show the Russians have made nc
preparations against bad weather. The
road to the pontoon bridge show no
sign OF road-making, although one
hundred infantry are idling away time
there.
The weather has been exceedingly
dry for months, consequently the roads
were very hard. II IA rain OF one nights
duration could produce effects such as
desired, II may be easily imagined
what will be the consequences
when u number of raintalls occur In
rapid succession.
A part OF the Drabudscha force has
already passed through Roumania and
again crossed the Danube about ten
miles about Rustchuk, but operations
on the other side are delayed by rain,
which has rendered all the roads prao-
tically impossible for artillery and
trains.
A great part OF the line of communi,
cation with the army is over low car
tracks, beaten into dust in fine weather
and churned into deep mud in rainy.
Wood Is scarce in the country occu-
pied by the Russians, and the enor.
nous force about to be- encamped in
the heart Of Bulgaria will probably
have 1t as bare as the allies left in the
plains before SebastepOol.
During the occupation Of the Dab
rau dscha lately, the sick were sent
back at the rate of three thousand per
day, and there are signs OF increasing
sickness within the lines on the other
side OF the Danube.
The news that Suleiman pasha is fair
Nv across the Balkans, seems to be con-
firmed from several sources. A Reu-
ter's Shumla agent says.a portion OF

POLITICAL NOTES.

The greenbackers of Minnesota, under
the command of ex-Congressman Don
nelly, are to hold a convention June 20
for the purpose of nominating a State
ticket.
The constitution of Oregon was SO
framed that it has been impossible for
that State to run into debt as other States
have done, in flush times, and the whole
State is happy in consequence.
Governor Stanford, of California, au-
thorizes the announcement that he is not
a candidate for United States Senator
He ''could not afford and would not be
willing to accept the position if it came
to him without solicitation"
The Wisconsin greenbackers, at their
State convention in Sparta last week ap-
pointed State committee, adopted series
of resolutions, and recommend a "supple-
mental" convention in Portage CITY,
July A, to nominate State ticket.

for her the postinastership of the town in
which she lives. She bases her claims
ON the fact, as she states, that she acted
as a Confederate spy during the wal

was the means of saving Beauregard's
army from capture. The "application'
