The BuIgariun Crisis.

SOFIA, Oct. ia crowd of fully 5000
persons met Gen. Kaulbars upon his arrival
at Shumla. The spokesman told him that
the people had full confidence in the gov
eminent. Afterward the crowd assembled
near a window where Gen. Kaulbars was
seated and hooted at him. Twelve ZankO-
visits, who were going to pay their respects
to the general, appealed to the officers to
disperse the crowd, but they refused to do
so. All the members of the ministry have
been elected by immense majorities. The
returns thus far received show the election
of 400 Ministerialists and 400 Zankovists.
A dispatch from Vienna saws that, at a
meeting at Rustchuk to-day. M. Stojako
read a dispatch from Prince Alexander,
declining the money voted to him by the

to accept the throne Of Bulgaria, if re-
elected.
Returns from eighty districts show that
seventy are in favor of the government.
Rustchuk gave $40 votes for the govern
ment and 80 for its opponents. The Mace

lindeff has addressed three notes to the
government and the foreign consuls. In
the first he says he will resume diplomatic
relations with the government, in accord
ance with the instructions of Gen. Kaullars,
but condemns the Bulgarian circular,
which, he says, may lead to a rupture. In
the second he says that Russia will declare
the elections illegal and invalid. and in the
third he officially protests against the at

BLIND TOM.

subject of Liti gati0n.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Judge Donohue, OF
the supreme court, has denied the applica-
ton of Mrs. Charity Virgins, the mother Of
Thomas Virgins, known as "B1nd Tom,
the wonderful pianist, to have his mental
condition inquired into by committee and
his estate cared for. Toms fathers name
was Mingo. He is dead. Both father and
mother were Georgia slaves. Tom was born
in that state in 1S49. When he was 4 years
old the whole family were sold as slaves to
James w. Bethune, with whom they re-
manned until freed by the war. Under an
agreement, Tom was placed in control of
Bethune for five years, until May 1870, when
he would be of age. This was approved OF
by S. +. Baine, superintendent of freedmen,
Bethune took Tom out of the state and put
him on exhibition as pianist. In
1876 Tom became a citizen of New
York. While on exhibition in Virginia
Tom was declared a lunatic, and Bethune's
son, John G. Bethune, was appointed guar
dian of his person. The latter acted as
Toms manager till 1884, when he died. The
elder Bethune was then appointed. In the
meantime Mrs. Virgins removed to this city.
She brought suit against Bethune for the
services of her son, and au accounting Of the
profits of the exhibitions since 1865. That
suit is pending at Alexandria, Va. The old
lady has twelve children, the oldest 60 years
old and the youngest 49, all born in slavery,
and therefore not born in lawful wedlock.
Tom has no hers. His mother is next Of
kin, unless the court decides the other chill
dren are relations. Hence the application to
Judge Donohue. Affidavits state that Tom,
though possessed OF wonderful musical abil-
ity, is an idiot. The application was denied
on the ground that proceedings should be in
stituted in the state where the guardian was
first appointed.

Schaefer and Slosson, the champion bill
iardists of the world, attracted between
four and five hundred people to the
Standard billiard hall last night, The table
was set in the basement and surrounded
With elevated seats, which gave every one
an opportunity to witness the game. The
players were not in the best of condition,
having not yet recovered from their ride
from Chicago, and their playing was loose,
Schafer showing up in the best shape.
Slosson gave evidence of being the
most careful player, while Schafer's
playing was dashing and brilliant, some Of
his Shots being extremely fine. The even
ing sport opened with fOurteen-inch balk
line game, 800 points, between Slosson and
Frank Parker, eX-champiOn billiardist of
the world. Parker stood no show with

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE house of deputies
Of the Protestant Episcopal church resumed
its sitting this morning. Rev. Br. Jencks, Of
Indiana, presented a menu rial to the memory
of the late Vice President Thomas A. Hen
bricks, and supplemented the presentation
of the memorial with brief eulogy of the
life of the deceased and his labors in the
Episcopal church. Memorials in reference
to the proposed changes in the prayer book
were presented and referred. The president
called the attention OF the house to the fact
that that it had failed to act upon
the suggestion of the house of bishops
that the committees of both houses
should meet in joint session whenever the
chairman of the committee deemed it expedi-
ent for the facilitation of business. After a
lengthy discussion and before any vote could
be taken the house of deputies adjourned ana
resolved itself into board of MISSIONS hav-
ing been Joined by the house of bishops.

and explained that he was present as the
special representation of the Anglican church
in Canada, as coming from the diocese where
100 years ago was established the first colonial
church in Canada. He spoke Of the growth
of the church in Canada, and dwelt at some
length upon the early history of the church in

journed until p. M.
Bishop Doane. of Albany, opened the after
noon session of the board with an address on
the WORK the Woman's Auxiliary. A large

of the women of the church through this
efficient organization. The auxiliaries' total
gifts lat year amounted to 1924, 900. The

THE pOSTOFFECE ROBBERY.
Arrest of the Wan who is Alleged to
Have ..Turned the Trick,

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-THE Minneapolis post
office robbery has at last been thoroughly
cleared up The prime mover, principal
character. planner and executor of the rob-
berry is in the tolls, having been arrested by
Detectives Marks and Granger on West
Washington street. His name is Bobby"
Adams. Although young man, he is known
all over the United States and England as
one of the most adroit burglars and
safe-biowers with whom the officials have had
to deal in ten years. He 1t was who first con-
ceived the plot TO rob the Minneapolis post
office. Before doing this, however, he is said
to have come to Chicago and arranged with
T. j. Finnucane to handle and negotiate the
stamps. David Shannahan, in the South
Town assessors office, and Mr.. Nages
were also said TO be implicated in the scheme.
After the recovery of the stamps they were
arrested, but subsequently released on their
own recognizsnce. Finnucane is still in Jail.
These three men have been so assiduously
pumped by tho officer on the case that
.soUEAL' WAS MADE.
and .'Bobby' Adams was the person crimi-
mated He will be turned over to the United
States secret service officers to-day. Six
years ago Adams. AT that time 19 years Of age,
was shot and dangerously wounded while
committing burglary at AlleI hany City. he
escaped for time but was afterward caught
and given four years In the Pennsylvania
penitentiary. After getting out he did
some clever work in New York city, and
came to Chicago, where he lived luxuriously
for five months. He then turned several
tricks here and was arrested. The case was
u hard one to prove, and he got off with a
light sentence. He then went East and to
England returning comfortably fixed as to
wealth. His fast life, however, soon squan-
dered his stealings and again he took to the
field. Nothing was then heard of him until
the $4,000 stamp robbery in Minneapolis,
and now that his pal has ''peached'' on him
he will probably own up to the whole affair.
He is said by the detectives to have the finest
set of burglars tools ever made. Adams
was taken before Commissioner Hoyne this
morning, and held in $4,000 bail for hearing

favor Ames, and judging from the remarks

the machine ticket will lose about the entire

Republicans are outspoken in their indorse-
ment of Ames and Mac Donald. a campaign
committee was appointed for the Democratic
and alliance ticket, all active, energetic men.
The chairman is Joe jain, and secretary, @.

are apparently hopeful, but their looks would
indicate they are in measure doubtful.
