THEY WANT PEACE.
Austria and Russia Declare They Are
Working to That End.

Vienna Oct. AS an outcome of the
conferences between the Car and Emper-
or Francis Joseph at MuerZsteg. the gov
ernments of Austria and Russia have sent
sh.- f"jinwing identical telegram to the
2u,i ls..adors of those countries in Cen
7t.nulfuople:
"fnl, were recently instructed to declare
II q Austria Hungary and Russia adhere
&" Inc task of pacification which they have
undertaken and are resolved to persevere
with the program drawn up at the begin
ming of the year notwithstanding the diff
ficulties hitherto opposed to its execution.
For. indeed, while on the one hand the
revolutionary committees have provoked
disturbance and deferred the Christian
population of the three vilayets from Co
operating in the execution of the reforms.
on the other hand the representatives of
the Sublime Porte entrusted with their
application have been generally wanting
in the necessary zeal and have not been
imbued with the idea which inspired these
measures.
Both powers are united in the deter
mination to show that it iStheir firm re-
solve to insist on the execution in their
entirety of those reforms which were ac
cepted by the Porte and which cal
culated tosguarantee general security. IE
this connection you will receive detailed
instructions without delay.
while both powers recognized to the
full the Porte'S right or due to suppress
the disorders toSterod by the inSurrec-
tonary agitation of the Macedonian COM
mittee. they at the same time ieplore the
fact that this suppression was accompan-
led by excuses and crueltieS from which
the peaceful inhabitants suffered. 1t
therefore, appears to them to be their ur-
gent duty to come to the assistance of the
victims of these regrettahle occurrentS
and the above mentioned instructions will
acquaint YOU with the details of the hui
mantarian action which they deem neceS-
Sary with the object of supporting the in
habitants who have been deprived of all
means of existence facilitating their re-
patriation and restoring the villages
churches and schools destroyed by fire.
The Austro- Hungarian and Russian
governments entertain the firm hope that
their combined endeavors to establish a
lasting peace in the sorely tried provinces
will attain their object and they are CON
WINGED that their impartial advice will be
needed by all to whom it is addressed in
their own interests.
by order of His Majesty, my august
master l request you to communicate the
foregoing to the ottoman government
after you have arrived at an understand

and a good-sized party was organized to
rescue the guests of the evening from the
tender merces of their hosts.
The victims and their escorts were dis
covered advancing up Front street just as
the rescue party left the campus A
charge was ordered and the opposing
forces came together with q crash just

SUNDAYS Fires.

There were two small fires, Sunday.
the first alarm coming from box as. at
lis in the morning, and the second
from box 35 at about the same hour in
the afternoon. Neither of them did
much damage. The first was in the
house of Mrs. Almeda Flood, No. 10
Maple street, and was caused by a de-
fective chimney. The fire was confined
to the partitions in the kitchen and
while a good deal of cutting was neces-
sary to get at it, the firemen found ex.
tinguishers sufficient. Two lines of
hose were laid, but not wet. Some wa
ter was used by the occupants of the
house before the department arrived
The damage will probably be in the
neighborhood Of $50 and is covered bv
insurance in the Boothby agency.
The second fire was even smaller
than the first and was in the tenement

WAR BEGINS.
Bulgarian and Turkish Troops
at Last Meet.
Reports Differ, but Turks Seem te
Have Been the Aggressors.
Austria and Russia Assert That They
Want Peace.

Sofia. Oct 4.-News has been re-
ceived here from the frontier of fight
ing between Turkish and Bulgarian
troops at Demir KAPPA, both sides sus-
tanning losses.
In official quarters all knowledge of
the affair is denied, but the circum-
stantial details given seem to indicate
that there is some foundation for the
accounts of the conflict. According to
one report the Turks attacked the Bull
garian frontier post. Another version
says the Turks pursued a number of
refugees across the frontier.
1t is asserted that the Turks have
frequently attempted to provoke hostil-
tiles, firingsin Bulgarian territory and
crossing the frontier to steal horses
and sheep. The war office here is work
ing at high pressure and 1900 recruits
will be called out three before the usual
time. Prince Ferdinand has sane
toned numerous other measures OF a
warlike nature. All the cavalry, with
the exception of a single regiment
which is stationed at Sofia, will be
sent into the frontier districts where
there are also strong forces of artillery.
Vigorous efforts are being made to
prevent bands from crossing into Turk
is territory. Two bands which were sent
back have reached Sofia since. yester-
day. Dispatches from the frontier re-
ceived at the revolutionary eadquar-
ters report that the refugees in the
mountains are in a terrible condition
through their pursuit by the Turks and
cold and hunger Many are dying.
Measures are being taken here, tt
receive the worst easses of suffering
among the fugitives from the frontier
districts. Madame Baheloteff. wife O
ne Russian agent here, is taking {
comment part in this charitable work
From insurgent sources it is reported
that the Bulgarian villages of Obidet
and Kromon ave been pillaged ant
burned. Many of their inhabitant
We're slaughtered. The Bulgarian qual
ter of Belitza is in flames Seven hun
dred refugees from Belitza are report
ed to have been killed in Turkish am

WAR EXPERT AIDING TURKEY?
Massng of Troops Laid to a Western
Strategist.

London. October 4.-Advices from
| Monastir, of yesterdays date are to
| the effect that Turkey has now massed
| Il great force without friction or dis
play. She has now modified 100000
| troops, not including the Constantine
| pie garrison. More than half of. these
| are in the Province of Salonica. The
| army which will attack in case of war
| is at Adrianople. This consists Of TO-
| 600 men, with a large force of artillery.
| The force in Salonica constitutes a
huge reserve.
This formation is regarded AS the
outcome of the work of a Western
| strategist. All men have been called
| out even the third class, who are most
| ly old men. Discipline and arms are
both defective among the redifs, yet
Turkeys position is vastly stronger in
the field than at the beginning of the
Greek war. The Bulgarians have their
chief base near Philippopols, where
Nicola Ivanof has $4,000 men.
There are unconfirmed rumors of the
delivery Of an ultimatum to the Porte
by bulgaria. The latter alleges that
she could completely mobilize in six
days and concentrate the ElObliZed
forces in eight hours. The BulgarianS
believe that hte Turkish plan would be
to dash with Il mounted column from
Mustapha Pasha in the direction of
Jamboli, and attempt to seize the
Shipka and Hahn passes
A message from the Bulgarans'
divisional base at Trnova says that
the sappers and miners are preparing
for war. A worse feeling has followed
the examination of the mixed TurcO-
Bulgarian Commission that is entrust-
ed with the execution of the Mace
DOMAIN reforms.
The Bulgarian representative, Nikola
Roheff, is SO years old. For many

Pasha none of the other>members of
the commission is a man of standing
or influence in Macedonia, and it is be-
lievcd that they can only be sub
servient tools of the Constantinople

The Constantinople correspondent of
the Paris Temps makes the deliberate
charge against the Powers generally
and Russia and Austria particularly
that they are not DESTROYS of a peace

says that Russia and Austria werel

YOU WILL BE ALL SMILES AGAIN

Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO IT.

II there is ore thing more than all
otherS that Will give man Il forlorn
ana 1r1endless appearance and make
nm morbid and cranky" and disagree
able. that thing is dyspepsia. 1t
makes one forget his friends and be-
come morosa and irritable. He is so
Wrapped up in his own misery that he
is mconSderate of every one else Re-
heVed of this terrible and depressing
ailment, he again becomes a good fell
low and a man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the suf-
ferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement
They are, above all, n natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess, and they actually do the di-
sestlNe work of the stomach and enable
mat organ to rest ana recuperate and
become sound and WELL They act in a
MID, natural manner and cause no dis
turbance in the digestive organs. They &
prevent any fermentation of the food !
Whlch causes sour stomach. In fact,
under their influence the subject for
gets that he has a stomach and his re- 4
suitlng cheerfulness presents a great
contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold annually and
!hey are but in the dawn of their popu-
larity. Every mail brings letters of
from grateful ones who
nave been cured of this terrible disease.
