THE WAR IN TURKEY.
Summary of the Situation
Reasons for Believing that no
Important Action VIII take
Place at Once.

LONDON, July 15.-There is no
trustworthy news from the armies in
Balgara. The recent special dis
patches announcing that great bat,
ties were progressing there prove
entirely groundless, That the Rus
slams are closing in upon Rustchuk is
probable, although their concentra-
ton must still be in very backward
state, since telegraphic communica>
ton between Rustchuk and Shumla
was in act up to Friday. However,
a Constantinople dispatch, dated Sat-
urday, announces that the Russians
are approaching Rasgrad, and have
probably already cut the railway
near that point. 1t is conjectured
by some that the Turks will main
tain a defensive line extending from
Rustchuk via Shumla to Osman-
Bazaar, and will give battle in the
open. The Constantinople telegram
above mentioned strongly opposes
this presumption, since the chief
object of such defensive line would
be to protect the railway which feeds
the quadrilateral. This railway has
now been apparently cut by the Rus
slams without opposition. A more
plausible theory is that the Turks
will await the development Of the
Russian campaign in expectation that
Rustchuk and Shumla must be be-
sieged and one or both be reduced
before an advance on the Balkans
can be undertaken, They hope thus
to consume the season wherein Ope-
ratious are practicable, as Rustchuk
and Shumla are believed capable of
a heightened resistance, and mean
time the Balkan passes could be
strengthened and retorced, Two
things appear certain: first, that the
Russians cannot seize the passes of
the Balkans or Sophia by coup dc
main as was at one time expected,
since..the Turks have already taken
precautions against such movements;
secondly, the single bridge of Sim
nitza remains the only means of
communicating with and supplying
the army south of the Danube. AS
this bridge must be barely adequate
for day-tO. day requirements, and has
been several times broken by storms
and the current of the river, there
cannot yet have been any such accu'
mutation of material and transport
at Sistova as would justify a general
advance. 1t seems improbable,
therefore, that the Russians can
originate any very startling move
meut for the present, and if the Turks
choose to keep to their Notifications
adyices from Bulgaria bid fair to
continue of the same uninteresting
character as heretofore for several
weeks at least,
The Turks having withdrawn all
the troops from the Montenegro
frontier except the garrisOns Of the
forts and block house, Prince Nicho-
las is preparing to beseige Niosics
again.
The position in Asia Minor is toll
erably clear. Muktar Pasha is at
Kars with about 40, 900 men all told,
including the KRrs garrison. Gener>
al Melikoff is at Zaim with about
35. 900 men, but superior to the Turks

EVENT and COMMENT

Col. Julian Harrison. the we'll
known and popular Inspector at
Shoclyoe Warehouse, Richmond, kill
ed himself by Il pistol shot last Tues

have been accidental. He was aged 50.
In the case of Daniel Dean, charged
with the assassination of his nephew
Henry Fugate, in Scott county, the
jury hung, and new trial is to result.
The evidence was strong, but there
was doubt.

Garden, Tazewell Co., WE'LL nown
Lutheran preacher of considerable
ability, died June Both.
Auditor Taylor says he will soon
have the Bell Punches ringing in the

and the captain was soon up there
putting out the IRE. hasty look.
and lac yelled out, by Cd. BOYS,
we've got it this time; there's $50, :
600 here. He lifted the box out on
to the ground near the front wheel of
the coach, and taking off one of the
coach lamps lit it and sal down to
inspect the bonanza. Que of onr
guards went up to see it well done
1t was a weird sight, and | would like

Here were the horses with the driver
at their heads, then the passengers
with three masked men standing
near them, still as statutes, with
pointed guns, then the horsele less

it two masked men, eagerly taking
out and examining the packages,
making playful remarks all the while,
such as: "By George this is daisy"
"S25, G, O. D.; well, that's good
whiskey money!" "Hello check
here for $500 Wen put that back;
we don't want any checks" They
got very nice treasure there must
have been at least in currency and
dust $4,000. The currency the
captain put in his pockets, which
were ample; the dust was put into a
sack. The other coach being behind
hand, and the prospect being that it
would be delayed some time owing
to the storm, the robbers one by one
disappeared into the gulch with their
booty, and we, a sadder, poorer and
no wiser, lot, made ready to contin,
ne, should say that the captain
refunded few Enthusiastically $lO-I
to the passengers "to pay travelling
expenses" and gave several revolvers
back, after having shot them off and
taking the ammunition away.

ENDING THE RE-ADJUSTBRs.

The ENQUIRER of last Tuesday,
in its advocacy of Mr.. Daniel, para,
graphs thusly:
ITO pay or not to pay, that is the question
Whether tits nobler in mind to suffer
The stings and arrows of reputation,
Or take up arms against the ere adiusters, -
And by opposing, end them"
Again says the ENQUIRER:
adjust brothers, "adjust" with care,
Adjust in the presence of the poor debt air !
Now, all this is very fine in Mr..
Daniels Richmond advocate, but
means that the people who vote for
him vote to lay themselves on the
iron rack of taxation until their
joints crack and their blood oozes
from their noses and ears.
