BULGARIA MOVED BY HATRED OF THE TURK STROKE FOR LIBERTY LONG PLANNED For Centuries the Domination of the Sultan Has Galled Proud Little Nation Now Determined, with Arms If Necessary, to Throw Off the Yoke —Dreams of Past Greatness Revived —Large and Superbly Equipped Army in Readiness for Eventualities.

LONDON. —For those who know Bulgaria and the Bulgarians it is not hard to understand what Prince Ferdinand’s proclamation 1 of the independence of the country means to his people. It is the consummation of 30 years of patient, crafty, never-swerving effort, always directed to the one purpose, by the minds of statesmen who were not afraid to match theii' wits with those of the prime ministers of the great western powers and whose rewards were occasional victories. It is the consummation, too, of the prayers and hopes of the 4,000,000 people of Bulgaria ever since the treaty of Berlin, dictated by Disraeli, deprived them of the advantages secured for them by Russia in the treaty of San Stefano. A westerner can hardly appreciate the Bulgar’s hatred for the Turk. It ts the relic of centuries of slavery, during the time when Europe was awaking from the sleep of the middle ages, and it is hatred that knows no bounds, no modifications, that is undying and impossible of mitigation. Bulgarians have never forgotten that in the olden days, when western Europe was for the most part sunk in barbarism, the czar of all the Bulgars dominated the entire Balkan peninsula, and the Bulgarian church was a treasury of learning and art. It is a far cry from Stephen Dushan, last of the Balkan czars, to Ferdinand, czar of the Bulgars, and, indeed, the Bourbon blood of Ferdinand contains not one drop of the fluid that flowed in the veins of the medieval hero, but to the Bulgars the proclamation of Tirnova represents a return to the old estate. On the fatal field of Kosovo, “the plain of the blackbirds,” so called from the hordes of scavengers that descended on the slain, June 15, 1389, Sultan Amurath dealt the final blow to the Servian and Bulgarian armies commanded by King Lazarus. From that day until the last century the Ottoman empire dominated eastern Europe and the Balkan peninsula was turned into a second Asia Minor. It is one of the proudest boasts of the Bulgars that for more than four centuries they were the bulwark of Europe against the Mohammedan armies, and that when they did fall they fell gloriously, fighting to the last. Then Came Degeneration. But in the cycles that came after Kosovo the Bulgar race degenerated sadly. It became a race of stolid peas-

ants, heavy, stupid, uneducated, and so it remained until the wave of insurrection swept over Europe in the first half of the nineteenth century. San Stefano made Bulgaria nominally free from Turkey. She was to have almost the whole of what is now known as Macedonia, with a seacoast on the Aegean, besides the country beyqud the Rhodopes. But this did not suit Disraeli. He summoned the congress of Berjin and British battleships proved too much for Russian UNCLE SAM JUST A LOOKER-ON. Bulgarian Independence Would Be a Commercial Advantage. Washington.—The position of the American government in regard to the acute situation in the Balkans is largely that of a looker-on. It is a situation, the officials say, with which the signatories to the treaty of Berlin have to do. The United States does not tolerate the interference of the European governments with American affairs and this government, not being a signatory to the Berlin treaty, has no voice in complications or developments which may arise out of the carrying into effect or the breaking of that convention. If the Bulgarian independence movement proves successful and a new government is established. some notification to that effect will be communicated to the United States; likewise any change in the political condition of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, according to the Berlin treaty, were, with a certain reservation, specifically named to be occupied by Austria.

diplomacy. Bulgaria was hacked, cut down, amputated into a tuppenny-ha’-penny principality, a vassal state of Turkey, bound to pay a fixed annual tribute, to be determined later. Since then Bulgaria has been devoting her efforts to educating her people, to building up the most efficient fighting machine owned by a small power in Europe, and to skillfully carrying on a propaganda in Macedonia calculated to advance her interests in that country. At the same time the Bulgarian statesmen have been watching and waiting an opportunity to proclaim the country's independence. Actually, they have always been free; nominally, the sultan has been their suzerain. In Prince Ferdinand they had a ready tool at hand. He is vain, ambitious and equally crafty. As a statesman he has proved himself no mean antagonist during the 20 years of his reign, and he has been willing to sacrifice anything for the privilege of calling himself king. . Prince Tolerated for His Brains. So Europe has had the curious spectacle of a ruler, selfish and bound to his own ends, working hand in glove with his people for the same result. It is indifferent to his subjects what. Ferdinand of Bulgaria calls himself. They despise him personally, while recognizing that he is an able ruler, and let it go at that. In the Turkish revolution, brought about by the Young Turks party, Bulgaria saw the opportunity she had awaited so long. In fact, some extremists may be prone to believe that Bulgaria had a hand in the organiza- , tion of the Young Turks. Ferdinand saw instinctively the best way to accomplish what he wanted. Austria, trembling over the safety of - her tenure of Herzegovina and Bosnia, . was anxious for any plan that would undermine the treaty of Berlin. Very likely Austria was only too happy to [ have a small nation like Bulgaria start i the ball rolling, rather than run the i risk of bringing down upon her own head the wrath of the great powers. Bulgarian statesmen and army officers have repeatedly declared that all Bulgaria wanted before declaring war , against Turkey was the moral and financial —particularly the latter — backing of one of the great powers. • Apparently Bulgaria has that now in I Austria. If Italy, Russia and Germany - can be induced to keep their hands off

then there is not much chance of France and England, who, after all, have few interests at stake, interfering. That at least appears to be the argument of the Bulgarian government. Can Put Big Army in Field. That Bulgaria is prepared for war none who has had an intimate view of the country can doubt. Bulgaria's army on a peace footing consists of over 50,000 men of ail arms. According to Capt. Mischicoff of the general JUUL2JLPJL2JL2JLe^ Commercially, American interest in the Balkan states affected by recent I developments in that section of the world are not very important, and it matters little what, their political affiliations or conditions may be, so long as American interests are on equality as affecting trade and the rights of its citizens with those of European countries. Imports from and exports to Bulgaria for the last year for which statistics are available practically balanced, amounting in each case to about $280,000. In diplomatic matters it probably would be more satisfactory to the United States to deal directly with Bulgaria as an independent sovereignty, instead of through the medium of Turkey, as now. The case of Miss Ellen Stone, the American missionary, who several years ago was captured by Bulgarian brigands and held for ransom, is an instance in point. There were long and tedious delays in securing her release, which, it is believed, could have been avoided had the United States been able to deal with Bul- , garia at first hand.

। staff plans had been mapped out whereby 200,000 trained men could be put in the field on the opposite side of the Macedonian frontier in two weeks. In another two weeks two more armies of 100,000 men each could be placed on a war footing. The army is divided into nine military districts, each of them the headquarters of a division which, on a war footing, would become an army corps. Similarly the entire army is organized on a skeleton basis. The regiments, whose peace footing is 800 men, would be increased to the strength of the Japanese regiments, a trifle more than 2,000 men.

I reconnoitering and scouting. Possibly ' the total force of the cavalry corps 1 would be 7,000 sabers. So far as • mounts go, it has the best Hungarian ■ or Russian horses that money ci^^ i buy, quite up to those in the Americ^ - ’ service. - The artillery has recently been equipped with SO brand-new six-gun field batteries of the Creusot make, and, all told, probably has about 600 quick-firing guns, not counting machine guns and heavy siege pieces. The infantry, which is splendid fighting material, carries the Mannlicher five-shot rifle and knife bayonet, and is largely officered by men who have been under fire in the Macedonian revolt. It was a favorite trick, while the revolution lasted, for officers to be given leave of absence for an indefinite length of time, to visit their friends. They went across the frontier with the insurgent chetas. Perhaps the greatest military advantage Bulgaria possesses lies in the fact that both her personnel and equipment are at a maximum of efficiency. This is based on statements by officers of her general staff. Provisions of the Treaty. The principality of Bulgaria was created by the treaty of Berlin, signed July 13, 1878. It was ordered by the treaty that Bulgaria should be constituted an autonomous and tributary principality under the suzerainty of the sultan, with a Christian government and a national militia. The prince of Bulgaria should be freely elected by the population and confirmed by the sublime porte, with the consent of the powers, but no member of any reigning house of the great I European powers should be elected. | Eastern Rumelia (since its union with Bulgaria, also known as Southern Bulgaria) was created by the f treaty of Berlin. Signed July 13, 1878. It was to remain under the direct po- . litical and military authority of the sul--3 tan, under conditions of administrative - autonomy, with a governor general nominated by the porte. On September 18, 1885, the government was overr thrown by a revolution and the union i of the province with Bulgaria pros claimed. f The estimated area of the principal- - ity of Bulgaria proper is 24,380 Eng--1 lish square miles, and of South Bul)_9_Q cH9O 9 0 9 e>>;99 ? 0 9 9 9 9 ,0, 1 THE BIRTH RATES OF EUROPE, t 3 Highest in the Eastern and Southern t Part of the Continent. 5 Nearly every country in Europe publishes a summary of the information f obtained in the census of its popula--1 tion, which is taken every five or ten , years. By studying these condensed i reports interesting comparisons as to the growth of population may be obtained. 1 For instance, it is found that in proportion to population the birth rate is ’ larger in eastern than in western Eu- - rope and in the southern than in the - northern part of the continent. , The birth rate is more than twice as - large in Russia as it is in France. In i Normandy and the southwestern part ) of France, where the birth rate is low- { est, the births at times fall as low as - 15 to the thousand inhabitants in a j year. But in Russia there are many - districts, as in Orenburg, where the , births are as high as 60 a thousand in -a year. Notwithstanding the enormous emigration from Europe in the nineteenth

May Split) with England. And this is w!rere the split with England may cc me. The opening of the straits wou d place Russia in a position to congest at an early day I her supremacy In the Levant. With her great interet ts in Egypt and with the necessity for guarding the Suez route to India against all attack, it would become imperative upon her in the course of a few years to keep a vastly more powerful and expensive fleet in the Mediterranean than is at present needful. The reward offered to Italy for consenting to the Austrian territorial aggrandisement is no doubt a hand in the colonization of Tripoli, towards | which she has Iqmg had aspirations. ’ This concession is not unlikely to suit Germany’s plans, i since it may create [ suspicion and jeajlousy on the part of j France, aiming ais it does to a complete preponderance of influence in the north of Africa. Germany cannot but be pleased also at the blow to the Young Turk movement, inevitable from the loss of so much territory to the porte, even though the hold on it was little more than nominal. Down to the time of the Young Turk; uprising, Germany was the most influential of the powers at Constantinople. The sultan relied on the kaiser for support against the rest of Europe and the kaiser hoped to secure great Advantages—first in the way of railroad concessions and ultimately in terrri dry in the Turkish regions of Asia, llhe Young Turk success dispelled tht German influence and curbed German ambitions. Edward of England supplanted William as the best friend vs the Ottoman government. Anything that might tend to cause reaction in Turkey, therefore, cjiuld not fail to give satisfaction in Berlin. century its population now is nearly double what it was at the beginning of the century. It is believed that at the beginning of the Christian era there were only a few million people in the whole of Europe. It does not seem likely that the present rate of increase can continue for many centuries to come. That part of Great Britain occupied by England is now the most densely peopled region in Europe. The crowding of so many millions together is at last having the effect of diminishing the birth rate. Statistics show that it has declined one-fourth in the last 28 years. If this goes on it will not be a very long time before the English birth rate is as small as that of France. In some parts of Germany, as in Berlin and the region around it, the birth rate is declining, but in most of the empire it still appears to be holding its own. While the great zoological garden of London has 1,621 birds, there are 2,530 in New York’s Bronx zoological park.

SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE. More Than Willing to Make Transfer with Physician. A Syracuse business man who, besides being extremely active and ambitious, has much sense of humor, was taken sick with a slight attack of i pneumonia. His physician, aware that it would be a task to keep his highstrung patient in bed, sought to impress on him the seriousness of the j ailment, and the necessity of absolute rest; all of which the sick man lis- I ; tened to in a bored manner. Never- I theless he consented to obey the doc- i i tor. But this enforced inactivity rankled 1 ■in him; and each succeeding day found the patient importuning the ' medical man attendant to allow him ito get out to business. Then, dis- j gusted, he would lie back to cast imprecations at the inexorable physician. One morning the physician, after having been up all night on an important case, appeared at his patient's house at the usual hour. He had hardly stuck his haggard face inside the door, however, before the man in the bed gave him a quick glance and sat up. “Eh? ejaculated the patient. Then ■ shoving out his hand to grasp the doctor’s satchel, he added: “Doc, 1 guesa you’d better get into bed here and let me go out with the medicine bag.” CURE AT CITY MISSION.

One day 1 bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient, well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent.

WANTED IT OVER WITH.

The child was sent to bed early , the other evening as punishment for some act contrary to rules and regulaI tions. After she had been tucked in bed for some time and was supposedly | asleep, the youngster called her fa- ; ther and told him she wished he would 1 go ahead and spank her and have it over with, instead of sending her off to bed that way. “This lying in bed never’s go>ig to make me any better,” j she said, “and a good spanking would. ’ Besides it makes me so mad I can’t sleep and so what’s the use of it?” Cleveland Plain Dea’er.

The peasants of France, in accordance with a tradition, pierce the head of a magpie with a thorn whenever they catch one. According to the French legend, after Jesus had been i nailed to the cross two birds alighted ;on the extended arms of the instrument of death. One was a magpie with a beautiful aigrette on its head and a long waving tail, then the handsomest of birds but the wickedest, > chiiping insult at the suffering Jesus. The other bird was a modest little j bird with gray plumage, which approached the cross timidly, uttering cries of grief. With its beak it tried to pluck away one of the thorns. A single drop of the blood fell on the pitying little gray bird and gave the robin redbreast. Husband and Wife. Lo man yet was ever made more tender by having tenderness demanded of him; no man yet was ever cried into loving his wife more. 1 am willing to admit that men are as faulty creatures as women themselves, unsympathetic in small things, often blind, and that they may easily be exasperated into small brutalities .of speech. If a woman refrains from exacting devotion, and is unswervingly kind and unselfish, a husband who has any affection for his wife at all can be left to look out for doing his share. He will look out for it anyway; no one else can make him. Neither tears nor entreaties will wring from him those small kindnesses and attentions so dear to women. —A Wife, in Harper’s Bazar.
