and killing others. There is now
nothing save these disorganized flee

rgarians in their ~conquering march
toward the capital of their enemies
Victories Lead to Final Assault.
Flushed with the increasing total of
victories, the Bulgarian troops, under
the direction Of King Ferdinand, de-
tcided that it would not be necessary
to await the arrival of the reinforce
rments which have already started
. from Sofia. The grating hatred
which the Bulgars feel toward the
Turks fed fire to the zeal of the sol
diers and after testing the mettle of
the defensive army by pressing them
three days King Ferdinand decided on
/ one assault The Turks had been
yielding to his varied attacks during
these days, SO he piled all his forces
on top of the Turks in a sweeping as
sault.
The Turks resisted as best they
could, but the soldiers are weak from
lack of food, disheartened by defeat,
fin ri
hardships during the few weeks of
the war and at last were pushed from
their positions. The retreat OF the
Turks began in confusion, which in
creased as the Bulgarians pressed
home their attacks, and at last the
Turks broke into a sprint for their
capital, throwing away their packs
and arms to increase their speed.
Porte Anxious for Peace.
The effect on the Porte is that it is
fastening it's Efforts for peace. The
cabinet wants it on any terms, pro
vided it is granted quickly
The cabinet decided to give free
rein to the powers in arranging fDl
a cessation CT hostilities
The loss Of the Tchataldja lines of
defenses became known in COnstan-
tfnople just after the war department
got news of the surrender of Sa1onika
and news OF other Turkish losses
throughout European Turkey. SelOni-
ka has been making a gallant defense,
but the Greeks have been attacking
it in so wholesouled a manner that it
has been known for several days that
the Turkish garrison could not with
stand it.
The Turkish commander would not
trust his men to surrender, SO he AMI
his army simply abandoned the
town, burning down several bridges
to prevent pursuit.
Look for Massacre of Christians.
The situation for the Turks defend
ing Scutari, makes it appear iTnpos-
sible that there is much hope foe
them.
The situation in Constantinople is
growing in desperation every day.
Every Christian who can do SO IS
leaving the capital. There are GOO,
600 Christians in the town normally.
Those who know the Turks and the
conditions are sure that a general
massacre will start, and that thou
sands of Christians must lose their
lives.

GENERAL NEWS.

NEW YCRk-There is quite a di-
ve1slty of opinion and yet very little
open expression among Democrats OF
the national committee and OK others
who participated in the presidential
contest which resulted in Governor
Wilson's election, over proposed
new tariff bill, when it should be in
troduced in the house of representa-
tives. This state of affairs has been
ascertained since election day
One of the principal features of the
Democratic presidential campaign
was the tariff. Many believe that it
was the chief factor. However that
may be, it is now known since the
Democratic victory that influential
Democrats are averse to introducing
a tariff bill to take the place of the
Payne-Aldrich law.

Gated the grewsome assassination OF a
week ago-hut this time it was only for
the moving pictures.
The actors did more firing and made
more noise, and caused almost as much
fuss as the real outlaws did. and Hills

tion for their services was brisk. The
pictures we're finally made after much
rchearsing while the camera men clicked
off the reels and the stage manager

hills.

for all that most folk here know. has not

The posse which left here so hurriedly
on Tuesday night has not been seen or
heard from since. 1t is now known that
the hunters will not quarter in HillsVille
but will stay out in the mountains and
camp on the trail OF the outlaws.
This latest move supports the theory
that the two small posses which have
been operating in and out or town were
merely blinds to conceal the movements
of a larger posse which has been secretly
brought over into the mountains from
the coal fields and that the detectives
have been feinting with the smaller
posses for the benefit of those friends Of
the Aliens who are supposed 10 nave

Meanwhile the countryside is on the
tiptoe of fear and excitement. Women
do not venture out after dark; neither
do a great many men. Children are kept
