The Eastern mar.

The military news from the seat Of
war states that force of twenty five
thousand Montcnegrins attacked Moukh-
tar Pasha, and after causing him to re-
linquish his position drove his army back
to the frontier The front Of the oppos-
ing forces extends a distance of eight
miles. a CONSUMPTION of able bodied
men has been ordered in Scrvia in ex-
pcctation of renewed bostilitics in the
spring The scheme of a conference
seems to have been found impracticable,
and is for the present virtually abandon
ed. 1t is now suggested that a pro-
gramme of reforms should be drawn up
on the basis of the Berlin memorandum.
In the meantime the struggle between
the Seryian peace party and the Russian
party continues Russia is los
ing no opportunity of preparing for any
and is already pcrfecting ar
for the removal of the Rus
ian colony from Constantinoplo to odos-
a. Later dispatches state that the Mon
cnegrins have turned the positions of the
Turkish army and cut them off from re-
Inducements, occupying all the villages
in the Toplatza Valley.

THE STATE ELECTIONS.

The elections in Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia took place on Tuesday
last. The latest news we have at the
time of going to press is up to midnight
Tuesday So far we can give no exact
account, as the returns are very moagre,
but from present indications the contest
will be close. Both parties claim victo-
ries. We give below the views of the
Sun Of Wednesday, accepting it as the
most impartial source from which to get
correct idea of the result:
Reports from all points in Indiana in
dictate that the election passed of quietly,
with the heaviest vote ever cast The
Democrats positively claim the State,
though the Republicans are unwilling to
csucedc it. The vote in Indiana in 1872
, for Governor was 81, 100, with Dem
ocratic majority of ,74S The vote Of
1874 was 3i7 ,056, with a Democratic
majority Cor Secretary of State Of II 3,
@@ps III LUZ NhtA iHNhi1i > NAhNtNfFse
for Secretary of State received Is, 23'
and scattering 2,2S7. The comparison
are made in the returns with both lS1.
and 1874 There are 81 counties ant
1917 townships and wards in the State
In Ohio there was also an immense
vote. Here too the Democrats make Al
enthusiastic claim for the State on the
strength of unexpectedly large gains
which caused the Republicans great anx
iety, but the latter figure out comfort
able majority for themselves Complr-
isons are made in Ohio with the vote fo
Governor last year, when Hayes, Repub
Ican, received 297,Sl7 Allen, Demo
crat, 292, 273, and Odcll, Prohibition
2,593.
In West Virginia the congressional
clectionof 1874 resulted in a Democratic
majority Of 8, o5l; the presidential cleo
ton in ISTZ Republican majority o

Recent news from China gives alarming
reports Of famine in various parts Of The
The dispatches are meagre,
but previous mail advices give a good
clue to the situation The larger parts
Of the provinces Of Chihi and khantung
have long been suffering from drought,
and the fall crops are hopelessly lost
Missionaries have given narrowing
descriptions of the distress prevailing in
the latter province. The people had
exhausted their little stores of grain,
and have even pawned their tools and
instruments. The pawnshops were long
since choked with goods and depleted Of
funds According to the missionaries
nothing remains for the majority Of the
inhabitants but to starye or plumber
The maudarins cannot deal with the
crisis, for there are no adequate means
of transporting grain. The internal
economy of China is such that each
section is practically dependent on itself
there being no methods Of intcr-commu-
nication on a large scale and which can
be depended on IN an emergency. Thus
it happens that wheat is plenty at Chefou
while two hundred miles away the peo-
pie are starving The frequent droughts
to which the north of China is subjected
offer an important field Of inquiry. The
present crises is one of the most severe
in the modern history Of the country.
The negotiations for peace are still
progressing, and although it is said that
! despite all rumors to the contrary, Tur
I key has not sent any reply to the propa
sal Of the Powers, the idea of a confer
cnce is still favored by them, and al
though there are difficulties in the way
it is thought they may be overcome. \

Pest says that both England and Russi
are agreed as to conference ofthe Pow

The famous Modocs are rapidly disap-
pearing, and will soon be but the shad-
ow of a. name. After the execution Of
Captain Jack they were removed to a
reservation in the Indian Territory on
the border of Missouri Climatic inhu-
ences have proved very unfavorable, and
in three years time they have lost fifty
eight from their total number of one hun
bred and fty-three. There is no ply
sician upon the reservation, and the light
diseases like whooping cough prove IA
tai. They suffer greatly from home
sickness, and their fatality may be that
loss of heart to which Indians and other
races like the Malays are subject, and
render them peculiar liable to sickness.

It has already been mentioned that
the second trial of John p. Lee, the
Mormon bishop, for the responsibility Of
the Mountain Meadow massacre has re-
suited in his conviction, and it is added
that he has evidently been abandoned by
the Mormon hierarchy There are re-
ports in Utah that an understanding was
arrived between the United States dis
trict attorney and Brigham Young, in
consequence of which the former said in
opening the case that Lee acted without
authority of any Mormon council or of
ficer, and ''in direct opposition to the
feelings and wishes of the Mormon
Church" The witnesses tried to put
the guilt on Ice, and. cxculpated the
church, the object being to remove all
obstacles to the admission of Utah as
State. Lee may make bitter confess
sion if he is thus abandoned.

The fatal carelessness of a ship-car-
pentcr at New York, on Saturday,
caused the death of five men, and his
own death is hourly expected. He lit
his pipe while at work down in the hold

in pile of oakum saturated with kero-
sene In moment the whole interior
was ablaze. and all retreat cut of. No
