 Old sea captains say there is no wa ter course i'll the world where il unfa. vorablo weather such skill is required as to guide ship via the channels on q voyage from the sound and return, the ro'.nd trip to Sitka being more than half tho distance of the voyage across the Atlantic.

Bulgaria has only obtained this by means of sacrificing number of de mands which Austria bad formerly con. sented to concede, but which she now refuses to grant. Inasmuch, however, as most other countries had declined to ratify their new treaties of commerce with Bulgaria until that with Austria had been arranged, there was practical ly no other course open to Prince Ferdi- uand.

These include tim bor and agricultural machines, which pay per cent; glassware, 12 per ceGt, and sugar. I8 per cent.
