A dispatch from Lemberg says the Russians are advancing successfully along a wide front between 1 Bartfeld and Uzsok, descending the southern slope of the Carpathians and pressing hack the Austrians. In 1 the Dukla region also the Russians are said to have routed the Austrians, forcing them to abandon stores and 1 transports in their retreat. The Meuse-Moselle region still is 1 the scene of the principal contest in ' the west. Although the French at- ( tacks have been made with increas- 1 ing vigor, Berlin reports tW&t vir- 1 tually nothing has been accomplish- 1 ed by these tactics. An official re- 1 view of these operations contains 1 tbe statement that the Germans I have regained all the positions lost ' earlier in the fighting, with a few : unimportant exceptions, and that 1 the French have sustained extremely 1 i heavy losses. J London heard rumors of another naval engagement off the English coast. It was said heavy firing was under way off Scarborough, one of the east coast towns attacked by > the German squadron in its raid of several months ago. The bare announcement was re- 1 ceived in London today thrft the British steamer Wayfarer had been sunk by a German submarine. The German attack near the Prus- 1 sian frontier has been resumed and another battle is in progress for possession of the important Russian fortress of Ossowetz. Recent abandonment of the seige of this fortress < had been interpreted in Petrograd ? as meaning the Germans had given 1 up hope of breaking through the 1 Russian line there and advancing on j Warsaw from the North. ] BBHBHBIBBHnHnRia B ' SOL PERE ds of people cr< dree and surro tunity to put i price with the g Law Sale as i low prices.

"Since the appointment was anounced the constitutional objection as been raised that probably only a ^ ualified elector of this State was ] ligible, and I am frank to say that le objection seems potent. In ask- 1 lg Dr Sargent to undertake the ] jperintendency I had in mind only le welfare of the patients of the ( istitution. I overlooked this con- 1 :itutional question, but I stand for J le Constitution and laws of our tate, both of which are my guide 1 the conduct of the office I hold, wish to say to the people of the tate that I have revoked the apointment of Dr Sargent as superltendent, because I respect the onstitution, and will not even apear to evade it." i A dispatch from Columbia deted ' .pril 14, says: "Dr Fred Williams f Columbia, wa3 this morning ap- 1 ointed superintendent of the State 1 [ospital for the Insane to succeed j >r T J Strait, of Lancaster, on May ' 0.
