that time the number of surrenders in the Central Department was over two thou sand. The insurgents still unaccounted for in the Eastern aud Los Villas districts are variously estimated at from two thousand to four thousand. The terms given to the in surgents are generally regarded as hon orable to them as to Spain. The rancors and animosities between the Cubans and the Spaniards, which marked the first years of the war, have to a great extent disappeared, and the Consul has no doubt that the maining forces will before long give in their adhesion. The time is on the whole propi tious for the introduction of the long promised reforms on the island. COMPROMISED. Washington, March 19.—The Commis sioner of Internal Revenue has compro mised tbe nineteen important tobacco cases in Surry county, North Carolina, in which the parties offending the revenue laws were arrested several months ago. The cases have been pending in the courts, and now the Commissioner has agreed compromise on condition that the cused shall plead guilty to violation of revenue laws, and sentence will be sus pended during their good behavior. In ad dition to this, the parties under indictment are required to pay $12,000, tbe tax assessed to the government. The action of the Com missioner is concurred iu by the Attorney General, from whom the authority for effecting the compromise is derived. TOE LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD SUITS. Washington, March 19.—The action of the Supreme Court of Iy>uisiana in the return ing board suits, and Hampton's proceedings in support of the revenue officers in South Carolina, were mentioned in the Cabinet to day and elicited expressions of satisfac tion from the Secretaries. The President did not hesitate to say that the events noted should be regarded as an indication of a proper state oi feeling in the South. SECRETARY SHERMAN AND THE RESUMPTION ACT. Washington, March 19.—Secretary Sher man gave an account of his appearance be fore the Senate Finance Committee in op position to the repeal or the resumption act, but the Secretary will not vouchsafe a sentence of what he said in tlie Cabinet or before the committee. NATIONAL BONDS IN PLACE ON LEGAL TEN DERS.

London, March 19.—The Mark Lane Er- press in its review of the corn trade for the past week says: “There has been no inter ruption of spring sowing, as the rainfall is insignificant. The land previously in good condition has been further improved by the dryness of the atmosphere. Winter sown wheat, although somewhat thin on heavy lands, is looking strong and healthy on light soils. The prospect for a good crop is more promising than at the corresponding time for some years past. There is a promising agricultural outlook. The largo arrivals from abroad, and the early reopening of navigation in Northern Europe have exer cised a very depressing effect upon the British corn trade, already deprived of doubtful support, which the warlike politi cal appearances furnished, and with influ ences thus combined upon the side of buyers, lower rates are current for nearly all varieties of cereals and produce. De liveries of English wheat from farmers at the principal markets have been lighter than at any corresponding time in ten years past, but iu face of this fact and the* improved condition of grain, consequent upon the dryer atmosphere, values have receded one shilling to two shillings per quarter. Im ports of foreign wheat into London have been fair. At Liverpool arrivals have been unusually heavy. At both places busi ness is prostrate, the operations of buyers having been paral}'zed by the weight of •resent and prospective supplies. Firmness :as been the leading feature of trade in France. Prices there have undergone a slight improvement, which would indicate that values here are perhaps relatively lower than the situation warrants. The actual de pressing power for the moment is the abstention of millers from buy ing rather than the pressure of for eign supplies, and it seems scarcely possible that business can remain iu the present state of inanition much longer. Feed ing stuffs have shared the general dullness. Lower rates were accepted for all articles except old American inaize, which is getting scarce, and therefore maintained its la-t K iotations with fair arrivals at ports of call. oating cargo trade for wheat improved six pence to a shilling per quarter, with some continental demand. Maize advanced three pence to six pence per quarter. Bariev Is quiet.” SECRETARY SHERMAN BEFORE THE HOUSE FINANCE COMMITTEE. Washington, March 19.—When Sherman was before the Finance Committee the ques tions discussed were with regard to the practicability of specie payment and the effect of the silver bill on resumption, and whether the bill assisted or retarded re sumption, the amount of gold and silver in the Treasury and in the country, and other questions iu that connection. The members made various inquiries, to which the Secretary replied, taking the ground that the remonetization of silver was an aid to resumption. The silver bill did some good and some harm. One way in which it was harmful was in the return of bonds from abroad, but it produced good by increasing foreign confidence in our bonds by reason of the fact that our own people took them np in large quantities. He was strongly oppoeed to the repeal of the resumption act. He stated in reply to further -inquiries that in his opinion the resumption of specie payments could not j be permanently maintained without retain ing the legal tender function for about three , hundred million dollars of United States i notes, or in other words that the legal | tender notes, after reaching par, should be paid out agaiu for government disburse ments. the o’donovan rossa lecture a complete failure. Toronto, March 19.—O’Donovan Rossa’s lecture last night as a lecture was a com- alete failure and disappointed all who heard t, and his principal supporters, before he was half through, advised him to cut it short. It was not nearly so reasonable nor inspiring as General Burke’s harangue a fort night previous. All through the lecture he was nervous to a painful degree and several times appeared as if he would break down entirely. After the lec ture it was reported that lie was driven out to Weston. The excitement being over, the people t -day are beginning to count the cost. Nine men have been reported to the bung Irishmen's Society as having been 6hot, one seriously through the upper lip. How many of the opposing force are hurt is not known. None are believed to be dan gerously wounded. Most of the injuries consist of broken heads and bmises. One spectator, it is feared, is fatally shot. Five constables are hurt, one seriously, but not fatally. All engaged in keeping the peace , show signs of rough handling. compromise between the southern and TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROADS. Washington, March 19.—The action of the Railroad Committee of the Senate to-day was the result of a kind of compromise. The favorable report of the Texas Pacific was unanimous, tbe friends of the Southern Pacific there by securing the report of their bill without an adverse expression from the committee. An analysis of the committee shows six for the Tdxaf? Pacific, four tor the Southern Pa cific, and Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, neutral, as he w ishes tbe support of both parties for his Northern Pacific* bill. The action to day, though encouraging to the Texas Pacific, is not overwhelmingly so. MORE CUBAN INSURGENTS SURRENDERED, Havana, March 19.—Sixty insurgents with arms, one hundred and fifty-one unarmed, one hundred and eighteen women, and one hundred and, thirty-four minors, have sur rendered iu the jurisdiction of Holguin. Mauy prominent Cubans held a meeting yes terday, at Mr. O’Farrell’s residence, and unanimously adopted a resolution that na tives of the"Province of Cuba should make some public manifestation in repudiation of Cu2 recent meeting of Cuban refugees in New York, and declare their hearty agree ment iu and support of the terms of peace. NO LONGER ANY OBJECT FOR ENGLAND’S DEMANDS. St. Petersburg. Marc h 19.—Tlie Agence Bum says: “As the text itself of the treaty will be communicated to the powers, and as Russia recognizes to each of tlie powers liberty of action at the Congress in regard to proposals, motions and opinions, it would seem there was no longer any object in the formality required by England about sub mitting all the conditions to the Congress. The preliminary commission, which is to assemble at Berlin, is only to settle the for mula of invitations.’’ OSMAN PASHA TO BE RELEASED. Constantinople, March 19.—It is ex- f jected that Osman Pasha will soon be re- ea9t*d by the Russians, and will return here. It is doubtful now w hether the Grand Duke .Nicholas will visit Constantinople. FATAL ACCIDENT. Elizabeth, N. J..
