THE GREAT WAIL
The Danube Frozen Over Great Financial Stag
nation in England England Advises Turkey to
.Negotiate Peace -Turkey Acts on the Suggest
tion, and Prepares the Conditions, Which are
Approved by the Sultan.
Bucharest, Jan 9. The Danube is
thoroughly frozen over. The Russians.
in Bulgaria have only three weeks
supplies. Great difficulty about forage
is apprehended, unless communication
is soon restored.
Belgrade, Jan 9, It is understood
that the Servians will occupy Sofia,
transferring their headquarters there.
Peea, Jan 9. A communication
from London, advising Turkey to open
negotiations with Russia through th
military commanders, has been receiv-
J. r - j: ' -
ea nre. mere is a strong oisposiiion
evlfflced to accept the advice.
London, Jan O.rtThe stagnation in
the mouey market, says the 'limes, in
a financial article, exceeds anything
experienced for a long time. The rise
in consols is partly due to an invest
ment by banks and others having the
disposal of large sums of money which
cannot be used in the way of loans. There
seems no longer to be any justification
for the Bank of England maintaining
the present rate of discount.
A special from Constantinople ay
the Turkish commanders in the field
have been ordered to conclude an
armietice with the Russian command
ers. ;
A special from Berlin says Russia,
having consented to enter into nego
tiations for an armistice, even if pre
liminaries of peace are not settled be
fore hand, a conclusion of the trace is
probable.
Note. This is probably the real
basis of the apparent accord between
Russia and England. The latter efforts
of England have been reported to be
dirt cted to fixing a limit to the powers
of the commanders in arranging a
truce and preventing them from dis
cussing the main stipulations, which
might contain preliminaries of peace.
That there are limits to her claim. to a
separate settlement, even Russia has
admitted all along, the only qrestion
being whether the Czar would consent
to have these limits fixed at pre?-ent
and on demand of only one power.
London, Jan 9. According to the
Times' Berlin correspondent, who is in
a good position to know, a compromise
has been reached rather favorable to
the British view. When the English
cabinet asked Russia to state her con
ditions for peace or an armistice, and
Russia declined, England began a new
negotiation to secure the separation of
an armietice from terms of peace. The
Russian official press have since per
sistently declared the two steps 'insepa
rable, thereby implying that Russia
would not abandon her claim to con
clude a single-handed peace. Eng
land's position during the negotiations
has been stated to be that she would
take no steps towards encouraging an
armistice if proceedings to that end
were going to be used to fasten upon
Europe a series of accomplished facts
which would only be submitted for
subseauent ratification as a matter of
form. This mornina's announcemei tB
indicate the success of the English
view. These announcements are fur
ther confirmed by the following dis
patch just received by Reu-er's from
Constantinople: ''The council of min
isters have agreed upon the conditions
of an armistice and submitted them for
the Sultan's approval. In openinjg
direct negotiations purely for a mili
tary armistice, the Porte is said to be
acting upon Lord Derby's advice.'',
A later dispatch from Constantinoply
tolReuter's at 8.40 o'clock, this (Wed
nesday) morning, says: "The bultan
having approved the armistice, the
conditions mentioned in a dispatch
hence of the 8th inst , as having been
submitted to him by. the ministers,
Reouf Pasha, Minister of War, has or
dered the commanders in the field to
conclude an armistice with the Russian
commanders. Before agreeing on this
course. Zever Pasba.the Turkish for
eign Minister telegraphed to Utikhtar
rasna, tne rurnisn amDassauor in
London, instructing him to request
Lord Derby to arrange with Russia,
the conditions of an armistice. Lord
Derbv reDlied that Russia would not ea
tertain such a proposal, and counselled
direct negotiations between the bellig
erents." .:
It is stated that negotiations con
tinue between England and Russia on
the question of the Mediterranean
The Chamber of Deputies having
heard the explanations of tjie minis
ters, declared them satisfactory , and
especially approved Zever Pasha's for
eign policy. All" the ministers were
present during the debate.

'London Jan 9J The King of Italy
died at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
The news ' of his death soon spread
through the city, and caused great
emotion among the people. Alt the

In the afternoon King Victor Eman

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.
The Rio Grande Troubles David Davis will Hold
r the Senate in His Hands To-Day The Female
Suffragists will Attack the Capitol at a Given
Time Reduction of the Tobacco and Whiskey
Tax Probable Eads Gets His Half Million.
Washington, January 9. While the
general tenor of the evidence of Col
Sb after and Lieut Buliia develops no
new facts, the impression is strength
ened that federal military force, both
on the part of the United States and
Mexico, must be maintained on the
Rio Grande border. The apprehension
of a serious complication between the
two governments has disappeared.
When the Senate assembles to
morrow there will be 37 Republicans, 36
Democrats and David Davis. Two
Republicans will be absent without
pairs. Davis can make either side kick
the beam.
The South is not represented at the
women's suffrage convention. Mrs
Hooker advocated the reconstruction
policy. She favored introduction of
the female element on tha force.
Mrs President Sarah Spencer, in
closing yesterday's exercises, said the
Republican Senators were alarmed,
as there wa9 a dying party at the
capitol, but that they would gladly
grab woman suffrage, or anything else,
if they thought it would save tbem.
She gave notice that the convention
would make a grand raid on the cap
itol at ten minutes after 12 o'clock, on
Thursday next, and if they found both
branches of Congress had adjourned
rather than meet them, they would
take possession of the building.
NIGHT DISPATCHE8.
Washington, Jan 9. There is a
strong movement in favor of the bill of
Representative. Robbins, of North
Carolina, for the reduction of the
tobacco tax from 24 to 12 cents, and
spirituous liquors from ninety to forty
cents. The amendment offered by
Representative Cabell allows a draw
back of the tax on all tobacco which
manufacturers may have on hand when
the reduction goes into effect. Col
George C Agnes, chairman, with CG
Holland and thos J Talbott, constitut
ing the committee of the tobacco
manufacturers of Danville a,nd the
surrounding country in Virginia, are
here to support the amendment. This
committee will meet the representa
tives of the trade from Cincinnati, St
Louis, New York, Baltimore, Chicago,
Detroit, Louisville and other cities, in
formal session on Saturday, and will
have a hearing before the committee
on Ways and Means early next week.
All are represented as favoring Rob
bins' bill, provided Cabell's amendment
is adopted, as it is the most important
feature of this measure as it affects the
great industry. C H Conrad is the
secretary of the Virginia committee.
Some of the bondsmen of Collector
Fernell, of the fourth district of North
Carolina, are here with the avowed
purpose of applying to the Secretary of
the Treasury for release from their
bond. Note. This is a mistake.
Fernel is not from North Carolina. I
J Young is collector of the fourth
North Carolina district, notwithstand
ing repeated efforts to oust him. Ed 1
Washington, Jan 9- Captain Eads

A Threatened Bread Riot. Neic
Yo k, January 7. The striking cigar
makers seem to have departed from
their hitherto peaceful attitude, and
now appear to be on the point of enter
ing upon open violence. If what was
learned this morning be true, the oc
currence of Saturday, in Second street,
when Schwarz Korff's hands were at
tacked by a mob of strikers, is but the
beginning of a series of similar disgrace
ful actions. A workman of a cigar
factory this morning, said that at the
recent meeting, the men were exhorted
to buy revolvers, and if necessary, to
pawn their coats to do so. It was also
decided to make an attack on all large
non-union factories, beginning with
the down town ones, and if the hands
did not willingly leave, to club them
away. A woman, at the same factory'
said that she had been warned byhe
Bohemian striking women to remain
away from the factory, as an attack
was to be made.
Now and Then.
It is only now and then that ; uch men as
Hon Alex H Stephens, Ex-Goy Smith and
Ex-Oov Brown, of Ga., endorse a medicing
for the throat and longs, and when they do
it is pretty good evidence that the remedy
must be good for the core of coughs, colds
and long affections. They recommend the
Globb Floweb Covgh Syrup, and their
testimonials are to be be seen round the ten
cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower
Syrup, for sale by all druggists in Charlotte.
A sam pie bottle relieves the worst cough and
will care sore throat. Regular size bottles,
