In the NIe1cs a remarkable announcement
is made from Asia. 4 spocid correspondent
with the Russians to1egraphs from Karatal
that Aukhtnr Paaha has evacuated hts posi-
tion at KILL Tepe, which wss taken from tho
Duaaiaus few months ago, md also subata.
In an official telegram from tho Russian
headquarters It ia said to have boen in con-
sequence Of operations on tho I'd md 8l
inst, and tho occupation Of now positions
by the Russian troops, that the Turks nban.
doncd mostof their positions and commenced
rstraating. Il is affirmed that tho Russians
pursued them during the night and occupied
tho line Of Chadachivali, snbata, and Kul-
werdsn but, although this attempt to
give an air OF military compulsion to the
movements Of the Turks Ia very ingenious,
more natural explanation presents itself.
A correspondent at Karajai reports that tho
Russians had been compelled by bad weather
to return 10 the positions they Ind prevlous-
" occupied, aud the Turks may lavo moved
from t1eir positions for tho same purpose.

consulted with N. ii. Cook, ,an attacho
Of the department Of rublls Works,

the possibility Of obtaining access and destroy
Ing said vouchers. Cook examined thc Comp
trolcr's Office, and reported to Mt. Tweed that

In Ills hands aud he would attend to IL. IL was
subsequently, ascc1tnincd that tho Committee
called upon Connolly, the Comptroller, to pro-
ducc the vouchers. Connolly, being cognizant
Of what was going to take place, requested and
obtained q delay Of few days. during which

that there was provision OF law which author
lied tho appointment by the Court OF two TrEs-
tees, who would have powcr to take possession

by the advice Of Judge Fullerton. therefore
