Bishops ir Macedonia and for the appointment
Of Bulgarian commercial agents AT Cskub and
Monastir. The Bulgarian representative here.
D. MarkoT had a.. audience with the Sultan on
the subject and informed hirl tha; unless the
berats were conceded by FRIDAY next Bulgaria
would begin to mobilize her army on Saturday.
The Sultan promised to grant the berats. but
asked Bulgaria to be patient until the war with
Greece was over. He also granted Bulgaria's $
request for pcrmiss on to appoin: commercial
agents at Uskub and Monastr. In spite of this.
the Bulgdrian Representative, yesterday pre-
sented an ultmatum at the Nildiz Kiosk, and
subsequently, the Russian Embassy informed the
Bulgarian representative that the moment was
inopportune for insisting upon the Sultan's
granting the berats. adding that Russia would
not support the demand II the Bulgarian Army
was modified and that the responsibility for the
consequences would fall exclusively upon Bull
garia.

San Marcos Local Optionists Are Now
Getting Dry.

A number of San Antonians spent
San Jacinto day in San Marcos. This
is a local option" town, but they say
they did not suffer for the want OF
beer. There are no public saloons in
San Marcos, but there are private CLUBS
to which only members have access.
The fees are about 81 per month n
all liquids and refreshments are dis
pensed here with no violation OF the
law. There are no profits n these
clubs. They are merely organized tor
social purposes, but they succeed IN
making expenses. 1t is understood
that many who have voted for local
option now want to join these clubs,
but they will not be admitted and now
they are sorry that they voted. 1t is
hardly believed that San Marcos viii
remain dry much longer, even If there
are no more cloud bursts.
