garin Has Shown Moderation.
London, Sept. 14.--Rumor from VI
emma and elsewhere is very busy this
morning regarding the Balkan crisis,
and whilst it is impossible to confirm
the more sensational statements, there
is accumulation of evidence that some
violent solution cannot long be de-
layed.
The Sofia correspondent of the Daily
! telegraph sends under Sundays date,
| another long dispatch warmly defend
ing Bulgarias patient and "Quixisotic
attitude of loyalty towards the Porte
and the Powers" and denouncing Eu-
ropes indifference to the wiping out
of large Christian community. He
says:
Bulgaria has displayed unexampled
moderation. Her last urgent request
to the Powers was that they should
compel Turkey to suppress the upr1s-
Ing by legitimate methods of warefare
but to spare women and children from
indignities and massacres.
But even this Christian Europe has
refused and now Prince Ferdinand's
government having carefully consider
Ell the question. and aware of the dis
astrous consequences with which the
Powers threaten Bulgaria if she inter-
Venes, has decided that il cannot long
er neglect its sacred duty to nrevant
the Christian population being done
TO death. In couple of days more
the die will be cast and Bulgaria will
DO her duty. An official communication
Will be made to the Powers in the
above indicated sense, and forthwith
the necessary measures will be taken
and only countermanded if the Powers
immediately intervene. This is BuI-
garias last word. The moral resnou-
sibility will fall upon Christian Eu-
rope even II the material consequences
have to be endured by Bulgaria"
dispatch from Constantinople to the
Standard says large forces are being
collected TO the north and northwest of
Constantinople, where in the event of

during years has not left Turkey I'M
prepared this time.
From Vienna comes the semi-oficia1
statement that Austria has again nro-
posed to the Powers to adnonish RuI-
sarla, but that so far nothing has come
OF the proposal. The Neus Poster Jour
nal, OFTEN we'll informed. accuses Rus
sla OF openly assisting the Macedonian
revolutions, even sending arms her
OBJECT being gradually to exclude Aus
IRA from influence in Balkan affairs.
me correspondent of the Times az
soma, says: 1T would be very mad
Visable for the powers to address al :.
monitions to Bulgaria at the present
moment because 1t would strengthen
on the eve Of the elections. the hands
or the opposition party which is trv-
ing to foment a bellicose agitation in
order to overthrow the present govern
ment. The intiction of a needless hu
initiation upon the government which
has endeavored to convince the nation
of the folly of an adventurous policy
would be merely playing into the hands
of the war party"
