IN ASIA.

The principal feature during the past
week has been the partial withdrawal OF
the Russian right wing and the closer in
vestment of Kars and Batoum. The to-
tai Russian force available for active ope-
rations in Asia Minor is about 10000.
OF these 10000 are around Kars, 10000
between kars and Batoum, aud 10000
between Kars and the line ofBayazid and
Toprak Kaleh, thus leaving about 10000
for the centre against Moukhtar Pasha's
10000 in strong position. These figures
show the Russians have no men to spare
if they intend TO keep the country they
have so far occupied, though If their OBJ
ject were simply to effect rapid advance
and defeat the Turks as preliminary to
peace, there is nothing 10 prevent their
doing so.
