Bulgaria Has Given Dickinson a
Free Hand.
Bandits Can Come and Go as
They Please.

New York, Nov. 14.-PetkS Karva1eoff,
the prime minister of Bulgaria, has just
been interviewed by the Sofia correspon-
dent of the Journal and Advertiser. Said
the prime minister:
For humanitarian reasons the min
lister of the interior has undertaken to
tolerate fresh intercourse between the
brigands and an American agent 1t is
q bad precedent to recognize the bril-
gands, however Indirectly, but we wish
to stretch a point for America and the
cause of humanity.
1.-The brigands, wherever they are, can
now treat unmolested with the Ameri-
can republic and safe conduct will be
given to any man or men recommended
by Mr.. Dickinson.
There is no brigandage in Bulgaria
Turkey is the cause of the brigandage,
pillage, murder and massacre in Mace
donia. Conditions there are intolerable.
Europe has been moving in a vicious
circle regarding Macedonia since the
Berlin treaty; all the powers agree that
Macedonia should have autonomy but
none is willing to move in the matter.
Count Andrassy, of Austria, was more
to blame than Lord Beaconsfield at the
Berlin conference for the present con-
dition of Macedonia, which is crying to
heaven for vengeance
France patches up her quarrel with
l. .,
and fraternity for Macedonia; Germany
is satisfied with getting all material
advantages possible out of Turkey. The
MacedonianS themselves may break the
vicious circle and break Turkeys cruel
boast We took you by the sword; by
the sword we shall hold you All we
ask for Macedonia is autonomy. We do
not seek annexation.
If the American people knew the
kind of bellish barbarities perpetrated
by Turkey in Macedonia the voice Of
the most the chivalrous and unsedfish
war of modern times would awaken the
cabinets of Europe to a sense of their
duty regarding Macedonia
In conclusion the premier said that
he wished the United States would es-
tablish consulates at Sofia, Vienna and
Philippopolis, particularly as Bulgaria
is entirely agricultural and needs

NJ. Stone and Nine. Tsilka, the captives
of the brigands are now said to be oc-
cupying a hut of village in southern
Bulgaria to which they are closely con-
fined. There is reason to believe that a
conference of the secret committee held
at DumitZ favored a reduction of the
ransom demanded and that as soon as
it comes within the range of the funds
at the disposal of Consul General Dick
inson he is ready to seal the proposal
Photographs of ex-President Saratoff,

Quence of the belief that he is now

TRYING TO TURN LOOSE.
England Is Endeavoring to Dispose OF
Mosquito Indians.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE statement
in a Managua dispatch credited to Mr.
Paget, the British secretary of legation
there, to the effect that the United
States has approved the claim of Great
Britain to be recognized as a protector
of the Mosquito Indians has attracted
the attention of the diplomatic body
here. An inquiry indicates that there is
danger of a complete misunderstanding
of the matter The British government
is endeavoring to negotiate a treaty with
Nicaragua which will enable the British
to retire from all claim Of jurisdiction
on the Mosquito coast, leaving Mica
ragua in full sovereignty there with due
guarantees for the proper treatment of
the Indians hitherto under British pro-
lection. The British government has
taken action in the matter but it is
of course to the interest of this country
that some such absolute recognition of
the sovereignty of Nicaragua should be
out of the treaty of Managua, between
of the way.
The fact Is that so far from acquiring
any new privileges on the Mosquito
coast the British government is re-
Iinquishing those it now enjoys. The
treaty of MAnagua, negotiated about
fifty years ago between Great Britain
and Nicaragua, imposed upon the Eng
ish government the duty of protecting
the Mosquito Indians. Great Britain is
trying now simply to have the Nicara-
raguan government enter into treaty
obligations to care for these Indians in
the future.

WHAT LITTLE SAW.
Says Western Portion of State Is in
Good Condition.

D. w Little, assistant state superin-
tendent of public instruction, has just
returned from a visit to his home in
Wallace county, on the extreme Kansas
frontier. He says that section of the
state is in excellent condition except
that feed is a little scarce for the
cattle, and it is exclusively a cattle
country.
''Stockmen are afraid the buffalo
grass is injured" said Mr.. Little today
They depend largely on buffalo grass
for winter feed. 1t Usually grows in the
summer months and then cures on the
ground in the fall, but this year the
drouth during the. summer kept it from
growing, and when the later rains came
it started up and had no time to cure.
Consequently it has been nipped by the
frost which Injuries it for feed.
THAT western country has developed
wonderfully within the last four years.
1t was not very long ago that you could
scarcely find a man out there who was
worth a thousand dollars above his
debts, but now lots of them are worth
ten, fifteen and twenty thousand dol
lars, and they have made it all right
there They will not do as well as
usual this year because they have no
market and will have to carry their
cattle over, but it only costs two dol
lars a year to feed a steer out there
They do not raise fat cattle, but simply
raise cattle which they sell to feeders
in the corn counties to be matured for
the market. This year there is no corn,
so they cannot sell to feeders"

ONESTATE OR TWO
Three Hundred Delegates From
the Indian Territory
And the Same Number From
Oklahoma Meet.
TO FIGHT OUT ISSUE.
Politicians Want Organization
of Separate States.
Business Interest Demand I'm
ion Of Two Territories.

Muskogee, I. T., Nov. 14.-Sing1e state
hood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will be brought to a definite issue at
United States court room here this af-
ternoon. The date for the convention
was set at Oklahoma City on October
%, and three hundred delegates from
each territory have come to fight out
the issue.
The supreme effort of the two terri
tories to secure single statehood form
of government at the next session of
congress will be made. The issue will,
it is believed, be squarely divided be-
tween the political and the commercial
interests of the territories Politicians,
as a rule, it is conceded are in favor of
separate statehood. This view, as far
as indications point before the meeting
gathers, is opposed by the business men
of the territories, who want all ave-
nues of trade and industry opened
without restriction, and who profess to
believe that this end could not be Sc
cured in making two states of the terri
tories This, it is held, is especially true
in the Indian Territory, whose unde-
velOped natural resources, they assert,
are as rich as can be found in any state
of the union.
Among the first delegates to arrive
the current of feeling seemed strongly
for single statehood for Oklahoma
without delay, the Indian Territory to
be considered later. Aside from speech
making and the adoption of resolutions
bearing on the subject, the convention
will likely provide funds to carry on a
statehood that shall finally reach con-
RreSS.
