WAmSoToS's BIRrHDAY.-The one
hundred and forty.sfxth anniversary Of
Washingtons birth was pretty generally
observed by onr citizens. The city was
gay with bunting, the display perhaps
being more general than ever before upon
any other holiday occasion, with the ex-
cepLion Of the Centennial Fourth Of July.
Business was almost entirely suspended
at the public buildings, and State, county
and city officials, bank clerks and school
children, enjoyed holiday.
Notwithstanding that the weather was
very unfayorable Tor the military display
arranged to take place, rain and mud
combining to make the outlook as cheer.
less az possible, the soldier boys were not
to be discouraged, and stepped up TO the
scratch in the best of humor. The
parade took place despite the lowering
clouds and sloughs Of mud, and consid-
eripg these adverse circumstances the
display was certainly very creditable
one.
The incoming trains brought u great
many strangers 10 the city, and these, to-
gether with hundreds Of our own citizens,
crowded the pavements and street cor
ners all along the route arranged for
the procession. Ia the vicinity
Of the Capitol building, where the
military formed in line, ne crowd was so
dense "A 10 interfere with the movements
Of The different companies. This pre-.
vented a dress parade on the Capitol
payement. which had been determined

The line was formed about 9 p. NJ,

LONDON, Jan. 16.-If the dispatch of yester
To Reuters Telegram Company, from Con

fought on Monday between Tatar BaZardiik
and PhilippOpOliS: that fighting was resumed
Tuesday; that Suleiman Pasha afterwards
took up position near Phippopolis and
ordered the inhabitants TO leave that town
and that the Russians have reached Chirpan
ana are marching on IeGi Mahalgre is correct,
the remains of the only Turkish field army
south OF the Balkans, is in danger of capture
or annihilation before an armistice can bc con-
cluded. Chirpan is about 80 miles east of
PhilippOpOliS and less than 10 miles from the
road and railway over which the Turks must
pass 10 reach AdrlanOple. The statement thai
the Russians have reached Chirpan is not inn
probable as there is no Turkish army between
Chlrpan and keZarlik To hinder such move
ment. The utmost terror and diSorganization
prevail throughout the country between
fmllppopolis and ConStantinOple. Panic
stricken fugitlveS continue TO crowd toward
the capitol by thousands. Only a small per
centage of them are men. Many thousands
are detailed at Chorlu on account of the recent
railway accident Gp the line leading TO Con
StantinOple. The Turkish government and
the English relief committee have great diff

The London Daily TeleqrdBh has a special
dispatch from ConStantinOple containing an
improbable story that the Austrian Embassy
separate peace and intends TO support the
treaty OF Paris and further, that she wishes
that Turkey should leave grave questions
affecting European Interests open for con-
