LONDON, Sept pa Times Vienna CORE
spondent telegraphs Tuesday that the re-
ports about the fall Of Plevna, which have
been traced to Roumanian sources, have not
been confirmed from any side. It is various
ly surmised that the Russians having ap-
preached within striking distance, are wait
ing the movement of their turning columns,
which are supposed to have been sent to
flank Plevna or, that the Turks may have
fortified Plevna so strong that it is only to be
taken by gradual approaches. The whole
plan of attack may thus be changed. 1t is
stated from Bucharest that the kussians
have removed the bridge at Byrgois and
taken it to Petroscan, higher up the, river.

The Fighting Around Pleyna.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-It appears from the
details of the fighting at Plevna that on Fri
day the Russian guns played on the Grevitza
redoubt the key of the Ottoman position.
The next day the Russians brought up their
heavy siege guns within play, which made
admirable practice. While their operations
were going on against Grevitza, the Otto
man left, with artillery on either side, was
actively engaged at and beyond the village OF
Rdishou. Shells were sent by the Russian
guns into Plevna. The infantry were in po-
sition and ready for the assault, which was
fixed for Sunday, when, according to the
kilograms published Monday, the Turks
were routed.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 12.-Prof. Whites
division OF Prof. Hayden's exploring expedi-
ton has just arrived at Salt Lake, having ex-
plored the country from Denver across the
main ranges OF the Rocky and Wasatch
mountains to this point. Their investiga-
tions have resulted in the discovery of i'm.
portant phenomena, which will contribute to
the knowledge of geology and paleontology
of a long stretch of a poorly known part OF
the West. The information from the othel
division of the survey indicates that the
character of the entire region explored this
year, when made known, will attract the at
tention OF the public generally. All will re-
turn to Washington, D. C., in October.

TwEED's CONFESSIONS.
Me Fully Exposes All the Frauds and
steals Of His Board OF Supervisors.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Wm. Nj. Tweed is to
continue his testimony to-day before the Al
dermens committee on the Tammany ring.
He spent yesterday in the examination OF the
Supervisors records. from which he may be
able to specify bills for the passage of which
a percentage of claims were paid to the Su-
pervisors.
Prior to 1865 very few Of this class of claims
were passed by the Supervisors, but between
that year and 1870, the year in which the
board was abolished most of the bills for
work done for the city were fraudulent.
Among them were bills of Ingersoll Co.,
Keiser g. Co., Garvey, John Mob. Davidson
G.. S. Miller, Archibald Hall, Jr., and Chas. IL.
Jacobus, for work done and supplies furnish
ed for the courthouse and the National
Grand Armory; and those OF L. W. Roe q
Co., Roe, Montgrau & Co. and others, for
printing done and stationery furnished for
the city.
These bills aggregated many hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and were made exces
sive that the tradesmen and mechanics might
receive an ample compensation for their
goods after the percentage had been paid to
the Supervisors.
1t Is believed that Tweed will also tell the
committee Of the corrupt measures that
passed the board in connection with the build
ing of the Harlem bridge.
u The examination of VIM. M. Tweed relative
to ring frauds was continued by the Alder
men investigating committee to-day. Tweed
was asked to give list of claims passed by
the Board of Supervisors from 1861 to 1871
inclusive, but said he could not unless hi
could obtain the documents. He had en-
deavored to get them but failed. In relation
to the manner Of dividing up the spoils, he
said that, when acaimant appeared before th'
i Board of Supervisors it was customary t.
.ssssave the face Of the bill increased Is per cen
Or more, and the sum, as increased, was
divided up among the members of the rint
combination.
The witness was handed a record of th
Board of Supervisors for 1868, and asked t.
point out what bills were circular. The wit
ness read off large number OF fraudulen
bills made out in the name OF Ingersoll
Garvey and Keiser and many others. TIL
examination lasted about two hours, bu
nothing startling was ELECTED. An adjourn
ment was then taken till Saturday.

Greece and Turkey,

LONDON, Sept. 12.-"rhe correspondent of

of negotiations for an alliance between

unfounded. On the other hand, the Greek
government, while giving peaceful assurances

such an engagement would be tantamount to
