THE AsHATIC CAMPAIGN
The Battle Before Kars-TurIkish Ac-
count of the Result.
New YORK, June ia cable special thus
describes the fighting before Kars:
Saturdays fight was renewed at DAYLIGHT
Sunday. The Russians had effected iodg
ment in one of the outer earthworks during
the previous night, and the struggle was san
culinary in the extreme. The Russians held
their ground during the whole of Monday and
Monday night. On Tuesday the Turks began
the fight with the most desperate sorties. Ac-
cordng to correspondence from Turkish
source, this resulted on Tuesday in the dis
Judgment of the Russians, who were ineffi-
GENTLY supported. The Turks succeeded in
surprising the Russians by flank movement
and the slaughter which followed was very
great, the Russians asking no quarter and the
Turks offering none. The last act of the Rus
sian gunners was to spike the Turkish field
pieces which they had captured in the redoubt.
This was after the struggle had become hand
to-hand fight, and guns were of no further SER
vice. Retreat became impossible and nearly
every gunner's corpse was found near the gun
he had managed. The Turks speak of the
heroism of the Russians The Turks having
again assumed the offensive, and gaining cour-
age and desperation with success, sailed out to
attack the Russians in open ground. Mean
while reinforcements were hurrying to the Rus
SLAMS from Fennak, Arabian, Gumry, Hagish-
man, Souricawiche and Soghauler. The sor-
ties of the Turks only served to tire out the
men, while the Russians repulsed every attack
with apparent ease, Later and fuller details
are expected.
A Great Battle Imminent.
A despatch from Erzeroum states that great
battle is imminent all along the Turkish line
between Kars and Erzeroum.
Mukhtar Pasha Reinforced.
A correspondent at st. Petersburg telegraphs
information from the headquarters of the Rus
sian army in Armenia that Mukhtar Pasha has
been reinforced by twenty battalions from Ire
blonde. This will enable the Turks to pro-
long their resistance.
Mukhtar Pasha's Position.
ERzERoUM, June 13.-Mukhtar Pasha's DO.
stion at Zerim is believed unassailable. The
Turkish right confronts the Russian left in the
open dirtrct of Abashkirt. An engagement is
imminent. A Russian detachment Of the cen

SERVIA.
Warlike Preparaiious,

VIENNA. June ia letter from Belgrade
says the reorganization of the forces is all but
complete. In the active army only men are
taken who are drilled and have seen active
service. Others are enrolled in the second class
reserves. The former are tolerably well armed
with breech leaders. Guns which were hidden
in the ground at Alexinatz and other places SO
as to be safe from the Turks, have all been re-
covered and made efficient. Repairing of old
and construction of new Notifications have
been going on vigorously, especially over all
the Timok country line of the Danube in that
direction has received special attention.
Glodova has been made a quite strong en-
trenched position, as has also Kadujenatz at
the confluence of the Timok and Danube. The
works generally are not armed, but guns and
ammunition are stored in the station to rear
to be brought forward as wanted. There are
stores and provisions collected in more exposed
points which are kept intact despite the
want of population in the Timok district. The
militia has not been called out except for the
usual drill, but all have been warned to be
ready at the first summons. Members of the
Servian corps have received similar warning.
A Vienna despatch says that before leaving
Belgrade Prince Milan was reminded that any
attempt on the part of Servia to resume hostii-
ties will be Immediately followed by Austrian
occupation.

The Car and Money.

In money matters the Gar is perfect
child. Although in many respects a
highly cultivated and fairly intelligent
man, he has never been able clearly to
understand the difference between q
roub.e and kopeck. He will at times
squander thousands, and at other mo-
ments haggle about sixpcnce; not be-
cause he is extravagant or avaricious, but
simply because he has no idea of the real
value of money. The following anec-
dote, illustrative OF this singular intel
lectual deficiency, has caused much
amusement in st. Petersburg. Count
Adlerberg, the Cars most intimate
friend, is often in debt, and the emperor
since his accession to the throne, has un-l
grudgingly paid millions to release him
from his embarrassments. One day last
winter the count appeared at court,
coughing violently, and looking very i'll.
"What is the matter with you, Adler
bergl" asked the Car. "Severe bron-
chitis, SIRE" replied the count. "My
doctor says that ought to go to Nice
for u couple of months" "Then why
don't you go9 l will give you leave" 81
cannot afford the journey, SIRE" "Never
mind the expense, will defray that"
The count frightened up. II will de-
fray the expense" in the empcror's
mouth, could not mean less than ten or
twenty thousand roublcs. The next
morning his Majesty sent for the count,
aud graciously handed him five hun
dred rouble note! Less than $40, at the
present rate of exchange, for two
