BULGARIA,S ATTITUDE.

Premier Declares Certain Powers Conn
 pe'ied Extraordinary Army Expenser.
 Sofia, Dec. 3.--In the Sobranje (na- tional assembly, Premier Petroff ex- plained the policy of the government to-day. He said that the government had taken measures to place the Bull garian forces in tke position to defend the country's interests which it's prede-. cessors had abandoned to the discre- ton of a foreign power. The govern ment, by following q policy of loyalty to all powers, was doing it's utmost to avoid war.
 Premier Petrof said that the Mace donian question was created by the treaty of Berlin, but that since then the situation had become worse, driving 1b0,000 of the youth of the country to emigration or to favoilitinns This fact, he continued, was a disturbing element in the affairs of the principality. The porte, the premier said, had succeeded in making certain governments believe that Bulgaria was responsible for the revolution in Macedonia. Owing to the representations of certain great powers Bulgaria had called out the reserves in order to prevent bands of sympathizers with the revolution from crossing the frontier, while the measures adoptd by Turkey had forced the Bulgarian gov- ernment to incur extraordinary army expenditures. Fortunately, the Mace- donian question was now approaching solution.
 In conclusion. the premier said that the government was attentively follow ing this question and doing everything to defend Bulgarian interests, the sole desire being to establish situation in Macedonia which would be tolerable for Christians.

 Lansing, Mich, Dec. 1, 1903. Commissioner of Pensions, Washing

 ''Sir-I have the honor to ask you to discontinue, after this date, the pension granted to me by the United States government for disability. feel that I have won what I wished--a place on the pension rolls with my comrades of the War of the Rebellion-and relin- quish the pension only because I doubt the propriety of continuing as pen sioner when am not in need.

My intention was to donate this money to the work of the Grand Army of the Republic, and this have done.
 'Thanking you for the honor you have done me, remain,

SUBMARINE BoAa ASHORE
Two Vessels in Terr,fic storm M Q cca. sin Aground,

Norfolk, Dec. S.-One submarine tor Dedo boat pounding upon the shoals of
 Currituck and another battling with a S4-mile storm. in tow Of the naval tug Peoria, while the converted cruiser Yankton is steaming up the coast emp ty handed after having been dispatched to the rescue of the two boats, was the last information received from Curri- tuck station tonight regarding the fate of the Peoria, the Moccasin and the Adder. -,-s At 10 o'clock word came over the
 coast wires that one of the submarines had come ashore and that the life-sav-
 CTS were preparing to board her, though no signs of life had been seen.
 The Peoria left Newport, R. l., Mo-
 vember 30, towing the Adder and Moc-
 casin for Annapolis, Md. Last night
 the little flotilla was struck by furious
 northwest gale and blown far from the course and past the mouth of the
 Chesapeake. They were sighted early this forenoon by the Little Island life
 savers, and at that time the tug had
 become separated from her tows, but
 was struggling in a mountainous sea to
 pick them up again. | The wind was blowing thirty-four miles an hour and the small boats were
 tossed about like corks. As soon as
 possible word was sent to this naval
 station and the Yankton was hurried to
 the aid of the flotilla. When she arrived
 on the scene 1t was nearly dark but a ! determined effort was made to get line I fast to the submarines. Every attempt was in vain and finally the Yankton steamed up the coast toward the capes.
 The ePoria, however, succeeded in con- meeting with one of the submarines, and began battle against wind and tide for Hampton Roads. One submarine was
 lest to it's fate and shortly afterwards
 was thrown upon @ shoal where she is now pounding. It is reported the letter
 'M" can be discerned upon her bow. If l this is the case the Mocassin is ashore.

 New York, Dec. 3.-An unprecedented rush to buy, a sensational soaring of prices upward and the heaviest sales on record followed the announcement on the New York Cotton Exchange of the agricultural departments estimate of the cotton crop of the present season. s,ss2.oa9 bales.
 At the sound of the word nine" in- dicating the number of million bales in the estimate. scene of frantic bid- ding set in, the shorts in their excite ment not waiting to learn that the to- tai estimate was but 37,ss1 bales short of the round 10000 ,000, and instantane- ously prices jumped from 10 to 20 points on the first sales. the rise continuing until advances of from 30 to 40 points were registered before the close of an hour and of from SO to 70 points before the upward movement was checked.
 Then the uncovering of long cotton in tremendous volume at the advance and the realization that the estimate was practically 1o,ooo, 900 bales aslsed temporary reaction but soon an influx of buying orders from outside markets and bullish reports sent prices upward again and at the high point, reached shortly before the close, December sold at 1892, January 12.46, March at 12.59, May at 12.57 and July at 12.56 or 7a@S7 points above the low level of the morn ing. The market closed strong at near ly the top with prices net 69 to "A points higher. Sales were estimated at 2,000,- 900 bales. exceeding anything before recorded, while prices prices broke all records for this season of the cotton year.
 The cotton market opened this morn ing with prices a little off from those at the closing last night. The market was depressed to 11.60 for January and 11.72 for March, May and July, and there seemed to be disposition among the bidders on both sides to postpone trad ing until the government report was re- ceived.
 Although the trade had been prepared for a low estimate, an average of pri- vate estimates put forward last week by Cotton exchange members being 10,- ,00O bales, nothing below 10000, GOO had been anticipated.
 So great was the excitement, with over one hundred brokers seeking to buy, that at times prices were 10 to 15 points apart in different sections of the pit. The maximum advance represent ed an enhancement of value of from 8 to SS.50 per bale

War Ofiicc Sends Documents to General
 Mercter.
 Paris, Dec. 3.-General Mercier, the senior member of the revision cornmis- sion received the Dreyfus documents from the war office to-day, and the case will probably come up, though only in a semi-ofnciaI form, at the meeting of the commission Wednesday next.
 A manifesto issued jointly by the League Des Patriotes, the Patrie Fran caise, Federation Rationale, Anti-Juive Party and the Socialiste Francais re- cites that the declarations of five ex- ministers of war prove their belief in the guilt of Dreyfus and warns the. public that attempts will be made to tamper with the documents. to suborn or suppress witnesses and intfnidate the judges. In conclusion the mani- festo appeals to the public to frustrate the efforts of 'the occult sects of in- ternationalists and the powers of capi- tal."
 Madame zola, interviewed in Rome. gives particulars of the daily life of Dreyfus. She says he leaves his house only on very rare occasions. not be- cause he is in any fear of insults, but for the reason that he suffers terribly from fever. Madame Zola says that the ex-captain is devoting all his time seeking documents which may demon strate his innocence and that only once in while does he dine out even with intimate friends

MILLION UP HIS SLEEVE
DOYLE MAY OR MAY NOT
 HAVE IT.
Opinion of chief Custodian Rsdissks- The Prophet wiII be Put on the Svit. ness Stand To day-Must Answer Under Oath All QuestiOns Regarding Financial Condition of Z;nn City.


 Chicago, Dec. s.-John Alexander Dowie will be put on the witness stand before Bankruptcy Referee Sidney Christman and under oath will be re-, quired to answer all questions regard ing the financial affairs of Zion City. While the date for the inquiry has not yet been set, Judge Kohlsaat this af- ternoon entered the order which re- quires the oyerseer of the Christian Catholic church to submit to an exam ination. This action was taken on mo- tion of Attorney Samuel Ettelson, who filed the original petition in bankruptcy against DoWie. #.s...
 The receivers are now making an in vestigation of Dowie's accounts and they will undoubtedly need his testi- mony to get a correct knowledge of his financial condition. j
 Receivers Blunt and Currier, 1t was said tonight, have found only about S12,O00 in both of Dowie's banks,
 It is not likely that any of the in- dustries will be closed down, as in such an event thousands of persons in Zion SILy MOulA llluo #JC uCPllNCA VI v AiANsStAAA' of livelihood This, and Dowie's strong hold on his followers, is said to be one of the main reasons why Dowie will be retained as manager of the business under the direction of the receivers.
 Chief Custodian Redieske said to- night:
 If Dowie relies on the industries of Zion City to pay his indebtedness the town will still be in the hands of re- ceivers a year from now. Neither the lace works nor the candy factory is on a paying basis. In the case of the lace works I understand that lack of raw material is to blame. No one seems to know what is the matter with the can dy factory.'
 Redieske is now skeptieal concerning Dowie's ability to vacate the receiver ship
 "Dowie may have a million or two up his sleeve for all I know" he said, but I have been able to see any evidence of financial strength in Zion City.
