WAR NEWS.

A st. Petersburg telegram of the 18th
Czarovitch, was about to start for the Rus
sian headquarters on the Danube. Active
operations, it was thought, would be COM
menced Immediately upon his arrival. There
was a report that the Russians had captured
Arabian, in Asia Minor. Servia has declar-
ed her intention to take no part in the war.
\ Vienna dispatch of the 21st says
that the Roumanian and Russian authorities
have issued decree prohibiting all traffic on
the Danube, but that Count Andrassy has
decided to take immediate steps against such
measures being carried out. The Russians
made another determined onslaught upon
the Notifications at Kars, on the Goth,
as reported from Turkish sources.
and were again repulsed with great loss.
Rumors are in circulation in Vienna that ne
gOtiations are pending for a triple alliance
between Germany, Austria and England. A
Bucharest dispatch announces that Rou-
mania has proclaimed her independence and
declared war against Turkey, but will re-
main on the defensive.
A Paris dispatch of the 22d reports
that war between Greece and Turkey is con-
sidered inevitable.
Advices from Asia Minor on the 23d
report that the Mohammedan insurrection
in the Caucasus has proved serious check
to the advance of the Russian army The
insurgents are constantly harassing Russian
outposts. A large force of Circassians at
tackled the Russians near the frontier, and
compelled them to retreat.
A Constantinople dispatch of the 25th
says that on account of threatening de-
monstrations by the Sofas, an order had
been issued simultaneously with a procla-
nation of martial law, which forbids the
carrying of arms, authorizes domiciliaTy
visits of police in quest of arms, au-
thoriZes the Punishment of suspected
persons without previous trial, and fOrbids
the assembling of crowds in the streets.
dispatch from Erzeroum says that Mukhtal
Pasha's headquarters are to be removed tC
that place, which is the point of junction o.
all Armenian roads, and is the only place
from which operations can be directed.
1t was reported on the oath thai
measures had been adopted for the gradu
al mobilization of the whole Russian army
to crush Turkey by superior strength. Rus

the Danube in force till the middle of June

A Panorama of the War.

This is street scene in Kars. We
don't know who seen it, but we know it
was saw. Probably some Russian car
it. The city is in state of siege. The
gentleman in the foreground, feeling
over his head for the ground, is pri-
vate gentleman in Cossack regiment.
He is not feeling very well. He is i'll.
A moment ago he met fifteen-inch
shell, and was too busy to get out of the
way His stomach, lungs, and swal-
lowing thing went on with the shell, and
he will never smile and never enjoy
square meal again. His comrades wish
to send for the doctor He declines. He
says he does not need him. He is right.
He can. die without him. The doctor
will weep when he learns the Cossack is
dead. He will bend over his ifeless
form, and then he will weigh it, and put
it in an item, to the last ounce, as
tumor he removed from a gentleman in
Scott County. Truly, in the midst of
life we are in debt.
The gentleman in gunny-bag trousers
and long pipe is Turk. He is the
friend of the American journalist, who
uses him to make puns of. He will not
last much longer, at the rate the Ameri-
can journalist is using him up. This is
all that any body knows about the Turk
or Turkey. Move the panorama on.
This is Russian General. See the
wide landscape stretching away in the
dim distance. Let her stretch-it
doesn't cost us any thing. You can not
see the Russian General for his name,
but he is there all the same. You can
smell his breath. He eats tallOw can
dies. This makes him light-hearted.
His name comes in by the big rock on
the left, follows the course of the mean
dering brook in the valley, winds slowly
up the mountain side, and disappears in
the direction of Ulpblowitch. 1t is nine
miles long, without the titles. When
his mother used to call him up to break
fast, she started at O'Clock p. m, took
long breath, and talked it off till
morning.
This Is a telegraph-ofice The bright
looking young man at the table Is
Western Union operator. The little
brass and steel thing ticking away on
the table is the instrument. The ope-
rator is very easily distinguished from
the instrument. He can not talk so fast
as the instrument, but he can sleep a
great deal more. He is going to sleep
now. The man leaning over the counter
is heartless citizen, who has the cheek
TO ask the operator to send a dispatch
for him. The operator takes the mes
sage. But he does. not send It. He
hasn't time. He loses nine games of
checkers while that citizen is wondering
why he doesn't get any reply to his dis
patch. Then the citizen starts out to
walk to the place and see the man. He
finds him, and, soon after they meet,
the dispatch comes along. He is affect
ed to tears. The operator finds him,
and charges him 40 cents for sending
the message, As cents for the wear and
tear of the instrument, 50 cents for the
strain on nervous system, so cents for
collecting rate on message, 50 cents on
general principles He learns afterward
that the citizen yet has some money left

Two rows of six figures each were given

solved with like readiness. He then

the house was awakened by the entrance
of her sister, who was acting in the most
singular manner and asking constantly
for writing materials. Her nervous
system seemed to be highly excited, and
she did not appear to be in her right
mind, though it was not case of SOM
nambulism. Paper and pencil were given
tc her, and she Immediately covered the
former with scrawls which were hardly
decipherable. She soon quoted down
and lapsed into her normal con-
dition, when the two ladies set
themselves to work to decipher
the writing, in which they were finally
successful, finding; however, it all to be
a repetition of the sentence, /" She has
hid thunder the stool" They decided
that % she" meant the new servant, and
proceeding to the latter's door they
Knocked for admittanee. At the foot of
the bed stood covered stool, the cover
reaching to the floor. Highly excited,
the ladies rushed to it, tipped it over,
and there lay the lost purse, with its
contents intact. The servant from the
outside of the door had closely watched
the ladies' movements, and as they
placed their hands upon the stool she
turned, ran down stairs, unlocked a
door, and rushed into the street and
away before she could be apprehended,
since. So far from being spiritualist,
the lady is very positive in her disbelief
of any such agency, and, moreover,is an
old-school Presbyterian, and in accord
ance with her religious doctrines is OPP
posed to any. such theory as spiritualistic
influence.
