 .The dust problem was the main sup feet of discussion around Birmingham yesterday, and the tenor of the talk was one long complaint and a demand that something be done immediately to allevi- ate the condition; that the Board of Al dermen should hold a meeting immedl- ately and take stringent steps in the mat ter. That, the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, whose cars are charged with stirring up more dust than any other vehicle, should water every hit of their trackage was the consensus of opinion among nearly everyone ap- preached by Age-Herald representatives. Quite number of aldermen nave eA- pressed this sentiment. Especially among the members of the street commit tee is this feeling to be found
 .sThe Birmingham Railway Light ana Power company should by all means sprinkle every bit of their track, whether the city is sprinkling the particular streets or not" said Alderman John w oNeili of the Second ward. ''They have such valuable franchise that they should not offer the slightest kick on doing this. l am very much in favor of passing an or dinance compelling them to do this and will introduce one to this effect at the next meeting.
 q think also the city should make every effort to sprinkle every portion of the city. We are up against proposition however, in the shape of a low city treas ury, and it will take the s40O.0oo bond issue to put the city in shape. We can pay oH the debts of the various annexed towns and buy a large number of additional sprinkiers. The four carts which the finance committee authorized the mayor to purchase this morning should help some but the city needs a great many more The street cars do much to raise the dust, which could be done away with by the companys sending its sprinkling cars over them a few times during the day"
 Norwood Makes Suggestion
 Alderman Sid Norwood of the Fifteenth ward embracing West End, expresses the same opinion, and also offers solution for the suppressing of the dust evil.
 Tt strikes me that the street car com pany should sprinkle all of its track" ;" said Mir Norwood. We are pretty well fixed in this regard out in West End. though we still have quite bit of dust there. Before we came into Birmingham. however, we passed ordinances requiring the company to sprinkle it's track, and l think similar ordinance should be passed by the Birmingham council with reference to all of the tracks.
 "In my opinion the real solution of the dust problem is in the use, of asphalt oil. I am going to introduce a resolution, and have had 1t in mind for some time, re- quiring all macadamized road which the city may build in the future to have a dressing of this oil, and also for the city

Sol Caheen said: This dust proposition ie something fierce. Great clouds of dust laden with all degrees of filth and genera tions of germs, move up the principal streets of the city in great and almost impenetrable columns. The main streets at times look like a sandy desert swept by the arid winds of the tropics. The condition is not only dangerous to health, but is a serious handicap to business. The merchants suffer great damage to their stocks of goods"

CRISIS IN BALKANS
BULGARIA ANTICIPATES CONFLICT
WITH TURKEY AND Is PRE-
PAIRING FOR WAR.
Bulgarian People Have Become Inbued
With Idea That Their Army ls

to Defense Of Macedonia.

Paris.-Another dangerous crisis in
the Balkans has been narrowly but
perhaps only temporarily avoided, ac-
cording to well-informed diplomatic
circles here, where for months it has
been an open secret that Bulgaria
was determined to try conclusions
with Turkey over the question Of
Macedonia, either to win the province
outright or, at least, to secure auto
nomy for the rest Of European Tur-
key.
Bulgaria for years has made great
sacrifices to equip the army which she
now possesses, always with the idea Of
inevitable war with Turkey. The Bull
garian people have gradually become
imbued with the belief that their army
is invincible, and the acquisition Of
her own independence has left them
dissatisfied with their Christian broth
ers in Macedonia, should they remain
under the domination Of Turkey. They
also realize that they cannot long sus-
tain the burden of the army on its
present footing. For the king, also, a
successful war would mean the con-
solidation of the position of a dynasty
imposed upon the Bulgarian people by
the powers. For both the king and the
people, therefore, 1t appeared to be
