A telegram from Nazim Pacha reads'
There was no serious fighting TO-
day. A slight cannonade and fusillade
were exchanged at the right ana lelt

Truly Oriental Expedisnt.
# is generally believed that the OBJ
tect Of the authorities in quartering
nearly two thousand cholera patients IN
the Mosque Of st. Sophia is to deter any
enemies from setting foot within the
building. The talk I'm the Sofia papers
regarding the celebration Of TIE Deums
in that historic pile undoubtedly pro-
duced an impression on the Turkish
government, which resorted to this
truly Oriental expedient of thwarting
such a design.
a letter from Drama says that long
before the Bulgarians approached the
town the authorities were seized with
panic, and besought the foreign con-
suls TO arrange a peaceful surrender.
Next day the Governor, the military
commander and the commander of the
cendarmerie, attired in multi, aban-
doned the place, while many of the
soldiers and gendarmerie initiated their
example.

TELLS OF BULGAR RETREAT
Unable to Hold Advanced Posi-
ton, Correspondent Declares.

London, Nov 21.-Martin II, Donohue,
telegraphing to "The Chronicle" from
Hademketri under date of November 49,
says:
/ The fortune Of war, provcrbially vark
able, has now turned decidedly in favor
of the Turks who have gained the hrst

stand.
| The Bulgarians were unable to hold the

tranquility prevails to-day, with occa-

There is. however. great difference be-

hope to do seems to be to bring on a con-

PLENIPOTENTIARIES TO
DISCUSS TERMS TO-DAY
Turkish, Bulgarian and Servian
Commanders Order Cessa-
ton of Hostilities.

London. Nov. 20.-The war has
shifted for a time from the field of arms
TO that of diplomacy. 1t may be that
the war is near to an end. Plenipoten-
tiaries for the belligerent powers VIII
meet tomorrow at the village ofHadem-
keui a few miles outside the capital,
for a preliminary discussion OF the
terms Of an armistice.
In the mean time, the Turkish, Bull
garian and Servian commanders have
ordered a cessation Of hostilities, al
though cannonading, which Nazim
Pacha reports as unimportant occurred
this morning.
The sweeping terms which the allies
were said to have demanded yesterday
as a basis for the armistice appear not
to have been advanced. but the pleni-
potentiaries may not know the levels OF
the platform until they meet for the
discussion, and it is almost certain that
it will be on the basis Of the Balkan
States holding all the conquered coun-
try until a permanent treaty of peace
is signed.
How many vestiges Of his former
power they are prepared to concede the
Turk depends largely on two factors
the strength and supplies of the allied
army threatening the gates Of Constan-
tinople and the extent to which the
cholera spectre has embarrassed their
plans.
Great Transport Difficulties.
II is certain that great transport DIFF
ficulties hamper the Bulgarian army on
account of the distance from Its base
and the rough roads. The cholera Is
counted on by the Turks to weaken
the Bulgarian ambition for triumphal
march into the capital and the celebra-
assurance doubly sure the Turk has
resorted to the amazing plan Of trans
forming the mosque into pesthouse
and has crowded 1000 cholera stricken
patients within Its walls.

How Shall Our Streets
Be Maintained?

The citizens of Tupelo are con-
fronted with the problem of put
ting their streets in a better con-
dition, a condition in keeping
with the progress of the town.
There are only two ways of rails
ing the money for this purpose
One, a bond issue; the other by
direct taxation. Experience and
observation have taught that the
bond issue has proven the cheap
est and most satisfactory.
Reproducing the figures pub
lished in last weeks paper we
find that the town p e n t
'$12, 44.39 for the years 1909 and
1910. on the streets. The i'm
provements made were only tenn
porary.
This sum is more than twice
the interest on the bonds neces-
sary to be issued to put the
streets in first class condition.
Such improvements would be of
a permanent nature and thereby
reduce the cost of maintaining
the streets In the future to a tri-
fling sum. Tne question arises:
Isn't the bond issue the cheap
est method of improving the
streets, for it is incumbent on
the city authorities to take some
immediate steps to improve exist
ing condition. If not by the bond
issue, then by a direct tax, with
which authority they are vested.
Now, Mr.. Opponentof the bond
issue, would you prefer that your
taxes be increased to that figure
which would produce enough rev.
enue to furnish funds to i'm
prove our streets as they should
be and must be, or vote for the
bond issue which would not in
crease the tax rate more thar
l mill for the next three or -four
years, after which time, the rev.
enue received from our public
utilities will be of such volume ae
to admit of a reduction in taxes.
The question is up to you.

Greatest Atlantic Liner
Wrecked by Iceberg.

New York, April Is. - The
White Star liner Titanic, the
worlds greatest steamship, has
gone down some 500 miles off
Cape Race with $50 of her 1900
passengers and her full crew of
$50 men on board.
That the greatest catastrophe
in marine history has occurred
to vessel of their line is ad-
mitted late tonight by the Of
fcials of the White Star Steam
ship Company in New York.
The liner Carpathia, the first
vessel to come within sight of
the Titanic, rescued all the I'll
tanic's lifeboats, in which were
67O persons, most of them women
and children. Many women and
children. however, have perish
ed.
When the Carpathia reached
the illfated vessel no sign of life
was to be seen anywhere, the
mountainous ocean swells giving
mute evidence to the stupendous
disaster.
Early reports stated that all
the passengers and the crew OF
the Titanic had been taken Oft
by the Allen liners Virginian and
the Partisan and the Carpathia,
but wireless messages received
here tonight discredit these re-
ports in every detail.
That the sinking of the Titanic
was witnessed from the bridge
of the Carpathia, which was
leading the Partisan and the Vir-
ginia to the rescue, is believed
here tonight. That the vessel
was seen through the glasses of
the Carpathia's captain to be
ahoat is regarded as the source
of these early encouraging re-
ports. e Is"
No hope is held out at the
offices Of the White Star line
that any man on board has sur
vived to tell the story of the
final sinking of the leviathan,
although some of the women in
the boats may have witnessed
the sinking. Only by miracle,
it is pointed out, could any per-
son who stood by the ship escape
the great vessels powerful sue
ton as she sank to the bottom.
The Titanic carried the most
notable list of passengers ever
borne across the Atlantic by one
vessel. Homecoming American
tourists arranged their sailings
weeks ago so as TO ride on the
new wonder of the seas on her
maiden voyage.
Tonight's dispatches state that
the Titanic went down at 2::20
o'clock this morning. The delay
in the transmission OF the news
is attributed to the fact that all
dispatches have been subject to
difficult relays.

Russian Music.

1
Symphony Orchestra, Of New
York. for the second time. We'd
nesday afternoon. April "a, has
stimulated local interest in the
music of the great group of Slav
composers whose works are the
most monumental of the modern
school. Russian music today
holds unique place. In spite of
its general atmosphere of gloom,
an attribute not to be expected to
recommend it to pleasure loving
cosmopolitans, it seems to reach
and stir the emotions more than
the music of any other people.
Audiences the world over sit as
in a spell when Tschaikowsky's
''Pathetique" symphony is
played, and it has by no means
been an uncommon sight to see
tears streaming down the face of
some sensitive listener. Its final
movement, the apotheosis of
grief and despair, has been ac-
claimed the most overwhelming
finale in all music literature.
One critic has explained the ap-
peal of Russian music by the fact
that it is the closest to the soil.
While the great Slav composers
have been gifted with the most
advanced culture and musical
grounding, they have used for
their themes the folk songs in
which their land is so rich, their
art in composition enhancing
rather than diminishing the prim-
tive appeal of these peasant mel
odies. Russian music, from the
standpoint Of finished production,
lis but 70 years or so old, but its
melodies-the folk songs-have
many of them come down from
pagan times. Today there is
nixea that echoes back to barha-
riSn and Tartary in the aDpeal
of Russian music.
1t is said that in Italy every
one sings for the JOY of living
and out. Of lightness Of heart. In
Russia, also the plodder Of the
field opens his heart in song, but
is the expression Of gloomy
emotions repressed through the
centuries. Most Russian music
is intense in it's melancholy.
| When not sad it goes to the op-
posite extreme, and finds express
sion in a vein of violent. boiste-
rous humor. such as the Russian
peasant exhibits when vodka has
fired his blood and lifted the
morbidness from his plodding
faculties. The sad themes have
ever been favorites with the CON-
posers, and an atmosphere of
hopelessn sS pervaCrs much OF
their representative writings.
Other than its melancholy char
acteristics, the chief tendencies
of Russian music are toward gor-
geous Oriental coloring, with
elaborate figuration, especially in
the bass; strongly marked ry-
thms, often with surprising
shifts from one cadence to an
other; peculiar grace notes and
| frequent use of melismas; inter-
walls pertaining to the pure minor
scale; augmented and chromatic
progressions; archaic harmonies;
periods Of uneven numbers of
measures and many repitions of
the same phrase, all of which
