cANADA's INDEPENDENCE.
Dominion Authorities Conferred Di- rect With German Official

London, Sept. 23.-Alex W. Black. lib- eral member of parliament for Banff- shire, makes public tonight an interest ing series of letters which passed be- tween himself and Mir. Chamberlain fin which MT. Black maintains that the for. mer colonial secretary launched his fs- cal scheme while ignorant of Canada $ attitude
 In the first letter, dated Sept. !, MT. Black points out that Mir. Chamberlain. replying to a question from the writer in the House of Commofis, July P. said that the Canadian government had had no direct correspondence with Germany concerning the tartr arrangements and that the Canadian government communi- cate with Germany oni ythroueh her ma jesty's government. The subsequent pub- lication of the tariff correspondence showed that official correspondence had passed between the Canadian premier and MT. Bopp, German consul at Mon- treal. in which the Canadian policy to- ward Germany was clearly defined. MT Black asked tho colonial secretary to reconcile his reply with the facts shown in the correspondence.
 Replying Sept. g. Mir. Chamberlain said he was unaware of the correspondence as the Canadian government had not kept nm inIOTtHou, Dut ne udu HOW dskeu the Dominion government to keep him in- formed of any unofficial negotiations they might conduct.
 MT. Black. replying to this letter. point ed out that Mir. Chamberlain made the damaging admission that he announced his preferential tariff scheme without having knowledge of the correspondence, which showed that Canada intended to ne- gotiate directly with Germany and was prepared to give Germany the same pre- ferential treatment as the mother coun- try.
 MT. Black said that Mir. Chamberlain must see that the reciprocity part of his fiscal scheme could not stand without the colonies surrendering their fiscal inde- pendence.
 MT. Chamberlain replied that the pres ent correspondence was not revelant to the fiscal controversy and declined to further argue the question.

THE FEELING
 LESS HOPEFUL War Cloud HOvcrS Over
 Bulgaria. THE MASSACRES CONTINUE
Proposals Discussed While Christians are Slaughtered.
Insurgents Say That They Will be Satisfied by Nothing Short of Intervention on the Part of
 the Powers.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Sept 23.-A less hope full feeling prevails today in government circles regarding the general situation, although no actual change Is reported The events of the next two days are awaited with great anxiety and popular feeling is more excited A largely at- tended meeting of Macedonian sympa- thizers at Rustchuk. Bulgaria adopted resolutions appealing to the Bulgarian Government 10 declare war on Turkey immediately.
 In revolutionary circles war Is believed to be imminent unless Turkey stops mas sacreing the Christians. pr. Christo Tatartcheff. president of the Macedonian organization, has informed the Asso- ciated Press correspondent that the in- surgent committees attach no importance to the reported negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria. because similar proposals were discussed in 1897, and later in 1899 and in 1900.
 Porte Plays for Time.
 The Porte. added Dr. Tatartcheff. en- tered into the conference only in order to gain time to finish the extermination of what 1t regards as the dangerous ele- ments in Macedonia.
 While the Sultan's government is dis cussing proposals for reform in Mace donia. the troops continue to massacre the Christians and to devastate the country. Referring to the details of the proposed arrangement, Dr. Tatartcheff said there was no guarantee even if the commits sion were appointed, that 1t would ever be more than ornamental. The present village commission In Macedonia have Bulgarian members. but they are always favorable to the Turks. The president of the Macedonian organizations concluded by declaring that the insurgents would be satisfied with nothing but intervention by the powers
 Special significance attaches to the Macedonian meeting at Rustchuk because the resolutions are the first open express sion of such an emphatic character In favor of war coming from any popular meeting fn Buiea-tas Rusfehuh is the chief commercial town in the country,
 Fighting is reported to have taken place near Kotchani on the frontier, in which the Turks lost fifty men killed and the insurgents ten. A number of reports of other minor encounters and more atroci- ties by the Turks continue to come In.

from our concern that this commod- ny had gone up in price 15c barrel. Armour cornered 22,0OO,O ,OOO bushels of wheat. We'll, I look at things in this light. About the same time as I re- ceived word from the mills that flour had increased in price, I had a tele- phone message from the Goshen creamery that butter would sell for two cents pound cheaper, and Mi warner, the man who brings in fresh eggs from the country, writes me that eggs can be sold four cents dozen cheaper than formerly. So you see tf.ese things all go'to offset the other advances. After the real cold snap, when eggs are scarce, the hens en- loyed rest and now they are bound to lay again. It's only natural. It's a good thing to make it a point not to worry as you go through this life. Perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult if we went along day by day taking all things philosophically. It was not in- tended that we should amass great fortunes. In my opinion it was in- tended that all of us should have just enough to live comfortably and a lit tie more. Why, if we were to get more than we needed as the result of our labors, there would soon come a time when we wouldn't have to work and when we stop work we stop pro- ducing. This would bring about a nice state of affairs, wouldn't it? Waterbury Republican.

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Dr.. kennedy's New Medicine Ahsr
 Other Treatment Had Failed.

Mr. Martin Montg gomery, of Silvara, Penn., formerly of Roxbury, N. Y., writing to Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
 "Your NEW medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, is immense. It cured me of liver and kid ney troubles, and rheumatism, after a lot of weary dosing with things that did no good. It is record breaker and no mis- take"
 As in MT. Montgomery's case, rheuma- tism is often, indeed almost always, com- plicated with kidney and liver trouble. It is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the kid neys and liver and at the same time expels uric acid from the blood, that it is such 8 reliable remedy for rheumatism and the at tendant disorders. It cures by removing the cause, therefore, the cure is permanent, safe and sure.
 Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kennedy Row, Rondout, N. Y., for free sample bottle.
 Remember: Only one Dr. David Ken- nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings ton NY, and be sure you get his neao and latest medicine, which is sold only in $1.0O bottles.
