FOREIGN ITEMS,

friendly relations with the vatican, gives no

The Russians are completing the lines
of earthwOrks commenced by the Turks,
about fifteen miles from COnstautinople,
when the Grand Duke Nicholas came over
the Balkans and the city was threatened.
These works run from Chekmedje, near the
Sea Of MarmOra, across the country north to
SerkoS, on the Black sea. The line is slightly
irregular, but forms curve, crossing the
Adrianople railroad few miles west of
Hadem-Koi, through Natosh and Bahama
Kutch, and then turns northwest to Serkos
and Yen-KOi These fOrtifcations were
intended by the Turks to form the final
barrier to the approach of the Russians, but
they began them too late, and, as they had
neglected to fOrtify the strategical points ia
ROumelia, further west, their work was
fruitless The Russians are evidently pre-
pairing for possible British attack, FOR their
line of defense extends from the vicinity of
Constantinople to the Gulf of Salonics,

Death of VIM. NJ. Tweed.

William NJ. Tweed died in Ludlow
street Jail at precisely u o'clock, on the
18th. He was attended by DIR, Carno-
chan, who was with him from an early
hour this morning; also, Foster Dewey,
his secretary; Mr., Douglass, his sOn-in.
law, and Mr.. Edelstein, of his counsel
An hope of his recovery was abandoned
soon after eleven o'clock, when DR..
Carnochan announced clogging of the
throat and complete nervous exhaustion.
At the time of his death there was no
struggle, and he passed away in sleep
with his head lying upon his arm. His
last words to DR.. Carnochan were: 81
have tried TO do some good; if l have
MOI had good luck / am not afraid to die;
| believe the guardian angels will pro
tect me. "Mr. Tweed had been i'll for sew
eral days, and his death resulted from a
complication of disorders, but was
caused directly by nervous exhaus-
tion and clogging of the action of the
heart. He was conscious up to a few
moments before his death.
Tweed, shortly before his death, said
to Mr., Edelstein, a lawyer, something
with reference to the effect upon his
health aud fortunes of his confinement in
Jail, and, mentioning some persons by
name, exclaimed: "They will be satisfied
now" No member O. his family was in
his room when he died, although his
daughter, Mrs. Douglass, was in an
adjoining apartment, His wife, his SONS,
Richard and William M. ir., and other
relatives, near and remote, are in Europe,
where they have been for some months,
His room was sumptuously furnished,
but his meals had been brought to him
from the Jail. His beard was snow
white, and so was his hair. His face was
very thin, but the dimensions of his
figure had not been perceptibly reduced.
To reporter Of the Evening Post Mr..
Townsend said he had been told by Mr..
Edelstein that Tweed made the following
remark to him about twenty minutes
before his death: "Tilden and Fairchild,
| guess they have killed me at last; ]
have tried hard TO do the rest I could
latterly, but they wouldn't let me,
They will probably be satisfied when ]
