FOR E I G. N.
The TurcO-Russian War.
RUMORED RUSSIAN VICTORY
AT ERZEROUM
Which Needs Confirmation, However.
KALAFAT AND LRRAIL bonn
RARDED.
FOR ZIG N.
A Holy War to be Proclaimed.

It now seems pretty clear that the reported
capture Of Kars was premature. Dispatches
from the Russian commander telegraphed from
st. Petersburg, yesterday. say simply that the
Russian cavalry had made reconnoisances in
the vicinity of Kars, and mention no fighting.
A despatch to the London Globe says that the
Turks had been defeated in front of Erze-
roum and fourteen thousand of them taken
prisoners. 1t is quite likely the Russians
marched by Kars in pursuit of the field army
of the Turks, which it was reported several
days ago had fallen back to Erzeroum and en-
countered it in front of the latter place with
the result mentioned. but in the face of past
experience the Globes despatch needs con-
firmatioD, especially as Reuter- despatch from
Erzeroum mentions no fighting There have
been no movements on the Danube of slgnG-
cance The Turks continued the lombard
ment of Kalafat yesterday and there was an
artillery duel at Ibrail without important re.
suit in either case. The Grand Duke Nicholas
teegraphs that all is we'll. The Roumanians
are anxious to declare their independence and
make common cause with the Russians. 1t
is again reported that the Sultan will proclaim
holy war. Mr.. Cross, foreign secretary made
statement of Engands policy Tue sdry,
which is given verbatim this morning.
THE AsIATIC CAMPAIGN.
Defeat OF the Turks Before Erzeroum-
Fourteen Thousand Prisoners Taken by
the Russians.
LONDON, May "a despatch from Erzeroum
at o'clock Tuesday night says the Russians
were then concentrating. for an attack on
a1ht b fnr nhnSa
force, which occupied Bayazid, was advancing
in the direction of Khomaui. Bayazd had
been placed under the control of Russian pre-
feet.
LONDON, May "a despatch from Pera to
the Globe reports severe battle between Kars
and Erzeroum. The Russians were victorious
and fourteen thousand Turks were captured.
A Reuter- despatch despatch dated Erzeroum
Wednesday, 10 p M, makes no mention of
any fighting. 1t reports that the Russian COL
umn which was going down the line of the
Turco-Persian frontier in the direction of Van
has stopped at Bayazid ION account of the i'm
impracticabilty of the country and the lack of
forage.
MOhammedan Rising i'm Circa ssia
ST. PETERSBURG, May ga fanatical rising
has taken place in the Tchetchentsi country 1n
consequence of the Turkish war One band of
500 insurgents was dispered by the troops, SO
being killed and 25O wounded. The Russian
loss was killed and II wounded. Martial
law has been declared in the province of Terek.
Russian Dispatches.
The following official despatch is received:
TIFLIs, May7.
Main body have reconnotered the neighborhood of
Kars. A column of cavalry has been sent to Kagis-
man.
One detachment is approaching Arabian and
another Dyaein. Every where the Russians
meet with friendly reception from both Chris
tiaDs and Mussulmans. Turkish prisoners are
glad to be relieved from the hardships Of mill
tary service.

"Hign Time 10 RIng Down the Curtain
of Mexican EOOlcry."

Chicago Times The release 10y the
authorities at Matamoras of five persons
under Indictment in Texas for murders
committed in that commonwealth is a
fragrant and deliberate violation of the
extradition treaty between this country
and Mexico which raises it from the
character Of an oiltnse against the local
government to that of q national outs
rage of which the Washington govern~
ment must take notice 1t is thus be-
come plain to the most casual observer
that conflict of arms on the Rio
Grande cannot be avoided, save 10y the
most humlliatlng surrender of every
point in controversy which the Amcri.
can government has taken, The pro.
lessions OF the Dina dynasty of its reNdi
ness to fulfill its governmental oblN
cations can not be accepted; for it is
made conclusive 10y events that it will
not or can not dos So To con
tnue the futile policy of diplomacy
would only be the prolongation of a
contemplate farce, which has been per
formed already much too long. 1t is
high time to ring down the curtain
upon such ioolery, There is but one
alternative. Either Mr.. Hayes govern
ment must back down, Withdraw the
order to General Ord, and let the Dor
der piracy 90 on as heretofore or an
American army must be ordered to take
possession OF the Mexican side of ,he
Rio Grande, and hold it against what
ever opposition may be made, If it be
said we do not want any more Mexican
territory, the answer is, we do not want
any more Mexican protectorate of piracy
and murder. That must he put down,
and as there exists in Mexico no gov>
eminent able or willing to put it down,
it must be put down by the strong arm
of America, Civilization demands it,,
Oar own rights and interests demand
it. The duty which the government of
America owes not only to the Ameri-
can people, but to the supremacy of
civilization over barbarism, demands it.

applied at the Jail at Goderich on Wed
nesday forenoon to be permitted to see
her father George May, from Exeter,
who was serving term of one month
for abusing his wife. She was admitted
at once, and the fathers surprise and
pleasure were genuine, the more so
when he learned that the little one had
walked most Of the way on foot. The
girl left her home in Exeter on the pre-
vious Monday evening, and walked
along the track towards Clinton until it
got dark, when she laid down in the
grass by the way and slept until morn
ing The journey was resumed early on
Tuesday, and maintained until thesvil
