CONSTANTINOPLE, June 37. The Governor of the Erzeroum tele- graphs that the Russian army, consisting of 5000 horse, 16 battalions of infantry, ana 33 guns, attacked camp at Zermin, with the object of cecupying Sogholum. The ene. my opened fire from 19 guns in front of entrenchments of our right wing, in the afternoon. The Russian infantry and cav- alry attacked the left wing, commanded by Chero<el Pasha, The engagement lasted until evening, and resulted in the repulse of the Russians, who, however, recom menced the fight at night, to no purpose. The Russians were routed, and returned to their fortified camp. The Turks lost 400 killed and 79 wounded. The Russians lost 2000. The Russians are preparing for another attack. The Turks have advanced on the River Mortatscha, but spared churches and mon. asteries. They encountered 500 Monten. ‘egrins, and after six hours fighting defeat- led them with a loss of 1500.

He mean: to steer clear of the rock on » 7!) knap wrecked himself, and evi- deuliy uiends to observe the spirit as well as the letter of ithe law, which requires that such appointments shall be made only upon the recommendation of the Com- mandant and Council at posts where Trad- erships are vacant. Secretary Evarts’ foreign policy is occu- pying much attention of late. Secretary Fish has been called timid and inefficient, because of his quiet and non-aggressive temper; but those who know him_ best understand that be felt the nation must recover from the effects of the war before running the risk of any foreign emoproil- ment. Mr. Evarts is a Jawyer with atalent for diplomacy and with a disposition to add to his reputation by giving the country a new aud notable policy. <A leading New York paper says in reference to it:—* We have always held that some day the Ameri- can people would be electrified by a Presi- dent or aSecretary of State who would cut loose from the policy of Washington and Jetferson and give us one worthy of a na- tion of 45,000,000 people, wao have inti- mate relations—both commercial and so~ cial—wiih ev. ry other nation under the sun. Weth »F. Mr. Evarts is likely to be the leader of s new foreign policy, It will add gre tiy to the dignity ot our political contests .f we have toreign sub- jects to di-cuss as well as the petty local disputes who now take up #0 much of the time of the country.” lt is now pretty thoroughly understood the Administration has decided to favor the re-issue of the silver dollar and make them again legal tenders. Congress is to be urged to restore to its original place in the National currency the old Federal doi- lar of L792. Because of this decision there is hardly a doubt but that both Houses will agree and thus the matter is consider- ed by many as virtuaily settled. At least, friends of the measure take it so. One of the great arguments lately put forth for the subst.tution of silver coins for frac- tional currency is the fact that over $10,- QUO.000 10 fractional bills have been lost or worn out or destroyed. And, undoubtedly this great tax on the people, tor the privi-« lege of using a currency that a promiment silver man has termed one that is “© incon. Venient, soon soiled, and quickly worn out,” has gone far to reconcile some to the substitution of ‘*clean and durable silver coin.” Many and great objections are made to the remoneiiyation of silver, however, and lime alone can really settle the question. The city is quiet, as is usually the case during tbe season when it is too hot to moye, > M. W. ——— ._-eeoe + To the Editor of the Daily Examiner. Sir,—On Saturday, a fire broke out in the house occupied by Mr. Jame. Phillips, on Great George Street. lt was promptly checked, and what might have been a dess tructive conflagration was fortunately avert- ed. Strange to say, however, it »gain broke out oa Sunday in the same place,but by the timely arrival of the engines its progress w:s speedily stopped. The firemen be- haved admirably, aod the engines were in tine trim with one exception. I noticed that the Tremont engine, which formerly use i to be the foremost, did absolutely nothing, and that what was formerly a -plendid company of forty-eight men, is now reduced toa remnant of three. ‘The cause cf this deplorable fact, [ find, is to gratify the personal pique of some of the leading meu.bers of the fire department. lhe former popular and energetic captain, W. B. Allin, Esq, has been superseded and the men, resenting the insult, re. fuse to come under his successor. The conduct of the Fire Department is higaly reprehensible, for the property of the citi. zens is of more importance than the spite and caprices of those who for the moment are clothed with a litte brief authority Mr. Alia has done as much, if not more, than any other man in the city, to advance the interests and promote the efficiency of the Fire Department, and no one has un- dergone more &Suilerings at fires, or has suffered such physical injuries in endeavor. ing to protect the Ives and property of bis fellow citizens.

June 30—4in GRAND TEA PARTY MOREL, Pominion Day, N MONDAY, 20d July (Dominion Day this year), the Parishioners of Morrell propose having a Grand Tea Party in aid of their Chapel. The Tea will be held within a few hundred yards of the Morell River, and the Railway Station. This River is well known to be one of the finest streams'on the Islaud for fishing and for natural beauty and scenery. The Morell floating bridge and the railway bridge are quite near, aud will be worth a visit. The Superintendent of the [sland Railway has kindly promised to despatch « Special Train from Souris, at 9 a, m., for Morrell Tea, return- ing for Souris ia the evening. Likewise, another Special Train from Charlottetown, connecting at the Royalty Junction with the Summerside 6a, m. Train. This train wil return from Morell in the afternoon, connecting again at he Junction with the Summerside Traiv. P =r- ties trom the West, visiting the East (as the “Wise Men” did), can return the same day, after seeing Tracadie, Mount Stewart, St. Au- drews, Morrell, etc. For the hours of depar- ture and the fares, which will be half, if oot less, see Railway advertisement for Dominion Day. In addition to the games usual on such occa- sions, ample opportunities will be provided for base ball, quoits, and afew games of Lacrosse —the new Canadian game. The Committee io- tend to make this Tea a first-class one in every reapect. JAMES PHELAN, Sec’y.
