The Third District convention will be

out for food of pamphlet speeches from
MIR. Hendee, and note how many Wash
ington papers are being sent out, in
which Mr.. Hendee's action in regard to
District Columbia matters is favOrably
commented upon. Other candidates hav-
ing retired, Mr.. II. desires to have the
whole district endorse his services in the
past, by giving him an easy and nearly
unanimous third nomination. If the
chilly and indifferent feeling that pre-,
walls among the people, by and large, IL
his behalf should happen to get into the
convention, he will get no enthusiastic
nomination.

Up to this time the Servians have
been uniformly unsuccessful! in their en-
counters with the Turks. Advices re-
ceived at Paris are unfavOrable to the
Servians, and there is no longer any con-
eealment Of the fact that they will be
unable to accomplish their object in GO
ing into the war. The rising in the
Principalities has not been general, and
Servia has been left with little assist
anco to engage in the struggle. The
Turks have now crossed the Drina, and
the last Servian reserves have been call
