General Skobelef.

Some Notable Incidents of His Career
 It was in the Khivan campaign that he first won his spurs and gained the reputation of being a madman who was ready to risk his life. At the close of the war he was made colonel and attached to the late General Kautfman's staff. In this capacity he took part in the first expedition against Khokand. One singular circumstance of this campaign has been thus related by the late Mir Mac Gahan, the distinguished war correspondent, who knew him intimately "On one occa- sion," he says, "a Russian detachment of 500 men with 100 Cossacks compelled to re- treat before superior force of the enemy General Trotsky decided upon a night at tack and confided his plan to Colonel Skobe- Jeff, then his chief of staff The latter entered into the idea with great enthusiasm, and proposed leading the attacking column himself, and to take only 50 Cossacks. Skobe- Jeff having leconnoitered the ground, per ceived that the Khokandians had encamped within a mile and a half of the Russians in an open plain which gave every facility for the manBuvring of cavalry. At midnight he took his 150 Cossacks divided them into three parties, and cautiously surrounded the enemys camp. The party led by Skobeleff himself managed to pass the enemy out posts, who were sound asleep. Then he gave the signal for the attack by the discharge of his pistol, and, followed by his 150 Cossaclks, rode headong into the enemys camp of six
 
 sacks shouting and yelling like fiends For quarter of an hour the plain resounded with shrieks and yells, shots, the tramping of horses, shouts and groans and all the uproar of battle. Then all was silence. SkobeIeff assembled his Cossacks and when morning came he found that the whole army of the enemy-six thousand or seven thousand men had disappeared, leaving on the field about forty dead, two thousand or three thousand muskets and sabres and all their camp mate- rial and baggage But what was his aston ishment on calling the roll to discover that he had not lost q man, either killed or wound ed"
 In one of Mir. MacGahan's graphic letters from the seat of war he thus describes Sko. beleff's heroism at Plevna:
 The redoubt Skobeleff was attacking was a | double redoubt in the bend of the Loftcha road, down near Plevna. He had advanced his troops down the slope of the mountain to | within easy range. AS the Turks immedi

NEW YORK, July 9.-'The number of steer age passengers landed at Castle Garden yes- terday was 1,G52. Of these the steamship Assyran Monarch, from London, brought 135 the Pennland, from Antwerp, 5O3 the Donau, from Bremen 594, and the Canada, from London, 42O. Among the passengers of the last named vessel there were 45 N1or- mons who are their way to the West. Thirty of them n.en and fifteen women. They were in charge of two elders of the Church of Latter Day Saints who are return ing from a two years mission abroad. More Mormons are soon to arrive fl om Europe and it is expected that between now and the first of August the number will mount up to LOGO. Two shiploads will come by the Guion line The New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad contracted to carry them to Utah. It was by this route that the newcomers of yesterday took their departure. From Og- den they will take different directions, some of them seeking an abode in Southern Utah, others in Idaho and Wyoming and others in New Mexico. They are most orderly and cleanly looking people, some of English na, tionality, but by no means of high grade of intelligence.

General sAobe1eff's Death Sudden
 Affection of the H cart.
 LONDON, July 9.-General Skobeleffs heart complaint, it is thought, was due to contu- sion received during the attack on Pleyna. His end was without warning. Only week or two ago the General rode seventy versts in little over one night He spent the greater part of Tn hursday at the Moscow exhibition and returned to his hotel in excellent spirits. There were, at first, reports of foul play, but eursory examination showed that death was caused by rupture of the vessels of the heart. Masses will be held in the churches of St. Pc, ersburg on the day of General Skobeleff S funeral, and the places of amusement will be closed.

Western Crop Prospects.
 VINCENNEs July 9.-The wheat crop of southern Indiana turns out wonderfully and is one of the largest the country was evex blessed with The yield in this county is 1,200, 900 bushels, and the average yield eight cen to twenty bushels per acre, many places showing thirty five to forty bushels. A prominent statistician estim4 4tes the yield in the fifteen southern counties of Indiana at 12, 900, 900 bushels.
 LINCOLN, July 9.-The condition of corn has but little improved. The heavy rains have stopped the ploughs and the farmers cannot harvest although the wheat is ripe and in fine condition. The estimated wheat crop will go to thirty five or forty bushels per acre on many farms. Corn, however, is in discouraging condition.
 SPRINGFIELD, July 9 Reports on the wheat crop from all counties in the State to July first show the condition to be 6 per cent above the average, 57 per cent. better than at the same time last year. In the southern and most of the central counties the crop has been harvested and the quality is excellent Much of it is already being pre- pared for the market. In the central part of the State there is some alarm on account of sprouting and the soft condition of the ground greatly delays harvesting, it being impossible to house the reapers in many fields.

A Fight Over State Funds.

Fight Over State Funds.
 RICHMOND, July 9.-Judgs Welford, in the Richmond Circuit Court yesterday, rendered decision in the case of Gautt vs The State of Virginia in which the plaintiff prayed for an injunction to restrain the alleged misap- propriation of $500, 900. the proceeds of the sale of the States interest in the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad. Of this money $1O0,0o0 was appropriated by an act of the last Legislature for the establishment of a colered normal school, the remainder to be used in refunding to the public school DOT tion of the money heretofore diverted there from. The decision was in favor of the com plainant and against the State, enjoining and restraining any State officer from using in any manner any portion thereof for school purposes, and ordered the State treasurer to take possession of said money and pay it over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. to be applied by them for the settlement of the State debt. The case will be taken to the Supreme Court of Appeals.

caucus of Repub bltcnn Members.
 WASHINGTON, July 9.-Immediately after the adjournment of the House yesterday caucus of Republican members was held for the purpose of discussing the advisability of attempting to dispose of the remaining con- tested election cases during the present ses- sion, and to decide if possible upon day for adjournment sine die. There were only about fifty members present This number was deemed insufficient to bind the much larger number of absentees, and consequently nc action was taken. Various opinions were expressed respecting the election cases, dur ing which the point was made that it would be difficult to obtain a quorum of Republican members within several days whereupon it was decided to ascertain how long it would take to secure quorum should 1t be re- quired The question of adjournment sine die then discussed to some extent, but the ex xpressions were varied that it was i'm possible to give any indication of the preva- lent sentiment of the majority of the House by the utterances of the few members in attendance at the caucus. After a session of less than an hour, with the general under i standing that another caucus should be held next week to determine the course of pro- cedure, the caucus adjourned.

The Work of Congress-A Busy Week
 i'm Prospect-StatMs of the Appropria-
 1fon Bills-Other Matters at the Capi-
 tai.
 WASHINGTON, July 9.-The work of the coming week in Congress is looked to with considerable anxiety, as on it will depend the question of adjournment. The Senate will probably pass the river and harbor bill on Tuesday. Should it then decide to take up the internal revenue bill and open general discussion, indicated by the Republican caucus, there is no telling when the end will be reached After this bill is disposed of there will yet remain the naval and sundry civil bills to be acted on which must con- sume at least another week. In the House it is expected that nearly half the coming week will be expended upon the sundry civil bill The last regular appropriation bill will be out of the way in the House. Then will come the Senate amendments to the bank charter and river and harbor bills, some of the Senate, all the amendments to which are likely to cause some pretty vigorous discust sion. Whether the Republicans will attemp- to take up the election cases is rather doubt ful, owing to the difficulty of getting through. It is improbable that adjournment will be reached before July 24th, if indeed until August 1st.
 The President expected to leave the city this week next for rest in the country, but will not do so until Congress adjourns.
 In the Senate yesterday the river and ha~- bor bill was discussed, the Hennepin canal project being the special point under con sideration. Mir. Buffers amendment provid- ing for an additional survey and report upon the cost of construction, annual maintenance and use of the canal was adopted after a long debate and other amendments reported from the committee were agreed to- An amendment offered and advocated by Sena- tor Frye, prohibiting the expenditure of any part of the $5, ,OOO, 900 appropriated for the
 Mississippi river for levees in retaining or protecting lands, or otherwise than in deep- ening the channel and improving the naviga- tion, was rejected. The bill then went over until Monday. In the House the sundry civil bill was under consideration all day. William Hayden Edwards, formerly con- sul general at St. Petersburg, has been ap- pointed assistant consul for the United States before the French and American claims com mission, vice John Davis, resigned, who to- day entered upon his new duties as first as sistant Secretary of State.

IN A SHOWER OF BULLETS.

IN A SHOWER OF BULLETS.
 Skobeleff stood the shower of balls un- hurt. All his escort were killed or wounded, even to the little Kirghiz, who received bull let in the shoulder. Again he saw the line hesitate and waver, and he flung his fourth and last regiment-the Libansky-on the glacis. Again this new wave carried the pre- ceding ones forward until they were almost on the soarp, but that deadly shower of bull let's poured upon them. Men dropped by hundreds, and the result still remained doubtful. The line once more hesitated and wavered. Not g moment to be lost if the redoubt was to be carried. Skobeleff had now only two battalions of sharpshooters left, the best in his attachments Putting himself at the head of these he dashed for ward on horseback. He picked up the strag- glsrs, he reached the wavering, fuctuating mass and gave 1t the inspiration of his own courage and instruction. He picked the whole mass up and carried it forward with 8 rush and 8 cheer. The whole redoubt was a mass of flame and smoke, from which screams, shouts and cries of agony and de- fiance arose, with the deep mouthed below ing of the cannon and above all the steady, awful crash of that deadly rife fire. Sko- beleff's sword was cut into in the middle point of leaping the ditch, horse and man rolled together to the ground, the horse dead or wounded, the man untouched. Skobelef sprang to his feet with shout Then with formidable savage yell, the whole mass of men streamed over the ditch over the scarp and counter scarp, over the parapet, and swept into the redoubt like & hurricane Their bayonets made short work of the Turks still remaining. Then joyous cheer told that the redoubt was captured and that at last one of the defences of Plevna was in the hands of the Russians.
 Having seen as much as have seen of the Turkish infantry fire from behind trenches and walls, I thought it was beyond flesh and blood to break it-a belief which had been strengthened by Kriloff's repulss, which I had just witnessed. Skobeleff proved the contrary but at what sacrifice
 In that short rush of few hundred yards 3, 900 men had been left on the hill side, on the glacis, the scarp and the ditch--one fourth of his whole force. Sko5eleff had the redoubt; the question was how to hold it. It was evident that the position was untena- ble unless the intrenched camp on the other side of Plevna and the Krishine redoubt could be taken. Skobeleff renewed his de mand for endorsements made the evening before. At sunrise the Turks began an at tack upon the captured redoubt, and the storm of battle again ragged with fury here while all was quiet everywhere else. The desperate attack of the Turk was repulsed. Another attack was made and another re- pulse, and this continued all day long until the Turks had attacked and been beaten five Successiye times
