London, Dec, 30. The Renter's Tel-
gram Company have' the following
from Paris .: It is officially announced
here that the Armistice has been pro
longed until the lstof March.
Combtantistople, Dec. 30, At Thurs
day's sitting of the conference, which
lasted four hour?, it was decided that
the Armistice should be prolonged
until the IsL of March, 1877i tThe
Turkish delegates submitted objections
to several of the proposals made by
the conference chiefly on the subject
of guaranties. . -
Dimi8Ru followed on those ques
tions, in which Count Chandardyl the
French plenipotentiary; took the lead
ing part. The next sittings of the
conference will he on Saturday and
Monday, and it is expected that rapid
progress will be mp.de with the delib
erations.
Apprehensions recently entertained
of an unfavorable issue are now con

by the Porte, and considers that this
action adds much to the hopefulness
of the situation. It believes Turkey has
put forward a proposal that the police
force composed of Turkish regular
troops under European officers shall
supervise the application of reforms in
the provinces whether the Czr and
his ministers will be content with it.
The Prfll Mall Gazette seriously
doubts, declaring it easier to believe
the Russian army fight, unless its sov
ereign can boast of far more obvious
diplomatic victory than it 13 likely to
obtain, thin that it will be ordered
home by a government virtually de
f- ated in the conference chamber.

which is not more than 40 rods distant
from the depot, he felt a Violent jar,
and in an instant the coupling between
the two engines had broken and the
whold train was precipitated with the
bridge into the river below. McGuire
says his engine was pulled back nearly
to the edge of the broken spain before
the coupling severed, and it regained
its forward motion barely in time to
save itself. The bridge over the Ash-
tabule river . was an iron truss bridge,
and -had been in use about 11 years.
The span is about 100 feet wide and
th ough the space between flows the
river about four or five feet deep, at
this time thickly covered with ice. Into
this space were the Hears and one
engine and tender precipitated. The
fall of sixty feet of course breaking
through the icyl covering shivered the
cars as if a magazine of nitro glycerine
had exploded beneath them. The 7
passenger coaches altogether contained
about 165 adultS',' besides a number of
children. In the drawing room, car
which was bound for Cleveland, were
9 persons; all of whom' are supposed to
have perished by drowning or fire. In
