The balkan Uprising.

Sofia, Aug. 81. The entire absence
of news from western Macedonia is caus-

Refused Invitation 20 Visit Kaiser.

Berlin, Aug. 31.--L. II. Wieman, Of
Baltimore, Md, when in Germany, re-
Gently, refused an invitation conveyed by
the finance minister to visit the Kaiser.
The rejection of an invitation is almost
unprecedented and Mr.. Wieman's action
has caused wide spread resentment. The
Nieu Steinacriehten describes it as an
othor link in the long chain Of rebuffs
that Germany has sustained by cadging
American friendship. Thepaper attacks
finance minister Rheinbaden for thus
exposing the Kaiser to slight from an
American tourist and asks if every
American globe trotter must be invited

says: "These Americans do not

GOVERNOR MONTAGUE.

During the recent meetings at the
Hot Springs, Virginia, of the Virginia
State Bar Association and the American
Bar Association, the present Governor
of Virginia was a quiet but dignifed
representative of the Old Dominion.
But, at the conclusion on Friday night
of The meeting of the American Bar As
sociation, Governor Montague eclipsed
all the speakers of the season at the Hot
Springs, by one of the most brilliant
Efforts ever made by son of this grand
old commonwealth. BY his gracious,
modest bearing, and his genial per-
sonality, he had paved the way for a
warm reception; but by hisspeech of Fri
day, his skilful and delicate handling
of intricate living issues, his arguments
full of eloquence and power, he carried
everything before him, and placed him
self head and shoulders above all the
orators, who, through the American
Bar Association, represented the whole
American nation. 1T was a decisive
triumph. Virginians we're proud of
their Governor, and felt that he was
ably sustaining the prestige of the
mother of States and of statesmen.

Mr.. Charles RACER, of Cincinnati, q

nected with the postoffice service in
McCracken county, as applied to the
star routes and screen wagon servicel
Mr. RACER is here to arrange for the
reception of bids for the star route con-
tracts which are to be relet shortly.
There are 1923 Of these star routes and
screen wagon contracts in Kentucky,
and there are but four screen wagon
contracts let in the state, which CON-
tracts are for carrying mail from post
offices to trains, and one Of which 10
at Paduoah.
There are seven star routes in Nc
Craoken county, and contracts are to
be relet for all of them for four years.
1t was thought possible that some of
them would be discontinued on &C
count Of the rural free delivery in the
county, established since the last star
route contracts were let, but this is .
mistake.
The bids here will be for the seven
star routes and the screen wagon ser.
vice between the postoffice and depot.
The bids must be filed with the post
ooffie department by December 1, and
the decisions or awards. will be an
nounced February 1, and the contracts
entered into July 1.
The postoffice department. has made
some important changes, which will
take the star route contracts out Of
the hands Of spectators. Hereafter
the successful bidder must live on or
near the star route, and must give
the work his personal attention, if he
does not actually do the work. There
will be o distribution and collection
of box mail along the route by all star
route carriers. which will amount to
almost rural free delivery. Speculative
bidding for the contracts will be posi-
lively prohibited.
The result will be . great improve
ment in the star route service here
and everywhere else. 1t will open the
competition for carrying the mail to
everybody and place it beyond the
reach of spectators.
