century by the S~rvian Car Dushan.
:. The third and the only historic fact
of practical Importance is that the
Turks conquered Macedonia after de-
feating the Sersian King yukashin in
is'l. and that up TO the present day they
are masters Of tine country. To the
question to whom Macedonia belong.
historically. the only conclusive answer
could be that il belongs to the sultan,
and that after him the Greeks have the
strongest historic claim At any rate.
one thing is beyond all sioubt-the Bull
earians have NO historic claim
IL may be assumed. however, that
should there be q Greek-Servian-B Il-
Sariaa-Nonrenegrin coalition the di-
sision OF Macedonia would be agreed
uEoa before the opening of hostiIities
against Turkey, and historical claims
would not he considered in the settle
rlent- And it may be assumed with
equal assurances that neither Russia
nor Austria would consent to any di-
vision which might, in any way. inter-
fere with their commercial and political
interests Russia would undoubtedly
favor Bulgaria's claims because that
state is one of her own creations whose
complete absorption by the Muscoyite
empire Is only question of time.
While preparing this article the
writer received n letter from a foreign
gentleman in touch with European pol
tiles which stated. in effect, that in the
continental capitals reports of a general
European war found but little credence
because the Rothschilds and other
money kings are opposed to n world
conflict at the present time. Inasmuch
as all the countries which have been
talking of going to war are on the verge
OF bankruptcy. and without ready cash.
their actions must necessarily depend
more or less on the decision of the
money power which. so my correspon-
dent assures me. is arrayed solidly
against Greece and her probable allies.

We do not know enough of that

wife of Lord Beaconsfield, and any con-
tributions to our knowledge of her are
very welcome. Though the good fortune
of meeting Lady Beaconsfeld, says
a writer in Cornhill Magazine, was
mine only once I have strong remem-
brance of her. It was i'll the year she
died, but she had then, at so years old,
very evident remains of the vivacity
which Disraeli marked when he first
met her in 1882 Seen at a distance, IL
a dimly lighted room, what first struck
me about the small, dark, quick eyed
figure was the strangeness of its attire
homage, it might have been, to her
Dizzy's early tastes. What | suppose
should be called the bodice of her gown
was a sort of dark crimson or bright
elaret colored velvet tunic (but like
nothing else that have ever seen), go
ing high in the neck, and with what l
took for an order of some kind fastened
upon the left breast. This unusual dec
oration was puzzling till, on being taken
ND to her, saw that it was framed

searies Reluctantly Tells Something
About the Great Sugar Combine.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.--The legislatures
special committee on trusts began it's in
vestigation here with the American Sugar
Refining company. Theodore A. Have
meyer and Henry o. HRyemeyer were ex-
amined Both claimed that the company
did not have monopoly, but were forced
to admit that they practically controlled
the output and price of sugar in this coun-
ty. James Arbuckle was also sworn and
said he was threatened with extinction If
he did not buy sugar of the trust.
NEW YORK, Feb 9.-John f. Searles,
the secretary and treasurer of the Ameri-
can Sugar Reflneries company, appeared
before the legislative trust Investigating
committee and was examined at length.
! Before beginning the examination Chair
man Lexow soundly berated Mr.. Searles
for ignoring the subpoena which COM
nanded him to be present last Saturday
and said that that matter would receive
subsequent attention.
Mr.. Searles proved to be an extremely
evasiye witness, but some very important
testimony was elected by persistent ques
tioning.
He tacitly acknowledged that the Sugar
trust stock was watered so per cent, but
his memory was poor on little deal in
volving $500, 900.
Senator Lexow brought out the admis-
sion that the Sugar trust controls half the
stock of the Spreckels company on the Pa
cific slope, demonstrating that the trust
controls sugar in the United States
+ Treasurer Searles testimony showed
that the trust had practically wiped out
all competition and that it fixed the price
/ of the commodity to suit itself
The committee adjourned until Saturday
morning at 10 O'Clock, after having OBJ
! tanned the assurance that the trust would
| produce certain books at that time, which
the committee believe will throw addi-
i tional light upon the operations of this gi-
gantic corporation.

Pennies Not Popular.

1t is estimapd that many hundred
pennies are collected by the car con-
ductors in the course of day, and as
they cannot turn them i'll at the end of
their days work they often have trouble
in dlsposing of them. In speaking of
this cable car conductor said to re-
porter: Women are almost sure to give
us pennies, and they often search their
pocketbooks for these coins. We usually
give IL number of pennies back in change
when bill is given us, and we see that
women get their fair share. The reason
why the company viii not receive PEN
nies is because it would take too long to
count them all. New York Mail and

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. Ex-Governor Bush
nell said point plank that he would not
appoint Mr. Hanna to succeed Mr.. Sher-
man in the United States senate A CORE
spondent saw him in his office and asked
him:
''The feeling seems to prevail, doesn I
it, governor, that Mr.. Hanna can get any
thing he wants out of the senatorial fight?'
Some people seem to think so, he re-
piled, with emphasis on some.
VIII you appoint Mr.. Hanna?'
mo
The word slipped out quickly. With the
same breath the governor declared:
No. have nothing more to say about
the political situation.
This was said by way of covering his
emphatic negative. But there was no mis-
taking the emphasis that laid stress upon
his first word NO, which was slip OF
the tongue and expressed his true feelings.
Immediately afterward he walked to the
door of his office and declared the inter
view at an end.
The latest rumor in the capital has it
that Bushnell himself wants the office and
will resign, to be appointed Sherman s sue
