Without the Iaterven lon OF The Powers
Bulgarla's War Minister Declares That,
Should Turkey Attack, tie Present Army
Gould Hold Turks in Check.

Sofia, Bulgaria (By Cable).-Accord-
ing to reliable reports from Varna at
the recent council OF ministers presided
over by Prince Ferdinand at the pal
ace OF Euxinograd it was resolved that
Bulgaria should continue to MAINTAIN
an attitude OF the strcteSt neutrality IN
the Macedonian question. and further,
that the most stringent measures
should be adopted to prevent anything
likely to cause disturbance i'll Bull
garia's relations with Turkey.
The war minister is reported to have
spoken strongly in the council against
any thought of Bulgaria declaring war
on Turkey-frSt on account OF the
enormous expediturc that such war
would involve, and secondly. because
the great powers would never permit
Bulgaria to reap the advantage if she
were victorious.
Should Turkey attack Bulgaria, de-
clared the minister. the present army
could hold the Turks in check for the
first few days, while the entire Bull
garian Army could be modified within
three to twelve days. Bulgaria would
never declare war. he added. but II
war was declared against her she would
accept the challenge fearlessly.
As an evidence of Bulgaria peaceful
intentions the council decided that
upon the first symptoms OF disorder on
the frontier martial law would be pro-
claimed at Burgas, Kostendil, Philip
popolis and Sofia.
The ministers expressed the opinion
that the powers would soon reach the
conviction that the Macedonian ques-
ton could not be decided without their
intervention.

SaIicylic Acid In Wine.

The first instance of the Governments
refusal to admit to this country adulter-
ated wines under the Pure Food act was
noted when entry was refused of a ship
ment of white wine from Bordeaux,
France.
Upon analysis this wine, it is said, was
found to contain salicylic acid Under
the Pure Food act entry may be refused
to any article of food, wines, ETC., where
sale and consumption Of the same are
prohibited in the country whence i'm
ported. In this case it is shown that on
February %, 1887, the French Govern
ment expressly prohibited the sale of any
fuod substance, solid or liquid. in the
composition Of which there enters any
quantity whatsoever of salicylic acid or
its derivatives.

So far as railroad tons

purchased what was known as the
Port Edwards road, connecting that
point with Marshfeld, at about the

pleted its line. This gives Grand
Rapids the benefit of every road of
any consequence in the state, and
makes it railroad center of consider

of future development along manu-
featuring lines, few towns in Wisconsin
can claim the advantages of better
railroad facilities.
