ARCHER THE JOCKEY
Rejects an Eligible offer OF Marriage
From q Duchess.

An interesting story involving romance
of the turf and the highest aristocracy has
just been brought to light. A. well-known
sporting Duchess became infatuated with
the most successful jockey in the world and
proposed to marry him. he was a widow
er and she had long been a widow. Her
preference was never emphasized until the
last race meeting at Newmarket. Fred
Archer rode Gray Hermit and ran dead
heat with Modena. When he failed to win
Archer found his fee was $500 instead of
the customary e10. Just after this her
ladyship preached the delicate question of
a matrimonial partnership. Then Archer
reflected. Her ladyship is over so years
old and Archer is only 80. He wrote re-
spectful answer to her ladyship's offer of
an alliance, but the letter was characterist-
ically horsey. He said he was overpower-
ed with the intended honor, but he couldn't
ride the weight.

European War.


The reply of the Great Powers to the
original note announcing the Bulgarian
coup detQt has been received at last. The
Great Council deliberated on Thursday and
decided that the Porte should send another
note, to serve as an ultimatum to Prince
Alexander. This note is now ready for
signature, thanks to the Powers prompt
recognition of the Sultan's rights; it takes
note of the counsel given with respect to
moderation in action, and informs the Pow
ers that the Porte, being equally DESTROYS
with them to avoid bloodshed, will engage
not to commence military coercion until the
Powers have tried again to bring about the
restoration of the statu quo ante. The note
concludes by pointing out the great mill
tary expenditure already incurred by Tur-
key and the improbability of delaying active
procee dings much longer.

ENGLAND AND BURmAH.
War Believed 10 be Almost In
eVitRbIe.

War between England and Burmah is al
most certain, and but few persons deny the
justice and necessity for such proceeding
on the part of Great Britain, although
minority of Liberal newspapers sneer at
the Tory aptitude for little wars, ignoring
their own history. The differences Of opin-
ion are virtually confined to the question as
to whether the deposition of King Theebaw
and the substitution of a successor, with a
controlling British resident at Mandelay,
is preferable to the annexation of Burmah
to India The Marquis of Ripon, ex-Vice-
roy of India, the bulk of the Radicals
and fraction of the Indian officials favor
the former plan, while Lord Randolph
Churchill, Secretary of State for India,
and vast majority of the people of Eng
land and India heartily support the latter
scheme

remonstrance of the Powers in regard to

While the wife of Jean Baptiste Romilly,
residing ten miles from Toronto, Ont, ae-
companied by her two-year-old child, was
feeding her fowls a large bald-headed
eagle swooped down and bore the little one
off in its talons. The neighbors turned out

time and succeeded in frightening the eagle
away. The child's body was recovered, but

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Narrow Escape of the Danish PresaIeP
From Death.

A desperate attempt was made to assas-
sinate Premier Estrup by youth named
Rasmussen, compositor. Rasmussen fired
two shots from a revolver at the Premier.
When i'll the act of firing the third shot the
would-be assassin was seized by couple of
detectives, n number of whom have con-
stantly been in attendance on the Premier
for some time past, owing to the extreme
hatred of the populace toward him and
other members of the Cabinet. Rasmussen
was hurriedly taken to prison, the officials
fearing that an attempt at rescue would be
made. The first shot struck button on
Herr Estrup's coat and glanced off. The
second shot went wide off the mark. Ras-
mussen declared that his motives were
political, AS Herr Estrups conduct in the
present controversy in Denmark is inimical
to the State.

WARLlKE PREPARATIONS.
The Servians on the March to Sophia
Activity Of the Turks.

The Servians have crossed the Bulgarian
frontier near Charkol. They are advancing
towards Sophia and are now near Dragoman
pass. King Milan is IN command. A panic
prevails at Sophia. Four battalions of in
fantry have gone to defend Dragoman pass
They have with them one or two batteries
of small field guns. There is no Bulgarian
heavy artillery nearer to the scene of the
disturbance than that at Sistova and Rust
chuk. It is expected that Sophia will be
captured by coup de main. Austria has
warned King Milan that whatever is the
issue of the present trouble it will be use
less for him to expect support from Aus
tria. The railway companies in Austria
and Hungary and the Danube Navigation
Company have been notified to prepare for

grin army has been supplied with ammuni-
ton and is in readiness for service.
NOTE OF THE AMBASSADORS.
The ambassadors have presented a note
to the Porte, in which they say further
time will have to be offered them, SO as to
obtain a complete European understanding
respecting the Roumelian difficulty, and
they advise the Sultan to continue his
peaceful policy. They do not dispute the
Porte's right to send troops into Roumelia
to assert his rights i'll that province. 1t is
believed that the Powers have advised Bull
garia, Servia and Greece more strongly
than heretofore to remain quiet. The
Porte's note regarding the ornaments of
Greece and Servia gave the Powers ground
to protest against their warlike attitude.
The Sultan considers the note of the En-
bassadors satisfactory, but he intimates
that he will not recognize the Bulgarian
union, no matter what the ultimate result
of the conference may be.-A large force of
Turkish troops has been ordered to advance
in the direction of Nissa. A battle between
Servians and Turks is imminent.
