LONDON, May 9.-The Times special

the military situation in Europe, says:
A simultaneous advance by he Carovan
road from Bayazid toward Erzeroum on
the left, from Alexandropol to Kars in
the center, and on the right toward Ba.
tCum, leaves little doubt that the object
Of the Russian operations is Erzeroum.
Moukhtar Pasha commands the junction
of the two roads leading from Kars
through the passes of Soghaule and
Dagh.
A Roumanian circular complains that
the proceedings of the Turks makes
Roumania's abstention from hostilities

pected at Ibrsil. Five Turkish monitors
are near by, evidently bent on an attack.
Adispatch from Erzsroum, dated Tues
day night, says that the Russians are
surrounding Soghaule and concentrating

ton at .Bordiz and Yenikeri. The Rus
sian force, which occupied Bayazid, is
now advancing in the direction of Kha-
moul and Antob, leaving Karakilisa and
Alashkirt on their right. Bayazid has
now been placed under control OF a Rus
siaa project Of police.
The Globe publishes the following,
dated Pera, Tuesday night: THE Rus
slams have gained an important victory

This is what a pilgrim writes from
Deadwood: Lot Jumpers are bold, bad
men; they jumped my lot. They also
dodge bullets aud let the wrong man get
shot. Night before last a man jumped
his brother in-law's lot, and when be was
upbraided therefor smote his kinsman's
hip aud thigh. The injured party got
his navy, found his man, took a good
aim, ired-and killed an innocent by

Alexis laid out a new street. We did it
by stealth, like thieves in the night, as it
were, to keep out the jumpers. Next
morning we went to take possession Of

THE papers that expected to make q
fat thing ont Of government advertising
will be, perhaps, somewhat disappointed,
Advertising experts will examine and
correct ell bills. Hereafter the govern
ment will pay no more for this kind OF
work than would be paid by a CONNER.
cial firm. This is the death knell of
many an impecunious sheet. But the
country can stand it and they can be
spared. The government has paid out
hundreds Of thousands of dollars of the
peoples money to keep alive little
%squeaking newspapers that could not
otherwise survive a change of the moon.
All this has changed, thanks to the efforts
of the Democratic party in behalf Of re.
trenchment and reform. Papers as well
as parties must stand upon their merits /.
Now let the government advertise for
bids and publish in the paper that will
take it for the lowest price, provided cir
culation is equal.
