JAssY, May 17.-A Russian In. fantEy corps numbering fifty.two thousand, with 8 proportionate force of cavalry and artillery, is marching toward Simnitza, and it Is believed the main body of the Russians will attempt to cross the Danube.
 The Russians have crossed the Aluta end entered little Wallachia which it was expected would be occupied solely by Roumanians. Gen. T. Koheliff's division of Circassian Cossacks destined to lead the advance of the invasion is passing through Bucharest en route for the Danube. Reconoi. tering party of 800 Russian infan. try crossed the Danube in boats below Reni the Turks allowed them to come well within range when they opened such. a heavy fire that the Russians were com- pelled to retreat with serious loss.

 LONDON, May 17.-Eight Turk. ish soldiers captured near Ibrail were armed with American rifles { Providence R. l. Ed. SENTINEL firing 36 cartridges without reload. ing, each soldier carried besides one hundred aad twenty rounds of ammunition (heavy load.)
 Russian movement of cOncen. trating upon Kars, Poti, Akalt-- zik, Alexandrianopol and Erivan has come to a standstill.
 The troops are buta few marches from the frontier owing partly to the necessity of establishing vic. tualling stores on Turkish soil and partly to Russian generals recog- nizing change effected in condi- tion of warfare by adoption of the needle gun. Attacks in massed columns are out of the question.

Danger from the Crows.

It is not unnatural or unreasonable that
some anxiety should exist regarding Crow
loyalty. 1t is well known that disaf
fect.d (though small) element does exist;
and as it is an element not averse to bury
ing the hatchet with the Sioux, the con-
tinuance of the Idaho troubles, or an out
break in MissouIa, or the agency question
intimated in our present issue might carry
Q portion at least of the Crows into open
hostility. However, we do not anticipate
much danger of such a result. The larger
proportion of the yourg men are with Lit.
Doane, their delayed annuities have ar
rived, and. as they arc committed against
the Sioux for the season, we imagine any
attempt 10 carry out the propositions un.
doubleday made to them by Sitting Bull
and the Nez Perces will fail. We have.
we admit, not SO much confidence In them
that we do not regard their present ser
vice under Doane as fortunate, everything
considered-but circumstances will re-
Grain even those who are most angered
over delays in delivery of annuities. loca'
ton of agency and selection OF agents.
At any rate, no danger can be said to exist
st present.

Tongue River Mail.

We are deluged with complaints. Way
mail, we hear, is rejected by the carriers
who refuse, except for consideration, te
carry it at all. The result is disastrous
as the unfortunate people who live upon
the line of the route go for weeks at time
without a letter or paper.
The contract was let for Bozeman to
Tongue river and several intermediate
stations; and, while it is true post Offices
have not yet been regularly established
it surely is none the less the duty of tie
contractor to provide means for accommo
dation of way mails. Why don't he pro-
vide way pocket and compel the carrier
to carry and deliver the way mail? 1t is

Failure Of the Mission.
Sitting Bull Moving South,

Last week we published the following
we have advices regarding an important
movement of Gen Miles in connection
with the Sitting Bull campaign. which
we are not yet permitted to make public.
We Can say, however, that it will result,
IN an early movement, or conclusion OF

cross the line upon any such mission, AMI
they were obliged to return.
