A coTEMPORARY calls attention to
what il terms the recrudescence OF
trouble between Greece and Bulgaria
II follows hard upon trouble between
Greece and ROumania, and that in turn
has followed close after trouble between
Bulgaria and Roumanis, while to oc-
cupy the few brief intervals in these
tripartite ENVIRONMENTS there have been
troubles between Servia and Bulgaria,
between Hungary and Servia, between
Roumania and Hungary and between
Greece and Turkey, while Mace
domains of various stocks and the
incorrigible Albauisns have been in
chronic states of effervescence. These
cougeries of empires, kingdoms aud prin-
CAPABILITIES where fragments of forgotten
peoples dwell in and around the rugged
peninsula of the Balkans have been
aptly termed the lumber room of Europe.
They are composed of MahOmetans, Jews,
Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics OF at
least three separate types, Protestants,
Armenians and others, and there are
two Roman peoples, the Roumaaians and
the Zinzars or Kutzo- Walachs; four
Slavic peoples, the Russians, the Serbs,
the Croats and the Bulgars; the lllyrians
or Albanians, the Magyars, the Greeks,
the Germans and the Osmsnl Turks.
Now these inextricably intemingled
would present sufficiently perplexing
medley il they were all amiably disposed
and DESTROYS of living in harmony. But
what shall we say of it when no two are
agreed, but every one regards every
ether as an actual or potential foe, and
nearly every one cherishes Gome high
historical ambition tinctured with intolP
Grant pride7 Not one is willing to ac-
cept The rule to another. Not one is
able by force to dominate the others.
Not one can separate itself from all the
Others. The picture is one which has
for many years perplexed diplomats and
will doubtless continue to do so.

The outrage occurred during the usual
Saturday reception held by the Premier
at his home on Apothecary's Island. M.
Stolypin was badly wounded aud his
body was so badly torn that the first re-

Soldiers surrounded the house and ad-
mission was denied to everyone, so that
it was some time before the people knew
that the Premier was not dead.
The explosion of the bomb set fire to
the Premier's house, causing consider
able damage. II is stated that NJ. Stoly-

The physicians in attendance give no
hope for his recovery. Three weeks ago

The two more important companies

the old Missouri Fur company and

three-fourths of the entire trade. The
Rocky Mountain Fur company did
much of the business up TO 1894 when
