tiOn Of the campaign and stating tilat tt'e

ed. Receiver 'rillinghast promising II the
strikers did not make Is cents per hour
by working at reduced rates for the next
80 days he will raise their earnings to that
figure
The Public" says the effects Of the
great strike are even more clearly seen in
the bank transactions. Of the week ending
August 4th than in those OF the week
preceding. Cities which escaped imme-
diate effects now feel the consequences
through their general trade, and especial
Iy through their dealings with the cities
most disOrderly, while at Chicago, st.
Louis, Louisville and Pittsburgh the de-
preston of basiness Is very great.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The Times Lon
don special says communication with the
front has been almost wholly severed for
four days. A decisive battle is believe to
be In progress. The Russian position is
precarious, and they are no further adj
Vanced than they were three months ago.
Ample Information as to atrocities has
created a very strange anti-Turkish feeling
In England. A powerful Russian party
is groNiig and assuming position of
prominence. Public sentiment now favors
the subjugation of the Turks and the set
Element OF the terms OF peace afterwards.
Osman Paha is being attacked and the
battle is now raging. The compaign of
the present year will certainly be settled
within the next 4S hours.
NEW YORK, PaSha, Turkish command
er In the recent successes OH the lines Of
the Vid and Osmans rivers, is disposed to
humOr the disposition OF the Russians to
attack him in his strongholds, and coolly
&c ects his own positions. While Russians
were engaged In concentrating large
force, designed at all hazards to redeem
the defeat at Loftscha, Osman Pasha Sc
lected tile village of Vladina, on the spur
OF u mountain ridge running southwest
and northeast As the point at which to re-
ceive the attacks. In this position his
right was protected by the river 0sman
and the town of EoftScha, and his left by
entrcnchmeL ts which he hau time tOgreat-
" strengthen. Early on Tuesday, the
TIN, the Russians advanced to the attack,
opening with their usual fire of artillery,
which played tiercely on tile Turkish
position. Ihe Turkish artillerymcn re-
piled with equal vigOr aud the duel with
cannon WAS kept up for a considerable
time. Under cover Of the roar aud smoke
OF guns, movement was made by the
Russians on the TANKS and centre Of the
Turkish position. The Russian infantry
poured In masses OH tile Turkish works
and were received with the dogged resls-
ia &c which has always characterized the
Turks behind entertainments. A firm and
bitter fire was kept OH the assailants, un-
der which tiey recoiled and at last fell
back, leaving the ground in front OF the
Turkish works covered with dead and
wounded. The repulSe was only tempOr-
ary, However, for the Russians with spIen-
did gallantry reformed and charged = gain
and again upon the obstinate defenders,
Dut wlIi tlle same unavailing and dread
iul y fatal results As in the first onset.
Nothing but undounted pluck could have
withstoOd the Russian assaults, persisted
