London, Sept. THE Balkan situa-
tion shows no signs of Improvement.
Indeed, in Constantinople it is now
thought that war between Turkey and
Bulgaria, is inevitable, but the Tur-
kish ambassador in London insists
that hostilities can only result from
an overt act on the part CT Bulgaria.
The Sofia government, on the other
hand, preserves strict neutrality, as
advised by Russia and Austria.
The announcement to-day of Bull
gara's attitude caused an optimistic
foreign bonds and government securi-
ties became much frmer.
Roumania, too, is enforcing neutral
ity, in compliance with the advice of
Russia, having taken measures to sup
press the Macedonian agitators with
in her borders
The Popes refusal to appeal to the
Powers to act, save in the direction of
stopping the massacre in the Balkans,
is accepted as evidence that even the
Holy See appreciates the individuality
of Intervention at this time.
Turkey is largely increasing the num-
Der of her troops in Macedonia, in
spite of her depleted treasury, and is
determined to suppress the revolution
before the Powers can intervene.
In the vilayet of Monastir the ris-
ing has been ruthlessly suppressed, the
Turks having burned many villages,
and committed grave excuses.

President Robbins Talks About the
Negotiations.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 7.-Official sane
ton was given to the purchase of the
control of the Monongahela River Con-
solidated Coal and Coke Company to-
day by the board of directors of the
Pittsburg Coal Company.
The deal is not a merger of the two
companies, and there is no intention
of making II "A merger, according to the
official statement of President Frank
L. Robbins, the chief figure in the ne
gotiations. 1t WILL however, bring the
river coal combine under the direction
of the Pittsburg Coal company,
in the future. and there will be no com
petition in the sales department nor
conflicting interests.
President Robbins was asked If there
was anything done at the meeting
about the negotiations with the Penn
sylvania and other railroads and the
coal company He replied that these
negotiations were only generally dis
cussed. He did not think that any
public statement would be made con-
corning them for at least thirty days
This proposition, he said, did not in
volve the selling of any stock of the
companies or of the sale of anything
belonging to the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany.
Regarding the stories afloat that the
deal with the Pennsylvania and other
transportation lines in Pittsburg was
a measure to cut off the Wabash Rail-
road tonnage. Mr.. Robbins emphasized
his denial of this report. saying that
absolutely nothing of that kind was
considered, or even limited at, and that
the Wabash would be as warmly well
coined to this field by the Pittsburg
Coal Company as any other line exist
ing here to-day.
