LONDON, Dec. 3.-The Turkish delegates have
arrived at Philipopolis A meeting of citizens
was held, and the bishop urged them to repudi-
ate the proposal to restore the status quo ante.
The Russian agent was present, and said that
the delegates had preceded European commits
sion, and that the Sultans special commissioner
was coming TO reorganize the organic statutes.
He warned his hearers that, if the commissioners
were not received, Turkish troops would enter
the country, and that Russia would refuse as
sistance to the Roumelians. The meeting how
ever, declined to accept the commission, or to
treat on the matter of referring the
status quo ante. The Russian agent then
withdrew from the the meeting. The meeting
afterwards sent to various foreign consuls copy
of resolution which, in substance, was as fol-
lows: That the Turkish delegates be requested
to POSTPONE the object of their mission and de-
part for their homes; that the citizens of Phil
ipopolis only acknowledge Sofa, the capital of
Bulgaria, as the seat of government; that the

1t is stated that fighting has already been re-
sumed.
The Bulgarian government has sent another
circular letter to the powers. It points out that
Servia first declared war; that, after reverses,
Bulgarian valor forced the Servians to retire to
their own territory; that. despite the armistice
agreed to, the Servians continued hos
tilities against Widdin, and that
it was owing to threats made by the Austrian
minister at Belgrade that Prince Alexander
agreed to All armistice, and invited Servia to ap-
point delegates to arrange matters. 1t asks the
powers to appreciate the fact that the Bulgar
ians, when victorious, exercised moderation at
the risk of enabling the Servians to recover their
strength. Meanwhile, Bulgaria awaits Serva's
counter proposals. Prince Alexander gives as
surance that he will not try to influence the
Roumelians against the Portes delegates but he
asks the powers to persuade the Porte to defer
action until after the conclusion of peace with
Seryia.

His Report Recalled for the Purpose of Ex-
punging Objectionable Portions.
WASHINGTON Special
A sensation has been caused by the calling in
of all obtainable copies of the report of General
Hazen. the Chief of the Signal Service. This
action was taken by Mr.. Endicott, the Secretary
of War, for the purpose of striking out the fol-
lowing paragraph, rejecting upon the late Sec
retary of War, Mr. Lincoln, and Lieutenant
Darlington:
Lieutenant Garlington's record, in holding
ont promises of help. prevented Lieutenant
Greely, as had hoped and expected, from at
tempting the only trip possible, which was by
water to the south along the Eilesmere Land
coast Having retained the unfortunate party
at Cape Sabine by delusive hopes, it is the more
difficult to understand why Lieutenant CARING
ton failed even to request Commander Wildes
with the Yantic, which was within four days
steamlng of Cape Sabine, to return with assist
ance for the deserted party"
The original record left by Lieutenant CARING
ton on Brevoort island shows that the copy sub
mltted by that officer to the Proteus court of in
qniry contains a substitution, which was an
fter-thought the obvious intention of which
was to convey to the court the idea that he had
given Lieutenant Greedy absolute information as

Salisbury, the British Premier at the recent

The policy, the journal says, is correct and
pacific one, tending to prevent complications.
Lord Salisbury forgot that the blood now flowing
