DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
The coming Delegation Of the Officers
OF the /. n. g., as the City's
Guests.

On The 22nd and 23rd of this mouth
one week from to day and to morrow.
the officers of the Illinois National
Guard will meet in Rock Island. and the
RodInan Rifles are arranging for Il suit
able reception to the distinguished visi~
tors. There will be in this city on that
occasion from one hundred to two
hundred military men and strange to say
not move has been made by the citizens
50 far to contribute to the reception of
the visitors. The Rifles have appointed
a committee composed of Capt. Abel,
Mag. Garter, Lieut.. Chanpon, Lieut..
Wclch and Corporal WEIGH, who are
using their utmost eXertiouS to make the
reception and entertainment Of the mill
tary delegation fitting one. As long AS
citizens in general have manifested in
difference on the subject, the Rifles have
determined to shoulder the burden of
the expenses themselves.
1t is certainly about time that
a public move was made. The
delegation which comes to Rock
Island next week, will be as much
the guests Of the city as of the local mill
tary organization, and it is the duty of all
public spirited citizens to see that the
visitors are entertained in +. suitable man
ner during their Stay here.
The body consists of all the commis>
stoned officers Of the Illinois National
Guard or state militia, and the meeting is
held to attend to business pertaining to
the military government OF the state.
The society not ouiy includes the adjutant
general and staIl, the regincntal and
brigade officers, but the captains and lieu
tenants of every military company IN the
state which is included in the militia. 1t
is to be hoped that Rock Island will give
the worthy body a crcditablc public recep
JiDn.

as she would finish Il song or dance that
pleased then. Lolita told them that they
would get tired of such work before she
would she having been recalled several
times to repeat an act in response 10 the
flood of gold that was thrown 10 her.
The miners cared much less for the
money than they did TO see Lolita, but

TIE SERVO BULGARIAN WAR.


The Report Of Renewed Hostilities I'M
neutrality-suspicious. Proceeding Saith
factoriiy--The Porte's Prosistence--Out-
side Advice to Servia--An European Com
florence Talked Of.
LONDON, December s.-The report
coming by way of Belgrade yesterday af-
ternoon that Bulgaria has renewed hos
tilities proves to have been, like SO
many statements emanating from Servian
sources, complete misrepresentation Of
Prince Alexander's attitude. The armis-
tice has been observed with good faith.
Late dispatches show that negotiations
for settlement by Servia and Bulgaria
without the Intervention Of the
larger States are proceeding satis-
factorily, and that the outlook for a
peaceful solution of the difficulty is more
favorable than at any time since the out
break of the war. The Servian proposals
handed to Prince Alexander by special
envoy, are that upon the withdrawal OF
the Bulgarian army from Seryian terri
tory, the Servian troops operating in the:
direction of Widin shall retire. The de-
cision as to indemnity or the acquisition
OF territory on either side is then
to be left undereservedly with
the conference of the powers. The
Porte has forwarded two important mes
sages to Prince Alexander One warns
him that the armistice must be continued
until the powers decide otherwise, and
that he has no power to conclude final
terms of peace irrespective of the pow
ers, though he may arrange with King
Milan the basis of complete ces-
sation of hostilities. The other prom
Uses to carefully consider Bulgaria's re-
quest to refrain from sending the Govern
mental Commission into Roumelia, and to
withdraw the commission already sent to
Philippopolis. The popular animosity in
Roumelia against these Turkish agents
increases every day and threatens to re-
suit in another revolt against an attempt
to restore the Ottoman yoke. Mass
meetings are held daily, at which popular
orators exhort the people not to let their
liberty, so nearly realized, be snatched
from their grasp by the willy Turk.
THE SULTAN INTERPRETERS.
BELGRADE, December s.-The Porte
has sent an official letter to King Milan
warning him that any treaty. of peace
which he may conclude with Prince Alex
ander will be null and void without the
approval of its terms by the Sultan Of
Turkey, in view of the latter's suzerainty
of Bulgaria. King Milan has sent a con-
ciliatory reply, stating that he will refuse
to accept any terms of peace which would
be in violation of the Sultan's rights.
GOOD ADVICE.
LONDON, December 8.-The govern.
ments of Great Britain, France and Italy
have united in joint note to Servia urg-
ing her to conclude peace with Bulgaria
upon the best obtainable terms.
LONDON, December 8.-A dispatch
from Vienna to the Standard states that
Austria will summon an European con-
ference to decide upon the terms of peace
between Servia and Bulgaria.
