Salaries q covernment Workers.

Among the employees of the govern
ment engaged in each class of work
general tendency is apparent toward
an increase in average compensation
as age dvances, though this increase
is not always. uninterrupted; and sim
llarly there is almost uniformly q
consistent increase in compensation
as the length of service increases.
The clerical class Is particularly
good illustration of the latter tend.
ency, since the average rate of COM
rensation for that class, beginning at
$757 for those who have been in the
service less than one year increases
in each successive period without a
single interruption until for those who
have served 40 years and over it is
$1,450, an increase of $693.

Efforts to Preserve Peace With Inde-

Oriental Bargaining.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 24.-The gov
ernment has ordered Dimitroff, special
envoy to Constantinople, to return here
for new instructions. y
This has given rise TO fears that the
negotiations looking
to settlement Of the trouble that has
arisen from Bulgaria's s sudden declara-
tile, but the government insists that
the negotiations have not been bro
ken; that they have only been inter
rupted to permit the envoy to report
adequately in person.
Example, of Oriental Bargain.
The negotiations between NJ. Dimi-
troff and Kaimil Pasha, the grand viz
ier OF Turkey, were a perfect example
OF oriental bargaining. At the outset
the Turks would only concede ,--e min
imum; the recognition of northern Bull
garia as an independent kingdom, Rou-
mania to remain yassal principality
and continue to pay tribute. and the
Roumanian railways to remain Turkish
these proposals without discussion.
AT subsequent sitting the Turks
consented TO recognize Bulgaria as an
independent kingdom on the condition
that this kingdom pay the Roumelian
tribute and the cost of the railway
property, plus arrears. The tribute
due from northern Bulgaria is estima-
ted at 100 Turkish pounds year.
VIII Take Less.
AT the final meeting the Turkish de-
mands were reduced to the mere pay
ment of the Roumelian tribute and fol-
the railway. The Bulgarians declared
their Willingness TO pay for the rail
way, but said they would give nc
tribute. At this point the negotiations
were interrupted and the envoy re
called.
