Outlook for Wood is Better,

Deference to Senator Foraker seems now to be paid in the matter of the han oIing of the domination of Gen. Leonard wood. and 1t is understood the case will come up within this week.
 MaJor Rathbone, who. with the late senator Hanna, was the most conspicu. ous protestant against the nominal ton, seems now to have disappeared from any connection with the case The nomina- ton would have come up during the pres ent week, but Senator Blackburn heinz called out of the city and wishing to say something about the nomination of Gen eral Wood, 1t was decided in deference tc his wish to defer action. Senator Scott will also have something further to say at the next meeting in opposition to con. firmation. General Woods friends expect to have favorable report on his nomina tion in the near future.

 GARIBALDI
 IS,AT WORK F Preparing For Balkan.
 Outbreak. BORIS SARAFOFF IN ITALY. The Possibility of Arbitration.
 Discussed. American oHcial Recently cn Scene of Prospective Trouble Says That the Turks will not
 Declare War.

Rome, Feb. 27.--The situation in the Balkans. with which Russia, Italy ana Austria are closely connected. although 1t has improved somewhat during the last few days. still occasions considerable anx- tety.
 It is no longer a secret that Boris Sa- rafoff, the Macedonian leader. came to Italy with the object of deciding on a course of action with Ricciott Garahaldt, who heretofore has not approved of an isolated movement on the part of the Macedonians. in an interview the two leaders agreed upon plan which will result in a general rising in the Balkans. should necessity arisc.
 With this object meeting of all tho Balkan leaders has been provisionally ar- ranged to take place in Venice about the end of March. The possibility of arbitra- ton was also discussed Garibaldi pro posed to sound the United States as to whether that country would be willing to act in the capacity of arbitrator, as he regarded it as the government best fitteg to do so, 1t having no direct or indirect interest in the affair. while its fairness has been already established.
 Should arbitration or the other suggest ed arrangements for peaceful settlement through the threatened trouble fall, n general revolution seems inevitable and Garibaidi is already secretly preparing 6 body of volunteers, each member of which will be equipped with arms, 2,e00 rounas of cartridges and food for a month.
 Refused the Leadership.
 Garibaldi was offered the general direc- ton of the. Macedonian movement, but re- fused on the ground that he thought iS better to leave the leadership to some man directly interested in Macedonia RA this would give Garihaldi freer hand. The financing of the movement being the most difficult part, Garibaldi is asking al his friends in Italy and abroad to con tribute funds to the cause.
 Confidential and official information from Austria points to the fact that the government is making exterssiye prepar- ations to check any movement on It's southeastern frontiers. where reinforce. meats amounting 10 5000 men have been centerod. The proprietors of theaters and other large buildings in tfst Isart of the country have been warned that their premises may be seized for military pur- poses. f x
 It is known that negotiations are going on between Russia and Italy, with re- gard to the Balkans. Slgnor Tittoni, the Italian foreign minister alluded to these exchanges in the Chamber of Deputies on February p, when he protested against the Russian manifestations in Italy and said they would endanger the relations of Italy and Russia just when the two governments were exchanging views of very vital Interests.

 It apears now definitely decided as far as anything with which President Roose- welt Is connected can be positively con cluded beforehand. that the appointment of B. M. Harrod of New Orleans. as heretofore indicated in these dispatches, will go to the Senate as one of the Isthmian Canal Commissioners.
 The commission according to the in- formation tonight, has been made up and the names of the entire seven will be sent to the Senate Monday.
 The Louisiana Senators will make no opposition to the confirmation of Major Harrod. The President has let 1t be understood that charges against Major Harrod have been properly investigated and that the results do not warrant changing the appointment Now that the appointment of Harrod appears certain, discussion of his successor on the Missls- sippi River Commission has been revived and again the name of B.

The paper contained lorg communi-

Berkeley OF Morgan counties to get
more votes at any precinct in Jeffer-
son county than all three of Jefferson 5
candidate combined TO entitled them
to the delegates from any precinct,

asserts ia at the leaders in Berkeley
have 50 grossly managed matters that
they have destroyed a Democratic ma
iority Of eight hundred Berkeley
county never had majority Of eight
hundred, and only Oh one or two oc-
casious did a Democrat have the half
of eight hundred majority.
