The LoIdon Tunes In a leading editorial
article upon the Servo-Turkish conflict says
THAT there has been q systematic fabrication
OF victories on both sides, but that IL is GER
tain that the original plan of the Seryian
invasion has been disconnected, and though
undoubtedly they have fought with the
greatest courage they can make no real I'M
preston on the main body of the Turks
Granting the Seryian claim that General
Tehernayef has suffered no defeat, that he Is
Sill In advance and has taken means to as
sure his communications, we still believe
that he will In the end have to fight for the
security OF the Servian frontier. He has but
q small army, and the Turks probably even
now out-number hin. Taking into con-
sideration the numerical superiority OF the
Turks, the difficulty of moving in such
q country, and the effectiveness of
General TchernayeG's equipment, we
must conclude that the war Will con-
tinue 10 fringe the Servian frontier.
The strong est feature Of the campaign, the
Times thinks. is the movement OF the Prince
of Montenegro. He has q force estimated at
$4,000, largely composed Of volunteers from
other districts. He boasts OF great successes
That he has beaten the Turks or they have
retreated before him; that his men would
have made the port OF Kick useless to the
Turks even If the Austrians had not closed
1t. he has entered Nevesipje and threatens
Mostar, but he Is not co operating with the
Servians, unless there be something very
profound In the plan of the campaign.
The notion that the Montenegrins do not
count upon the success Of their allies, and
therefore 60 for what they can get for them
selves begins to prevail. A short time will
show the truth of this. Meantime Greece
remains entirely peaceful, and Roumania
balances her demands on the Porte by earn
est declarations OF neutrality, and will
probably keep quiet as long as she can.

The Senate conference com nittee on the
sundry civil appropriation bill was Obliged
10 recede from Its amendment gi wing $500 900
towards the general expenses OF the District
OF Columbia, although IL is understood that
Mr.. Wincom, the chairman, strenuously OPP
posed Its elimination. 1t is absolutely ne
nessary that Congress before Its ADJOURN
ment should make some provision 20 enable
the District government to go on until IL
viii be in receipt OF funds under the tax bill
In December. 1t is not the fault OF the Com
missioneTs that Congress has not passed
tax-bin sooner, as they supplied the data for
such bill as long ago as January last.
The result Is, through the delay OF the pas
sage OF tine bill until this late day, that the
Commissioners will be without funds TO
carry on the government OF the District for
four months st least, aud must shut up shop
during that time If relief is not afforded
just as the general government would have
had 10 suspend its operations had not legis-
lat1on been effected to enable 1t to go on
until the appropriation bills were passed.
what Congress ought TO do Is TO appropriate
at once enough money for Its proper share
OF District expenses, but the evident incli-
nation Of the House is to do nothing more
than to authorize The Commissioners to an
ucipafe the revenue from the taxes, and
draw enough money from the u. 9. Treas
ury 10 carry on the District government
until those taxes can be collected, when the
amount advanced by Congress Is to be re-
turned. The amount needed by the District
government prior to the receipt of taxes is
estimated at about 100000.

The Postmaster General has issued a cir
cular reducing the pay OF letter carriers, who
are already underpaid considering the SER
vice they render. This reduction Is rendered
necessary from the fact that Congress ia the
last approximation bill cut down the appro-
priations for almost every branch OF the
postal service, In consequence OF which the
latter must necessarily be remoielet on
more economical basis, or, in other words
crippled until after the Presidential election
is over. The reduction oil expenses, to keen
within the limits OF the appropriation, is
therefore incumbent o. the Postmaster Gen.
eral, who, should he exceed the amount
appropriated, would be liable under the law
10 nne or imprisonment, or both.

Of Ohio, told Cincinnati reporter on Sat-

present at the recent meeting OF the Rspub.

not support Secretary Chandeliers election as
chairman. 1t may farther be stated that
Gov. Jewell disaPp-oyed OF the election OF
Mr.. Chandler to be Secretary OF the Interior,
and did net hesitate TO express his surprise
at the action Of the President In the matter.
And Jet IL is generally conceded that MI.

1t is reported that the President yesterday
