RUMORS OF AN ARMISTICE.
The war.

LONDON, November 19.-Bulgaria is
denuding the Turkish frontier of troops
and is sending all her available forces
to the front to combat the Servians
The public are allowed to go to the
depots en- route to see their relatives and
friends. Many of the villagers tramp
long distances and wait at the depots
several hours, and in some cases whole
days and nights in order to see their
friends, and give them flowers and
presents. Prince Alexauder's success
before Slivitzna has revived the courage
of those going to the front and they
undergo extreme hardships with re-
markable fortitude. In many cases
they are compelled to march long dis
tances in bad weather, and at night
camp in open spaces, where they are
shelterless, not having an ordinary
tent to protect them from the severity
of the weather.
LONDON, November ia rumor
prevails that an armistice has been
agreed upon between Servia and Bull
garia.
BELGRADE, November 19.-An ac-
count from Tsaribrod, the Servian
headquarters. of the battle yesterday
before OllVltZnd STATES J0dG the OerYlanS
were unable to bring their full strength
into action and were thus defeated and
compelled to withdraw to Dragoman
Pass. The junction of the Danube,
Drina and Shumalia divisions with the
second-class reserves will be completed
to-day. This will bring forty-eight
more battalions of infantry into action
together. d
A dispatch from Tsaribrod says two
Bulgarian battalions were defeated to-
day in an engagement with Servians on
the road between Bresnik and Pernik.
The Bulgarians lost 200 men killed and
wounded. The Servians captured sixty
prisoners and a quantity of ammunition
and prisoners.
BRUSSELS, November 19.--The hide
peadence Beige, to-day, publishes dis
patch from its correspondent at Sofia,
stating that the Servians attacked the
third Bulgarian regiment, escorting an
ambulance train, and bayonetted the
wounded soldiers in the ambulances.
The correspondent also states that
Prince Alexander submits to the terms
of the Sultan. embodied in the latter's
reply to the Princes appeal for help,
and begs the Sultan to aid him at once.

The Reichstag.

BERLIN, November 19.-The Reich
stag was opened to-day with the usual
formalitles. The Imperial speech in
substance was as follows: The Pope's
mediation is expected to settle the Caro-
lines question in a manner correspond
ing to the friendly relations existing be-
tween Spain and Germany. The foreign
relations of Germany are peaceful and
friendly with all nations. The emperor
confidently hopes the Balkans will not
disturb the peace of EUROPE and trusts
that the signers of the Berlin treaty
will succeed in securing respect for the
treaties by the people rendered indie
pendent by them. The Emperor said
that he was animated by confidence
that Gods blessing in the future as in
the past will be granted by Germany
efforts to maintain peace.
The speech points out the necessity
of increasing the grants 10 the army
and navy, and announces that bills
will be presented dealing with the tax
alton of sugar and brandy; the extern
sion Of the accident insurance law; the
forming of canal connecting the Baltic
Sea with the River Elbe and North Sea
1t adds that negotiations are proceed
ing with England, Spain. France, Port.
ugal, and Zanzibar, regarding the
extent to which the German trans.
oceanic establishments and acquisitions
will henceforth be placed under the
immediate protection or supervision of
the German empire. The passages OF
the speech referring to the Carolines
and Balkan troubles were loudly app.
lauded.

suicide or Accident /?

New YORK, November 19.-Dr. VIM.
Fotheringham, one of the best known
physicians in this city, committed sui
eide this morning by shooting himself
through the head. 1t is supposed the
deed was done during temporary at.
tack of insanity. Doctor Fothering-
ham was the physician that brought
Charles O'Conor back from deaths door,
when everybody had given up all hope.
Further investigation by the family
and police convinced both that the doc
tors death was due to an accident
rather than suicide.
