His bail of s15O0 given by bonding company was forfeited. A bench warrant for Bran denburg's arrest was immediately issued
 At a late hour tonight no trace of Bran denburg had been found.
 Samuel P Thomas, Brandenburg's attor- ney, said he had received no word from his client since last night when he had a telephonic conversation with him and was in ignorance of the writer's where abouts
 The present case against Brandenburg grew out of the selling by him of an ar ticle purporting to have been written by the late Grover Cleveland. and represent ing him as advocating the election of William H. Taft. After it's publication the article was widely circulated as cam paign literature. The article was brought to the attention of Mrs. Cleveland who is alleged to have declared it apocryphal and an investigation ensued which result ed in the indictment of Brandenburg on a charge of grand larceny in the second degree, preferred by the Times

WAR CLOUDS ARE
 DRIFTING AWAY Turkey and Bulgaria Have Come to An Agreement RUSSIA COLLECTS MONEY Bulgaria Is To Pay Over the siMeenl Million Dollars To Russia Which Will Settle Claims Against
 Turkey
RUSSIA COLLECTS MONEY

St. Petersburg. February 1.-The Turko- Bulgarian deadlock over the amount of money to be paid Turkey by Bulgaria be- cause of the Bulgarian declaration of in dependence is practically broken and the war clouds in southeastern Europe have been dissipated by the acceptance of a plan proposed by Russia, which reconciles in a novel manner the Turkish claim Of S24,OO0oOO and the Bulgarian offer Of S16, 100000.
 This plan is based on the war indemnity of S1,6J0,000 a year, which in accordance with the Berlin treaty of 1878. Turkey is to pay Russia for a hundred years.
 The payments bear no interest. The Russian proposal is to remit them until Turkish claim against Bulgaria is satis- fled. Russia will collect instead S16 400, 600 from Bulgaria in similar installments. These payments will bear interest and the amount of this interest will recoup Russia. Bulgaria has formally assented to this proposal and the Russian government has assurances that the plan is satisfactory to the Turkish government
 The settlement of the Turko- Bulgarian difficulties, it is stated in well informed circles, involves recognition of the king dom of Bulgaria, whose proclamation of independence precipitated the crisis.
 As soon as the details of the arrange ment have been worked out, the protocols will be signed.
 It is understood that Turkey will take the lead in recognizing Emperor Ferdi- nand. not waiting for conference of the powers to do so.

AGED MAN SUFFERS
 TERRIBLE BURNS

Columbus, Miss, February 1.-(Spe- cial)-W R. Barry, father-in-law of B. D. Erwin, secretary of the City Furni- ture company, and one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of the county fell into the fire today and was so badly burned that it will probably be necessary to ampltate one of his hands He was sitting in front of the grate poking the fire when he fell to- wards the chimney, both hands being thrust into the live coals in the grate The heavy arm chair in which he had been sitting fell so as to pinion him down, and he could not move until re- leased from his painful position by members of the household. Assistance was a long time coming, as the door was locked on the inside, and 1t was necessary for Bruce Nelson. with whom MT. Barry lives, to break open a window in order to gain entrance to the apartment. MT. Barry was taken to MT. Ervin's home on South Seventh avenue, and Is being carefully nursed but it is probable that his left hand will have to be amputated.f

GREAT FLEET IN HARBOR

Gibraltar, February For one hour this morning the port of Gibraltar seemed to be the scene of naval en- gagement at close range. The Ameri- can battleships that arrived yesterday were exchanging salutes with the shore and the foreign war ships in the har- bor that were omitted because of Sun day. The Connecticut saluted the port and the flag of Vice Admiral Sir James Goodrich the commander of all the naval establishments at Gibraltar, with 21 guns, and when these had been re- turned gun for gun from a shore bat tery and the British battleship Abe marie, other salutes were fired and am swered by the Russian, French and Dutch warships in port.
 The Rhode Island and the New Jer- sey came into port at 10 o'clock this morning and were followed an hour later by the fourth division, the Wis consin, Illinois, Kearsage and Ken lucky, which anchored outside the breakwater. The third division, con- sisting of the Louisiana. Missouri, Ohio and Virginia, brought up the rear and presented a beautiful picture as they steamed in, glistening in the sunlight and in their signal flags cracking 1n the smart breeze. The warshp basin is too small to permit the entrance of the entire American fleet, consequently some of the vessels had to anchor out side. Rear Admiral Sperry, accom- panied by the members of his staff. came ashore at noon and called of ficially upon Gen. Sir Frederick For estier- Walker the military governor. guard of honor met the admlral's launch at Kings Stairs and escorted the carriages of the Americans to the naval residence of the governor.
 The American officers listened to many congratulatory words from the British and other foreign officers who visited the ships. The official Chron- icle concludes a laudatory technical ar ticle upon the remarkable homogeneity of the fighting ships with a statement that the American navy now ranks sec ond to the British.

RussIa,s Plan Approved.

London. February "A dispatch to the Times from St. Petersburg says that the powers have approved Rus sia's plan for the payment Of the Turkish claim against Bulgaria, which Is to cancel sufficient installments of the Turkish war indemnity to enable Turkey to borrow the sum of 125 ,000.- 900 francs ($25 100000 demanded from Bulgaria. Bulgaria undertaking to re- imburse Russia to the extent of 3D. 900 ,O0O francs ($18, 100000 by the an nual payment of 5000 900 francs for in- terest and sinking fund.
 Thus instead of receiving 5000. 900 francs yearly from Turkey, Russia will draw 5,0O0,000 from Bulgaria.
 In an editorial the Times says with reference to "Russia's sacrifice in Bull garia's interest,""
 Seldom has 1t seemed possible to at tain so many and such varied ends of high importance at so small an outlay. Russia may well be proud of the min ister who conceived so statesmanlike a design. NJ. Iswolsky has taken a step which deserves the gratitude and ad- miration of all Europe"

Letters From the People
~NO LEGAL RIGHT TO HIRE ORI-
ENTAILS


Editor Call: In your issue OF the
Goth inst, under the title Of NO Legal
Right to Hire Orientals," observed an
item referring to section of areicle
XIX of the constitution OF the state OF
California. seeming to forbid corpor-
ations to employ Chinese or MOngolians
and speaking of an effort OF the Anti
Japanese laundry league to procure
legislation to enforce that provision.
The idea of the league is not at all
new. 1t was fully considered in the
case In re Parrot, reported in Federal
Reporter, 4S1. where it was held that
this CLAUSE OF our state constitution is
unconstitutional. 1t was so decided b.
the circuit court Of the district OF Cal
ifornia in March, 1880, on the ground
that such a provision of the state con-
stitution is in conflict with the treaty
between the United States and China
and is therefore void.
perhaps the members OF the Anti
Japanese laundry league will be inter-
ested In learning through your columns
that such is the case and that attempts
70 bring about legislation OF that char
acter would be idle. Yours truly.
