AKD TIIE MOUTIIS OF THE DANUBE, Rantimore Amertenn, The Danuhe {s a river 1,550 miles In length, flowing through the very heart of Europe, with moroe than twenty important tributarics. Al- most along its whole course it fs very difficult to navizate, tiil at last, oozing rather than flow- ing through marshes, sand-banks, and wide flats crowned with willows, it enters the Black Sca. An carly English traveler, before the days of Queen Elizabeth, says that in sailing slowly past Its mouth he saw what appeared to him black rocks, but which, tu fact, were trees aod roots covered with sand and alime brought down by thedull current of the river, which were grad- ually forming great osler flats, and*were becom- ing firm land, Thenorthern bank of the Danube ot its mouths Is the present Russtan Province of Bessarabla. The southern forms the extreme northicastern boundary of Bulgarla, In Hessa- rabia, on the banks of the River Dnclster (for- merly the boundary between Muscovy and Tur- Key), 18 Bender, where Charles XIL of 8weden took retuee after his defeat by Peter the Great 1o 1790. There, too, upontbe Danube's northe eru branch, was the strong fortress of Ismall, taken from the Turks by the Russians under Suwarrow, who reduced it to sshes after a fear- ful massacre of its garrizon and its inhabitants fn 1700. Lord Dyron sang its death sooe in Don Juan: There wan an end of Tamall, hapless town! Far flashod her burning towers o'cr Danube's stream. And redly ran her blnshing waters down. ‘Tho horrid war whoop and the shriller scream Rose stlll, but fainter were the thunders grown, Of forty thousand who had manned the wail Bome hnndreds breathed—thorest werastlent all, ‘The usuai passage of the Russians into Tur- Ikey has been by a bridee of boats across the Danube from Bessarabia into Dulgaria. This introduced them futo what has been callea the Quadrilateral, defended by threa great fort- resscs and the Black Bcen, tho fortresses belng Stllstrin, S8hunls, aud Varn, the two latter somctimies callcd the Gates of Constantinople. There has always been a tradition that which- ever slde triumphed In the first campalgn at the slege of Silistria should conquer at tho end of thewar. In the prescnt war the Russians altogether disrecarded Sliistris, and En.ulm; ‘boldly through Roumania, in splto of the pro- tosts of ita Government aud inhabitants, passcd the Danube ot 8istova, 250 miles to the west of tho old crossing place. At the mouth of the Danube lics a reedy swamp, very possibly cre- ated in the way deseribed by the old Euglish traveler. ‘Through it by many“inouths the river fllters to the sea. We speaksot many mouths, but only ouno 18 navigable for vessels of large draft, and only two others are avallable for un{ kind of navigation. The northern mouth, calle cd Killg, is no longer passable for vessels of any size, though it was once in posscssion of the Genaese, who held Iv for trading putposes. In ita uc(%’hburhood some future Schlicinno, capa- blo of braving malariu and mosquitoes, may yet find the rulns of 4 temple sacred to Achilles, Bit- uated uvun un island fu tha times of the an- clents, which Is now supposcd to have been wolded on to thse malnland by the alluvial deposits of the rver. Tho mid- dle mouth $Soullneh) is the only outlct for large veasels to the Black Bea.” In 1817 the Turxs ylelded its northern bank to the Rus. slans; togetlier with a low island at its entrance. It has o bar ouly covercd with ten or twelvo feot of water, and {s rl:f)hllv fliling up with de- posits of mud and sand, The Danube is o slug- zish river, without strength to keep ts own chapnel clear.

Russls, as well as Prussia, knows well the importance of correct geographlcal {uformation, both for military purposes and for aiplomacy, The trcaty on perusal at a distance from tho spot Jooks fair: “The mouth of 8t, George shall remaln open to vesscls-of-war snd merchant shins, both Russian and Turkishein common." But Rus sl engincera had previously surveyed and sounded all the Danube mouths, and well knuw that the Saint Georgze would not admit a yessel of auy kiud drawing five feet of water, Diplomatists have slwavs felt themselves to havo been overreached by Russia in this matter of the mouths of the Danube, sud are jealous of what fs practically her posscasion of the only avatlable vutlet of such an importunt European river, While sho has stipulated that no Turk shall live on the southern bank of the Bowluch Channel for six miies from its mouth, '~ the Powers are jealoualy watchtul lest sho should fortfy her swampy {sland, conslderiug that uny suck ércction might prove a key that would lock up the river. They cannot, however, prevent her Keepiuge gunbouts oo the spot, which would, probauly, in case of necd, anawor hier purposc as effoctually, Russia is under treaty obligations to endeavor to vlcur away thosana that every year accamulates fn the Boutinon Chanuel, and fs permitted to charge a small toll on vesscls passing through that passe sge to pay cxpenses, Numbers of wrecks of vesscls, which huve been lost whils secking the right pathway In theso shallow waters, are ot ull tlmes visible.

C., March 13.—Mr., Blalne to-day made another attack on 8churz, and as before succceded In placing himsell on the wrong side. He appeared as the defender of persons who have robbed the Government of wood, and allowed his personal hostility to Bee- retory Schurz to lead him into an awkward position. He attemoted to reply in detall to Schurz's letter without touching the vital legal points which it contained, or without showing that Schurz wos In any way violat- fng the law which, 88 a sworn offlcer of the Government, it Is his duty to exe. cute. Blaine's charge . was that Schurz had charged settiers in Montana 81 per cond for stumpare, when he should have charged but 15 cents; that wood in Montana only growson the hills owned by the Government, which the latter will not disposc of, and that the only re- sonrce tho scttlers have 18 to take it from the Government and then submit to whatever the Interior Department may properly impose. THE WEAR FOINT in the arcument was that the wood was taken by settlers for firewood, whereas it {3 siown by agents of the Interior Department, whom Blaine called sples and plmps, to have been cut by the owners of -mills for commercial pur- poses, and to be under the control of specula- tors generally. Neverthicless, it was plain that Behurz had few friends In the body of which be formerly was a member, for durfog Blaine’s speech enioymont was pictured on the face ot nearly all ~the Senators cxcept Stanley Matthews, Blaine and Sargent both, however, have shpwed that they prefer to rest under the imputation of defending the swindlers of the Governnfent than loso a chance to attack an honest Sccretary, who, at different times, has interfercd with cach of them. ' ANOTHER NLOW AIMED, 3 Later in the alternoon, when the bill making appropristions (url.honlllury Acadamy at West 'olnt was taken up, Senator sargent moved an omendment which provided that the President should henceforth only be empowered tohave (n the Academy ten cadets, appointed by himseif at large, tustead of forty, which he now has by lppfilndnz ten each year, This was to prevent the President from appointinz any more cadets during his term. _Scuator Liaine moved to so amend ameudment os to provide that these ten cad hiall be appointed from among the descend of Unlon soldiers, and thst mo others should be eligible. Sargent ob- {ecml to this, violently saying that in heas days of conciliation nolaw should be made which would exclude young men of ane section from the advantages of a military educatfon at West Point, Dlaine replicd in favor of his amendment, but. it was lost by n voto of 80 to 13. Tho question was then on Barzent's amend- ment, against the passageof which Stanley Matthews objected, pleadinig that ns President Hayes hos already made ten appolntments its passage would take from him the power of ap- pointing any more unless thero should be s va- cancy ju these ten. The Benato DID NOT PAVOI TIHE PIRESIDENT, and passed the Sargent muendment by a very large inajority, and then passcd the bl as amended.
