attracting attention. Servian occupation of
Bulgaria will relieve Russian troops to be con-

Sofia and North of Adflenople are moving to-
ward the southeast 1t is now believed the oc-
cupatlon of the northern shore of the Bos-
phorus by the Russians would prevent Admiral
hornby forcing passage. Some Russian di-
dere, and a total force Of about 10000 is
collected with easy striking distance be-
tween there and Buyukdere. There are
some Turkish brigades which could probably
hold the place till assistance arrived on the
peninsula of Gallipol, or the neighboring
main land. In font of the Boulair there are
probably about $4,000 Russians, while at
salonica and on the line of communication
there may be scattered some 900 more. The
war officer at St. Petersburg, is dissatisfied with
the muster rolls and is making strenuous ex-

son, one of the members of the commission
appointed by the Khedive to inquire into the
condition of the Egyptian revenues, etc., had
an interview with M. Waddington, foreign
minister Thursday, and leaves for Egypt Fri
day. The task Of the commission, which will
begin its labors Immediately, is no longer re-
garded either in England in France as a
private one, but as an official investigation,
bound by resolutions, which the Viceroy will
