CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 21.-It is
admitted here tonight that the Bulgar-
ians are established about IL miles from
Adrianople and that big battle is i'm
minent.
TIE governor of Adrianople has issued
proclamation urging residents to bus
band their iood, owing to the possibility
of the investment of the town. He rec
commended these who were able to leave

1t is announced that an important con
centration OF the Bulgarian forces has
taken place at Koestendil, in the south
east of Bulgaria, the objective of which
is doubtless the Stukma valley, the cas-
iest road to the heart of Macedonia.

LONDON, Oct. 2l.-The Sofia CORE
spondence of the Daily Telegraph reports
the Bulgarians have captured Kirk-Kil
issen, which lies to the east of Adrianople
where 10000 Turks surrendered and COM
munication with Constantinople was cut
1t is added, however, that there is no
official confirmation of this. The fight
ing at Piava which vas captured Sunday
by the Montenegrins, was very severe.
According to Ceringe dispatch to the
Standard the Albanians fought desperate

was in flames.
Nine hundred Albanians were killed,
including many women and children who

Report Shows that j. P
Morgan Received $7O,000,-
600 For Organizing.

Washington. D. c., Feb. 28.-That the
Steel corporation operates in restraint
Of trade is the conclusion reached in the
report Of the AIcRay steel trust investi-
cation committee submitted to the house
today. The report finds that the cor
pOratiOn manipulated prices through the
influence of the so called Gary din
ners,' by control of raw materials and
through a system of inteTlOcdng dlrec-
tors in various companies. 1t also tends
TO contradict some of the testimony
given by steel trust officials.
Some OF the figures dealt with IN the
report are startling. 1t is shown that
j. P Morgan & Co. received approx
matelv $50. 100000 in cash profits for
organizing the big steel combine, and
hat the net profits Of the concern for
the first nine years of its existence were
Snore than 81 002,o00. 000
Steel corporation officials objected to
producing their books before the commit
tee In this city, but consented to place
them freely at the disposal of an ex-
7lert 10 be named by the committee. Mr..
AlcRae made a thorough study Of the
hooks and minutes, and in his report to
the committee ne pointed out these
salient features;
That J. p. Morgan & Co., heading the
syndicate which organized the Steel cor
norati0n. received a cash profit of $685.
300 600. of which S62. 500, 600 was for

That the Steel corporation. contrary
to the statement made by Judge Gary
and H. G. FTic6 to president Roosevelt
in 1907 that 1t did not control more than

country, controls about SO percent Of
the steel holdings.
The section Of the report dealing with
the Gary dinners" where independent
as well as Corporation steel men assem-
bled to discuss conditions in the trade,
contains an analysis of the legal effect
Of the golden rule policy prepared. by

Previous pool agreements may have been
broken and penalties inflicted by the
members themselves. although this was
soon discontinued. 1t will be assumed,
even if a fund had not been deposited,
that the men in the old pool would have
paid their fines. If this be assumed, 1t

As showing the result of the policy
OF the Steel corporation to make the
bulk OF its profits in the rawsand semi
finished material, Mr.. AIcRae submitted
a condensed statement Of the dividends
paid by the subsidiary companies TO the
Steel corporation and the interest maid
BY the Carnegie company on its col
lateral trust bonds, from April / 1901
TO April l. 1910, showing a total of
S753. 124, 1858.
Carnegie Company Dividends.
The income from the Carnegie com
pany in dividends and bond Interest ,;
he says, amounted to 1905, 239. 537. 40
or about 40 percent of the total. The
American Bridge COMPANY paid the hold
ing company dividends on its preferred
stock during this period to the amount
of S19, 115.577.50, or two and six-tenths
percent of the total"
Relating to restraint of trade there
are IA conclusions IN the report. one
Of which deals with percentages Of BUSH
ness done by the corporation, and in
Whic hthe ore and other holdings are dis
cussed.
"Deceiving and Misleading"
Percentages Of the business done bv
the United states Steel corporation. the
report says, ARE deceiving and mislead-
ING unless segregated with reference to
particular products. For example. Mr.
Roosevelt refers to an estimate that the
United States Steel CORPORATION did not
have above 60 percent of steel proper
ties or steel holdings, and when he
was asked if Gary and Frick lat the time
OF the purchase of the Tennessee Coal and
Land cOmpanvl said anything about the

tendant to play small politics,
and pay some teachers more
who might happen to be his
special pets. The profession of
teaching. in my estimation, is
the most exalted of all callings.
The teacher should examine him
or herself to find out whether
they are fitted for the profession
of teachSg. No one that regards
teaching in the light of drudgery
should for one moment think OF
desecrating the calling by en-
gaging in the work. The lack OF
appreciation of the advantages
that are offered to those of
educable age is hard to under
stand. | believe the explanation
of it is that the parents and the
teachers do not, in the right
way, impress on the minds of
the children the absolute neces-
sity for an education, if they,
the children, hope to rise above
being the hewers of wood and
the drawers of water. AS an

even through some of the higher

to pass an examination that any
twelve year old boy or girl who
had had access to the common
schools ought to pass. 1t seems
to me that too much attention is
paid to sports OF various kinds,
and not enough in giving the
child proper mental training to
enable it to fight the battles of
life successfully. ii
The public school teachers
should organize for the purpose
of looking after the interest Of
the schools; they should look
carefully after all the legislation

are at stake. Any caE5idate
