FOR \ GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The time is rapidly approaching
when the people Of this city viii be
appealed to again for funds to CON

of July celebration. Perth Amboy
had led the state in this regard but
we are no longer alone, and it viii
not be long before there will be no
other way of observing the day.
The world moves and the people
progress with it. The time has
passed when We show out patriotism
by manning and killing our chill
dren; setting fire to houses; fright
ening horses; annoying the sick,
and otherwise making life miser-
able for everybody. The new way
of celebrating the Fourth is a de
cided improvement. That the peo-
pie approve of 1t is shown from the

I must think rapidly, and act as
quickly. Yet, if what Grant had said
was true, that he had already posted
guards on each side the house, then
escape by daylight was practically i'm
possible. From all l could see there
was no concealment close at hand,
and while the fellows were without
arms, yet their numbers were sufficient
to make any attempt at running their
lines extra hazardous. And had much
at risk, or If taken it would be as a
spy, and not a mere prisoner of war.
There was no place for concealment IN
the library, but there might be up
stairs, in the attic, or on the roof.

there could be no better time for such
an experiment than while the three off

Of Peter. Whatever excitement may

bers Of this peculiar household this
model servitor remained with dignity
unruffed. He surveyed me calmly,
rubbing his bald head with one hand.
"You will pardon the delay, sir" he
said calmly. But circumstances have
arisen changing the original plans.

But where, Peter? I don't wish to
be seen by these new arrivals"
Have nc fear, sir" condescendipg-
ly, and with an authoritative wave Of
the hand. The officers are at table,
and will know nothing of our move

l followed meekly enough, and he
led the way up the broad stairs to the
second story, turning to the left in the
upper hall, and coming to a pause be-
fore q partially opened door. A glimpse
within made me deem 1t a music room,
although l could see merely along one

Incident that Threatened to
Make Trouble Is Closed.
SAY WAR SCARE HAS PASSED
Bulgaria Expresses Willingness 70
Make Substantial Notifications
Of Terms Recently Pre-
sented TO the Turks.

London. Nov. 27.--Wom has been
received in Vienna that Herr Pro.
chaska, the Austrian consul at Pris.
rend, who has been missing ever
since that town was captured by the
Servians, is safe, This news was
telegraphed to the Austrian foreign
office from Uskub, II this news is
true there has ended an incident that
might have done much to widen tho
breach between Austria and Servia.
War Scare Passes Temporarily.
Throughout all Europe there swept
today feeling W relaxation. Yester-
days war scare died over night. In
all the capitals where yesterday even
Ing they were calling extras that
spelled war" across their pages
today men awakened to the fact that
after all there wasn't much to hight
about A strip OF sea coast In far
away Albania, the desire of little
Servla for an Adriatic seaport, and
the jealousy OF Austria, were surely
not matters important enough to
plunge all Europe into war. So the
scare, that had been used by stock
manipulators for the most part, died
the death and there was nothing but
talk of moderation on the streets and
In the chencellories.
In the meantime, from the little
town near the Tchataldia lines where
the plenpotentiaries Of Turkey and
the allies have set them down to talk
OF peace while the armies rest comes
scanty news,
Bulgaria May Tighten Conditions.
A statement that may have been
authorized by the bulgarian govern
ment has been telegraphed from
Sofia, II says that Bulgaria IL anxious
to convince Europe of the reasonable
ness OF her earnest wish for peace.
Bulgaria will be ready to make Inn
portant notifications OF her condt-
tions. The Bulgars. says this state
ment. regard essentials ms more i'm
portant than forms and are quite
willing TO spare the feelings OF the OF
toman as far as possible.
Subject to certain conditions the
withdrawal OF the Turks from the
Tchataldia forts might not be In
sisted upon and the present demand
for the surrender Of Adrianople might
be modified. II satisfactory guaran-
tees were given that the garrison
there would fight no more the garrl-
son might be allowed to march out.
Thus the statement ends: BE
lieving that the powers are sincerely
deslrous that peace be restored and
maintained. Bulgaria and her allies
are willing to do everything possible
to bring about such consummation."
Proposals for Settlement.
In diplomatic circles here II Is said
that Turkey has presented to the Bull
sarian plenipotentiaries as basis for
an agreement acceptable to Turkey.
the following terms:
First, no war indemnity.
Second, the retention OF all that ter
ritory belonging to Turkey In Europe,

Third, the maintenance OF the SOW
