SON TELLS MOTHER.

A most touching scene occurred be-

powager Queen Margarita. She was
waiting at the Pantheon for their
majesties. When the king and queen
came they gave no hint of what had
occurred. All assisted at mass, and
when Il was over the king himself

Mail Franks Cause p. o. Deficit.

Political campaign material trans.

mails accounted, according to postof.

ference between a postal surplus and
a postal deficit for the last fiscal year,
ending June 30. An account of franked
mail forwarded for congress, the ex-

eminent establishments shows that
postage at the ordinary rate on this
matter would have netted the govern
ment nearly $20,0O0,OO0. About $780,
600 of this would have been paid on
political documents.
The postal service handled during

AUSTR|A'S ARMY OUT

GOVERNMENT.
PEACE MOVE BY BULGARIANS
ConciIiatory Attitude Adopted To-
wards Turks and Demands Will Be
Modified-Envoys Named at Sofia
to Meet Those of SuItan's.

London, Nov. 23.-The first classes
Of the reserves of six Austro-Hun-
garian army corps have been called to
the colors, according to dispatch
from Vienna. Three of these army
corps are stationed in the north and
three in the southeast of the empire.
Constantinople, Nov. 23.-Fighting
continues along the entire line of for
tiflcations at Tchatalja. The Bulga-
rians are continuing their efforts to
break through the Turkish lines, but
have been prevented from doing so by
the fire of the Turkish warships.
Peace Move by Bulgarians.
London, Nov. 23.-"Come and take
them," the defiant reply of the Turks
to the demand made by the allied Bal
kan nations for the evacuation of the
line of Notifications at Tchatalja, III
front of Constantinople, is not be-
lieved in diplomatic circles necessari-
ly to mean the end of the negotiations
for an armistice, even though fight
ing has been resumed.
From Sofia comes word that the vic
torious invaders are likely to modify
their conditions. The European pow
ers at the same time are eXerting
themselves to induce the nations COM
posing the Balkan league to bring
their terms more into line with the
facts of the situation, and to arrange
a treaty which will give them all they
have conquered, but will leave out
that which has not been conquered.
Tide Turns in Turks Favor.
Compared with it's earlier disas-
trous experiences, the Turkish army
evidently now considers itself in a IA
vorable position. Military experts
here see in the at least temporary
failure Of the Bulgarian rush into Con-
stantinople signs of reaction among
the invaders after their sustained eff
forts of the last month.
In view Of the fact that the Otto
man capital, even If captured, must
ultimately be evacuated in accordance
it appears that the allies have nothing
to gain by insisting on the surrender
of the lines which form virtually the
gates of the city.
Hence the hope expressed by diplo-
mats that this demand will be with
drawn, in which case it is thought
that Turkey, recognizing that she has
no prospect of taking the offensive for
the recovery OF her lost territory,
would quickly conclude that she has
nothing TO gain by continuing the con-
fiict.
Peace Move by Bulgaria.
The announcement from Sofia of the
appointment of Bulgarian plenipoten-
tiaries to discuss the terms Of an ar
mistice with the Turkish ENJOYS tends
to confirm the contention of diplomats
that the Ottoman rejection VI the first
terms proposed by Bulgaria has not
barred the door to further negotia-
tons.
Now that the delegates have been
appointed 1t is expected here that for
