 The Italian fleet is held in readiness at Sicily so that 1t could reach Turkish waters within forty-eight hours, but Italy will not take any action except in accord with the powers.
 The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Varna reiterates the determination on the part of the Bulgarian govern nlent to hinder every manifestation likely to lead to war He adds that $ Prince Ferdinand is in daily receipt of menacing letters and as result the palace is strongly guarded, the locks have been changed on the doors and all persons desiring admittance are strictly scrutinized,

TWO SOULS WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT

A highly amusing incident occurred
yesterday afternoon when the wind
was blowing in fitful gusts. A young
lady came prancing down the street
wearing milliner's creation that look
ed out of place in the storm. As she
reached street corner squall howled
by, the pretty hat was torn loose from
its intricate fastenings and the young
woman, after a vain effort to arrest
its fight, started in pursuit. Just then
Chinaman came along and his hat
was also blown Off by the wind. Per-
haps the Chinaman's headgear did not
entail nearly as great an outlay as that
Of the lady. but it was evident that he
was quite as anxious as she to recover
1t. The result was that both were
chasing their hats at the same moment,
while a few persons who chanced to
notice the incident roared with laughter
The wind carried both hats along to-
gether, and the climax of the scene was
reached when the girl, in an effort to
recover her hat, made wild grab that
netted instead the lid of the Chinaman.
Then the Righteousness of the situation
struck her and she stopped. while the
Chinaman, with unusual regard for the
proprieties, ran down the hat of the
lady. After securing it he returned to
where the girl stood blushing on the
curb and an exchange of hats followed.

Acting Commissioner Fimple, of the
gen aral land 1fice, expresses his views
regarding the policy of the department
as to timber and stone entries in
the following letter in response to in
quiry: You are advised that if you
make a satisfactory showing. that your
own entry was made for your own use
and benefit and there is nothing more
to impeach your good faith than the
mere fact that you made the entry as
an investment, with intent to sell the
land at some future indefinite time, and
in this manner realize profit on the
money invested, this Office holds that
such an entry was not made in viola
tion Of law, and should be passed to
patent This is an equitable view Of
the matter. and satisfactory to the cit
izen who buys land from the govern
ment under the timber and stone entry,
says the Albany Herald. The Herald
has the right view of the matter and
Mr.. Fimple is but following decisions
of the federal court.

AFTER THE HORSES ARE STOLEN.

About three years ago when attention
was called to the illegftimate purchases
of timber lands through correspondence
from Ashland published In the Oregon
iaan, that oaper referred to it as Pop
ulistic solicitude for the public domain"
and practically endorsed the practice.
then going on in large way. of the ir-
regular purchases by means OF "dum-
miles, and false swearing before the
local land offices, says the Ashland
Tribune,a representative paper of south
ern Oregon. 1t claimed the law was
faulty drawn, opened the door for such
Irregularities. and incidentally. the pur-
chase of timber, however accomplished
would operate TO develop industries in
the state. The writer published the
law with comment and explanation Of
what seemed to us most fiagrant
wrong to persons who sought home
stead and timber entry in lawful way.
but II was not treated as q matter Of
importance until the vigorous hand Of
the Roosevelt administration took hold
of the helm at Washington. when it
quickly became the leading issue In the
public mind out here and a topic of in
terest to the whole country. Then the
influence of the leading daily in the
state appears to have been thrown in
support of enforcement of the land laws.
At least, it can be said that it has done
much to expose the practices of the
timber grabbers and has kept us pretty
well advised as to Mr.. Hitchcock's pur-
poses to stop the spoliation of the pub
lie domain.
As to the purposes of the Tribune this
paper has no doubt. But as to Mr..
Hitchcock's motives. The Astorian is
in doubt. 1t could cite num-
her of circumstances that might i'm
press the people with the idea that Mr..
Hitchcock is a cheap charlatan who
hates a poor man, and it win do so !;
f.cm time to time, as opportunity pre-
sents.

And so Mr., Hitchcock refused to dis
cuss Oregon land matters with George,
cur George, the governor. Mr.. Hitch
cock says he will, later, issue state
ment that win explain everything. A
statement explaining everything would
become interesting Oregon literature at
once, says the Eugene Register.
