The Advance on>van.

Outposts of the Russian forces at Dehr are biyouacling 10000 feet above sea level around the region of the Haneour pass marking the approach to Van. the capital of the Armenian vilayet, which is an important seat of has been taken back into Russian con- trol by an operation in which the Ar menians cleared the surrounding hills of scattered Turks and Kurds. From the number of empty cartridges found in the yielded trenches, 1t is appar- ent that the Turks lacked marksmen rather than ammunition.
 Bashkala the most important town between Ddlrnan and Van was re-oc- cupied by Russian cavalry, which drove off about fifty Kurds, and with this event the long expected advance question agitating the minds of the Russians and of the Armenian volun- teers, is whether they will arrive in time to save the beleaguered ArTnen- ians of Van from slaughter.
 (Note-Cable despatches from Turk ish Armenia in the middle of June said briefly that the Russian forces had occupied Van, and that the threatened massacre of Christians by Kurds and Turks had been averted.)
 The Armenian volunteers have be- haved well in this campaign, as they did at Dilman. Here they held an ex- posed trench fourteen hours under Turkish fire without relief and then advanced on the wayering enemy. The head of. the Armenian volunteers has been leader of revolutionary bands for twenty years. A silent, observant man with bronzed features. shaggy brows and mustache, he might pose for a western sheriff Samson Khan, his chief of staff, is a striking contrast. He is typica1ly Armenian in his vii vacity, but an indispensable aide. as the leader does not speak Russian The detachment of Armenian volun- teers, numbering about 1000, is com

osHoRNE's IDEAS IN BALANCE.

More than the people of New York are interested in the friction which has arisen between the superintendent of prisons of that state and the war den of Sing Sing prison. This is be- cause of the experiment which is be- ing tried out at the Ossining institu- tion under the direction of Thomas Mott Osborne who has some advanced ideas concerning the treatment of prisoners. Since going to that peni- tentiary as warden he has made many changes in the conduct of the prison. He has established new rules by Which the inmates are governed and he has put into operation plans which mean a radical reform in prison life if they work out successfully, but as yet they have not had a sufficient test. For that reason 1t is unfortunate that anything should have arisen in the way of controversy which threatens to end the experiment without per hitting it to be carried to a satisfac- tory conclusion.
 From what shows on the surface of the trouble there appears to be lack of understanding between the ohhcials. With something over 500 prisoners doubled up in cells it must have been apparent to Warden Osborne that there should have been a transfer and to that shift he should have given his cooperation instead of baking at the move or offering no suggestions as to what convicts should be changed. He apparently overlooked his duty there the same as he does in leaving the prison on the day of an execution be- cause he is personally opposed to the aw of capital punishment and re- fuses to give the death signal.
 The trouble has however pointed put the way for it's avoidance in the future and for the sake of the work which the warden Is doing which needs a lengthy and fair trial it is the nope of those interested in humane treatment of prisoners that the ex- pertinent will not be sacrificed through ! puny conflict of authority.

Low Cost of Hcassfna!S

Whether England is justified in copying the German example in re- gard to the use of asphy ziating gases is a matter on which the British Army will soon give an answer. 1t is interesting to note that there fs no difficulty about producing chlorine gas-which is that mainly employed by the Germans-and discharging 1t at the enemy's trenches when the wind fs favorable. Any of our man. ufacturing chemists could produce enough chlorine in a day or two to suffocate the whole German army from the Yser to the Vistula, for chlorine is familiar to English chem ical manufacturers, who until a few

THE MEN, NOT THE FORM.

Throughout this country there are numerous forms of commission gov- ernment. They have been developed through various causes, Same have been born or necessity. Others have sprung up because of the benefits which other municipalities have ob- tained, while there are other cities which have grown tired Of the old form and bad political conditions and demanded a change.
 In every instance however 1t must have been realized that the success in the change rested with the charae- ter oe the men who were selected to administer the Kew form, rather than government instead of the men which made undesirable conditions possible.
 This is at least the conclusion that must be arrived at in connection with the conditions which have been re- vealei in the city o1 Nashville where action has been taken seeking a re- ceivership for the municipality be- cause of the irregularities which are charged against the mayor and the members of the commission. In this case even it is not the form of gov ernment which is on trial but again it is emphasized that it is just as pos sible for men who do not have the welfare of the community at heart but are looking after their own in terests at the expense of the public to get what they seek as it was under the old manner of conducting the city government.
 Tn every instance the public is the regulator of the municipal corpora ton. If men who are unfit are placed in office they can administer its af- fairs to suit their purposes regard less of the taxpayers or the people. It is in the men at it's head rather than in the form that the success of city government lies.

mani dashed into Boone and
killed Jacob Council, father OF
B J. Council, Ephraim Norris,
father OF Capt. E. ]. Norris, and
Warren Green. The wounded
were Sheriff A. J. Mcbride, Thos.
Holder, w. W. Gragg, and Calvin
Green. Pretty much all the men
in Boone were put under arrest,
and many were taken prisoners
to Camp Chaise and othernorth.
ern prisons, and the county jail
burned.
"On the 29th Of March, 1873,
the county court house wa" burn
ed togather with all the records
except book E Of deeds. On the
28th OF January, 1885, the west
end of the court house was blown
out by une OF the worstwind and
snow storms the county everhad.
September, 1886, curing court
week, the Charleston earthquake
shook up thepeople OF Boone and

For many years past Germany
has been spending on her secret
service between $4,000, 300 and
100000 annually that h to
say, about five times asl much 90
France and from IL to is times
as much as Great Britain. The
purpose to which these tunds are
mainly devoted is the establish.
ment and maintenance Of spies
atflxed posts in potentially hos
tile countries, says a writer In
the Atlantic. In France. where
this smothered warefare has been
waged most persistently, it can
best be- studied. The principle
agentsare rarely Germans. They
are as a rule, Swiss, Belgians and
Alsatians, with q sprinkling Of
corrupt Frenchmen. II they are
Germans, then they hasten to
take out naturalization papers
and to make themselves conspic.
uous by protestations Of loyalty
to the land Of their adoption.
But in all cases they are instruct
ed to disguise their operations
under forms oiordinary business.
They take shops, land agencies.
hotels, insurance offices and 90
on. They follow their calling
just like everybody;else in the To-
cality. They ATTRACT no notice,
either by having too much NOR
ey or too littla. Their businesses
are soundly established and are
in keeping with the requirements
OF the neighborhood. The ex-
penses OF starting them are borne
out Of the secret service funds,
and from the same source the de-
icits, if any, in thesannual bal.
ance sheets are made good. The
man'in charge Identifies himself
with the life around him, sits on
committees. makes as many
friends .ss possible suhscribes
generously to local charities, and
not infrequently gets himself
elected to some minor office. ~
