SITUATION IN MACEDONIA.
Rumors of Possibilities Not Confirmed
 With Authority.


 New York, Feb. 2-Rumors of hostih- ties in Macedonia, if not premature, are not confirmed with adequate authority, says The Tribunes London correspondent
 The efforts of the powers to restrain both Servia and Bulgaria are increased rather than relaxed. Since the Sultan's unconditional acceptance of the proposals for reform Russian pressure has been steadily applied to Bulgaria and the gov ernment of Sofia has been warned that nothing must be done to encourage Macedonian uprising. It is reported that Austrian officers are already employed in secret service on the Servian and Bull garian frontiers. and are watching the situation closely.
 Many correspondents have passed through Vienna and Belgrade to Nisch and Sofia, which are the chief centers of news. The district between Nisch and Salonica is in a state of suppressed ex- citement, but the correspondents are al- lowed to ride through 1t to watch the first preparations for carrying out the proposed reforms. Optimism prevails in official circles in Vienna and St. Peters burg, but the energy with which the Balkan States are kept under rigorous restraint implies apprehension of a com- ing storm. There are no signs that the reforms have excited enthusiasm either fin Macedonia or Bulgaria.
 Public opinion in Bulgaria unanimous ly condemns the proposed reforms for Macedonia as entirely inadequate. The Macedonians themselves declare they will not accept the reforms, even if much more extensive, as 1t would require Eu- ropean control to insure their being car ried out. The extremist newspapers de- nounce this proqect as international syn icism, and maintain that a Macedonian uprising Is now more certain They de- clare the Macedonians should break with Austria and Russia and seek the support of other powers

Much Money to Be Coined for the
 Philippines.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.--A special to Tha Times-Democrat from Washington sayss
 So far as Congress is concerned, the ad- ministration's program for Philippine currency has been completed. The bill
 will go to thu White House for the Presl~ dents signature as soon as it can be en- grossed. The work of coining the new peso and half peso. as well as the minor coins which are provided for the islands, is to be done In the hints of this country.
 Work on these coins is to begin at once. and hurry orders will undoubtedly be given at the Treasury Department as soon as the bill is signed.
 There Is a prospect that another burden may be placed on the hints of the United States which will tax them to their fulf capacity for the next year at least. Sem ator Aldrich has prepared an amendment removing the limit of $100.000 900 as the amount of subsidiary silver coin. This amendment he offered to the sundly civil appropriation bill today and it was agreed to. It was drawn in accordance with the suggestion of the Treasury Department, as tLtre Is a great demand for additional dimes, quarters and halves from the com mercial institutions of the country The limit of $lG0. GOO. GOO has been reached and still the demand for coin continues Son. ator Aldrichs amendment will result, it is estimated. in the addition of about s15 GOO, GOO to the supply of subsidiary coin in the next year. There Is about 24.000,OO0 ounces of silver bullion now in the Treas ury. No silver Is being purchased, and the prescribed coinage of $. .500. GOO a month in silver dollars is going on constantly, The question, then, is how much of this silver bullion can be coined into subsidi- ary coin by the hints, which are required first to turn out the prescribed number of silver dollars. To this Is now added the Philippines coinage as a further tax on the capacity of the mints With this great demand for silver coin. the United States hints will be worked harder fin tho next year than in any year in the past,

Court Prevents Sale of a Florida

Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. %.-The Florida Sunreme Court has made permanent the injunction restraining the commissioners of Hillsbora County from disposing of the S4oO.GDo issue of gold bonds author ized by vote of the people,
 An injunction had been granted In the Circuit Court prohibiting the sale of the bonds on the ground that they called for payment in gold instead of lawful money of the United States. The Su- nreme Court bases its decision not on this ground but on the ground that the reso- Iution of the commissioners. on which a vote was taken, did not definitely fix the interest.

persuaded to make the canvass for
Governor. Ever since [ heard Gen.
Bullock make little speech to a very
small meeting in OcaIa, now more

in high estimation. What have seen
and learned about him since that little
meeting has only added to the high
regard then formed for him. Being a
republican, can do no particular
good in democratic canvases; but, if
you will nominate him [ shall take
great pleasure in voting for him, and
shall try for him among my friends.

HIS RECENT VETO DISCUSSED BY
4 NEWSPAPER.
the PASco COUNTY DEMOCRAT
PRAISES HIM FOR COURAGE.
Claims He Has Saved Taxpayers
Mouey-He Would Rather Be
Right Than President of
the United Sta ties.

The Pasco County Democrat thus
eulogizes Gov. Jennings:
"FOr exercising his power to veto
the unjust and outrageous apprOpria-
ton act, recently passed, Gov. Jen-
nings deserves the plsudits of the peO.
pie. Had he not vetoed this act an
additional levy of two mills would
have been necessary to carry out its
provisions, which would have special
ly benefited six counties of the state
at enormous expense to the other
thirty-nine counties. The people will
approve this act of the governor. For
had he failed TO veto this appropria-
ton act he would have forfeited the
confidence of all fair-minded people
of every party and showed himself a
political trickster and cringing
coward, trading Off the peoples inter
est for influence and popularity that
he might secure his own advance
ment. No one knew better than he
that the approval of the act would
have created the greatest enthusiasm
in the minds of the thOughtless and
those who at any cost to the state
would foster their own local institu-
tons. But we have a governor who
would rather be right than president.
That his veto of the act resulted from
honest conviction and sincere desire
to conserve the greatest good OF the
greatest number will be plainly seen
TO any one who knows him.
AN IDEAL GOVERNOR.
"Gov. Jennings has made an ideal
executive. All the traits of assiduOus
industry, transformations dignity,
thoroughness and simplicity are OBJ
servable in his official life. His
habits are indicative of his dislike of
OstentatiOn and official parade and of
his methodical and industrious train
ing. He walks to the executive office
every morning at 9 O'Clock and goes
straight to work. He trusts no one
but critically investigates for himself
before he reaches a conclusion, and
he familiarizes himself with every
detail and every fact essential to just
conclusions and wise and intelligent
action. The amount of work thus &C.
cOmplished-ss his private secretary,
MIR. Charles H, Dickinson, testifies-
is something enormous. This much
may be asserted of Gov. Jennings,
that no public man of Florida has
displayed greater administrative ca.
pacity, greater republican simplicity
or sounder common sense than has
Gov. jennings conduct
of affairs, In his private, as we'll as
public life, We find an utter absence of
all attempts at political clap trap and
meteoric show. Honesty, fidelity and
capability are his characteristics"

Charlotte Is Dying.

1t is reported that Carlotta is dyinl
in the castle near Trieste where she
has so long been confined. Her sad
story is we'll known; she was the wife
of the unfortunate Macmillan, and
sister OF the king of the Belgians. She
married Macmillan, then Archduke
of Austria. when she was seventeen.
When Napoleon Ill offered the throne
of Mexico to Macmillan, she was
eager for him to accept it; she urged
him to it and dreamed dreams of a
vast power and empire which they
should build in the new country of
wealth beyond dreams. When she
came over to Mexico with her court
she busted herself establishing a
model palace such as she had known
in Europe. But the dream was short
and the ending frightful. The court
driven from Mexico, herself repulsed
when she appealed to France, her
emperor husband shot to death. The
end for her came when she went to the
pope and begged him to help. She
went insane during the audience and
in all these thirty five years and
more, has been a poor mad queen,
in semi confinement, the pity
of the world.

BRODlE ON STATEHOOD.

On the question of statehood, Gov.
Bro lie in his recent report asserts
THAT the people of Arizona believe,
as they have for many years, that they
are entitled to self government as one
of the sisterhood of states, and that
the increase in taxable wealth, the
character of the population and the
progress and development made in all
lines of endeavor, entitle them to
consideration, and justify the demand
that Arizona shall be admitted. They
are confident of their own ability to
support state government, and desire
all the privileges and immunities, as
we'll as prosperity, that will come
with self government. At the same
time, the people of Arizona are unan-
imous in their opposition to a union
with any state or part of state or
territory, oven though by such I'M
ion statehood could be obtained.
They have expended too much time
and energy in the upbuilding of their
public institutions to, at this late
date, desire to surrender to others
control. They feel without exception
that union with the Territory of
New Mexico as one state, by whatever
name it may ..be known, would make
a state too cumbersome for the proper
administration of public affairs; that
such a union would be disastrous to
all concerned, and would be rather an
obstacle than help to the greatest
progressive advancement of either.
Arizona seeks admission as "a state;
she seeks it on her own merits, but
she seeks it as Arizona. -
