BATTLE IN THE BALKANS.
Bulgarian Bands Try Conclusions
With Troops.


A dispatch to the Berlin Anzieger
from Constantinople announces that
the Bulgarian bands and the Turkish
troops in Okhreida have fought bat
tie, and that 900 men were killed or
wounded Official advices received in
Constantinople from Monastir says
the Bulgarian inhabitants of thirty vii
lagos in the Okhreida district, total
ing 5000 men, and supported by the
bishop and a number of revolutionary
bands, have risen against the Turks.
They surrounded a small detachment
of Turkish troops in the mountains
northward of Okhreida, but the troops
succeeded in cutting their way out,
after sustaining considerable loss. An
other dynamite outrage at the town
of Mustapha Pacha has led to the dis
covery that the revolutionary commit
tee is supposed to be responsible for
the attempt to wreck the Oriental ex-
press early in the morning of March
81, when the bridge Of the Turkish
Oriental railroad between Adrianople
and Mustapha Pacha was blown up by
an Internal machine. Although affairs
al Mitroyitza and Prisptina are re-
portd to be calmer, the rising of the
Albanians in those districts creates
intense concern at the palace, and
among the ministers and at the en-
bassy.

honorable Richard OIey as Democratic Presidential Posi-

of the Venezuelan boundary question
1t is said that even before the demise
of Judge Gresham Mr.. Cleveland was
casting about for a strong man to take
the helm in case of need. and this man
he certainly found in Mr.. Olney. As at
torney general Mr.. Olney had frequently
been in consultation with Judge Ores
ham over the Venezuela dispute and
was thoroughly informed as to its sta
tus when he succeeded the latter as sec
rotary of state Not only had they
studied it in the abstract. but also it's
bearings upon the Monroe doctrine in
its widest application, foreseeing that
the latter might be involved or called in
question during the progress of the dis
cussion. Thus it was that when he
came to this affair of interna tional i'm
portance early in his incumbency of the
office of secretary of state he was prob
ably better equipped for considering it
than any other public man in the coun-
try He brought to bear upon it. in
fact. the same concentration of effort,
fidelity and intensity of purpose that
characterized his work as a lawyer. by
which he rose to supremacy in the legal
profession and acquired the fortune
which he is enjoying today.
Personally speaking, Mr.. OIney Is tail.
weighing about 200 pounds. muscular
and well set up. He believes in and
practices outdoor exercise of every sort
and by these means has preserved him
self in health and strength. Though he
has not at first glance a winning per-
sonality, being reserved to the point Of
brusqueness, yet he is companionable
among friends and is always to be re-
lied upon in any emergency. After
leaving public Office he resumed the
practice of law in Boston, in which cits,
he has a beautiful residence on Com
monwealth avenue.
