Brilliant Exploit OF Two Young
Russian E~ngineers.

BUoHAREsT.-The following de-
tails are received of the destruction
of the Turkish monitor by torpe-
does. Two young Russian engi-
neer officers attempted to reach the
monitor early in the evening with
torpedoes, but were discovered and
driven back by a heavy fire. At 3
o'clock in the morning they re-
turned in two sections, carrying a
chain of small torpedoes, filed with
dynamite. No lookout being kept
aboard the monitor, they securely
lodged the chain across her bows.
On their return they discharged the
whole series Of torpedoes by means
of an electric battery, and the YES.
sci Immediately disappeared.
LoNDoN.-A Bucharest CORE
spondent recounts the destruction
Of the Turkish monitor as follows:
Il was one Of the most daring
deeds ever recorded. A small de-
tachment of Russian soldiers left
the northern shore of the Danube
in a number of small boats. The
night being very dark, they man
aged to surround the monitor be.
fore being discovered. When finally
observed by the sentries on board,
they were challenged. The major
replied in Turkish, friends The
Turks, not satisfied, commenced
firing in the direction of Matchin,
not knowing where the boats came
from. Their shots flew wide. Du-
ring the firing several Russian SOL
diers plunged into the water, swan
silently to the vessel and placed a
torpedo in close contact with her
bottom, After it had been securely
fastened, the men returned to the
neighbOring shore, the monitor was
blown into the air, and all on board
perished."

WASHINGTON, May Is The rumor
with reference 10 the formation Of a new
political party is repabhshed here this
morning aud creates considerable com.
ment. Referring to the subject the Re.
publican says this movement is not,
comparatively speaking, a recent one,
prominent persons having for several
weeks past been agitating matters
secretly, and while many were admitted
into the confidence OF the enterprise
none dared disclose a word concerning
1t. Without mentioning names it may
be significant 10 recall tie fact that du-
ring the past six weeks some OF the most
prominent men from the East, West aud
South have visited Washington aud rep
resenting every diversity OF public opin.
ion. They did not all come iu d body,
but separately without any furry or ex-
element and quietly saw the President
aud his cabinet. OF course the Presi-
dent can't be said to be 10 any way a
party to the enterprise. His acts speak
tor themselves and his promises are few.
Whatever steps, therefore, are taken in
eAC PROMISES VIII uE CullItl1 WituOul|
direction from him, being based safely
upon his announced policy and the good
OF the whole people. Subsequent to the
preliminary meeting to be held in New
York it is proposed to hold other meet
iugs in Southern and Western cities and
the old. time Wings of the South are spe.
cially invited to join the movement.
The Hon. E. John Ellis, of Louisiana,
is very pronounced in his support of the
Hon. Milton Sayler, of OHIO, for the
speakership. He depreca,es the cleo
ton Of o Southern man for speaker at
this time, aud iavors an alliance between
the Westoro and Southern States. Mr..
Ellis deuies empbatically the published
account %attributiug to him certain dis
paraging references to the candidacy Of
Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky, for whom
be expresses the highest esteem. He
takes no stock in the idea Of q new party.
