Massacre Feared.
The whole Bulgarian government
takes decidedly pessimistic view Of
the situation, and the officers openly
! express their fears that a general mas
sacre of the Christians in Macedonia
is inevitable, possibly within four days,
and almost certainly within a fort
night. Meanwhile, the government
continues to maintain its peaceful at
titude, but it believes that a sudden
development of affairs across the Dor

thorlues powerless to prevent war
The reports from Bulgarian official

Not Her Only Loss.

The widow Simonds had appeared be-
fore Squire Benson with one complaint
after another. This time she accused
one of her neighbors Of stealing two
ducks.
Il missed them from the duck pond

this morning. square, I'm jest as sure
as I'm standing here that | saw them
in Harriet Shaws yard. They had Il
different look from her own ducks"
80, nonsense said the squire. Mrs.
Shaw is as honest as the sun, and you
know it! Why, I've got half dozen
ducks In my yard this minute that are
exactly like yours!'
''Weli, square," said the widow
lugubriously, ''these two aren't the

summer, but you know | never was one

der, awe, perhaps fright. not one Of us
had spoken word.
In twenty minutes the Sixty-foOt
channel of the main stream was dug
four feet below the mouth of trib,
utary, which, oozing in silent, molasses-
like surges, dropped in a mud-fall into
the river.
We watched for half an hour, by
which time the stream had decreased a
third, and the erosion Of it's banks was
nearly ended. Already, however, the
catastrophe had dredged the channel
to depth of ten feet and had carried
off this vast load into the sea- And
when in the gathering darkness we
reached the coalesced mouths OF the
two riveks. the Seche and the Blan che,
the hot ash-beds there, lying over the
dead of the Guerin Sugar Works, were
sending out such heavy volumes OF
steam that our sloop had left her moor
ing and was standing well offshore.
