MUST WAR TO KEEP PEACE Turks Hostility to the
 BulgarianS. FEAR INTERNAL TROUBLE Sultan Must Provide Vent for Bloodthirsty Sentiment. M zolsovitz, the Bulgarian Agsn1 at Paris, Says His Nation is
 Anxious That There Be
 No Outbreak.
FEAR INTERNAL TROUBLE

Paris, Feb. 2i.--M. zoltovitz, the Eul- garian agent in Paris. made the follow ing statement today:
 T can give the most formal assur- allces that Bulgaria has moro chan ever resolved to do nothing to compromise the peace. It Is with great satisfaction that we have seen the poWera elaborate plan for reforms in Macedonia and wa wish wiothout any reasfVAkfoh tho reforms realized. Above all at this moment when the powers are following with anxfsty the events in the Far East, Bulgaria win avoid doing anything that would cause the belief that she proposes to profif nT the crisis. The Bulgarian people hnva unanimously expressed warm syrupathx. for Russia.
 5 Hostility of Turk.
 Tt is unfortunate that Turkey perBfsts in her regretable hostility. Beskden the annoying police measures she has taken against our people. our commerce. enfs fera serious obstacles; and finally the continued concentration cf Turlkiah troops along our frontier and the mobili% zation of troops at strategic points ia menacing us."
 Nj. zoltovitz said there was d var party in Constantinople which has pre4 pondering influence and quoted from con- sular reports to the effect that the Turks fear military insurrection # war with Bulgaria is not declared.
 Tn the light of these facts" Ms zoltovits concludes. 1t is natural that Bulgaria, too, should be preparing"
 It is understood the Powers are con~ sidaring simultaneous representations to Constantinople and Sofia t0 compel limitation to armament.

MExIco AND PANAMA.
Object of Recent Note to Other
 American Governments.

Mexico City. Feb. A.-The government organ denies that Mexico has addressed a note to Chile expressing itself favOra- ply regarding recognition of the republic of Panama, but intimating a desire to extend that recognition jointly with the government of Chile in order that 1t might carry greater moral force.
 The official paper says the foregoing lacks foundation. for the Mexican gov ernment has addressed no note on the subject to the government of Chile. It has done nothing more than endeaVor through its representatives to ascertain the sentiment and policy of other gov ernments of this continnet regarding the matter in question, without undertaking to act in concert with any of them.

The question has been brought up that the British pro- posal tended to reaffirm Chinese sovereignty over the points occupied as well as to foreign municipalities, but the view of the French authorities is that there Is no change in the status of these territories in consequences, of the exten- sion of Chinese neutrality to them.

RUMoRs or HARD TIoHTINo.
Nothing Definite of Progress of tn
 Var

War. London, Feb. 22.-The cables are still absolutely silent with regard to the pro gress of the war, but there are vague rumors of land fighting.
 As an instance, the Paris edition of The New York Herald's correspondent at St. Petersburg talks of Russian repulse on the Yalu river with loss of 2,500 lives. These rumors are unconfirmed, and from a reliable quarter the Morning Posts Che Foo correspondent said he learns tens of thousands of Japanese are advancing by forced marches from various parts of Ko- req, on the Yalu. and that severe fight ing is expected shortly. These are the only references to actual operations that have reached London.
 The announcement that General Kodo- ma has been replaced Tn the Japanese cabinet by MT. Koshikawa is regarded as meaning that General Kodona is about to take command of the Japanese land forces. Kodoma, who is Japan's leading general, did splendid work during the Chino-Japanese war.
 It Is said the Viceroy Alexieff has ask ed the ministry of marine to send him officers who are not too young and ad- mirals who are not too old. The viceroy has Issued proclamations to the Chinese throughout Manchuria seeking to enlist their sympathies in behalf of Russia, and their assistance in maintaining the rail- way intact by representing to them Japan's alleged treacherous methods in beginning the war.
 A Port Arthur dispatch received at St. Petersburg reports that the Russian cruiser Novik had been repaired and had left her dock.
 The Standards Kieff correspondent hears that the Caucasus and Turkestan armies are to be mobilized. He adds that the rumor Is not confirmed. but says if it is true it can only be interpreted as a yelled threat against India in certain emergencies.
 The correspondent at Tientsin of The Standard reports an attack by 800 Chinese brigands on the Russian post at Foo Chow, as probably an attempt to wreck the railway.

SUICIDE OF YOUNG WOMAN.
Mollie Scott browns Herself in the
Patuxent River.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star.


LAUREL, Md, June 80 1904.
Miss Molie Scott. daughter Of William
Scott. committed suicide by drowning her
self in the Patuxent river, short distance
above the dam of the United States Cotton
Duck Company's mill, yesterday afternoon
Miss Scott left her home about IL o'clock
yesterday. saying to those about the house
that she intended to put an end to her life
BY jumping from a high bridge close to the
place where she lived. Persons who heard
this statement paid no heed to it, as the
unfortunate woman had on several occa-
sions made threats of self-destruction.
Her body was discovered by several
young men who were in bathing close to
the spot chosen by Miss Scott for her rash
deed. The young men were Mortified at
the discovery and were about to take the
body from the water: reconsidering, how
ever, Officer James A. Scaggs OF the local
police force was notified. He went to the
place of the suicide and took charge of the
remains
Mr.. Scaggs was informed OF the threat
made by Miss Scott when he went to dinner
yesterday and Immediately instituted a
search for the woman. He was searching
the water about half mile above the
scene of the suicide when the body was
located by the young men, as stated
When found there were no marks of
violence noticed upon the person. Her bon
net was found tied with the back fitting
closely over the face, the strings being
drawn tight about the neck.
The place picked out by Miss Scott for
her rash act is about half a mile above the
mill plant. where are employed a large
number of men, women and children, and
is also a favorite spot for bathers. From
the foot marks on the bank 1t was evident
that she had waded out into the stream and
deliberately held her face under the water
until she strangled, as the water at the
spot averages but about four feet in depth
Mr.. George w. Alcorn. justice OF the
peace. was notified of the suicide and inn
paneled jury of inquest on the case. When
the testimony had been submitted verdict
of death by suicide was Z Bldered.
From her manner of late 1t was thought
her mind had become affected, but the
members OF her family and her other
friends were wholly unprepared for the
news OF her untimely death.
