An official dispatch from Dousolum, dated the
18th inst, says: IAN engagement occurred be-
tween Russian troops and Turcomans, and re,
suited in q complete defeat Of the TuTcomans,
who lost 25 killed. The enemy was pursued till
nightfall, which saved them from annihilation
No loss on the Russian side"
The dynamite which exploded in the Winter
Palace was contained In metal box. The cover
has been found, but no trace Of the electric wire
OF battery.
All the workmen who occupied the cellar Of
the Winter Palace previous to the explosion, have
been found. Their innocence appears certain.
Six more Of the soldiers wounded by the explo.
sion in the Winter Palace have died.
The news from the interior OF the Russian EN-.
pire Is heartrending. Famine and diphtheriR are
decimatng the population. The provinces Of
sarltof and Kief, which annually export In ordi-
nary times, enormous quantities Of grain, had
scarcely any crop last year, The calamity Is ag-
gravated by the want Of fodder for cattle, and
peasants are forced to sell them. In Caucasus the
famine is still greater where the people are com.
1nitting suicide and selling their children.

Petersburg says: I'VE were proceeding through
the large corridor to His MajeHty's apartments

The flooring was raised as by an earthquake
The gas was extinguished and we were left in
total darkness. At the same time horrible dust
and smell OF gunpoWder or dynamite filed the

Washington, Feb. 19.-The Senate Committee
on the Free dman's Bank heard to-day the eVi.
depce Of Anfon NJ. sperry, Gen. Field, Agent and
Inspe ctor Of Barracks who testified to the sol.
vency Of the bank and to the marvellous in.
crease Of its business nom the start up to 1874
when It failed. The deposits had grown from
sSOOOOO In 1865 to S81 0C0 in 1872 and to $780,
100000 in 1874. He taid the eaufe Of the failure
was primarily the violation Of the company's
charter in entering into general business In the
branches, which opened the doors to wild specu'
latons In real estate loans and other doubtful se'
curIties. The worst complications and losses ne
said arose from the operations in WashiDston'
He had never known the bank to sustain less
throught the dishonesty Of colored men in charge
OF any Of the branches.
Marshal Frederick Douglass, It's President, test
iHed that during his short administration he had
been able to gain but little insight into the true
inwardnew Of the concern.
The cipher dispatches, which M. Douglass
charged were purpoEely held from him, Mr..
suckney, the former aC.uAry, said were simply
tho ordinary preoa ution taken by the bank In iH
teleRraphic com municahOn with the branches,
and that there was no concealment OF ihsm mem
from the President or other oticials who haG inc

A JOKE THAT May PROVE Sc
RIOUS.

Norwich, N. Y, Feb. 21.-LaHt summer great
excitement was caused here by the alleged dis
Covery Of mineral spring, the water Of which,
1t was said, contained healing properties that
were simply wonderful. A sort Of stock compG.
ny was formed, and contributions solicited and
obtained to the amount OF several hundred dol
lars. It now turns out that the whole scheme
was a hoax, and was intended as a practical
Joke. A number Of men have been to work con.
stantly at the point where the spring was sup
posed to exist, and only ceased their labors when
informed that the whole arrangement was a
fraud. The contributors feel very sore, and
threaten vengesnCO on the prominent men who
led the enterprise.

THE Republicans of Iowa have con-
cluded that it is about time for them
to again return a solid Republican
delegation to Congress, and they will
do it. In the present Congress there
are two Greenbackers from Iowa
Messrs. Weaver and Gillette-but
their places will be filled in the next
Congress by reliable Republicans,
Iowa is so overwhelmingly Republican
that even with moderate harmony a
solid delegation to Congress can easily
be elected.

that the great mass meeting was held

denounced more vehemently the
