Russia and Turkey.

LONDON, February l. A dispatch from Der.
lin says Russia does not care TO encounter Turk
ish troops in her present condition, nor does she
wish to abandon the campaign altogether. She
trusts she can support the strain of prolonged
mobilization better than Turkey She will there
fore keep troops on the frontier, thus compelling
Turkey to do the same If Turkey followed
Russiss example it is expected that before many
months the people will demand peace at any
price, because OF the consequent financial col.
lapse. If, however, Turkey in desperation de
eide to anticipate the Russian attack, the Rus
slams are sufficiently confident of the result. as
they would fight in their own country. The Rus
slams, in order to redoublc their pressure on
Turkey will probably cross the Pluth if not i'm
mediately at least at a later stage.
1t is not likely she will attempt the Danube I'M
til the Turkish fighting spirit is nsensibly dimin-
ished by delay. With a view to these contingent
cies the Russian army is continually inCreas ing,
while all southern tortresses are making ready
for defense. 1t is because of these circumstances
Turkey thinks il necessary TO ask Seryia fol-

open communication for up river travel and bust
connection has failed, the public interest demands
an outlet somewhere-either at Skowhcgan or to
Waterville. The first is the only sensible connec-
ton, but Watervile is better than no connection
with the Kennebec towns. To go from here to
Augusta and return, now requires two days,
wherea. with a connection with the Maine Cen
trail at Skowhegan or Watervillc, we could 90 and
return in one day, and have four or five hours for
business. The result is that all the travel goes
by team to Skowhegan, thence to Augusta by
cars. We hope that the managers of the Somer-
set Railroad will compass this, or if not that the
stockholders will
