BULGARIA WILL INVADE.

Vienna, Feb. ct is asserted here
that Bulgaria is determined to invade
Turkey, in the event of an instruction
in Macedonia, and that the Macedonian
element in Bulgaria is so strong that
nothing can prevail against it.
Preparations for a great rising are
proceeding quite openly. Four hundred
officers in the Bulgarian army are ask
ing for a prolonged leave, which will
not be refused, in order to assist the
rising in Macedonia.
1t is reiterated that seven bands, ag-
gregating 5000 men, have already been
formed. The three largest bands are
led by Coils. Yankoff, Sarafoff and
Zontoheff, respectively. These bands
will spread throughout Macedonia I'M
der daring leaders, and it is calculated
that they will soon be reinforced
hundred fold.
The unusually mild weather now pre-
vailing in the Balkans is held to favor
an early outbreak, the only difficulty
being the lack of funds, which it is in
tended to overcome by the forcible levy
of patriotic tax on Macedonians. 1t
is further asserted that if Bulgaria is
unsuccessful she is assured of Russian
support,

WANT ADDlCKS BEATEN.
Democrats Were Ready 10 Vote
with Regular Republicans.

with Regular Republicans.
Dover, Del, Feb. 9.-Another day has
passed and the senatorial situation is
apparently no nearer solution than
it was when the Legislature met, but
the day was replete with interesting
incidents and rumors.
The first thing sprung to-day was the
Democratic ultimatum. Then came the
Democratic caucus, which was partici-
pated in by all the Democratic MEM
bers, and later the regular Republic
can caucus, which was attended by all
of the ten members OF that faction.
The Democratic utimatum was a
proposition to be submitted to the reg
ular Republicans in which the former
agreed to support Congressman L..
Hesiler Ball for the long term senator
ship, and eventually to support some
other equally staunch regular Republic
can for the short term. But for some
unaccountable reason the ultimatum
failed of its purpose.
The regulars" held a. caucus late in
| the day, at which 1t was decided 10
notify the Union Republicans that In
case the regulars reached an agreement
of any kind with the Democrats. they
would proceed with their proposition
without a moments notice to the Union
Republicans. 1t was further decided
not to enter caucus with the Addicks
men on the Addicks withdrawal prop
osition, which would virtually give
Addicks the power to name two United
States senators, and lastly the regulars
decided to continue voting for BAH and
Dupont
1t is an open question whether the
Democratic leaders can turn enough
votes over to the regulars to elect Ball.
or any other man that should be Sc
looted.
A leading Democrat said to-day in
summing up the situation: THE Dem
ocrats were sent here with Instructions
to elect two Democratic senator's.
Nothing was said about coalition with
either the regular or Union Republic
cans, and If 1t is decided TO choose two
Republicans there is nothing to pre-
vent the Democrats from voting for
any Republican they may see fit"
This statement Is significant coming,
as IL does at time when fears are be-
ing expressed that Addicks' emissaries
are at work in the Democratic ranks.
II by any means the Union (Addicks)
Republicans should be able to elect
two United States senators, which at
present seems doubtful, 1t is admitted
by all that Gov. Hum would be one
of the senators chosen.
Should the second senator selected
resign his seat to enable Addlcks to be
appointed, the Union Republican lead
er would still fail to attain the much
coveted goal, as Lieutenant Gov. p. l..
Cannon, who would have the appoint
i've power said to-day, "If such a con-
tingency should arise l would not APP
point Mr.. Addicks, but / would select
a man acceptable to all the people of
Delaware"

BLOOD DRAWN
FROM NEGROES.
Use of whipping Post mt FRyette
Causes n Rnce War.


Fayette, Mo, Feb. "a race war has
been started here. as the result of the
public whipping of three negroes on
the court house steps Friday night.
A committee of the Law and Order
League took three negroes from their
homes and whipped them publicly for
misconduct. Two of them were wom-
en-. Since then the negroes and white
people have been in open enmity. and
II is said twenty-five negro families
have been frightened into leaving
this vicinity.
The recent killing of Harry O'Don-
nell, a reputable citizen, was charged
to negroes. and did much to stir up
ennity. The whites have threatened
TO drive the negroes from Fayette and
vicinity.
The one negro man who was
whipped Friday night made a des-
perate resistance. 1t took several
men to carry him to the whipping
post. He cursed his captors as the
lash was applied which resulted in
the whip being welded only the more
vigorously.
When the ordeal was ended the ne
gro was so weak from loss of blood
that he was put to bed instead of be-
ing driven from town, The women,
who were not whipped severely, were
taken to the outskirts and told to go.
There is much excitement here and

Pieces to Cover Murder.
Johnstown Pa, Feb. "a dastardly
attempt to hide robbery and murder
resulted in the wrecking. by dynamite,
of an Italian boarding house at Port

The scene of the affair was an Ital-

his wife, three daughters and twenty
five boarders.
When the explosion occurred the in

wife were found buried beneath the
ruins of the building, which was COM

The boarders are all employed about

the explosive was known to be in the
house, yet persons familiar with its use
say that at least twenty-five pounds
must have been put off under the room

1t was stated that Grillo had be-

SHOOTS TROUBLES BEGIN.
NoIuminous Protest Against His
Being seated Filed with senate.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator Bur
rows, chairman of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. has received
a protest against the seating OF Reed
Smoot. as senator from Utah, on
the ground that he is an apostle of
the Mormon Church, and that as such
he should not represent the people of
Utah in the Senate.
The document is very voluminous
and quotes literally from the sermons,
speeches and other Mormon utterances,
showing the power of the priesthood of
the Mormon Church over all matters,
spiritual and temporal.
Senator Frye, as president pro tenn
Of the Senate, received a copy of the
protest. 1t was decided by Senator's
Burrows and Frye not to present the
protest to the Senate until Mr.. Shoots
credentials are presented, when both
will be referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections.
The protest Is signed by a number OF
leading residents of Utah, including
clergymen, business men and federal
officials. Among the signers is Bishop
Leonard of the Episcopal Church, and
Mayor Thompson of Salt Lake City.
Both Republicans and Democrats are
represented by the signers.

WHY BOWEN HOLDS BACK.
Objectionable Features of Protocols
of Germany and Italy.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Although Mr..
Bowen, and the other negotiators, are
closely guarding the provisions of the
several protocols, it is understood to-
night that the demands which are
known to exist in the German and
Italian agreements, as they are at
present drafted which Mr.. Bowen can
not agree to concern an increased, pay
ment by Venezuela, prior to the hand
ing down of The Hague's decision, re-
garding the allies contention for pref
erential consideration in the settle
ment of their claims.
1t is reported that Germany asks
that she receive, in addition to the
$27 500 cash that Mr.. Bowen has agreed
to pay, a percentage of the customs
receipts, until the remainder of the
$340 900 demanded in the original ulti-
matum, addressed by Germany to
President Castro last autumn, is said
Italy, it is believed, is insisting on
a similar demand, though the amount
asked for in her ultimatum was over
100000.
1t is the principle, however, to
which Mr.. Bowen so strenuously OBJ
jects, and which he has informed the
German and italian ENJOYS he cannot
subscribe to. Until their protocols are
renewed OF JneSe ODJeclOHdDle ue-
mands, Mr. Bowen says that they must
remain unsigned. He contends that
Germany and Italy are insisting on
preferential treatment, a question
which they agree in their protocols
shall go to The Hague.
1t is the firm opinion of both the
italian ambassador and the German
minister that the insertion in their
protocols of these demands is the re-
suit of a serious misunderstanding on
the part of their foreign offices, of GER
tain phases of the negotiations which
were supposed to be settled. They are
using every effort to have this misun-
derstanding cleared up and have in
formed Mr.. Bowen they hope to sub
init their conventions to him in a few
days.
Published reports that Germany in
cluded in her protocol a demand for an
apology from President Castro, or his
resignation, are news to Mr.. Bowen
and, of course, would not be consider

Caracas, Feb. "A force of 1000
men, with fifty horses and two guns,
under the command of Minister of War
Gen. Ferrer, left Caracas this morning
in the direction of the seaport Hig-

The object of the expedition is to at

to be too feeble to attack the govern

the district around Rio Chico, province
of Miranda, sixty miles southeast of

the town.
Even ardent revolutionists seem to
recognize that President Castro is
master of the situation.
The governmental troops captured
