LONDON, September 6.--'rhe Times
Vienna dispatch says the Russians
have abandoned the upper LON line
and have withdrawn their right wing
on that side, which was at PopkOvi,
to line where they can keep in con.
tact with the forces guarding the road
from Osman Bazaar. Mehemet ali has
thus gained all undoubted strategical
success by his victory at Karasan. All
depends on how he will use 1t.
The Daily News correspondent tele-
graphs from Georgova September LIST,
and shows that the Turks, as the result
of their victory at Karasan, occupied
the large mountain, the moving key of
the Rasgrad position and commanding
almost equally to the LON, and the
Russian position at Obaka and Geor-
gova.
The correspondent says, acting sole.
ly on the defensive, the czarowich will
have little difficulty in keeping his
present line intact, with the possible
exception OF the loss of the Georgova
position. On the other hand the
Turks are much too strong to be mac.
tive In the face of an inferior Russian
force, and the chances are great that
the valley of the Kara LON will soon
be the theatre OF decisive battle OF
large proportions. A subsequent tele-
gram shows that the Russians have
evacuated Georgova and retired to
Palowarka. The Times correspondent
says the Turks and Egyptians pursued
them thither.
The Times Bucharest dispatch OF
September 9Th, says that the autumnal
rains have begun; that 1t has been
raining continually since last night.
The Times In an editorial leader
urges very strongly that England
should offer mediation, with the con.
currence OF other neutral powers.
Offers of mediation could be based
upon the recommendation made by
the Constantinople conference of last
winter. In this connection the Daily
News Bucharest correspondent says:
Peace is impossible, until the Turks
are completely conquered. The war
has become u dynastic one for the Ro.
manofis az much as the Franco-Prus-
sian war was for the Napoleons, IL
the car entered Moscow, after con-
Guiding an unsatisfactory peace, 1t
would have to be Mt the polnt of the
bayonet, and should be as we'll known
abroad as II il in Russia.
The late Russian successes at Lovat2
places Osman pasha In the awkward
position OF having hostile force on
both TANKS. Either defeat at Plevna
or on attempted withdrawal might re.
suit in the destruction OF his army,
unless the Russians are compelled to
weaken their force on that side III or
der to meet Mehemet ali's advance
from Rasgrad. The latter seems to
place the czarowltch's army in a posi-
ton very similar to Osman pasha's. II
the Turkish accounts may be trusted,
aud they seem to be confirmed in
these particulars by Russian admis.
sions, Turkish force has crossed the
LON, and reached the neighborbood Of
Obiertenis, while another force has
crossed the Kara LON to P0lalarka.
These corps are understood to be ad /.
vancing against Blela, but they je0p-
ardize the whole Russian campaign
east of Yantra, az well as communica-
ton with TlrDova.
A Constantinople dispatch, though
not through regular channels, says the
Russian batteries at Shipka pass have
been silenced, Turkish shells having
exploded the Russian powder maya
zine.
