The second and eliminating
step in the Austro-BuIgarian
programme for the aggrandize-
ment of themselves at the ex-
pense of the status established
by the treaty of Berlin, was
consummated tonight when EN-
peror Francis Joseph formally
proclaimed the practical annex
alton of Bosnia and Herzegov-
ina to the dual monarchy. The
present situation is as follows:
Turkey calls upon the powers
to preserve to her what they
guaranteed by that treaty. Aus
tria and Bulgaria strongly de.
clare their determination to keeE
what they have taken. Servia
is protesting belligerently against
being hemmed in more strongly
between two unpopular neigh
bors and against having the
Servians in BOSNIA absorbed
into the Austro-Hungarian ma.
tionality.
The other powers concerned il
the Berlin treaty are discussing
the holding of an international
conference to consider this mos
delicate of problems.
Turkeys unexpected policy
OF restraint minimizes the DOS.
sibilities Of war, which now i,
considered out of the question.
A conference of the powers il
expected to be held within tw,
or three months if it can be ar
ranged, but no one imagines tina
1t will undo this weeks work.

THE EASTERN SITUATION.

Prince Ferdinand Declares the
independence of Bulgaria and
Takes Title of Czar-Annex-
alton of Bosnia and Here.
govina Proclaimed.
London Dispatch, 5th
In the ancient capitol of Tirno-
vo the independence of Bulgaria
was proclaimed to-day with the
Gar Of the Bulgarians as a ruler.
Gar Of the Bulgarians is recog-
nized to mean more than Gar of
Bulgaria, because it is a distinct
intimation that he regards his
country as having sovereignty
over all the people Of that blood
in the near East.
The question which has been
stirring the whole of Europe
more deeply than any similar
question within the memory of
the present generation is, does it
mean war? From all the cap
itals tonight come reports, in
dicating that it means, first of
all, another European congress
of the signers of the treaty of
Berlin to consider the situation
and probably to revise the treaty.
Turkey caught in a moment of
weakness is the victim Of this
situation while some information
al animosities have been stirred
up, probably no power is willing
to rlake war.
Reports from the emancipated
Turkish press to London indicate
that the young Turks" will
swallow this bitter pill as best
they can and. if they do, natur-
ally the Bulgarians, while will
ing and eager for war, will have
no cause on which to base the
beginning of hostilities.

Night Riders Warn Martin Coun-

Iarboro Dispatch, 9Th
Cotton planters in Martin coun-
ty were terrorized to-day when
it was learned that almost every
gin had been placarded by night
riders stating that unless they
held cotton for higher price the
houses would be destroyed. For
the third time the Jefferson gin
at Fountain was placarded Mon
day night and warned that if the
gin was operated another day all
buildings would be destroyed.
This is the first outbreak of night
riders in eastern Carolina. A
large percentage of these gins is
insured and local companies will
appeal to Commissioner Young.
