Russians Attack Austrians.

Berlin, Dec. 29, via London, 11:15 q. m.-The CzernowitZ (Bukowina) correspondent of the Tageblatt sends tho following: '"The Russians have made eight attacks against the Aus trians on tho Bessarab1an border since Christmas night. Despite tremen- dous expenditure of ammunition and men the attacking forces have not yet succeeded in breaking through the lines The Russians maintained a gun fire for Twenty-Five hours which was audible in Czarnowitz"
 Russia Playing Game.
 London, Dec. 29, 12:32 D. m--The fierce fighting on the Galician-Bessar- :tbian front. of which mention is made fs1 both Russian and Austrian official statements, seems to support the fore caste that Russia, instead of directly attacking Bulgaria, hopes to reduce the pressure on the entente allies in the Balkans and in Asia Minor and impress Rumania and Greece by a diversion to the north, with the intent if possible, of breaking through the AuSCTlan ines.
 Simultaneously comes news of the capture by the Russian of Kashan, one of the principal cities of Persia, and of an advance toward the still more important city of Ispahan. These points are too remote for their occu- patton directly to menace the Turks who are fighting the British under General Townshend on the Tigers but undoubtedly the Russian advance will have an important political effect in Persia and possibly an influence upon tral Powers against Egypt.
 S Avoided Italy or Russia.
 Comment upon King Ferofnands speech before the Bulgarian parlia- ment point out as significant that while he attacked the motives of Great Britain and France, as being "A disgrace to civilization" he avoid ed mention of Italy or Russia.
 Conflicting accounts come from Athens and Saloniki regarding the movements of the troops of the Gen. tral Powers on the Macedonian border but there are persistent reports that the Greeks have given the Bulgarians prmission to cross the border if they and their allies are still intent on fol- lowing the entente troops to Saloniki.
 The recent French official state meHts indicate that the allies are maintaining the offensive in the west with the fighting fiercest in the vosges =

OSBORNE OFFERS $2,000 BAIL FOR APPEARANCE
To Answer Charges in Indict- ments of Westchester
 County Grand Jury.

White Plains, N. Y., Dec. 29.- Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of Sing Sing, who was yesterday indicted by the Westchester county grand jury, appeared here today with his attor- neys and offered $2,00O bail for ap- pearance later to answer the charges No date for the pleading was set.
 The bail was furnished by Robert s. Brewster of Mount Kisco. When MT. Brewster was asked if he would qualify for double the amount of bail required, he replied:
 "Yes, or for $500,OOO or $1,O0O,- 0OO."
 New York, Dec. 29.-Warden Thomas Mott Osborne of Sing Sing prison went to White Plains today for appearance before the supreme court to answer to indictments by the Westchaster county grand jury charg- ing him with perjury, neglect of duty, mismanagementa and immortality. John B. Riley, the state superintendent of prisons. who, it is understood, dis cussed the case with Governor Whit man last night, announced that MT. Osborne would be removed as soon as a successor could be folund. MT. Riley said that he expected to take that action some time today.
 When informed of Superintendent Riley's intention, the warden said: "If Superintendent Riley is not party to the foul conspiracy against me he will do what any decent man will do, that is give me a fair show while waiting to see whether am guilty or not. This indictment surely does not convict me nor would it ever do so.'' When he was asked what arrangements he had made to give bail, the warden replied: "I guess that will be all right, although a man with such a black character as the indictment paints me as having may not be able to get any bail at all.'
 Albany, N. Y, Dec. 29.-George w. Iirchwey, former dean of Columbia Law school, conferred with Governor Whitman today, and this led to the inference here that he had been de- cided upon as successor to Thomas Mott Osborne as warden of Sing Sing priSor
