Turkey GETTING Ready.

The optimism prevailing in official
circles concerning the ability of the
powers to maintain peace in eastern
Europe was rudely shattered on re-
ceipt Of a telegram from the French
ambassador at Constantinople an.
nouncing that Turkey had ordered the
mobilization of her troops in Asia
Minor and it is believed that another
day will determine the issue of peace
or war.
This is regarded as Turkeys answer
to Bulgaria's refusal to accord COM
pensation for her independence and
TO the powers which arranged the pro-
gram in London for the international
conference.
Instructions have been hurriedly
forwarded to the French representa-
tives at Constantinople and Sofia TO
renew their counsels of prudence, and
undoubtedly the other powers have
sent similar instructions TO their rep
resentatives at these cities urging
moderation on the part of Bulgaria
and Turkey.

The Fleet Visits Japan.

The American feet dropped its
anchors at $3.50 Sunday morning in
the port of Yokohama. AS the 16 bat
tleships rounded Honmou Point and
came through the entrance to the bay
they were accompanied by the Japa-
nese cruisers Soya, Magami and Tat
suta, commanded by Rear-Admiral
Murakari
When the feet rounded Honmou
Point and came in sight of Yokohama,
the warships began firing their salutes
to the rear admiral in command of the
fleet. The roar of the guns. the burst
ing fireworks, bombs. the shrek Of the
steam sirens with the drone of the
liners made an overwhelming sound.
When the fleet finally came to an
chor 1t presented an imposing spec
tacle. Thirty-two great warships occu-
pied four long columns of eight each,
the Americans taking the place OF
honor in the forefront, the Japanese
Immediately behind them and heading
due south. AS soon as the feet came
to anchor, a reception committee and
attaches of the various foreign en-
bassies and legations and the mayor of
Yokohama put off from shore for the
flagship Connecticut.

BULGARIAN SITUATION.

Quick work by French diplomats in
duced Turkey and Bulgaria to suspend
their mobilization orders and averted
war for the time at least.
The Bulgarian cabinet decided to re-
ject the proposal emanating from Lon
don for the payment of indemnity to
Turkey as a condition of recognizing
Bulgaria's independence.
Turkey fears Bulgaria's military ac-
tivity will yet bring on war and de-
clines to be responsible for the re-
suit. Great Britain, France and Rus
sia agreed on a program to be sub
mitted to the other powers as basis
for the proposed conference.
Germany has assured Turkey she
will follow the lead of England in the
matter of the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, so that Austria-Hungary
stands alone. The Servian govern
ment believes war will be avoided.

Vaughan's opinion does not count for
much now, anyway, was embodied in
the defense of moral conditions at the
state university made by Prof. M. E..
Cooley In response to an inquiry by
Mayor Ellis. DR.. Vaughan's criticism
of conditions at the school is given a
fat DENIAL by Prof. Cooley, who added:
'Dr. Vaughan no longer believes in
baseball, football, any sort of athletics
or any relaxation at the college. He
opposes fraternities and everything
that binds the interest of the alumnus
and the public to the school. But the
public knows that the morals of the
state university are not deserving of
the criticism quoted"

MEDICAL COLLEGE
OPENS WEDNESDAY

Wednesday at u o'clock the opening ex-
ercises for the fifteenth session of the
Birmingham Medical college will be held,
and present indications point to the most
successful opening in the history of the
institution.
Prominent educators will make adj
dresses, Dr. G. W. Macon of Howard coll
lege and DIR. J. II. Phillips, superintend-
ent of the Birmingham public schools, be-
ing among the number. The faculty OF
the college Will be the same last year,
and the programme will include talks by
several of the members.
From the present outlook the attendance
at the college this year will hover around
the 200 mark, being an increase Of about
SO over the last session, when las students
were enrolled. This growth Is considered
remarkable, and the percentage of in
crease is probably twice as great as that
of any other southern college. Should the
figures reach 200 the attendance will be-
double what 1t was for the session Of
1867.
