Russian official dispatch, dated Bogot, Noyem-

General Kanzeff announces the capture of Dae-
Tetewen, northeast of Orchanie, where there were
seven large and thirty small fortified positions. The
Turks left upward OF 100 dead on the field. Our
loss was insignificant. We seized large quantity
of provisions, tools for intrenchments, cartridges.
and a herd Of CATTLE
Yesterday the Grand Duke Nicholas inspected the
positions we haye occupied at Gony -Dubnik, from
which the Turks, on the approach OF the Russians
on the 31st ult.. withdrew during the night to
Plevna. Thus this important point has passed into
our hands without fighting. The same day We adj
yanced from Dubnili two versts Il 20 miles, nearer
to Plevna. We are also intrenching in new posi-
tions toward Orchane. Our infantry occupied
Lukowitza and the cavalry made further advance.
"Chetket Pashai is retiring without fighting towards
0rchane."
REPORT FROM TURKISH SOURCES.

Sophia, evidently based Turkish reports, gives
the news as follows:
Fighting continues on the Orchanie and Pleyns

Orchanie and Lovatz roads. The Russian advance
has been repulsed with heavy loss. Reinforcements

DR. DISCONTINUED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Now 4-The report, which has
gained some currency within the last week that Sec
rotary Sherman had been urging upon his associates
in the Cabinet the necessity Of cutting down their
estimates for the expenses of the next fiscal year be-
cause of reduction in the expected revenues, and
the consequent danger that there might be a de-
fciency is pronounced by the Secretary himself TO
be untrue IT is fact that he has urged upon the
several departments of the Government that thew
shall reduce their estimates as low as possible. lie
does this in order that the Administration NAV
share with the House Of Representatives any
credit that may DO due for enforcing econ
omv in the public expenditures. 1t has for
many years been customary, especially IN some de-
partments. for estimates TO be prepared on the
theory that Congress would certainly cut them
down 20 or 80 per cent and that it was therefore
necessary to make them large in order that they
might be sufficient aftcr the reductions should take
place Especially was this true of estimates sub
United by the Bureau of Engineers for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors and for the construction
and repair Of Notifications also OF those submitted
by some of the Bureaus of the Navy Department
Secretary Sherman desires that tho estimates IN all
these departments shall be made in good faith for
the exact amounts which the departments actually
need. This will leave a much smaller margin fog
reductions by the House Of Representatives, and
will enable tho Administration to share with that
body any credit which may DO duo for cutting down

WAsHISGToN, Nov. 1.-The invest cation now in
progress into the management of Indian affairs is
said to have disclosed new method invented by
beef contractors to swindle stho Indians. Three
years ago Professor Marsh reported that the Indians
at Red Cloud were being cheated in the weights Of
their meat the contractors and inspectors simply
guessing at the weights Of cattle by looking at them
instead of driving them upon the scales. Since the
investigation which followed Professor Marsh's ac-
cusatons system of weighing has been adopted al

fair enough but for the fact that the inspectors at
one or two points have allowed themselves, TO be
hoodwinked by the contractor. large corral. it is

Death has robbed US of two of our most cher
ished and best loved during the past two weeks
"She will come no more are sad words ant
carry to our boscms a world of sorrow, wher
we think of the young, pure and loved Carrie
Wolf, whose life went out in the very summer
dream of her existence. But will she come nc
mora, forever? No! never, never. What
meaneth this soft, sweet whisper-falling like
balm upon the weary, broken spirit, the de.
spending heart? 1t is a cqeering whisper
breathing of the bright Beyond; of the hoped
for Hereafter. She is there, fairer, happier
purer. Shall we wish that she should again be
where the shadows come often-where bitter
tears are falling, and the summer flowers are
feding. Mono! We could not call her back
from land of eternal sunshine and joy; but
when it is said of US, ''They are gone to come
again no more" may it also be said: In the
Land of the Hereafter, have they met theil
loved and lost
Carries gone! Carries gone, we laid her to rest
E'era ds<ad cloud of care had entered he1
breast;
When her songs were of gladness her smiles
those of mirth,
We placed her in sadness in the dark dreary
earth.
We placed on her bosom one of summers fair
roses,
And that sister of beauty with Carrie reposes;
We gathered of flowers the fairest that bloom,
To lay with the one we had decl1ed for the
tomb.
How few that in life with fond wishes ne'er
part
How few disappointment ne'er stung with its
dart;
But each trembling desire, each hope that had
burned,
Were in Carries fair youth to realities turned
The prayers of her father, how earnest, how
That no sorrow might darken the life of his
child
Oh! mourn not fond parent, God has answered
them now,
No grief shall be traced ON her cold marble
brow.
Hopes star still was shining, the future was
bright,
When life's current was frozen, her spirit took
flight;
Too warm was her soul for cold world like
this,
She left it and sought one in heaven of bliss.
Sleep on gentle Carrie, gone early to rest
Sleep on gentle Carrie, we know you are blest-
Sleep on gentle sister, for though we may weep,
We would not disturb thy calm happy sleep.
Ye warblers of morn that first greet the day,
Sing softly where sleeps Carries beautiful clay,
Ye zephyrs of evening that carry perfume,
Oh, watt it in gentleness over her tomb.
The dew drops for ages shall weep o'er her
grave,
The willow and cypress in sorrow shall wave ;
Heavens tears there shall fall-the winds sigh
and moan,
But no sadness shall enter her calm, peaceful
home.
Dream on gentle Carrie, though we never will
greet,
Your coming in joy-your voice ever sweet,
We never will murmur that you slept meath
the sod.
For thy spirit of purity rests with its God.

On farm in this county, man now
ing where the grass was heavy, came
afoul of setting turkey. Although on
the lookout for her, and much to his
sorrow, cut off both feet. She had
nest full of eggs, within few days of
being hatched-they were put under
other hens. Her legs were bound up as
comfortbly as could be, and her appetite
seemed very good, and in all respects
was doing we'll. Presently chicken
hen, with large flock of chicks, less
than a week old, was found dead a few
mornings after, and the little things
nesting among her feathers as we'll as
they could. The second night after their
orphanage, they found their way into
the coop where this MANNED turkey hen
was sitting on her feet-less stumps, and
took shelter under her, and ever since,
she, though unable to accompany them
through the day, seems greatly delight
ed at the opportunity to shelter them at
night, and has thus fully entitled her.
