BULGARIA GIVES HER ANSWER.
The Constitution and Laws to Cover
l'nnaasslnnG.

The Constitution and Laws to Govern
Concessions.
A despatch from Sofia, Oct 5, says Gen.
Kaulbars having again asked for reply to
Rus,ia's ultimatum, the ministry to-day
Sunday, after long discussion, drafted
reply, to the effect that the Bulgarian
government would comply with the demands
of Russia to the extent that the constitution
and laws would permit. 1t is expected when
this reply is delivered tomorrow Gen.
Kaulbars will demand more precise answer
A new paper, Independent Bulgaria, the
first number of which has just appeared,
makes violent attack on Russia and General
kau'bars, and opposes the liberation of the
imprisoned conspirators, saying the people
would stone them to death if liberated. In
conclusion the paper threatens the govern
ment with viol ,nce if it submits to Russias
demands.
A large meeting in support of the govern
ment was held to-day. During the meeting
the editor of the Zankoff organ and another
man cheered Russia. They were roughly
handled by the crowd. Gen. Kaulbars, hear
ing of the circumstances, drove I'D and adj
dressed the crowd, complaining of their in
sulting conduct. He also warned the people
against accepting the advice of their present
leaders. He was received at first with onthu-
siasm which soon gave place to repeated in
terruptions Gen. KaulbarS became pale
with excitement, and seemed to gasp for
breath. He drove from the meeting directly
to the residence of the German consul. The
suppostion is that Gen. Kaulbars intended to
provoke an insulting demonstration which
would serve as a pretext for Russian interview
ton. The General expresses his intention to
stump the country. 1t is believed that no
has exceeded his instructions, and that M.
DeGiers only asked that the conspirators be
NOT eyecuted

Balls That Hit In Battle.

The question has often been raj sed
what proportion of balls exchanged by
hostile armies will hit their mark and
kill' Difficult as it is to solve it exactly.
some approximate result may be arrived
at from the number of balls-cstimated
at 90, 900, 000-which were fired by the
Germans in the war of 1901. The
French army lost, in dead and wounded,
about 140, 900 men. According to this,
only one ball out of 143 fired hit its man,
and, assuming that on an average only 1
man out of hit was actually killed, it
would seem that only one rife ball in
$50 proved fatal. If it is further con-
sidered that the number of men wound
ed and killed by the guns of the artillery
are included in the above estimate, 1t
may safely be said that not over one
rifle ball in 1000 fred proves to be fatal

Eau FiOwtng.
Fall blowing. says Ben: Perley Poore
in the Cultipator, is important for those
who mean to farm we'll. Ono great
trouble in our farming is the fact that
we do not till our lands enough. One
shallow blowing in the spring, with
many balk and dodge not plowed at
all, is too often considered sufficient;
but what right has any one to expect a
good crop from such tlllage2 II 1t is
obtained, it is the result of accident.
Yes, gentlemen, such of you as would
raise good crops from year to year, ir.
respective of drought or wet seasons,
must till your land thoroughly and deep
while your teams are vigorous and
healthy in the fall. Speed the plow
over stubble aud corn-hill, and not only
over but under them, the deeper the
better. Yes, the deeper the better, ex-
cept, perhaps, in some extraordinary
instances. Turn up the burrows as deep
and ridgy as possible this fall, and lot
them frost-slack through tho winter.
Keep everything of that can tramp in
the least il there is any clay or mari in
its composition. Let it stand in that
shape, and when spring comes I will
toll you what further TO do with it, to
be almost sure of good crop of wheat,
oats, corn, or anything else that will
grow in this country. Plow all you
possibly can in tho fall, for the purpose
of tightening your labor in the spring,
which, at the best, is always short with
US, after the fields are dry enough to
pillow, besides the additional considera.
tion that teams are usually in the worst
possible plight to do any considerable
amount Of work. Therefore, speed the
pillow every leisure moment this fall, not
only to save time in the spring, nor
merely to pulverize the soil with frost
(Which, by the way, is an all-important
thing, but last, though not least, to
destroy the insects and vcrmin that have
gone into winter quarters. Doubtless,
late fall blowing will be found our best
protection against the increase Of all such
pests.

Married or single.

Mr.. Charles Dudley Warmers humor-
Gus presentations in Harper's Magazine of
the difficulty in continuing woman's
identity with her maiden name, after it
is merged in that of her husband, calls
attention, incidentally to real difficulty
in deciding, when woman is to be ad,
dressed by letter, as to whether she is
married or has been married. This will
be recognized as having often occasioned
embarrassment, and sometimes ludicrous
and even awkward results. A charming
young lady of this city not long since,
who had hardly reached her teens, found
a letter in the post-officc directed to her
with the address of B. Hobart, Esq. 1--WE
do not, of course, give the real surname).
The greatest difficulty in the matter is
that single women are often offended in
having it supposed that they are married,
and married women are in worse state
of mind, if possible, at the suggestion
that they are in state of single blessed
ness. The Springfield Republican sug-
gests that it is allowable and proper for
every woman, in addressing stranger,
to sign herself with her proper title in
parenthesis before the name. 1t holds,
indeed, that to omit it, in fact, is hardly
proper. Time will be required to cdu-
cate women to the point of realizing
this, but it will be an aid to others and
may save themselves some modification
if they take this course. Boston Herald.

There have been rumors to the effect tina,
former employee of the government print

against Mr.. James W. White, the foreman
of the bindery. The charges it was
stated, were in substance that Mr..
White had executed private work for
Mr.. Rounds the ex-public printer, and a
number of congressman, to the amount of
$4,000 yearly. Public Printer Benedict
acknowledged that such charges had been
preferred by Mr. Scott under the oath, but
said that he had hardly had time to glance
over them. He was unable, he said, to speak
as 10 the exact nature of the charges.

the relations of convict labor to free labor
and every peni, entiary, Jail and workhouse
in the United States, where the inmates are
employed in industrial pursuits, has been
visited by the agents of the bureau. Their
reports will be carefully tabulated, and TAX
ing these tables as basis, it is believed that
the extent to which the independent laborer
or mechanic is affected by the prison work
ers, can be shown with sufficient
exactness to serve as a guide
for future Legislation on the subject.
The report will also include statistics touch
ing labor strikes in this country. The in
quiries of the bureau on this subject cover a
period of time ranging from January, 1881,
down to July of the present year, and it is
believed that information has been collected,
touching every STRIKE of consequence that
has occurred in the United States within tina :
