 Tbreshed Out
10000 MEN CALLED

Constantinople, Oct 6.-The coun- ell of ministers held long session to- day to consider the action of Bull garia in declaring her independence from Turkey at Tironova yesterday. It was decided that 1t was impossible to accept any proceedings that vio- lated existing treaties, and that Tur- key should address circular note to the powers pointing out the necessity of taking measures to enforce respect for the treaty of Berlin.
 Replying to the telegram sent to the Turkish government by Prince Ferdinand in which he said that in declaring the independence of Bull garia he had been compelled to re- spect the voice of the nation and ex- pressed the hope that the friendly re- lations between the two countries would continue. Turkey says she has invited the powers to confer on the situation and as her rights are guar anteed by the powers she will look to them for defense.
 The Yenai Gazette, the organ of the grand vizier, says to-day: we are ready to defend our rights with all our strength. As the action of Bulgaria is not only directed against us but against all the powers we should ask the powers to defend their rights and protect the provisions of the treaty of Berlin"
 According to this same journal Austria-Hungary has informed the powers of her intention of withdraw ing her troops

having held out the cotton, in the in
terest of the Arkansas Farmers Union

cotton is now considerably lower than
it was several months ago when the
board considered selling.

mander is ready to be sinned.
Samples OF the cotton are now on
the Memphis, Little Rock and New

BIG EYELESS
FISH IS FOUND
Carp In the Arkansas Supposed t.
Have Come From Supteranean
Water.

Van Buren,, April 9.-There was on
exhibition at Merrill's meat market the
greater part of today a curiosity in
the way Of a fish taken from the Ar
kansas river. 1T was viewed and eX.
amined by all of the local fishermen,
as well as the patrons of the store
who called during the day.
The fish was German carp, weigh
ing five pounds, and was taken in a
barrel net by Jack Cotton. whose fish
ing grounds are Just above the Frisco
bridge under the mountains between
the city and Lees creek. The fish
was entirely blind. and q careful en-
animation Of the fish showed that it
had always been blind, there being no
trace of sockets from which the eyes
might have been torn.

That this eyeless fish managed to
escape the net or the alluring bait of
the angler was shown in its size. That
it was also able to take care of itself
on the feeding grounds which it
haunted was demonstrated when the
fish was dressed, it being unusually
fat and tender. \ man well posted
on matters historical expressed the be
lief that the carp had found its way

lish fish are found, and as partial
proof of his contention pointed out
