Wounded Lie in Field.

An extraordinary feature of conditions
behind the Turkish lines at Tchatalja is
the Indifference of the army to the pres
ence of unauthorized visitors. Any for
eigner wearing either a fez or a Euro
pean hat may hire a vehicle and drive TO
the Turkish entertainments and inspect
the troops. There apears to be no Gordon
to prevent fugitives from returning to
Constantinople.
Several foreign officers who visited the
lines Thursday and Friday report the
situation hopeless. The trenches are only
partly dug. A huge pile of barbed wire
is stacked near the endangered northern
wingsnever having been put to use. The
troops, for the most part, are unable to
work because cholera-infected soldiers
are keeping watch in the earthworks.
Innumerable sick lie groaning in the
fields to the rear, some of them in their
last agonies. Countless chorela-infected
fugitives are struggling back on the fan
shaped road toward Hademkeui from the
outer forts. Thousands of patients and
hundreds of dead lie on the ground arounf
Hademkeui.

CONDITION
AT CONSTANT|NOPLE
BATTLE OUTSIDE THE CITY IS
FOUGHT ALL DAY.
POWERS PREVENT MASSACRE
Authorities Seem Powerless to Cope With
Cholera Situation-Wounded Lie in
Fields Without Attention,

Constantinople.-The great battle be-
tween the Bulgarians and Turks is on all
along the line OF the T~chatalja fortifca-
lions.
All through the day the sound of the
heavy guns was heard in Constantinople.
1t ceased only with darkness.
The Turkish batteries replied vigor-
ously. The Turkish ships in the Sea of
Marmora shelled the Bulgarian positions.
Undoubtedly the fleet in the Black sea
also took part in the engagement, though
"details from that point are lacking.
The refugees behind the lines began
breaking camp early in the day and
moved back toward Constantinopls. The
Greek villagers, who heretofore had re,
manned admirably Indifferent to events
prepared to desert their homes. While
calm prevailed, there was a deadly ten
sion in the knowledge Of the fate of the
capital, the Turkish army and thos'
who waited anxicusly in Constantinopb
was at stake.
Ambassadors Are Busy.
Within the city every military precau
ton was taken. Pickets were posted a
various points and patrols guarded tn
streets. The ambassadors held a meet
ing at the foreign ministry with the CON
manders of the Ottoman gendarmerie an
devised measures for the safety of fol
eigners.
The sanitary board at a meeting urge
that steps be taken to prevent tn
armies now facing each other at Tcha
ALA from entering the capital owing t
the cholera epidemic. The resolution I
that effect was proposed by the BIRTHS
delegate.
Cholera Beyond Control.
There are now more than a thousar
cases of cholera daily in and around Co
stantinople and the death rate has reac
ed so per cent. The authorities a
powerless to cope with the situation.
On Thursday 5000 cholera patien
arrived by train at San Stefano. TIT
would have been brought here but f
the protests of the railway company al
the Austrian amba ssador, who ask
that they be sent to the Lazarettos
Becos and Ismidt.
For twenty-four hours the patients
manned in the train on a siding at S
Stefano without water, food or medic
i attention. Then they were shipped
2 the quarantine station. If they h
been of the lower order OF animals tn
could not have been more neglected.
A foreign doctor assisting in the n
}, itary hospital discovered by aceidt
that five soldiers dying of cholera h
been placed among the wounded. He
dered their removal. Bearers took
the dying men on their shoulders, I
their condition was such that he order
the bearers to drop them. This they
orally did and the u~nfortunates W
left lying in the mud for an hour, gro
II ing and in convultions before they W

Why Women May

The question, shall women propose,

Two prominent pastors, ministers of

The Princess Eulalie, in her much

yocate the same thing. She says that
the present prominence of the mem
hers of the male species is due to the
times in which women were free TO
select the fathers of their children, a
system of selection which developed
the best male types. But has there
ever been a time when it was unlaw-

certainly propcr today for a woman to
propose to a man. 1t is no Sin to ask
a man to marry her no more than it
is. a sin for a. man to ask q woman 10
marry him. It is a wcman's priv
lege to ask as many mon as 1t pleases
her, Some prudes might think tt
would be slightly immodest, but that
would not alter matters IN the least.
In this matter women are contendfn@
for a right that is already theirs, il
they want to exercise it. No neR

on the whole, we are inclined to think
that they would he quite as success

Rev. Mr.. Fc1zin also alleges that he
did not know the real value of the land
bought and claims fraud in the matter.
