LONDON, Aug. 28.-Present indica-
tons are that the Roumanians will
act under Russian orders. They have
been crossing the past few days over
the bridge at Korabia to operate in
the rear Of Plevna. A brigade of in
fantry with a battery of artillery and
three regiments of cavalry crossed at
Turner Magurelli. Horvitovitch,
commander in-chief Of the Servian
army arrived at Belgrade. Prepare
tions indicate that the Servians will
employ smaller force than last year,
but force possessing some organiza-
ton of a regular army is estimated ut
about 1900, and the best part Of the
first class militia, numbering alto
gether about forty thousand men,
seem to be all-reckoned upon "a the

lengthy speech to the "Moonshiners'
showing them the disgrace brought
upon the state by their course and
that vigorous measures would be en-

made that oil Of them would come in

Council BLUFFS, Aug. 25.-Two
spans of the Missouri River Bridge,
at this place, $50 feet each in length,
were blown down and almost wholly
destroyed during . violent rain and
wind storm which prevailed at an
early hour this morning. The storm
was from the north and struck the
easterly end of the immense structure
with such force ~ to wrench 500 feet
of it from its connection and topple
it into the river, twisting the large
wrought-ir0n stringers and columns
into an endless variety of shapes.
About one half the debris is out of
sight under water, and the remainder
lies on it's side 1T the foot of the hixh
embAnkment or eastern approach. 1t
is impossible ut this hour to give
anything like correct estimato Of
the loss, but il Is undoubtedly heavy.
The dismsntled piers, SO far % can be
ascertained, are uninjured, As is also
the remainder of the bridge, nine
spans in length. In consequence OF
this disaster, communication with the
West is wholly interrupted ct this
point for the present, but arrange
ments will doubtless be perfected
shortly, either for the erection Of tenn.
porary spans until permanent ones
can be supplied, or for the transfer OF
passengers and freight by ferry.

SOME superserviceable lackey of
Secretary Schurz, is telegraphing
west from Washington giving that
officer great credit for the successful
prosecution OF the thieves who have
been plundering government timber.
The truth about the matter is, that
this good work was originated, and
has been carried forward with great
success by Gen. j. A. Williamson, Of
Des Moines, who was appointed Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
Ia bureau of the Interior Department.
during the last year of Grants adj
ministrstion, by Chandler, then Sec
rotary of the Interior, in which Office
he has been retained by Schuz, the
successor of Chandler.
Some eighteen months ago, when
Gen. Williamson was appointed Com
missioner, he presently discovered
that plundering Of valuable timber
from government lands was being
carried ON in Louisiana, Minnesota,
and elsewhere ON the public domain.
These thieves had grown to be 20 I'M
blushing and impudent that they had
established large mills on these lands,
and were aided and encouraged by
the few neighboring settlers, who
conniyed at the thefts. He quietly
sent detectives to all the suspected
localities, seized all the logs, lumber,
RATS, and mills, aud has been prose-
cutting the thieves without fear or
favor in the Federal courts.
In the meantime some sleepy
Schurz penny-a-liner has just made
the discovery of what has been going
on for eighteen months, and forth
with he telegraphs 1t all over the
country % q great Schurz schieve-
ment, when, in point Of fact, Schurz
has had about as much to do with 1t
IS Julius Caesar.
But we suppose that the great cause
of Civil Service Reform will make 1t
the duty Of the Secretary OF the In
terror to allow these reports, which
give him the credit, and robs it OF his
subOrdinates, 10 20 abroad and re-

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The continue

description of Fridays battle in Schip-

Of the Turkish position was carried

Part of the troops who accomplished

back the Turks from his front. The
Turks will doubtless renew the attack
tomorrow Sunday with fresh
troops, probably both in front and
flank. They are reported as passing
on through q narrow and difficult
pass on each side of Schipka leading
down into Triavno. But l know

The NIlsslsSlppi Murder.

The st. Louis Times carefully
read the various accounts Of the
Chisolm tragedy in Mississippi,
and in grinding out an article on
the subject got up a back action
movement that resulted in this:
"The recital Of the atrocity makes
the blood cold. Nothing that the
Chisolms or their associates had
ever done or ever been accused
of doing could justify or excuse
shocking barbarities. The Re
publican press, doubtless out Of
consideration for Mr.. Hayes, has
as yet touched but lightly upon
these dark transactions; but it is
certain that they have caused q
considerable revulsion Of feeling
among those who are disposed to
deal kindly with the people Of the
South, and there is no m~istaklng
