Austrian consulate was riddled. The military
hospital in the Jews quarter received 70 shells.
They fell everywhere, aud no spot can be con-
sidered safe. Up toEthe 9th the Turks had
thrown 1900 to, 5000 shells into Giurgero.
However, though the streets here and there
are plowed up, and the houses bored through,
not more than one house in twenty or thirty

A new political organization whose os-s
tensible object is to secure local political re-

Comptroller Green, Oswald Ottendorfer and
ether prominent, citizens were connected last

York with view to taking an active part in
the next local election. The new organiza-

Democrats, and will be likely to trouble Tam

VIII ether their signatures for call for State
convention will violate the spirit Of the Presi-
dents order. AS the convention cannot be
called by any other means they hope the per-
formance of the formal duty above indicated
will not be considered as violation of the
Presidents directions The Postmaster Gen
eral replied that although he would prefer that
each official would interpret the Presidents
order for himself, yet he is Of the opinion that
to merely provide for the meeting Of the con-
vention and to call it to order without at
tempting to control its organization or future
action would not be inconsistent with the.
spirit of the Presidents Instructions. The
session Of the Cabinet the following day was
to the discussion of the ques-
ton whether federal Office holders of Wiscon-
sin can call alconvention. This question was
raised by the letter of Postmaster Reyes, of
Madison, chairman of the committee, but it
does not as yet appear that any conclusion
was reached differing from the line of policy
in the letter of Postmaster Key, as

VIM. Meister, young German,
while waiting for boat at Dubuque
on Wednesday, walked several miles
down the river. and then sat aown
under tree to rest. Whilc in that
position he heard the steps Of men
coming toward him, and. turning 20
look, saw pistol pointed al his head.
That was all he knew till nidnight
when he came 10 his senses, and
found himself in great pain, lying
partly In the water. There he lay all
night, and In the morning dragged
himself to farm house near by,
whence he was taken to Dubuque.
An examination of his wounds rev.
called that he had two balls in his
right temple, and two more bullet
holes about an inch apart over his
heart. On probing, the latter were
found to have glanced from the ribs,
to which fact young Meister probably
owes his iife-if the wounds do not
prove fatal yet. His pocket book con-
tanning all the money he had in the
world, was taken by the Williams, who
probably left him for dead.

The situation in Turkey, SO far AZ
developed to American readers, has
changed but little within a week. The
Russians are still laboring under the
effects of reverses, and are withdraw
ing, concentrating aud reinforcing, in
stead Of advancing and fighting. The
Turkish armies do not seem to be fol-
lowing their advantages with the
greatest possible vigor, as there have
been no considerable conflicts, but
they also are combining and moving
in toward the scene of the coming
struggle north of the Balkans. The
chief thing which appears to have
been decided by the late events is that
the war must last longer than the
present season.
