THE CONFLICT IN THE OLD WORLD

An Orchanie special says preparations
are making for an advance of all the troops
now here towards Plevna. They include large
numbers of Circass:ans belonging to the sui
tan's guard, some regular Ibanian battalions
and members of undisciplincd irregulars.
Another immense convoy of provisions and
munitions of war is on the point of starting
for Plcvna, escorted by division.
Correspondents confirm the report that
Plevna was revictualcd and reinforced on the
23d inst, by twenty battalions of infantry, two
batteries of artillery and 10000 cavalry, and
an immense quantity offood and ammunition
It is stated that rainy weather is impeding
operations. Osman Pasha reports three con
siderable engagements since the 10Th inst, in
all of which the Turks were victorious. Os.
man Pasha's position is now believed to be Sc
cure, and the impression at Constantinople
and Sophia is that the Russians and Rouma
mans are withdrawing gradually from the at
tempt against Plcvna.
A Russian official disprtch, issued al
Gorny Stlden, says: On the ed inst, about
10000 Turkish infantry from Sofia, supported
by artillery, forced their way through our cav
airy posted to intercept them, and entered
Plevna. Further details arc wanting. Al

content and Encouragement are great in tht
Russian army. The officers regard success a!
hopeless. While the headquarters staff re
mains unchanged no improvement seems
| likely. Half the army will be invalided soo1
after the bad weather sets in.
Snow has been falling in Schipka Pas
since the 23rd, and is now ten centimentcr
deep at the foot of the Balkans. The Austria,
and German ambassadors, in the name of tn,

Is an almost foregonc conclusion in the re-

the leader was at the time identified by two
| men who gave information to the detectives
which put them on the right track A day or
two proceeding the killing of Collins and his
companion, a detective entered the camp of
the robbers at 3 O'Clock in the morning while
they were asleep, and learned there were
six well armed men and that they were still
in possession Of tho plunder. He identified
Collins and two others. He departed unob-
served and made report. Superintendent
Clark, Of the Union Pacific, upon learning
these facts, and that these men were likely to
separate, telegraphed Gen. Pope to have
troops scout along the line of the Kansas Pa
cific and intercept them. This was done with
the result as stated. Buffalo station is about
800 miles south Of Big Springs where the rob-
berry was committed.
The Patent Once Fire..
There are rumors that the committee of
investigation into the cause of the patent
office fire incline to the opinion that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. Ali sorts of
sensational circumstances arc said to confirm
this theory. The only reasonable motive
which could be implied to anybody for setting
it on fire would be to destroy evidences of
fraud which may have been committed and
was likely to have been discovered, but the
circumstances all seem very remote, a nd to
those who know the construction of the bull
ding and arc familiar with the very dangerous
and inhammable nature of it's con-
tents in the portion where the
fire originated, the wonder is not that the
patent office was destroyed but that it was
not destroyed long ago.
White Earth Reservation Troubles.
A dispatch from White Earth Reserva-

states that considerable excitement prevails

him being that he had sent away three chill
dren his wards, to school in Stearns county
without the permission of agent Stowe.
Charges were also made against C. H. Beau
lieu, Sr., and council of officers were to de-
terminc the question of his removal from the
reserve. At last accounts matters looked Sc
rious.
