New Element Of Surprise.
PETRoGRAD. July 27.-The brilliant
blow struck by Gen. Sakharoff along
the River Slonevka, north of Brody.

The original attack against Brody.

fered a strong barrier to any direct
advance along the Dubno-Lemberg rail-
road. and. since the beginning Of Gen.

scarcely ten miles distant from Brody.
The joint pressure Of these forces and
those stationed at Radziviloff now deh-
nitely threatens the Brody-Lembers
line and is likely to bring about the
retirement Of the Austrians from Brody
in the direction of Lemberg.
Austrian Attempt Fails.
The Austrian answer to tho Russian
attack has been renewed attempts tc

piece between S:15 and 1880 o'clock.
This probably is the first time that

of the special features of this produc-
ton, for which the engagement of
Stage Director Frear and the two light

Special attention is being paid to
the work Of the six young women of

play the parts of the pert serving maids
in the first acts. On these Young wom-

BAD LOADING OF PISTOL
SAVES POLICEMAN'S LIFE
James Greedy Held for Housebreak-

nard Benton Also Held.

The fact that rim-fire revolver was

MAY APPEAL DIRECTLY
FOR PENSION MEASURE
Citizens Associations Considering
Petition to Congress in Behalf
of Policemen and Firemen.

That legislation be enacted at this
session providing for the adequate re-
tirement and pensioning of members
of the Districts fire and police depart
ments may be specially requested of
Congress by the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations.
Suggestion that the federation Sc
lect four of the most important bills
affecting the District now pending in
Congress and urge their immediate en-
actment has been made to officials of
the organization, and a special meet =
ing for this purpose probably will be
held within the next week or ten days.
The pension matter is regarded as
practically assured of being among the
specially Endorsed measures.
Since it acts as a clearing house for
the deliberations of the individual as
sociations of the District the fedora :
ton, in the opinion of its officials,
should take steps to convey to Con-
greSs an idea of what a majority of
the people of the capital regard as the
most important legislation proposed for
their welfare.
To Be Guided by Associations.
In selecting limited number of
bills for special Endorsement the fed
Grafton will be guided by what the in
dividual associations have done. This
makes certain inclusion of the police
and fremen's pension bill. since it is
doubtful if any other legislative pro-
posal has been so uniformly approved
and urged by the various citizens or
CARNATIONS of the capital
Another bill expected to be among
the select four is the Tinkham measure
providing that assessments for street
Improvements shall not become pay
able until after the thoroughfares in
question have actually been opened for
use.
1t is expected that the procedure of
the fedora ton will beTo appoint a spe-
cial legislative committee with instruc-
tons to ask the House District or
other committees of Congress for 4
hearing on the bills, which the central
citizens body may urge he adopted at
this session.
