War RulIefins.

The war kilograms from the 18th
to the 18th may be summed up to
the effect that in Turkish Asia the
Russians had managed to relieve
the garrison at Byszid, but had then
evacuated the town, which was de-
stroyed and full of unburied dead
bodies. They have also for the
present fallen back from Kars, and
the army of Mukhtar Pasha had oc-
cupied their earth-works in front of
that city. They hold Arabian, and
claim TO have received heavy rein
forcements and to be again advanc-
ing toward EIzeroum. So far, how
ever, the Russian campaign in Ash
attic Turkey has been a failure, and
it looks as if they were not going to
reach Constantinople by that route.
On the Danube the only impor-
tant news is a Russian telegram
which claims that they have carried
Nicopolis by assault, and that TO-
600 COssacks have, passed the Bal
kans without opposition and are be-
sieging the town of'Jeni, half way
between Jambori and Adrianopole,
and only $50 miles from CONSTANT
nople.
The entire country on the Tur-
kish side of the Danube appears to
be devastated, the inhabitants with.
out food or shelter, aud the Russian
army has TO carry all its provisions.
1t looks as if it intended 10 leave en-
trenched besieging forces at Rutsch-
uck and other fortified Turkish
towns, while the main body pushes
on over the Balkans toward Con-
stantinople. Why the Turks did
not defend the pass in the Balkans,
is not known, as it could easily have
been defended against large force.
Their generaiship so far on the Dan
ube appears very singular.
The condition. of affairs In Constan-
tinople is terrible. All work and
business seems suspended. The
government has stripped everybody
of all the money it can find, thou
sands of people are wandering about
without food, and the streets are
filed by q brawling and piraticsl
mob, day and night, and q series of
fires, robberies and massacres may
begin at any moment.
kilograms of the 18th confirm the
capture of Nicopolis by the Rus
SLAMS, who carried by assault some
heights which commanded the town,
and the Turks evacuated it. The
sighting was desperate, and the Rus
sian loss very heavy. They will
now bridge the Danube at Nicopo-
lis, and thus have gained an impor-
trnt advantage by capturing it.
The Russian army which crossed
the Balkans without opposition, was
composed of large force of Cos
sacks and Circ2ssians, without artil-
lery. 1t was met at Febditch, II
miles from Yeni Sargrah, by Tur-
kish army under Lehman Bey, and
q desperate battle ensued, which the
Russian army might have won had
not another Turkish army under
Rsouf Pasha came up, and between
the two the Russians were COM
pletely defeated, more than half Of
them killed, and the remnant driven
back through the Balkan pass, which
the Turks now hold.
A Roumanian army crossed the
Danube Fear Isaly on the 10th, and
it is expected that Austria will now
have to interfere on behalf of the
Turks to keep Sarvia from follow
ing Roumania. A great battle near
Rutschuck is expected at any mo-
ment.

It is a singular commentary on
the representative character of the
American press that, notwithstand-
ing the fact that not one newspaper
in the United States upheld Hilton
in his discrimination against the
Hebrews. at Saratoga, double the
number of guests were registered
at the Grand Union hotel on the
18th of juno than were recorded
on the same date one year preYi-
ously. Is the fact owing to an in
crease OF exclusiveness and nation
al and race prejudice among the
people, or that the press does not
represent the American people?

against the remonetizing of silver,
says he took his gun put in it q little

rammed down Wad4 in the shape
of reasons until he came to the last
two wads which filed her. to the
muzzle. Then he touched it of, and
the breach blew out and knocked
him spraWling. The last wads are
as follows:
eff silver is now remonetfzed; and es-
pecially If it is to be made, as proposed,
legal tender to any amount, silver will
most assuredly advance to par with gold,
and 1t Will be entirely immaterial with
the debtor whether he discharge his obi.
cations in either gold or silver. -
Reconciliation Of silver in the United
States will, therefore, undoubtedly bring

these reasons, must have q very Gu
rious opinion of popular intelli-
gence, If he don't know that to

Montreal needs a Mayor with q

there had arranged TO parade, July
II, the anniversary of the battle of
Boyne, when William of Orange
defeated the Catholic King James
I'd, but gave up their parade by re-
quest of the mayor, who said he
could not protect them from the
threatened assault of the Catholics.
Nevertheless several Orangemen
were shot, and one, a man named
Hackett, killed, and the rioters had
things their own way. the police and
military doing nothing for want OF
orders.
The Orangemen are a set of big
OTIS, no doubt, but they have 8 per-

any day, just as the Catholics do on

mayor of Montreal is evidently un-
