WAR NEXT SPRING.
Bulgarian Diplomatic Agent Says 1t Is
a Certainty.

London, Nov. 5.-M. Tzokoff, the new
Bulgarian diplomatic agent, who has
just arrived here, regards war between
Turkey and Bulgaria as being prac-
tically inevitable the incoming spring.
In an o%utspoken interview he declares
there is not the slightest real i'm
provement in the situation in Mace
donia:, hat the Austro-Russian reform
scheme is futile, and that IN conse-
quence of the treatment of Bulgarians
in Macedonia, and the strain on the
principality's arising from
the necessity of supporting 100000 ref
ugees in Bulgaria, he declares trade
with Bulgaria has absolutely ceased
and that European banks have stopped
the credit of the Bulgarian people.
"This economic crisis" the agent
i.continues. will be a hundredfold worse
next year, and in itself must provoke
war. All Bulgarians agree that 1t Is
better to have a few weeks war witt

will be resumed. than a prolongation o!

experiments are for the purpose OF de-

corn will be weighed at the beginning
of the experiment and each day Tor a
week. Thereafter each crate Will be
weighed weekly for a year n the
