The New England "donductaire'

The New England "donductaire"
has a registering punch which is a
trifie ahead of the other instru-
ments that have heretofore been
used with care in the presence of the
"passenjaire. When he collects a
fare he punches from ticket which
is printed all over with dollars and
cents Of various denominations the
exact sum received. The ticket is
handed TO the passenger and the
pieces punched out drop into re-
ceptacle in the punch and securely
retained there by a small lock,
which has many thousand combin-
atoms which are only known to the
officials in the counting depart
ment, so that when a punch is re-
turned to that department the cash
collections must tally with the
pieces found in the punch. The
next that will be heard concerning
this remarkable punch will be of a
combination TO cheat the railroad
companies in spite of it.

The Contcnding Forces.

From the Avenir Militaire.
There Is every indication that
Turkey is In q position to make .
strenuous defence upon the Danube
and In the Balkans. In addition
10 the army properly so called, she
possesses 200 battalions of terrific
rial infantry In the vilayet Of the
Danube, and Sadyk Pasba, the late
Ambassador at Paris and now Gov
ernor Of this province, Is display
ing great activity. The places sit
mated upon the banks of the river

The Danube Defenses.

y
The points selected for the pas
sage of the river will be determin-
ed mainly by Roumanian railways.
These points are Giurgevo, oppo-
site Rustchuk; Oltenitza, opposite
Turtokai, and Kslarash, opposite
Silistria. Giurgevo, which the
Russian have occupied, is consid-
cred the most important. 1t is the
terminus of the Roumanian rail-
way, the station being mile from
the bank, and covered from view
by a slight eminence. Very seldom
indeed can even the smoke of an en-
CINE be seen from the southern
bank. The Russians were, there
fore, able to bring their troops by
rail from Bucharest and mass their
artillery to cover the passage with
out discovery. Rustchuck itself is
dilapidated Fashioned fortress,
badly equipped, and supported on
ly by a recently constructed earth
work of no great strength. 1t may
therefore, be easily silenced by a
bombardment, for the river is only
three-quarters of a mile broad.
About forty miles below Rustchuuk
is Turtokai, with Oltenitza on the
opposite bank. The river is but
500 yards wide there, and the
fortress could offer but nominal
resistance. Oltenitza IS at COM
paratively short distance from Gil
urgevo-say forty miles-and sit
uated at the confluence Of the
Dembowitza, q stream which con-
meets the Danube with Bucharest.
The advantages of such spot for
passage are obvious. Twenty
Ave miles lower down the river is
Silistria, with Kalarash on the OPP
posite side. From Slobod8ie there
is a good road to the Danube, while
from Silistria runs the main road
to Shumla. The fortress is believ-
ed to be In the same state as that
in which it was left at the close Of
the siege of 1854. The Dobrud-
scha, is a remarkable district. The
Danube, after an eastward course,
turns suddenly to the north at
Rassova, then bends eastward at
Galatz, and finally empties itself
into the Black sea by several
mouths, of which the Kilia, the
Sulina and the ST. Georges are the
chief. The Sulina is that which is
adopted for the greater part Of the
trade Of the Danube. The strip OF
land bounded on the west and north
by those two bends of the river,
and on the east by the Black sea,
constitutes the Dobrudscha. The
district has been the first Turkish
territory occupied by the Russians
In the two invasions which have
heretofore taken place--the cam
paigus of 1923 aud 1854. The
whole region of Dobrudscha is a
low, desolate plain, rising into roll
ing hills toward the south, and af-
fording few points of vantage ex-
cept the water courses. Farther
up the river, on the Turkish side,
the bank is PERCEPTIONS, while on
the side occupied by the Russians
the bank is comparatively low
The Turkish position Is further
strengthened by their monitors and
gunboats which cruise up and down
the river, ready to oppose any at
tempt at crossing by the Russians.
The Danube forms the first natural
line of defense Of the Turks.
