RUSSIA AND TIIRKEY.

BERLIN, Sept. 12.-The Hamburger Cor
respondent contains a sensational article
entitled 1.-The Cossack Stroke on the Bos-
porus." According to this article, Rus
STA meditates the surprise of Constantine
pie by the concerted landing of $4,000
troops in European and Asiatic Turkey
The Bosporus forts, it is said, are to be
attacked from the rear, and the approach
of hostile fleets is to be prevented by tor
pedoes, while it is calculated that the Rus
sian torpedo feet could enter the Golden
Horn at night and completely destroy the
Turkish fleet, and that the whole could be
accomplished in twenty-four hours. The
article details the experiments made in
embarkng and landing troops on the
Black sea, conducted under General
Roope since 1886, and the studying of the
ground by Russian officers on the spot in
the guise of searchers for Nihilists, and as
traders, antiquArians, etc. Complete plans
for everything are said TO be ready and
only the command from st. Petersburg is
now needed.

or less uneasy, but hope by prompt meas

Some of the lines in the Central Traffic
association interested in the ''hOme visit
ors' excursions to Michigan, Ohio and
Indiana points hope that the western roads
viii yet be induced to join them in making
reduced rates on Sept. -. Although they
have boycotted the Alton, they expect that
road to come to their relief The Wabash
will make reduced rates from st. Louis,
aud they think that the sAlton will meet
its competition TO Chicago from st. Louis
aud Kansas City, in which event the other
lines would undoubtedly follow suit.
The western roads are considering an
agreement. which, if adopted, will proba-
bly, prevent grain blockades. by cutting
down the time for holding loaded cars at
one point from six days to forty eight
hours. In case they are not disposed of in
that time il will be the duty of some au-
thorized agent to seize and unload them.
This applies only TO grain. BY so doing it
Is hoped to avoid a car famine. The Atch-
ison has already given notice that on Mon
day next il will begin storing delayed
grain at Kansas City. and that, too, at the
owners expense, provided the property is
delayed more than forty-eight hours
