The striking miners were very quiet
Yesterday. Quite large number are al
Mrngo and have forced the MIngo Iron
Works miners to quit work, notwlth-
standing they protested that they were
satisfied with the compensation, and de,
sired to continue at work. The minin.;
companies do not seem disposed to call
on the authorities Tor protection.
Mules are being taken out OF the pits
to-day for the first time in several years.
1t is believed that the strikers will next
visit the mines ut Rush Run and York

political circles the opinion prevails
that Russia has purposcly delayed pms
sage Of the Danube, hoping that vic
tories in Asia Minor would CAUSE the
Sultan to sue for peace. The Gear
breads the certain slaughter that will
follow the attempt to cross, but should
the reports OF Russian rcverses in Ar

p'lied to move. The feeling has been
growing for the past few days TINT the
task OF Russia is not 80 easy aG it ap-
pcared. II the Turkish troops arc jn-

Past 5;nnngrn,cnt ortt Navy Depart
nlcnt,

It will bc remembered that ut tho last
session OF Congress. the charges Of cor
ruption in, aud maladministration Of,
affairs in the Navy Department, was
made by tho lower house. and that IN
investigation was attempted, but was
rendered nbortiYe by the strong oppo-
sition encountered from the friends Of
its then Secretary in the Senate, who
vchemently protested that the only OBJ
ject OF such investigation was political
persecution, and that tho charges pre-
ferred were utterly without foundG;on.
Whether these charges were groundless,
nnd whether nm untrammeled cXamina-
tion into tho official conduct of tho
heads of TINT Department would not
have proved both advantageous and in
t"resting to tho country mt large, may
be submitted to II discriminating pubc
after it has pcruscd and digested the
following result of final exhibit from
Washington:

the pay account Of the navy has
taken place during the current fiscal
year. An examination of the navy pay
appropriations shows that the amount
appropriated by Congress during tho
past year WAS nearly 81 900. 900 lurger
than the average appropriations, and
$1,000 larger than the appropriations
for six years past. This sum hns been

entire sum lost in the navy nppropria-
tion is from $3,000,0G0 TO $1,000, 600.
