The Bulgarian Situation.

Sofia, Feb. 22.-Prince Ferdinand is
enforcing the most prudent attitude on
the part of Bulgaria, determined that if
hostilities with Turkey occur the latter
country must be the aggressor. Bulgaria
is ready to fight, but she fears that either
Austria or Russia will take the spoils in
case she is victorious. Bulgaria's chief
hope is that England will step in in the
event of Bulgaria's success, and see that
fair play is given.
London, Feb. 22.-Advices from Ber-
lin today state that the Kaiser, appre-
ciating the extreme seriousness of affairs
in the far East, and recognizing the fact
that Russia will have her resources taxed
to the utmost, for some time come, has
assured the Gar of his resolve to prevent
by all possible means an outbreak in the
Balkans. Every pressure will be brought
TO bear on Turkey to this end.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIEs.

James GittiDger, President of the Fred

suicide this morning by cutting his
throat. He was taken to a hospital and
it is feared he will die. Melancholy,
due to i'll health, is the supposed cause
of his act.
One of the most severe earthquake
shocks San Franciso has experienced in
years, struck that city few minutes be-
fore three o'clock this morning. The

unusual power and were followed by
heavy wind that lasted only a few
seconds.
Colonel Frederick Myers, whose wife
Florence, died in New York yesterday

colonel was out of the room, given his
wife six of the tablets which caused her
death, The prisoners were remanded
for further investigation.

Frances Position Declared.

Paris, Feb. 22.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse announces. that France is not
Immediately concerned in the eastern
situation, and advises the French con-
suls to observe neutrality. Any stronger
declaration of neutrality would be in
terpreted as a too open desertion of Rus
STA in her time of need. In the mean
time the French government is strength
ing her forces in the East aud taking
other precautions in fear that its hand
will be forced either at home or abroad.
Nobody is wanting to fight, but every
body is examining the possibilities,
generally distrusting England's sim
certify.

Attacked in Washington.

Asbury Eshelman, of Fairfax, was
beaten almost insensible by two men in
Washington lumber yard and was af-
terward arrested Saturday night He
defended himself TO the best of his abil
lty by cutting one of the men who in
weighed him into going to the lumber
yard, and for so doing he will have to
answer to a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon. One of the men
whom Eshelman charges with assault
and battery is the complainant against
him. According to EShelman's version
OF the affair, he was met by two strange
men in a lunch room near Twelfth and
E streets and they picked quarrel with
him. After while they excused them
selves for their conduct and invited the
visitor outside to take a 'smile'' and
make friends. They bad seen his money.
he says, but he did not suspect them
until one of them felled him to the
ground with blow IN the head with
stick. Both of them jumped on him,
kicked him about the face and head and
then tried to get to his pockets. Eshel-
man says he drew his knife and cut one
of the men about the hand and they
yelled murder"
Policeman McTaggart found him lying
Oh the ground and took him to the
Emergency Hospital. While the police
man and the injured man were at the
institution William R. Grady, thirty
one years old, apainter, was taken to the
hospital. His left hand looked as though
it had been run over by locomotive.
Every vein in it was cut and the doctors
had hard work dressing it. Eshelman
recognized Grady as the man who beat
him, he said. Grady preferred charges
against Eshelmsn for cutting his hand.

STATEMENTS are made in Washington
that Congress intends to surprise and de-
light an incredulous public by adjourn
ing "some time in April" The leaders
in the House, it is said, are determined
to break all records for expedition, and
are confidently predicting that the nece'-
sary legislation of 1904 can easily be
crowded within the limits Of five
months session. Some OF the House
leaders go even further. Mr.. Dalzell,
the ranking member of the committee
on rules, was quoted the other day as
declaring a session of four months quite
sufficient for clearing the legislative cal
endar. ave have nothing to do but
pass appropriation bills" said Mr.. Dal-
zell. II believe we can finish before
April l." Speaker Cannon has given
orders TO the chairmen of committees to
crush business along" and is equally
anxious to force an early adjournment.
Well, as nothing is to be done but pass
the appropriation bills, the sooner Con-
gress adjourns the better, aud the
people will have to wait in patience for
relief legislation.

The Situation i'm the Far East.

London, Feb. 22.-No confirmation
has as yet been received of the vague
rumors current early this morning that
the first serious clash on land between
Russian and japanese troops had oc-
Cured near the Yalu river, and that the
Russians had been repulsed with loss
of $500 killed and wounded. The re-
ports are discredited in many circles to-
day inasmuch as the japanese are not
thought to have sufficient force in that
vicinity to infct such crushing blow on
Russian arms nor are the Russians pre-
pared for such fight at that point. 1t
is true, however, that such clash will
doubtless occur in the near future. Rus
STA, according to dispatches received from
the seat of war, is rushing troops to the
vicinity of the Yalu river. Japan is do
ing likewise, and the fight when it comes
will be decisive one, as well as one in
which the casualties are bound to be ter
rife on account of the great numbers en-
gagged.
Despite Frances assertion that the
dispatching of ships and men to the far
East has no sinister significance whatever
there is little doubt that the situation is
pregnant with warlike possibility for
the friends and opponents of Russia. An
official stated in frank terms that while
France is naturally DESTROYS of averting
a clash nevertheless, should necessity
demand, she would fight for her ally,
Russia, whatever the cost of such war
would be.

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. %. 1904.

ALEXANDRIA again manifested her
esteem for George Washington today by
celebrating his birthday in an appro-
priate manner, Notwithstanding the
uppropitious weather. This has for over
a century been peculiarly an Alexandra
fete day, and this year the occasion
wouId have been honored on a colossal
scale, not only by those native and to the
manner born, but by representative men
nj the State and nation, had the elements
not interfered. As has often been said in
the Gazette, which described the first
22d of February parade at the dawn OF
the last century, it is obligatory upon
this city for many reasons to show prop
er respect to the memory OF Washington
the principal one being the fact that ne
exhibited more interest in Alexandra
than in any other place save his own
home at Mount Vernon. Alexandra
was in Washington's time an unpreten-
tious and struggling little place, too Dig
for village and rather to small for a
town He interested himself in every
thing which in any way tended to the
expansion of the little town, which ne
.aamed 10 take under his patronage lie
was a well-known figure in our midst
and most Of the people enjoyed speak
ing acquaintance with him. Much has
been said in past years Of his appearance
in our churches and in other places,
mingling with our people and virtually
becoming one of them. In colonial days
when the issues which brought on the
revolution were reaching a head, many
of his cogitations concerning the ADVISE
biity Of defying the mother country
were visible while walking Alexandra =
streets. and when the conflict became IN
evitable be conyersed with our people con-
corning the wrongs under which we sui
fered and the probable outcome OF the
war Over 100 years have passed away
since he was seen in the Masonic Lodge,
in Christ Church yard, on our streets, or
in our market court. Generation mas
crowded generation from the theatre OF
life, and many other great Americans
have played their respective parts IN his
tory since the illustrious Washington
fell asleep at Mount Vernon. Some
won their spurs, while others were
creatures of accident, and having waxed
suddenly waned almost as quickly
Washington, however, is a star of the
first magnitude and, like one whose
Birthday was observed in Alexandra
last month, he becomes more luminous
rs - years come and go, and his life is
more studied.
