BULGARIA'S ANSWER TO UNIT
ED STATES NOTE.
Use OF Violence by BrIgands VIII
Be Result of PrOtractsd Nego-
tiatiOns-Answer Impudent.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-The Bulgar-
ian governments reply to United
States Diplomatic Agent Dickinson's
note has just been made public by the
Austro- Hungarian foreign ministry, at
Vienna, says the Vienna correspondent
OF the World. 1t was written by Mr..
Danetf, Bulgarias minister of foreign
affairs and concludes with the follow
ing words:
II am surprised that you have come
to the conclusion that the United states
will hold Bulgaria responsible ;Or Miss
Stones death. l must regard it as
certain that the using of violence by
the brigands can only be attributable
20 your protracted negotiations. IT
was for you to carry the negotiations
0 a successful end. The bulgarian
government declines all responsibility.
In Vienna this answer is considered
most impudent and the hope is eX-
,ressed that he United States will
old Bulgaria responsible for Miss
tones safety.

Decline of legislatures.

An address was delivered Saturday even
ing before the Columbian University SEM
inar in comparative legislation on THE
Decline OF Legislatures and the Need for
.StHdy. Of the .Rrinciples and oArtl0f L4egis-
lation.' He urged the desirability Of cx-
pert assistance to enable legislators to be-
come familiar with the provisions and
workings of existing legislation in all parts
of the world on the subjects they are con-
sidering. He referred in a complimentary
manner to the work of the industrial COM
mission, and suggested that the secretaries
of congressional committees should De ex-
perts on the subjects with which the COM
mittees deal; but in addition he advocated
the establishment at Washington of u spe-
cial bureau for research in comparative
legislation.
In the discussion which followed the sug-
gestion was made that the proposed bureau
be in connection with the Library of Con-
greSS.
