THE TURKISH TROUBLE.
The Porte Waiting for the Powers-Outrases
by Bulgarian Troops.


LONDON, Oct 21.--The Porte has decided not
to send troops into eastern Roumeia without
European mandate The various diplomates in
this city consider the aspect of the situation as
very serious and fear that the Turkish circular,
the discussion of the matter by the ambassadors.
and the action of Servia, may impart Eu-
ropean character to the Bulgarian question,
which the powers desire to localize. The Porte,
however, will not admit that it is only local
question.
Bulgarians on outpost duty on the frontier of
the province of Adrianople have outraged a
number of Mussulman girls, and killed peas
ant who was crossing the frontier.
The garrison at Philipopolis numbering 1000
men and 1000 Macedonian volunteers,o have
started for the Servian frontier. The Bulgarian
government depends upon the powers to pre-
vent Turkey from commencing hostilities, and
urges an alliance between Bulgaria and Turkey
as the best guarantee for the preservation of
the Ottoman empire.

for war are incessant. Significant movements
of troops are being made and correspondents

The count has occupied the attention of the
candidates and their friends all day. 1t has
been closely watched by both parties. During
the day the judges of Precinct F. Ninth ward,
came in to complete their returns. The return

Duckworth Club election return blank, with the
vote filled in Ex-Governor Moves, acting
for the Republican candidates. pro.

being received. The clerk, however, received
the return aud Mr.. Noyes said the matter would
be brought before the courts.
When precinct D, Nineteenth ward, was
reached Ex-Governor Noyes protested ag ainst
its being received, because the count Of votes did
not begin until Wednesday night, twenty
hours after the poll closed. The protest was
noted, and the precinct was canvassed. Protest
was also made by Mr.. Noyes against precinct

clerk refused to sign the returns, on the ground
that the box had been removed to station
house and the ballots tempered with. The pro-
test was noted and the count proceeded.
