Gently and ordered the prisoners turned

Judge Seeds in court said that he could
not subscribe to the doctrine of the re-

so would overthrow free Government and
substitute a monarchy.
The court said that the question involved

He held that civil law had not been over
thrown in Teller County, and no evidence
had been presented that lawbreakers
would not be prosecuted and punished by
the civil authorities.
Judge Seeds also strongly rebuked the
presence of the troops in the courtroom
Counsel for the prisoners were not present
when the decision was rendered.
General Chase declined to obey the order
Of the court, but it is understood here that

tions the Russian and Austrian Govern
ments have reiterated their views to this
effect both at Sofia and at Constantinople,
and acting on the suggestion of Austria
and Russia, all the Governments Of the
Powers which signed the treaty OF Berlin
have instructed their representatives to
Turkey and Bulgaria to emphasize their
full unanimity in the Austro-Russian
work of pacifying the Balkans, so as to
remove all misconceptions of possible as
sistance in the event of dangerous enter
prises These representatives have been
instructed to make a declaration to the
Governments OF Turkey and Bulgaria, as
follows:
Turkish vilayets, which is due to the GRIM
inal intentions of committees and revolu-
tionary bands, does not alter the attitude
of the Powers IN regard to the programme
of action advanced early in the year
by the two Powers most interested. Con-
sequently, neither Turkey nor Bulgaria
can rely on the support of any Power in
the event of open or secret opposition to
the realization of this scheme
THE imperial Government hopes this
new warning will convince Turkey as well
as Bulgaria Of the futility of any attempt
to avoid the fulillment Of the demands
made upon them, and cause them to take
all the measures In their power for the
repression of the disturbances in the
Balkan peninsula, which can only have
the most serious consequences for both
the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria"
