the conduct OF servis in declaring war
against Bulgaria and says: at ia evident
that Serva acted on the prompting OF
Austria, and although il is not to our in
terest to prevent conflict between Rur-
sia and Austria, We can't help feeling that
AuBtIia's course is neither digniaed nor
straightforward, and that she will refuse
to accompany Germany in the path Of
Difference to Russia. This portends serious
changes in the system Of the European
states. The fact that Russia is unprepared
for war is prominent feature Of the ex-
isting situation.

of King Ths,ba~'s war Vessel.

BELoRApE, Nov. l6-After despera
fighting yesterday the Servian troops 90
cupied positions at Raftschs. The losses
on both sides were heavy. This victory
enabled the seryians 10 turn the very DIFF
6cult and rocky gorge Of Drsgoman Pssp,
and the Bulgarians, alter gallant resist
apce, retreated to Slivnitzl, where an i'm
portant engagement is expected 10 take
place to-day, which will probably decide
the fate OF Sofa.
The direct road to Sofa passes through
zaribrod and Dragoman, but anothe1runs
by way OF Urn and turns both defiles Of
Zribrod and DfagcmRn, resching Solsby
way Of BresDik. It vas probably on the
latter road tie fight Of yesterday took
place.
Colonel Djecknitch, commanding the
Terriok div sion, drove the Bulgarians
from the entTenchment at Klela and cap
tured $50 prisoners. The to;Al Seivian
loss is two officers and fifty men killed,
and 200 wounded. AntiEiciRl report from
Colonel Bsnecky says: after q brilliant
charge the SerVians carried four Bulgarian
redoubts beyond Z!aribrod. Colonel
Djecknitcb, with the Terhok division has
taken Kisla. The serVlan troops continue
advancing everywhere and have captured
400 prisoners. The ServiaDs have lost 200
wounded ami 500 killed. A great battle
Is being fought in the direction Of Drag
oman" The latter pro5Sbly refers to the
fight at RAitscha, reported in previous
press dispatch.
It Is reported from the front that the
Servians having burned the DrRgoman
Pass are now marching on Lofa, and that
the road to the line Of entertainments Of
that city Is clear.
The Bulgarian troops are making an oh.
stinate retreat. Five hundred BuIgsriAns
have been taken prisoners. The Servian
telegraph officials have been forbidden by
their lgoyernmentt to secept from, foreign

THE COAL MARKET.

The anthracite coal trade is in
vigorous condition, and every
thing points TO an enlargement OF next
years output. The New England and
lake markets are absorbing every ton that
can be shipped, but there are doubts ex-
pressed as to the permanancy Of the pres
emit activity. Manufacturers, railroad COM
panies and others are supplying the re.
auirements for winter, and it is argued
among buyers thst when these require
ments are iilled, there will be no sufficient
demand for the winter production and
that prices will react in favor Of buyers.
Bituminous coal producers are meeting
with a heavier demand, particularly for
Beech creek, Ohio and Virginia Goals,
which are meeting with much favor in
eastern markets There is falling of in
the demand for carpets, aud several large
concerns are preparing to diselnploy labor,

The 0i,y Gran,lnar schools.

DR.. Jepson's argument before the
Board Of Education in behalf Of central
grammar school is very clear and forci,
bio presentation Of aquestion which ia
pressing for settlement DIR. Jepson favors
the solution OF the problem which is in the
line of economy and of tho greater Of
ficlency Of the public school system. For
tunately, this is the view which, We be-
lieye, the public has already taken, and
this conviction will be strengthened by 50
logical an exposition Of the case.
The starting point in this mater is that
the schools need more room. This end
can be gained better and at less cost by
the erection OF a central grammar school
building than in any other way. Thatthe
work can be more systematized by this
method Is obvious.
Nobody need take fright at the name o.
high.school. That is merely to. comply
with the law. 1t is not proposed to in
crease the number Of studies in the line
Of instruction which does not fall properly
within the scope Of the public school
system. We have already gone higher
than tho public ought to- so, and there il
little danger Of going further in that
direction.
The idea Is to meet atthe least expense
the requirements Of the schools and to
enable the city inits effort to give com
mon school education, TO do better by the
pupils. Something must be done and this
plan seems to be the easiest aud best
