Court this morning with having caused
the eoath OF her husband during a scuf-
he last night. II is alleged that the wo-
man pushed the dead man down stairs

The case was being investigated.
Coroner's Physician Bastian this
morning held a post-mortem -eXamina-
tion over the remains Of Berry. The

MAY AVERT WAR
Balkan Situation Appears to De Near
Settlement

Balkan Situation Appears to De Near
Settlement.
Sofia. Bulgaria. Sept. 23.-Within "a
hours the question of peace or war
will probably be settled, according TO
authoritative opinions here. Premier
Petron had an interview with Ali
Feruh Bey. the Turkish diplomatic
agent. at which the whole situation in
Macedonia was discussed. AS a result
of this conference a much better feel
ing prevails. and confident hopes are
expressed that a satisfactory adjust
ment will be reached. This view Is
strengthened by a report from Con
stantinople to the effect that the coun-
eli of ministers after some days Of
discussion is within measurable dis
tance Of an agreement on the chief
points at Issue
The premier complained 10 the
Turkish diplomatic agent OF the sit
uation created by the arrival at Bur
gas of thousands OF destitute and
starving refugees from the district of
Losengrad. After a discussion an un-
derstandine was practically reached
that Turkey should guarantee the safe
protection Of the refugees and take
steps to reinstate them in their homes.
The general effect Of these confer
ences in Constantinople and Sofia has
induced a much more hopeful feeling
here, although in Balkan affairs it is
always possible that the next days
happenings may change the entire sit
uation.
