[BY cable to the bebald.]
Beblin, June 17, 1878.
The session of the Congress to-day began
at two o'clock, and, contrary to all expecta
tion, passed off without any important inci
dent or the serious discussion of any im
portant point. It is pretty certain now that
ail the principal points will be arranged at
the private conferences between the repre
sentatives of the Powers having a more
direct interest in the Eastern question, and
that the Congress will then givo formal ef
fect to the decisions thus arrived at.
NO IMPORTANT STATEMENTS.
The time of tho Congress to-day was
chiefly passed in general conversation on
the various aspects of tho questions at issue
and the interests of tho various States. No
Plenipotentiary present made any ofhcial
statement, and no formal proposition was
submitted. In fact it was almost entirely a
decalogue between certain members of tho
Congress. Neither Lord Beaconsfield nor
the Turkish representatives said a single
word. Prino o Gortschakoff was present.
ADMISSION or THE SMALL POWERS.
The session was opened by the reading
of the minutes of the session held last
Thursday, after which Prince Bismarck
mentioned the applications of the hith
erto vassal States?Roamania, Servia and
Montenegro, and of tho Kingdom of
Greeoo?to be admitted to seats in the Con
gress. No delegate present made any for
mal motion to deal with*the question, but
all present said something in a desultory
way, as people speak of a thing condemned
beforehand.
OBEECE TO HAVE A HEARING.
Greece being the first mentioned was al
most the only one of the claimants spoken
of, and the conversation stopped there.
Although nothing was definitely decided
tho general understanding was that the
Greek agents shall obtain a hearing before
the Congress, but nothing more. After
this conversation the Congress adjourned
at 4:20 P. M. to Wednesday next.
THE BU1Q&BIAH BCOBEAU.
The Bulgarian question was barely
touched upon at this formal session, al
though it forms the subject of many earnest
private conferences, for tho reason that tho
Russian and Austrian representatives wish
to discuss it still further in private before it
is formally taken up by tho Congress.
DINNEBS FOB ABB.
To-day the Plenipotentiaries dined with
Prince Bismarck at the Radziwill Palace.
Porty-two covers were laid and the affuir
passed off very handsomely. After the din
ner u reception was given at the English
Embassy, which will bo repeated every
Monday as long as the Congress is in ses
sion. Tho Austrian Embassy will give
similar receptions every Wodnosduy. Yes
terday (Sunday) M. Karolyi, oue of tho
Austrian representatives, gavo a dinner,
but only tho French and Italian delegates
were invited.
SCHMI3ES. SOT FACTS.
After the liuigarlau question will bo likely to
come the Montenegrin and Servian questions,
I'rlncc liianiurrk, It Is salil, having submitted a
piau lor taking up the respective chapters of tho
Treaty of 8an Stefkno in the onlcr of their im
portance and of the amount o 1 opposition they are
likely to meet.
THK DANUKKS A1IKAD.
The questions which threaten tlio success ol tho
Congress arc believed to be the cession of.AutlvuM
to Montenegro, the position of ltouiuelia liurclatlon
to Turkey, and ol the administrative and govern
mental organisation ol Koumclta. Austria and
Italy may oppose the cossiou or Antlvarl; Russia
alone, or perhaps Russia and (icrinany, will uphold
it. But tiiiK question may be compromised, or
Russia may yield. Kngiand, Franco, Austria, Tur
key and perhaps Italy will uphold the anti Ruasiau
arrange men band organization of ltouiuelia.
WILL RUSSIA Y1KI.D /
On thcseguestlons, It is thought, Kngiand and
Austria cannot yield. Russia can and intuit yield;
her trlcmls allege that she will not, but suchusscr
tlons are probubly Intended to mislead and inilu
ence the iorcea which aro contenting Russia's
claims. The tact in the war party was banished

Territorial ooncesslons In Armenia will not at

of war Indemnity will be settled by tne appoint
ment ol a commission to collect the Turkish reve
nues and (my over a certain proportion to Russia
annually, or to capitullze such prnjiortlon bjr a for
eign loan and puy the Russian claim In bulk.
WHAT WILL TIIK TURKS SAY T
One notable mature In all these speculations is
that they omit to tuko any account of possible op
position (Toni the Turks themselves. This onus*
siou is only Justifiable on the assumption that ail
ttio modllJcaAiotis ol the Treaty or Man Htelano
Wilton the Powers will domand are to be in ravor of
Turkey, which Is not by any means certain. Kar
atheodort Pacha Is making preparations lor a vig
orous representation ot Turkish interests beforo
the Congress, but his position is very unploaaaut.
ITAI.Y AN1? AKT1VARI.
The Italian representatives ut the C'onKresa.bave
not jet Indicated any opposition to the cession of
Anilvart to Montenegro, but it is expected that
Austria s views on this matter will prevail in the
Congress.

[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
London, June 18, 1878.
A telegram from Berlin denies the slaU-meuts that
a programme oi proceedings for each sitting of the
Congress has already been dollnltely fixed. It reports
that the question or tbo admission of Greeoo
to the Congross was doflnltoly brought for
ward to-day, but no decision was reuchod. Toe
question bas assumed more Importance tban
was at Hi si expected. France, England, Austria and
perhaps Germany will support the admission Of
Greece. Russia and Italy may possibly oppose it,
from apprehension that Greeoo under British protec
tion might beeome a great Oriental Power and a formi
dable rival to tbe Slavs. Confidence In a peaceful re
sult, wblch will assuro the legitimate tcflucuce In tbo
Bast of tbe Powers principally Interested, is Increas

Is considered oertsiu.

A PRINCE FOR BULGARIA.
EFFORTS lO PLACE TUB DUKE OF EDINBURGH
OVER THE PRINCIPALITY? INFLUENCE OF THE
CZAR'S DAUGHTER.
[From the Evening Telegram ol yesterday. ]
[special cable despatch to tuk telegram.]
London, June 17, 1878.
Several leading questions aro at present engross
ing the attention of the ITenipotcntlaricH who are
busily engaged at Berlin 111 laying plana lor the
luturc safety of Kuropc. One of these questions,
It hus just been learned, relates to the candida
tures for the sovereignity ol North Bulgaria Of
course several schemes are already on foot to
secure this appointment lor certain lavontes. But
It Is too early to say who will assume the responsi
bilities ol the position.
TUK Dl'KK OK EDINBURGH
It Is rumored, however, that the Duke of Edin
burgh is anxious to obtain the suid sovereignty;
and It is lurther sUtldB that Iler Majesty the
Queen of Uugiand, aud also her astute I'rlmc Min
ister, the K*rl of Iicacunsfiold, aro doing their
utmost to gutu this end. They would like to see
the Duke ol Kdluburgh at the head ol the North
Bulgarians, lor, alter all, he would be merely re
presentative ol England's influence.
THE DUC1IEHS' VISIT.
It is confidently asserted In diplomatic circles
here tbat the visit of the Duchess of Edinburgh to
St. Petersburg Is purely lor the purpose of lurther
lug these designs. It has been thought,in ul! prob
ability, tt.ut sho might induce the Czar to give his
approval to the wishes of the (juccti ot England.
She will undoubtedly make slreuuous efforts to con
vince the Czar that her husband can be especially
usciui to him during present diitlcuitics.
A PRINCELY MARTYR.
But there arc some weighty considerations in
volved in this proposed appointment una they wilt
go lurtlicr, in all likelihood, than any personal in
fluence, to determine the Czar's choice. It Is gen
erally believed thut the Duchess will fall In her at
tempt and that the whole scheme will fall through,
chiefly owing to the (act that the I'us>lan pcoplo
would object to such a choice as the Duke ol Edin
burgh. It Is no longer a secret that the latter
has been posing recently as a martyr to Busslun
procllvltio*.

I and sold to lavored contractors at tho prices ol old

department hy Cine! Engineer J. H. King that ilurtug

Messrs. John Koicli and H. 11. li.irdner, sou wore

$126,245. Mr. King turllivr says in tils report : ?
There has nevor been a qitesliou as to the pioprletv nf

than hy sal ?such, fur Instance, as the exchange ol uid
tubes or old scrap to he worked into new metals, it
would seem host lu do so, there being no law to the rule
traiy. Hut the boilers sold wore not uid materials worth
less for use ; un tho contrary they were uew, and stored in
the nave yards for use lu naval vessel, requiring new boil
ers. and lor -ovorul years many nf precisely tho snnio kind
were supplied to vessels returning irom cruises with their

It any proof be needed that the thirty new hollers sold

RKPOIIT OF PAY UIRXCTOK LOOPKR.
The following are me ui<m important portions or
tuts report:?
I hove ro?pcctfully to report as followsTit* official
sources of evidence upon the subject allow that during the
Joint administrate ti of l'aytn**u-r tJoneral John A. Brad
{??rd uud Acting Paymaster lioueral James H. \\ altnotigh,
an cliiet o( said Bureau, and subsequently when the horror
retired at d the latter wa* appointed to the full position,
there were repeated and -varied irregularities in its ao
in Iniat ration, a frequent absence of duo regard tor
anil conformity to law. Especially wits this the csso with re
gard to the bureau's own distinctive purchases anil arrange
ments tor supplies, its sale* of public property and dispo
sition of the proceeds thereof, barter or exchange of same,
it is evident that in nil those matters eithnr the law. guv
erniug them were not Known or ili-y were not respected
or considered binuing. The system positively required by
law, of oj only iovitiug couipetiuon by advertising
for proposals for needed articles and making
regular legal coiittacU fur the same, seem* to
liuvo boon, so far as the bureau's own distinctive
purchases and arrangement* were eoncorned, uot merely
sometimes, but almost wholly Ignored by Mr WufmoiiKb.
Mero bureau orders woro commonly given and without ad
vertiaeuiont. without poHsibiiity ol competition, without
legal contract, sometime* without need una without
sufficient fund* uuder the proper appropriation*. and this
wa* done with re -aril to larger as well as .mailer transac
tion*. a* the accompanying paper* will show.
Th? records of the bureau also show that Chief of Bureau
Wtttutough nindo illegal .ate* or barter or exe'iauye of
public property to an enormous extent all along during
the years of 1*74-75 and pail of l?7lt, and that none of
the proved* there-f were, as roquired by law with regard
to every thing, except condemned clothing, covered into
the treasury by him. bat were, except a trill-, covered
iiit-? the bureau in tho shape of other and new supplies.
TUI* was don?, not at public auction, without public ad
vertisement anil without possibility ol competition ; it was
done privately and witu single individuals. All thi*
wa* violation of the then existing I iw. home of the
Mure- 11 us disposed of were sound ai.d merchantable nnd
o? navy '?inspection" when sold by the bureau, sonic simply
"old" and stone "eon lcm nod and unfit for Issue." Im
mense quantities of stores, abati'l-mod at jiome at ail
pdnu. were sold as they were, umuuii, lor certain acred
upon prices, Soma of them shipped directly to the pur
chaser. Tu? bureau aloue arranged, fixing the prlt us of
both sold and pu-chascd or exchanged articles. The psy
officer* had nothing to do with the matter, nor any
hoard, and tho officers in cuargo had s uiply to obey
human orders and turn over and receive the article* ac
corditigly, and at the price, specified by the bureau. Too
bureau during this time thu* di*p<>*<?d <>t NJ

and exchango or barter by Mr. Bradford ol #54,U3} Ul
worth of "old" beef fur 25, ? pnld in beef") the pro
coeds of whlcii wont not Into the Treasury, as re
quired bv law. hut, as stated, into tbe bureau.
Necessarily these sales and exchange* involved much
loosa uud Irrosooiisible act.on. heavy sacrifices
and great confusion An li<d'flultt? quantity of indefinite
articles, good, bad and Indifferent, were proffered by tlia
bureau, "pa) tpent lo be made |u case; In Improved navy
hi.is: In small stores, new clothing," Ac., ami "soitl<*men; to
he made direct with the hurean ami to he considered run
fidential." So that article, uncler one appropriation w?*re
to he held and paid for sometimes in one way and some
| time* iu another, thus most strangely and illegal!? niter
mixing ami confounding everything coomcted with the
matter. It finally resolved liseif Into au exchange or bur
I tor of stores on a large *<ale All this clsarty was la posi
tive violation of law, and especially of certs!u of the well
' known articles for the belter government of the navy.
