A Little UnplcasantneSS.
LONDON, June 7.-The Russian police,
owing to the reputation OF Roumania as a
gathering place for Poles and other tur-
bnlent characters, have deemed it neces-
sary 10 take even more than the usually
severe precautions for the safety Of the
Gar. As well as sending a host Of secret
police, they have demanded the unlim-
tied right Of arrest Of all suspicious in
dividuals in Roumania. The govern
ment refused to grant this, because it was
in direct violation Of both the Russo.
ROumanian convention and the Consti-
tuition OF the country. Duke Nicholas
manifested his displeasure at the refusal
by taking no notice Of Prime Minister
Brationo and NJ. Cogeducana, Foreign
Minister, when they went to meet him on
the occasion OF his last visit 10 Bucharest.
The Roumanian government, though it
has yet made no sign OF yielding, will
probably compromise by Consenting to
proclaim the state Of the siege, which
provides apermit to the exceptional meas
ures desired by the Russians. In other
respects matters don't appear to be going
quite smoothly, the Russians complaining
Of the i'll will and dilatoriness Of the
Roumanian authorities and the latter Of
the offensive and almost brutal behavior
OF the Russian officers.

TURKISH ACCOUNT OF AFFAIRS IN ASIA
LONDON, June THE following
is the latest account OF the Turks
Of the condition OF affairs in Asia on the
morning Of June q: Mukhar Pasha's
headquarters, with 8 battalIons, was at
Keoprekas. The Turkish right consist
ing Of 90 battaIions, was at Delibaba.
The Turkish left, IL battalions, was at
Gurdji, and their baggage about six
hours march from Erzeronm. The same
account only assigns 4 batteries OF artil-
lery 10 these 40 battalions, which seems
incredible, though it has been repeatedly
stated from various sources that the
Turks in Asia were almost destitute Of
artillery. This report places the Main
body OF the Russian right wing at Olti,
with the advance guard at Soghauli
Dagh. The Russian left wing has sus.
pended its forward movement.
A Russian detached column is ap.
proaching Van and has reached the
bridge at Beddimahan, twenty miles from
Van.
