Musical Festival.

CINCINNATI, O., Msy 16.-The weather TO-
day is cloudy and damp. There is no abatement
noticeable in the festival enthusiasm. Many en-.
tertsinments have been arranged by prominent
citizens for the enjoyment Of visitors, when the
festival is not claiming their attention. Promi-
nent among these arc the Womans Loan Exhi'
bition, to which Miss Cary has contributed rare
and curious articles of virtu gathered IN
Europe. All the hotels. last night, were packed
not only to the capacity of the ordinary rooms,
but the dense filling of the doors of large rooms
and halls with mattresses. at Music Hall, last
night not only were the seats all occupied but
there wero several thousand standing, and even
after placsrd WAS hung at the doors that there
was no more Standing room se e auad RED
vestebules. From the amount of receipts, so
far taken in at theticket offices, it is evident that
the total receipts will not fall short OF .COO.

passing slowly up and down before the door,
Prince Mentchikotf the fsvorite minister Of the

tile fullest liberty of calling upon his master at
any time sought to push the guard and pass

Peter, in the room. hearing the noise outside,

RADICAL CAUcUs-The radical Congression t.
al caucus. yesterday, adopted the following reso.
lutions:
Resolved That the resolution now pond.
ing in the House is an attempt, in form un.
justiaable and illegal, 10 reopen the question of
the Presidential title, question solemnly settled
by the action of the Forty-Fourth Congress,
which alone had jurisdisdction, and is therefore,
revolutionary and destructive Of the good order,
business prosperity. and peace of the country.
Resolved, That the effort Of the democratic
majority to force upon the House, without op.
portunity for amendment or debate, measure Of
such revolutionary character, which has not
been recommended or considered by any OF its
committees, but has been devised by individuals
for private or party ends, should be resisted by
all the means which are authorized by the rules
Of the House.

A NEW PHASE OF WARFARE.

The use Of magazine rifles III the
RussO-Turkish war has practically
demonstrated the impossibility of
capturing by assault and direct fire
any position affording shelter for ri
fiemen. The same experience has
I shown also that it is quite possib
with modern arms to make untenable
many positions hitherto considered
perfectly sheltered and secure. Many
Russian soldiers have been struck be-
You'd the usual rifle range, and even
when lying behind considerable eleva-
tions separating them from the enc

gOmiroff was wounded in the knee by
a bullet from Turkish rifle on the OPP
pOsite side of a mountain. \ number
OfSthe russian rank and file were hit
in4like manner at the same place, the
balls rising high in air, passing the
summit of the mountain. and doing
execution as they fell. In view of
the casualties IL correspondent of the
London Times suggests that IL would
not be difficult to devise system of
vertical or dropping fire to reach an
enemy hiddeE behind a wood or Il
ridge. 1t is easy to conceive how
demoralizing to Il body of troops
4 waiting in reserve-without the ex-
( citement of action-would be a show

dropping over the very ridge they
had relied on for protection. The
Calling gun is mentiond as capable of
utilization in this way. The distance

correct elevation to be given to the
\ rifle barrel. Here is chance for
some inventor to make new and
very useful addition to military arms.
