Int NuT T'WS CONTINUES uull anu COulIu-
dictory. No event Of importance has yet oc-
Cured; while the minor incidents are reported
in such n confused manner. that all attempt at
getting at the cxact truth must be given up.
Nobody knows. for instance. as yet. how tho
Russians managed to bring the torpcdocs under
tho monitor blown up the other day. Tho
Times. the Sdnddrd the Telegraph Of London,
End the Hcrdh Of New York. all claim 10 have
Special correspondents on the spot. Yet they
printed each u different version of the affair."
The only trustworthy bit OF information camo
In n short telegram from st. Pctcrshurg stating
That the destruction Of the monitor was the work
OF two young licutonants Of tho corps Of naval
engineers. both Of whom were Immediately doc
Grated with the cross Of st. George. the highest
military order Of the empire. But tho way In
which tho work was accomplished is not stated
la this telegram either. and we shall have to
wait till some Russian newspaper brings US an
official report of the occurrence.
This incident is triling. but characteristic
one. for ii fairly represents the unsatisfactory
sort Of information which the world is likely TO
receive Of the progress OF this war.
The reasons for such state OF affairs are
manifold TO begin with. both Russia and
Turkey put difficulties in the way Of corre-
spondcnts Joining the armies. In cases where
they have granted permission. they subject to
censorship all the reports about to be forwarded.
and make il Il condition that the correspondents
shall not 60 to the advanced lines. but remain
at tho headquarters under the control Of a

Standing army wanted.

In the height Of the riots. the n Y
Herald published a telegram from
Washington reporting the views Of Mr..
William NJ Evarfs On the topic Of TIE
hour We quote:
MIR. Evarts. the Secretary Of State, re
gards the matter from legal and philo
sophical standpoint and in the course Of
an Interview this evening said in effcc
that, although there is much 70 deplore
in what has happened, it's likely that
much good will come out of H., and that
as nation we shall learn some very
good and practical lessons from il. The
foremost and most important OF these, he
thinks. viii be that which viii come home
to Congress in the way Of what IS most
salutary in regard to the regular army.
He remarked, with some what sarcastic
tone, that it had been popular heretofore
to say that this country did not need a
large standing army, and hence there was
no necessity for keeping up the expense
of a useless and superhuous military es-
tablishment. But now 1t could be plain
ly seen, in the light Of recent events. +
how potential! and acceptable they were
in preserving the public peace ana IN the
restoration OF law and order. IL was
evident that they were much more desir-
able and etfcacious in cases OF popular
csmmOtion and disturbance than the mill
tia, " no could not always, from the ma
ture of things and heir home sympathies
be entirely relied upon to suppress mob~
violence. The superior discipline and .
absence Of sentiment in the United States
military organization had always proved
equal to the duty of excrting the power +
required to repress lawlessness. This +
had been conspicuously shown in our re I
cent Southern political history. Seretars .
Evarts thinks that in view of the expert
ence we have had lately that Congress
will not object at its next session to pro-
vide more literally for the army
There is 10 reason to doubt that this
is the utterance of Mr. Evarts He
too is in favor OF large standing at
my, and he thinks Congress will not
now object to provide more literally
for the army. lie wants great ADD
powerful military fq9e ready to obey

action of the Com missiUuers of the
Board of City Works yesterday, in
discharging large number of luborer,
who were engaged in hliiugup suuken
lots. has led to severe criticism. not
only among the men who were atFecIed
by the action, but also among many
taxpayers, who recognize the proprie-
ty OF giving work to the poor Iaborers

they may be enabled 10 save little
money and make provision OF some
