LONDON, sept. ~.
In casting up the series OF stragglers
in the vicinity of Plevna, the English
papers admit that the first estimates OF
the result were incorrect or overesti-
mated. 1t is now considered here that
the contest is still undecided, and that
the heaviest and most decisive fighting
is still to come. The Russians, cou-
trary to general expectation in Eng
land, that the war would close in a sin
gle campaign, are making ready to go
into winter quarters. Supplies of warm
clothing are being rapidly forwarded
for st. Petersburg. To guard the pas
sages across the Danube, strong bridge
heads are being constructed at Match
en-. NikOpolis, Parsova and Sistova.
The Russians have lost all the ad-
vantages possessed by them at the
commencement of the siege of Plevna
They are so weakened tina they are
unable o carry on operations, except
as a siege, until the arrival of the
guards. The prospects look bad for
the Russians everywhere in Bulgaria,
while the Turks are everywhere vic.
torious. The only ground Of media
ton at present is in the name of hui
manity to break the deadlock whose
only result Is unparalleled carnage.
Unless this is done a second campaign
is inevitable, unless the Russians,
against all expectations, gain a signal
victory. 1t is generally believed
that the interview Of Bismarck and
Andrassy will settle whether the war
shall cease now or go over another
year, with a probability of dragging in
all Europe.
BELGRADE, Sept. 20.
The news of the reported Russian
disasters has created great un~easiDess
here, especially as everything was
prepared for crossing the Danube at
Gladova by the Russians, and their
reception in Negotin and Timock
villages. 1t Is announced that the Cab
met has agreed to postpone action, and
the troops marching to the frontiers
have been recalled into towns not so
near the border, in order to give no
umbrage to the Porte.
LONDON, Sept. 20.
The Times says that the Pope grows
weaker. He is unable to stand while
saying mass, and Is becoming di fficult
to manage in matters conducive to his
health, such as refusing to occupy
larger and more airy apartments, and
persisting to eat indigestible food,
which is especially hurtful because of
his inability % take exercise.
No statesman credits the rumor that
Russo Turkish mediation is the SUBJ
ject of the Salisbury conference be-
tween Bismarck and Count Andrassy,
because mediation, in the present con-
dition, is simply impossible. The
more probable subject is the mainls-
nance of the good understanding be-
tween Germany and Austria, estab-
lished by the Gastein-Salisbury con-
ference Of 1871, which assured Austris's
non-intervention against Germany in
her subsequent conflict with France.
BERLIN, September 20.
The meeting of Bismarck and An
Grassy at Salisbury is to be regarded
as the the sequel Of the recent inter.
view between the Austrian and Ger
man Emperors and as merely strength
ening the views then exchanged
between the two Sovereigns regarding
the continuance of the understanding
bet the three Imperial Conrts
upon the mean Of avsrting European
complications. The result is secured
without formal treaty stipulaiions, in.
asmuch as il represents q complete
personal agreement existing between
the three Emperors.
LONDON, Sept. 20.
A Russian official dispatch, dated
Gorney Studen, yesterday, says affairs

and bombardment of Plevna continues.
