BETWEEN GREEKS
AND bULGAR|ANS

London. Aug. l6-The reports received
a the foreign office fully confirm the Sc
riousness Of the trouble between the
Greeks and the Bulgarians but the Off
cials look upon the disturbances more MS
tribal than as national the belief being
that the Bulgarian government is making
every effort TO prevent clashes, though
thus far without great success.
There il but one thing 20 stop these
excesses," said an official OF the foreign
office today. "and that is "A final settle
ment OF the whole Macedonian questions
on which Great Britain is working In
cessantly The prospects Of success are
now brighter than ever. as the powers
are beginning 10 see that Great Britain's
proposals for financial reforms are tho
only solution OF the question"
Sir Edward Grey has just sent note 10
the Porte stating that the lattcrs last
two notes with reference 10 three per
cent increases in the customs duties were
not acceptable What Great Britain sug-
gests is that before the powers agree to
an increase I'm the customs they get as
surapces that Turkey will devote the
revenue obtained from the increases TO
reforms I'm Macedonia.

finding his new duties much easier
than he anticipated. He says he will
have no difficulty in getting acquaint-

Mr.. Church's duties as probate Judge

tunity to become acquainted with
many of the duties he will now have
to assume. In Caldwell, by virtue OF
judgeship, he was what might be
termed an ex-officiO state land COM
missioner, and was called upon to
hear many contest cases, take final
proofs and do other land work. The
knowledge thus gained will be of
great assistance to him here, he says.
