Rumors of Active Preparations Be
 Ing Made in Bulgaria For War
 The Reception 10 the French Fleet
 at CrOnstadt-Emperor William to
 Revisit Norway.
 PARIS, Aug. 5.-Telegrams received ir this city from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, bring rumors that active preparations fo, war are being madeby the military author ities of that country.
 Inquiries have been made in official quar- ters here, but the rumors recei we'd no con- frmation, the officials declaring that they had no knowledge of any warlike prepara- tions being made in any of the capitals of the Balkans. The only information elicit ed was that Bulgaria recently placed 8 large order for artillery with the great German gunmakers the Krupps.
 M. Lockroy, in an interview to-day, said he had no doubt that the handsome reception of the French fleet at Cronstadt, If not the visit itself, was due to England's support of the dreibund While France temptation for the masterful and cap ricious German emperor to plunge Ger many into war. The rapprochement be- tween France and Russia removed that danger. France, however, had mainly herself to blame, her obstinacy in her policy in the Egyptian and Newfoundland questions throwing England into the arms of Germany and the dreibund. After the initial mistake she ought to have accepted the situation in Egypt and in regard to Newfoundland she ought to have modified the Utrecht treaty.

 LONDON, Aug. 5.-Parliament was pro- rogued to-day, the queens speech closing the session, after alluding to the relations existing between Great Britain and the other powers made brief reference to the treaties that have been concluded with Portugal and Italy regarding territory in Africa. Continuing, the speech said: "I have made proposals to the president of the United States, looking to the submis- sion to arbitration of the differences be- tween Great Britain and the United States in regard to seal fishing in Behring sea. The negotiations are far advanced, but have not yet been concluded. The French chambers have not as yet approved the agreement between myself and the French republic with reference to the arbitration of certain differences which have arisen concerning Newfoundland which agreement was sign ed during the present year. I am glad that you have been able to devote con- siderable sum to the mitigation of the bur ucu WulCu UuO law Ol cuuCd- tion has imposed upon the poorer portion of my people. The various measures which you have adopted in recent years to secure the observance of the law in Ireland and to improve the general condition of that country have resulted in @ marked abatement of agrarian offences and in a considerable advance in property. The steps taken to cope with the dis tress threatened in Ireland have been effectual in averting famine. You have also passed benefcent measure dealing with the permanently congested districts of Ireland which, it is hoped, will be fostering agriculture and stimulating the fishing industry contribute largely to the prevention of similar dangers in the future.

ANOTHER HEBREW OUTRAGE.
Jews fn a Russian Town Mobbed- Three Killed and others Wound

1hTee tA1llcu ahu otHCIs "
 ed.
 LONDON, Aug. 5.-Advices have been received here which give another illustra- tion of the bitter hostility against Jews in Russia. This last instance of virulent feel ing occurred at Elisabetgrad, a fortified town of 5S,0OO inhabitants, situated on the Ingool river, 130 miles north of Kher- son. Among the inhabitants of the town are a number of Jews who are engaged in the usual vacations of the people of that nationality in Russian cities.
 The intense hatred of the Jews enter tained by the peasant population recently broke out, and several thousand farm la borers, small land owners and others en- gagged in agricultural occupations in the country surrounding Elisabetgrad marched into the town and proceeded to the Jewish quarter. The terrified Jews, upon seeing the mob approaching, made frantic efforts to hide themselves from their enemies, seeking refuge in -of-the-way places of the ghetto and in every way trying to avoid coming in contact with the members of the mob. Amid cries of 'sKill the Jews" the thou sands of countrymen descended upon the covering victims. They attacked the Jew ish shops and dwellings, diving the own CTS from them or holding them powerless | to defend themselves or their property, ,an6 plundered them of everything valuable What was considered not worth stealing was wantonly destroyed.
 | Some of the braver Jews I. listed thii footing of their property, but this only made matters worse for them and three O
 them were killed. Many others wlo at
 tsmpted in their frenzy of fear to defend
 their families or property from the mol
 were set upon and severely wounded. Tn
 1ioting in the Jewish quarter continued
 for hours and although the authoritie
 were well aware of the outrages being com
 mitted they did not take step to proven
 them nor in any way interfere to protec the Jews.

THE CHOIR IEAGuR.
The Ascension Choir Boy. Heard From - The Arrival in Camp - Everybody We'll and Happy.
 CAup RAyunNn Sunpr pr.ry

CAxP RAYMOND, SHORT BEACH, Aug. 5. We have now been in camp three days, and its rural life is assuming 6 definite shape. Monday was spent in arranging the mountain of camping utensils the dray- man had piled in heterogeneous mass in the center of the grounds. Aside from the time devoted to consuming the pro visions from an amateur attempt at cook cry the day was spent in completing ar engagements. Tuesday will be especially remembered as the day on which the cook arrived, a circumstance we had waited twenty-four hours for, and the first meal gave such unqualified satisfaction that the question of having good meals during our stay narrowed itself down to one of stock on hand and available resources that could be reduced to its equivalent.
 Wednesday a grabbing party left camp at 8. m. and in three hours returned with 165 crabs
 Tuesday evening an impromptu concert was given on the cliffs, and judging from the throngs of eottagers that lined the beach and their frequent expressions of satisfaction they enjoyed it hugely.
 All are well and enjoying the outing.
