CROSSING THE PRUTH.

Upon entering the carriage, which, like most
railway carriages in Russia, was built on the
American principle, all in one compartment, 1
found active and mysterious preparations going
on for some remarkable ceremony. Bottles and
glasses were drawn out from under the seats
and bottom of travelling bags; those who were
asleep were rudely awakened and told to get
ready, as we were on the point of crossing the
Pruth. The sleepers grumbled, but began,
nevertheless, to rub their eyes and to pull out
bottles and glasses, and soon about twenty OF
US were ready to celebrate the passage Of the
Pruth. The train soon started the windows
were lowered, and in five minutes the beams of
the bridge were seen fitting by In ghostly pro-
cession on background OF grsyish light-the
waters of the Pruth. Then tho glasses were
filled and emptied rapidly, with only a cheer
after each one, and the bottles began flying out
through the windows. The object was to empty
the greatest number of bottles possible while
crossing in order to pay the greatest possible
tribute to the Pruth. We drank to the health
OF the emperor first, then to the Pruth, then to
the war, then to Russia, then to the Turks,
while an uninterrupted stream of bottles poured
through the windows. These bottles had con-
tanned nearly everything known to the world In
the way of drink There was champagne. claret.
port, sherry, vodka, kvass. English pale ale,
Vienna beer, some vile Bessarabian wine bran
dy and Russian beer. and they were in such a
hurry to empty the bottles that there was no
time to choose what one would drink. MY glass
was first filled mp with what appeared to be
intended for champagne and had no sooner
swallowed it with wry face than the glass was
ii lied again with claret, which was q little bet
ter, and had no sooner got this down than 1t
was filled up with, some execrable sherry, and
as did not get this down so rapidly as the
other, my glass. still halt full of sherry, was
filled up with Vienna beer, which mixture
tried In vain to avoid taking, and before the
glass was half emptied il was again replenished
with what appeared to be vodka, for it burnt
like fire. and after that lost the sense of taste,
and could not give the most remote guess as to
what was drinking. 1t was useless to remon-
strate.- Corr. London Neacs.

UNDER the head of "The Lessons of t,

UNDER the head of "The Lessons of the
Centennial the american Manufacturer
says, 'Before the Centennial Exhibition
opened certain English technical journal
vigorously objected to British manufacturers
exhibiting. One of the alleged reasons given
for its course was that the English manufac-
turers would not learn anything from the
Americans, but the latter would learn great
deal from their more advanced cuusIus. This
one-sided business it did not like. The real
fact of the case is, the Americans learned
comparatively little from the English, or, for
that matter, from all the foreign exhibitors
combined, while the latter learned great
deal from them. Our visitors saw machinery
that they knew little or nothing of be-
fore, but they exhibited very little in this line
that would be adapted to this country. In
this respect the lessons of the Exhibition
were far more useful to our visitors than to
ourselves. The Exhibition taught our visit
ors another lessen, namely, that we were, in
many lines of manufacture, getting into con-
dition to commence competition that would
be severely telt. Nor was this lesson lost
upon them, for when the real situation was
exposed to their gaze they at once commenced
to sound the alarm to their manufacturing
countrymen. This was not only true of our
visitors from France, Germany, Switzerland.
etc., but the voices of our pompous and here
tofore over confident cousins were heard
among the loudest.'

ERzERoUM is virtually an open and de-
fenceless town. There is, it is true, as in most
of the older Turkish cities in Asia, citadel !;
and the town itself is surrounded by wall,
fanked by small bastions. But the strong
hold is in ruins, the walls have been allowed
to decay, and the armament of the works con-
sists of only few small pieces of ordnance
of obsolete patterns. The town is situated
upon plateau some 1000 feet above the level
of the sea, and the surrounding country is
mountainous. The winter is long and cold,
and snow falls in large quantities. DR.. Sand
with, who wlntered there during the siege of
Kars in 1896, describes such season spen-
there as ga most dismal penance to Euro
pean." The summer, on the contrary, is
short and hot. Situated as it is at the point
where all the main roads from Constantine
pie to the East converge, and whence they
again diverge as they continue their way
eastward, Erzeroum is town through which
very considerable amonnt of traffic passes !;
and it has been estimated that at least $780,
600 worth of English goods find their way
there annually. The population has been va
riously estimated at from thirty to fifty thou
sand.

Possibilities OF Peace.

The reported peace rumors from Europe
have probably some foundation in the desires
OF England and Austria, the one power wish
ing to put Constantinople out of all danger,
the other to bring the conflict to close be-
fore her Slavonic subjects become involved,
Russia can well afford to pause and listen, for
the waters Of the Danube are still too high to
be crossed, and every days delay is working
confusion in the Turkish councils and i'm
pairing the Turkish resources while it affords
the Czar needed time to strengthen his armies
in Roumania
That much is to be hoped from negotia-
tions is not to be believed, for no arrange
ment can well be effected on the European
side of the Bosporus which will satisfy Aus.
tria, or on the Asiatic side which will satisfy
England. 1t may be assumed that the Rus
sian demands in. Europe will be in accordance
with the repeated declarations of the Russian
government; that Russia will ask for no ter
ritorial acquisition, but will insist on the alb.
solute independence of Bosnia and Bulgaria.
To this programme the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy will be slow to accede, for both
German and Magyar dislike the idea of cor
don of strong Slavonic states upon their bor-
ders to which the sympathy of the Slavonic
subjects of the old empire will go out. Nor
will the proposition to give Bosnia to Austria
meet with more favor; the Hungarians will
fercely oppose any annexation of territory
which gives the preponderance to the rival
race.
In Asia, Russia will doubtless ask for Ar.
menia and will of course meet with English
opposition, for England will never consent
to see the valley Of the Euphrates in Russian
possession, and will iealously watch the first
step toward the acquisition of territory in the
neighborhood of the historic river. She will
insist that Russia has not even pretext to
claim Armenia until it has been conquered
by the Muscovite arms. And Austria for
her part will advance much the same objec-
ton and contend that Russia has no right to
ask for an acknowledgment of the indepen-
dence of Bosnia and Bulgaria until that in
dependence has been achieved. Before he
can reasonably ask for such terms the Car
will find it necessary to win great battles in
Europe and Asia. In all probability he will
attempt the old Russian game of dilatory ne
gotiation until the time comes for the for
ward movement of his armies. Even if he
wins his battles he will find much difficulty in
debating his terms of peace. Indeed there is
a stronger probability that negotiations will
result in general war, with Russia, Ger
many and Italy on the one hand, and
Turkey, Austria, England and France on the
other, than that they will result in the cessa-
ton of hostilities.

THE GREAT SILENT TURK.

The bulletins received at Constantinopl o
from Armenia have passed all understanding
and the editors of the Turkish journals have
been at their wits end to explain them without
offending the Minister of War One of the
scrbes hit upon an ingenious expedient-that
of calling Ahmed Mukhtar Pasha "great
silent man. "He is man singularly ret-
cent, who loves not correspondence, and has
only been waiting to have something to tele-
graph about. He has hitherto been operating
at distance from Kars, occupying strategeti-
cal positions and making the best disposition Of
his forces with the view of successfully oppes-
ing. the Russian advance, and has not always
had telegraph station at his elbow. Ahmed
Mukhtar Pasha, however is so we'll known
that we need not be surprised at the silence he
has hitherto preserved, and no doubt when q
victory is obtained he will telegraph more
fully. This was certainly clever apology for
the silence maintained by the general concern
of Erzerum.

As to the removal of the two Republican
judges in South Carolina, the Philadelphia
Times, Democratic, says: The Legislature
of South Carolina has just as much legal au-

cant as to declare judicial office vacant in
that state, and Governor Hampton should
pull up the revolutio nists at once with a
strong hand. His Leg ,islature has been wal

The most picturesque figure in the Russian
army is the Don Cossack, with his long black
lance and his devil-may-care face. A corre-
spondent of the London News describes him as
practical philosopher of manly, self-reliant'
and half-cynical type. The Cossacks ride
through Bucharest-fellows who never saw
town in their lives before-as il it were their
afternoon custom to make promenade on its
asphalt; they are always civil although pune
tilous IN the performance of their duty, and
they keep sober when bllited in public house
with money in their pockets and score of civil
lans around them eager to stand treat. While
riding between Bucharest and Oltenitza. this
correspondent met pair of these warriors jog
gng along with the peculiarly reckless, free and
easy air which seems the universal characteris-
tic OF the Cossack. They must have been wet
to the skin; they were uncommonly muddy;
they probably had slept in the field; it was
a faint chance that for hours together they
should see any one to whom they could makel
themselves intelligible; they could not tel
the name OF the place whittier they were
oouno, nor the army corps to which they be-
longed; they were, in short, the mere
Wallachian plain, and yet they cooked their
caps and cracked their whips and staggered
generally with as much aplomb as if they
owned half Wallachia Further on troup Of
Cossacks was in bivouac in field close to the
road. The rain had drowned out the fires, and
the ground was knee-deep in mud; but the
Cossaoks were not dispirited by their ungenial
condition. With some straw and some branches
they had thrown up shelters against the wind,
and in the lee of these they squatted on stones,
singing Justify to the accompaniment furnished
by one of their number, who whisted more
shrilly than any London street Arab Sew
eral lay stretched in the mud with the rain
streaming down upon them.

the 10 per cent. reduction of wages which

of the vast transportation system that
stretches through the Middle States from the
