BULGARIA IS TO AVOID WAR
RECENT COUNCIL OF MINISTERS
At SOFIA MAKE DECISION.
viii Remain Strictly Neutral In Mace.
donia uestion-Tukrey Will Have
to Declare War First-Kinudom Pre-.
pared to Declare Martial Law, II
Necessary, on the Frontier.

Sofia, Sept. S.-According to reliable
reports from Varna. at the recent
council Of ministers, presided over By
Prince Ferdinand at the palace Of
Euxinograd, it was resolved that Bull
garia should continue to maintain an
attitude OF the strictest neutrality in
the Macedonian question, and further
that the most stringent measures
should be adopted to prevent anything
like a disturbance in Bulgaria's rela-
tons with Turkey. The war minister
is reported to have spoken strongly in
the council against any thought of Bull
garia declaring war on Turkey; first,
on account of the enormous expendi-
ture that such a war would involve,
and, secondly, because the great pow
ers would never permit Bulgaria to
reap the advantage If she were victori-
GUS. Should Turkey attack Bulgaria,
declared the minister the present
army could hold the Turks in check
for the first few days, while the entire
Bulgarian army could be mobolized
within three to ~ days. Bulgaria
would never declare war, he added,
but If war was declared against her
she would, accept the challenge fear
lessly.
AS an evidence of Bulgaria's peace.

upon the first SYMPTOMS of disorder on

pressed the opinion that the powers

the Macedonian question could not be

TRADE REPORT.

Bradsetreet's report on trade says:
Crop developments have been most
favorable, fall jobbing trade reports
indicate further improvement and
monetary conditions show less ten
sion. The tone Of general business is
conservative and the tendency is to
eliminate anything in the nature of
speculation or over extension from bus
mess. The manufacturing industry
shows continued activity except in
such as cotton and silk production,
which note the influence of special
conditions, and some lines of iron and
steel. Evidence Of an approaching
slackening in the output of anthracite
coal Is to be seen. Some improvement
is noted in the car scarcity trouble
md gross earnings of railroads con-
tinue large, but increased cost of op-
erations and heavy improvement limit
net receipts. Failures show only the
'"l midsummer volume as far as
number is concerned, but average sus.
pensions foot up larger total of liza
bilities, particularly Of small financial
institutions and manufacturers. Col.
lections are still rather backward,
though some improvement is noted
where backward crops have been re.
allied upon.
Wool is firm, on demand sufficient
to cover sales of goods. Lumber is act.
i've and firm at the West, but rather
slow and draggy at the East, where
labor conditions are not altogether
settled.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week aggregate 3,131, 239 bushels.
Business failures in the United
States for the week are 1853.

Consumption is a human

The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying

Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is coDsump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
