Savings bank has been found to be
unsound and the bank commissioner

THE PROSPECTS OF REACHING ADRIAN
oPLE.
LONDON, Jan. A Bucharest dis
patch says: "The army which was to
cross the Schipka Pass and Cooperate
with Gen. Gourko in the movement
against Adrianople, gives no sign of
activity, and while the present wealth
er continues, such an operation would
be impossible. The deep snow offers
an insurmountable obstacle to wag-
ons and the Russians have no sledges.
Orders have been issued for q supply
of sledges, but by the time they are
ready, the snow will probably have
disappeared and the roads be impas-
sible from mud and water. 1t is i'm
probable that the Russians can reach
Adrianoplc before next May.
THE TURKISH FORCE NORTH or THE
BALKANS.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says :
Private dispatches announce that on

the remainder of the Ottoman forces,
numbering 10000, remaining north of
the Balkans, are distributed among
the fortresses of the Quadrilateral.

RUss1A's POSITION AS TO MEDIATION.
The Journal de St. Petersburg says
Russia could not, in the interest of
peace itself, do otherwise than refuse
all Intervention and make it clearly
understood that peace must be dis
cussed between the belligerents.
The Journal points out that any in
jury by Russia to the Suez canal is
quite out Of the question, and if peace
negotiations were opened now the
Russian occupation Of Constantine
pie would be equally out of the ques-
ton. If there are any other points
upon which British interests might
be affected, they must be of minor
Importance, and a frank and loyal
explanation between tho Russian and
English governments would lead to
an understanding on the subject,
without interrupting negotiations.

FIGHTING THE FROST.

LONDON, Jan. THE Russian de.

which supported Gen. Gourko in his

men frozen to death in one night, and
800 frost bitten. An official dispatch
states that the Russian loss in crossing
the Balkans, however, was not SO
great as at first supposed. The Turks
suffered enormously and immense
numbers of sick and wounded were
found in their positions on December
3lst. The whole plain of Kamarit
was strewn with Turkish corpses.
