TURKISH HEAL QUARTERS,
PESCANIA.

Sept. 90.
could not send a detail account Of the great
battle which was fought yesterday in the
Moraya Valley, as | arrived only in the after
noon on the battlefield Considering the
number of troops engaged and the losses suf-
fered. the battle was decidedly the greatest of
the whole war. At a signal yesterday morn
ing, at 6 a. m, II Servi,n batteries opened
fire, FIVE of them on the eft bank of the Mo-
rava, against Hafz Pasha The line of battle
extended from Dravesac by Alexiuatz and
Deligrad, ard then along the heights running
along the eastern bauk Of the DIuniska Noun
tain stream as far as Veliki Sltjegova. At 7
a. m, the Servian infantry advanced. While
in front, towards the Morava, the attack was
only directed against the Turkish bridge, the
main attack was made against the Turkish left
wing, commanded by Hafz and AIDE Pachas, in
order to cut off tho line of retreat to the Turks
to Nish. At dsybreak, 16 Servian battaIliOns
crossed the Morava al Dravesac, on the pom
toon bridge thrown across during the night, and
advanced by Jesica against the Turkish right
wing under Fazly Pasha. 1t was a decided
double hanking movement, which, with the
insuficiency of the forces and the badness of
the Servian troops, was totally unjustitied, and
which therefore completely failed. Already at
noon the Servians had been driven back on all
points with great loss. At that time the muir
derous artillery fire which had been kept up
since the early morning stopped for a short
time. Towards 4 p. m. the attack were
against the Turkish left flank renewed for the
second, and in the evening for the third, but
we're all times ~repulsed with great loss, as we'll
as the last, which occurred at 5 p. m.
The less Of the Turks, who kept all along on
the defensive, is trifing only, $50 wounded
having been brought in. Among the Servian
dead there are many Russian officers, who
could always be seen in front of the attacking
column. It WAS likewise observed that the
Servisn rank and file had driven to the attack. at
the point of the sword. Hence the intention OF
Tchernayef to obtain more favourable peace
conditions.

The Elk REBELS, THE ARMY PENSIONS, AND
THE CENTENNIAL YEAR.-Mr. Williams of Wis
consin, in his speech in the house advocating
the restoration of the southern soldiers of 1912
who took part in the rebellion, to the pension
rolls, remarked:
Sir, we have been admonished to remember
the good feeling of the Centennial year. Well,
we think we have some pride and some inter-
est in that as well as our friends on the other
side, for We fought hard and sacrificed much to
reach it. Could they had their way there
would never have been any Centennial for this
nation to celebrate But, sir, we doubt not but
that they come to the Centennial as we do,
with joyful hearts, and we meet them without
one vengeful feeling left. All we ask is that
all over this land the era of the return of good
feeling shall be real; that every citizen, even
rights; that sectional feeling shall die out ut
terly; and that the American citizen, SO long
rs he obeys the laws and COMFORTS himself like
q good citizen, shall be welcome every. Then
will we celebrate our centennial year with joy in
deed, with united, happy and prosperous coun-
try. But this feeling can never be genuine, can
never come to stay, until we carry out that in
action which we are so ready to express in words

he said: "The remainder of that arm left at

complaint to make; have served my country
rs well as could, both in peace and war. MY
successor fought to destroy the country; 1
fought to defend it. If my country can stand
that, I can" All, Mr.. Chairman, that is what
this country cannot stand and what it will not
stand. No country can stand that Patriot
ism cannot live by it.; liberty will die under it,
No; let the day elimination and recrimination
pass. Put back these invalid soldiers of 1872
on the pension rolls. Let their pay commence
from the passage of the act, and let the door
close there finally and forever. Let no man
who fought for the late rebellion other than
these ever hope to receive pension. Let all
come together in good faith and for common
endeavor; let the soldiers of the two armies
fraternize and let all the people be again
united, But Mr.. Chairman, we shall never
see this, and we never ought to see it while

On Thursday night snow slide at Ytba Pass,

wreck another slide occurred one-half mile be-

with assistance. Slides meantime occurring in
all directions the men refused to endanger their
lives by working in the sheds. A slide near
Summit and another at Strongs Canon carried
away several hundred feet of the sheds. This
