The Russian Movements.

At this time the Dobrudja is held by fifty
thousand Russian soldiers, the entire four
teenth army corps and detachment Of the
fourth and thirteenth having crossed
the Danube. As vas anticipated the Turks
made but little resistance. They have
anticipated the movement from the first,
and it has been generally understood in
military circles that they would not contest
the Dobrudja at all, but would make the
Varna railway their first line of defense.
The skirmish at Matchin seems to have been
entered upon by the Turks merely to cover
the retreat of the garrison, a retreat which
was effected Friday night. This is in
accordance with the plan of defense which
surrenders the country embraced by the
bend of the river in order to hold the line
from Silistria to Varna.
1t is coDjectured with great reason that
the Russian troops will follow the Danube
southwark to Silistria, and throw themselves
in the rear OF that fortress, with the hope of
compelling its surrender. By this move they
get possession of the river communication
and secure their line of supplies from Galatz
nearly to Giurgevo. A way will thus be
opened for the main body to force the
Danube opposite Silistria and strike a blow
at the very centre of the Turkish line.
Unless the Russians succeed in holding the
river as they nova southwark from the
Dobrudja nothing can be gained by the
crossing at Galatz.

A delegation of English ladies have had a
long talk with Sir Stafford Northcote,
Chancellor of the Exche quer, upon the SUBJ
ject of bill extending the elective franchise
to women. In reply to their demands, the
Chancellor admitted that in justice women
should be permitted to vote, but there were
other considerations. Suffrage was an artifi-
cial arrangement in the Constitution of the
country for the purpose of providing the best
attainable constituency for the governing

whether the change would be likely to be
beneficial and improve the character OF the
Parliament to be elected, and also whether it
was, at any given moment, desirable and
proper to make a considerable electoral
change. In fact, the matter resolved itself
into question of time, expediency, and
opportunity, and he felt forced to say that he

A CURIOUS case came before the English
Court of the Queens Bench recently. The
defendant was publican" or saloon-keep-
er, who had been convicted in lower court
under the act of 1872, which says that "every
person found drunk on licensed premises"
shall be held liable. The publican" in ques-
ton had been found discreetly drunk on his
own premises after business hours. He was
convicted and appealed. The learned Judges
of the Queens Bench concurred in taking a
contemptuous view Of the judgment of the
Court below. Mr.. Justice Lush said that if
this view We're sustained, s.publican" might
be found guilty for being drunk in his own
bed, or tor going to his home after getting
drunk elsewhere. In such case the man
would only be of evil example to his wife and
family, while there would be no ofense as re-
garded the public. The upper Court held
that the act did not apply to any one found
drunk in his own private house, and when a
public house was closed 1t became private.
The conviction was set aside.
