M.—A St. 'Petersburg dispatch to the Post says |it is expected another important bat tle will he fought on the Russo-Ger man front on Thursday. "It is known," says the dispatch, "that the Russian army is advancing on the whole front, with the Germans retiring before it. The public in St. Petersburg Is called upon to bear the | strain of suspense while awaiting j news and the strain is all the greater ; because it Is known that there has I been severe and prolonged fighting. | concerning which no news is allowed to be published. "The Russians are penetrating Gal icia In considerable force. Apparent ly Russia is prepared to wage quite a separate war in this region, the op erations centering in the Kiev militarv district. "The full significance of the Polish autonomy proclamation is thus becom ing clear. The task of this new Rus sian army is evidently to invade and occupy the country up to the Carpath ians, an admirable natural frontier." Says Austria Hungary Is Not Opposing Italy London, Aug. 26, 10.30 a. m.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegram from Rome says that according to , advices from Vienna, General Con rad, chief of the Austrian staff, has sent the following message to the Italian government. "The reports published in Italy that Austria-Hungary has aggressive intentions against Italy in order to revenge Itself for Italy's failure to participate in the war are absolutely without foundation and are stigma tized as malignant efforts put forth by a third party."

It is expected to simplify j matters very much, as ever since the | creation of the bureau complaints , have been made about the chaotic condition of the laws relative to bor oughs, actions at law frequently hav ing been lost because the right form was not used when there were two or ; three methods laid down in books, j Every session there has been an out | put of new laws relative to boroughs. | and an effort will be made t,o get I them in simple form.

All the houses in the neighborhood were struck by bullets and it appeared as though a battle had taken place. All doors and windows nearby were broken, ceilings fell in and the street was covered will dust half an inch thick. Three men were walking through the Due De La Come when the bomb fell. "One of them was killed and the other two were mortally wounded. An other passerby had a leg blown off. "A terrible panic prevailed, the peo ple rushing Into the streets, shouting and weeping and begging for assist ance. A married couple were sitting at a window in their home and both were killed."

The department has about twenty associations in process of ll jquidatlon. having prepared a form for ! that process so as to avoid the ex pense of receiverships and conserve the assets of the shareholders.
