NIGHT DISPATCHES. The Chinese que-tion was a leading tjnio of attention today. At a lull meedng f the cabinet the recent re poito to the Pietsident from San Fran cisco, in addition to several papers on the subject brought to his attention a', various times, were laid before the council and m :d a matter of very earnest consideration. It was expected at the meeting that the report f yes terday from the "six companies" was an exaggerated statement of "the disor dtr that had occurred, but the Presi dent has been advised from several sources of a condition of nff-irs that may eventuate in nerious trouble. The feeling is, therefore, entertained by the President and members of the cabinet that necessity exist? for taking a care ful view of the subject, and hence a rather prolonged discussion of the pr blem to-day. There was no result, and the matter will be Continued at a future meeting of the cabinet. It can be said that the memhers f the gov ernment are not unmindful of the abil ity of the proper civil authorities in Sau Francisco to prevent outrages of this kitid, but it may be requisite to give assistance if required, in which case the raval force on the Pacific would, in all probability, be directed to so strengthen the local authorities as to prevent a recurre ice ot any se rious trouble that may happen. The ?ufStion of the treaty relations be ween the two countries was discussed. The views of some of the members of the cabinet seem to be that some noti fications might be made in order to limit the importation of the Chinese. It is not unlikely that the President will, at some time, make the Chinese question the subject of a special mes sage to Congress. The cabinet also gave attention to our Mexican relations, although there was nothing particularly new with re gard thereto for c n ideration. The question of recognizing the Diaz gov ernment will, however, very soon be formally acted upon, as the adminis tration inclines to the opinion that it is necessary and proper to approach tfeia question" with but little further delay. No further n ami nations were decid ed upon, and the ew York custom house appointments wero not subjects of any discussion. House The conference report on the deficiency bill was, after much di cussion, agreed to. The item of $500, 000 for inland transportation of the mails, the star service, is retained in the bill. The Senate amendments to the bill for the Paris Exposition were taken up and concurred in. The8i two bills now go to the Presi dent for his signature A resolution, reported from the com mittee on Ways and Means, for a wholesale investigation of all the gov THE TUEC0-RUSSIAN WAR. Forward Movements of the Russians No Rein forcements Needed The Servian Army Order ed Across the Turkish Frontier Osman's Force and the Cause of the Sortie Insurrection in Crete Rumors of England's Purpose to I)e- s clare War. London, Dec 14. The Berlin corres pondent of the Times says the Russians expect to cross the Balkans in force, after which they, will be ready t open negotiations. If the negotiations are successtul, the result will be com muni cated to the signatory powers. The Post's Berlin correspondent as serts fur t tier that the Russian reinforce ments have been countermanded, the Czar believing the present army to be sumcient. Belgrade, Dec 14 A proclamation of the Servian government has just been issued, announcing that the bervian army had been ordered to cross the Turkish frontier. London, Dec 14 The Times' corres pondent at Plevna telegraphs : "Grand Duke Nicholas told me that Osman Pasha reported his force at 27,000. At the same time the Grand Duke seemed to be doubtful if there were so many, and 1 have heard this doubt expressed in several quarters since the surrender. "About Bixty cannon and many hun dred wagons are among the trophies Osraan Pasha had thiee weeks' provis ions still on hand, and ten days rations in his transport train for the whole army. The immediate cause of his abandoning the intrench Qients was the breaking out of an epidemic among the troops. There were forty or fifty dead bodies a day in Plevna. There were no men avaitade to bury them, and the mortality was increasing. Eight hun- diedsick and wounded are in hospi tals." A telegram irom Athens announces that an insurrection has broken out in the province of Amyrecrete. The Turkish families and inhabitants of other provinces have sought refuge in the fortress. The Governor of Crete has sent trnops to repress the insur rection. Constantinople, Dec 14. Turkish troops are concentrating on the Ser vian frontier. London, Dec 14 A Reuter from Erzeroum. dated vesterdv. says : "In pursuance of orders frOcn Lord Derby the British consul left here this morn ing with all the archives of the consu late." rour fourteen contietre siege gun have been brought bv the Russians from Kara to Passan Kaleh and an at tack upon Erzeroum is momentarily expected. Gen TergukassofFs division from Bagazid is threatening the van. The Turkish headqrarters Erzeroum correspondent of the Times says : "The departure of the British consul by or der of Lord Derby is regarded by the Turks as foreshadowing a British de claration of war against Russia." London, Dec 14. -The Pall Mall Ga zette has a dispatch from Copenhagen, saying; 'It is believed that the Rus sian ministers are negotiating with Denmark with a view of proposing Prince Waldemar, of Denmark, or Prince John, of Gluckesberg, as ruler of Bulgaria. London, Dec 14 A Reuter from Constantinople via Syra eays : "Peace and war parties are contending for the supremacy It is believed that the war party will prevail." ' " FRENCH AFFAIRS. The Collection of Taxes, and the Fight Over the Way of Doing it M Dufaure Ministry Gazet tedThe President's Message It Gives Satis faction, and Probably Terminates the Crisis. London, Dec 13. The Paris corres pondent of. the Times says on Wednes day a Batbie cabinet was formed, and the great dimculty of finding a fa nance minister who was willing to undertake the collection of taxes without parlia mentary sanction having been over come by the acceptance of that office by M Japan. This cabinet was intend ed to temporize until the end of the year, and then proceed to a plebiscite or dissolution. M Pouyer Quertier. in the Dresence of President MacMahon and the cabi net, violently inveighed against such a course. The President, upon becoming fully aware that it was illegal, severely con demned the advisers who promoted him to it He wrote out his resigna tion and declared he would never see ! the Duke de Broglie again. Those I present, however, persuaded him to re-open negotiations with M Dufaure. President MacMahon granted M Du faure full liberty in choice of his col leagues. The Republican ministers have been accepted by the President and are now drawing up the Presiden tial message to be read to the Chambers to-morrow. Paris, Dec 14. The Dufaure minis try was gazetted to-day. The Constitu- tionnel, Journal Desbats, Soleil and Dix Neuviem Sirle entirely approve of the new cabinet and congratulate the coun try upon the termination of the crisis. The Republtque Jrrancatse and Rav- pael admit that the cabinet is compos ed ot moderate, but sincere Republi cans, but point out that it - must be judged by its works, and insist on guar antees. The Republique Francaise says : ''We have been deceived so often that we must be excused for not immediately disarming." Some organs of the Right express pity for President MacMahon, on ac count of the unfortunate position in which he is now placed. Marailles, Dec 14. The message of MacMahon was read to both Cham bers. It states that the elections of October 14th affirm ec afresh the con fidence of the country in Republican institution.-". The message continues : "In order to obey the parliamentary rules, I have formed the cabinet select ed from both Chambers, composed of men resolved to defend and maintain these institutions by the sincere exer cise of the constitutional laws. The in terests of the country imperatively de mand that the crisis thrsugh which we are passing shall be set at rest, and de mand with no less force that it shall not be renewed. The exercise of the right of dissolution is in effect nothing but a supreme consultation before a judge from whom there is no appeal, and could not be established as a sys tem of government. I believe it to be my duty to exercise this right and con form mvself to the reply of the Count.'' London, Dec 14. A Paris dispatch to the Times says : "The message is short and will give every satisfaction to the majority The whole budget for 1878 wi'l be voted before the Chambers separate.

Chicagoans Meet and Reprimand the President lor His Fosition on tnis subject in His Jbast Message. Washington, Dec 14. A large meet ing was held in Chicago in behalf of the remonetization of silver. A long series of resolutions was adopted. I he most pointed is as follows : Resolved, That while we have full confidence in the integrity and patriot ism of the President, and his earnest desire to fulfill the duties of his high office, and promote the welfare of the nation, yet we view with just alarm the position taken by him on this question in bis late message, and we nave good reason to believe that his judgment has been warped and misguided by the bad counsel of his constitutional ad' visers. by the adoption of a line of pol icy which would give bondholders an undue and unjust, advantage over oth ers to the detriment of the people. We ir.ve searched in vain through his message for any word of true comfort fr the 8tiuggling masses, by whose labor the money must be earned to pay these bonds. We regard his sug gestion, to-wit ; That by yielding to the demands of public creditors these bonds may be exchanged for others at reduced interest, a delusion. There are two parties interested in tnis question, those who are to pay ann those who are to receive payment. We demand that justice be done both by restoring the old. time-honored standard meas ure of values. The burdens of the gov ernment will then rest lightly upon the shoulders of a prosperous people; but we see no hope or returning prosperity in this financial policy of the Presi dent and his mal-advisers.
