ATHENS. December 81, 1910.
Belief in the report that Bulgaria is
arranging a loan and making extensive
warlike preparations is strengthened by
the recent news that Bulgarians in the
province of Uskub are treated SO cruelty
by the Turks that they are daily ex-
pected to emigrate en- masse.
Serious trouble is expected in the
spring, as it is certain that the Bulgarian
bands will attempt to get revenge. The
director of Bulgarian school in the
province of Veliseo, named Lano Kosseff,
has been murdered, and the chief mag
istrate of the district is suspected of COM
plicity in the crime.
A committee of Albanian students has
taken the opportunity of protesting to
civilized Europe against the tyrannical
policy of the Young Turks. who, it is
alleged, are using every means to sup
press any awakening of culture and ma
tional aspiration of the Albanian people.

PARIS, December 81, 1910.
The Able Lemire has tabled a bill In

man kills his antagonist he shall be liable
to Imprisonment for from one to five
years and a fine of from 5000 to $1,000.
A challenge is, also, according to the
abbe's proposal. to entail a term of from
six days to three months Imprisonment
and a fine, and the same penalty is to be
inflicted on any person making a public
statement that another person has re-
fused to fight a duel
The seconds are to be liable to the same

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS. December 80 1910.
For some time past a large amount OF
counterfeit coin has been circulating in
certain districts of Paris, and the police
have at last succeeded in tracking the
coiners to their factory.
Two men were traced to a small hotel
where they made the coin. and the police
raided the place. They had to break open
the door of a little room, and on entering
they found two men. who had been dis
turbed in the manufacture of coins, both
of gold and silver"
On seeing the police the two men seized
ugiy-looking weapns. One picked up a long
steel file with sharp point, and the other
snatched up a bayonet. They were about
to make a desperate fight to escape, and
came menacingiy toward the policemen.
At this moment the officers drew their
revolvers and the coiners surrendered.

asked to keep these chaplains Informed
of families within the parishes who in
tend to come to the United States. II
the immigrants are of the desirable class.
