TURKISH QUESTION STILL UNSETTLED Less Hopeful Feeling Prevails
 in 6uigsria MANY ATTEND MEETINGS In Revolutionary Circles War Is Be- lieved to Be Imminent Unless Fur
 key Stops Mastering
 Christians.
MANY ATTEND MEETINGS

Sofia. Bulgaria, September 23.-A less hopeful feeling prevails today in govern ment circles regarding the general situ- ation although no actual change is re- ported. The events of the next two days are awaited with great anxiety and popu- lar feeling Is more excited A largely at tended meeting of Macedonian sympath- izers at Rustchuk. Bulgaria. September ?, adopted resolutions appealing to the Bull garian government to declare war on Turkey immediately.
 In revolutionary circles war is believed to be imminent unless Turkey stops mas sacreing the Christians Dr. Tatartchef, president of the Macedonian organiza- tion' has informed the Associated Press correspondent that the insurgent com mittee attach no importance to the re- ported negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria, because similar proposals were discussed in 1897, and later in 1899 and in 1900. The Porte, added Dr. Tatartchef, en- tered into the conference only in or der to gain time to finish the extermina- tion of what it regards as the dangerous elements in Macedonia.
 While the sultan's government is dis cusslng proposals for reform in Mace donia the troops continue to massacre the Christians and to devastate the coun- try. Referring to the details of the pro- posed arrangement, Dr. Tatartchef said there was no guarantee, even if the com mission were appointed that 1t would ever be more than ornamental The pres- ent village commission In Macedonia have Bulgarian members, but they are always favorable to the Turks. The president of the Macedonian organization concluded by declaring that the insurgents would be satisfied with nothing but intervention by the powers.
 special significance attaches to the Macedonian meeting at Rustchuk, because the resolutions are the first open express slon Of such an emphatic character In Favor of war coming from any popular meeting in Bulgaria. Rustchuk is the chief commercial town in the country.
 Fighting is reported to have taken place near kotchani, on the frontier in which the Turks lost fifty men killed and the insurgents ten. A number of reports of other minor encounters and more atroci- ties by the Turks continue to come in.

CHRISTMAS.
Golfers Weekly:

Golfers Weekly:
Though Christmas comes each year
it means too much ever to be stale.
In religion. it celebrates the best part
of the Christian faith, new Joy that
came into the world. As holiday,
it is the season of expansion, gener-
osity leading others lives. Cold reas-
ON would say that the best time for
making gifts was when necessity
called. opportunity invited, or i'm
pulse urged, but Christmas throws
reason to the winds and opens the
arms of faith and profusion once each
year. The shops are loaded with
grotesque and useless toys,-unless,
save to give little human beings JOY.
Many poor soul pinches for the sake
of donating some guerdon of its love,
and is perhaps the better for the sac
rifice. Wear this for me, mo
words mean more, and of all gifts, as
the American genius said, the best is
a portion of thyseli. Therefore, the
poet brings his poem; the shepard,
his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner,
a gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the
painter, his picture; the girl, hank
kerchief of her own painting" Alas
for us, who can give only what We
buy; and yet even that carries our
emotion, for it is chosen lovingly.
Certainly the principle of the widows
mite holds true in Christmas giving
Us in charity, for all depends upon
what it means to the giver. Who has
not been moved by receiving the trib-
ute of a child.-a bit Of paper, tooth
or curl,-cOmic or pathetic, in a
way that he 5ould be touched by no
carelessly choosing Croesus? So no
wagonload of city roses can carry the
perfume of the heart as it is borne by
the blossOmes which the giver's hand
has culled or his slender purse has
shrunk to buy. Christmas, the seas
on of giving and rejoicing helps us all
to part of the spirit after which the
day is named; the child with his Joy,
the rest of us with charity and the
love of man. How few are hundred
Christmases in one life!
