DEFENSE

Adrianople, March 22., (By Wire to
Constantinople).- .-Shukri Pasha, COM
mander of this fortress and troops de-
termined to continue the defense now
carried for FIVE months and all reports
regarding offers by them to surrender
may be dismissed as pure inventions.
Only starvation and force can capture
the garrison.
Food is still regularly distributed
among the populace by the military
authorities and there are considerable
supplies. Perfect order prevails with
in the city.
The Bulgarian besiegers are making
no progress and their occasional as
saults are futile. The intermittent
bombardment has done no harm to the
defending fort.
Discord is said to prevail among the
allied armies. The Servians brought
UP to assist the Bulgarians in siege re-
main idle in their lines and are not
participating in the active operations
Reports from Sofia that Shukri
Pasha ordered the Greek and Armenian
bishops hanged because they had
drawn attention to alleged miseries of
the population, are groundless. 1t
aroused indignatio here, the two pre-
Iates themselves being the most ener-
getic in protesting against the story.
They extoll the courtesy of the COM
mander, praising his solicitude for the
naval and military population Of the

This proposed law abolisles spec

thereby effects most radical change
in the existing statute on the subject
without corresponding benefits. Our
present law on the subject is of long
standing, having been adouted In
1863 as a part OF the code of civil
procedure borrowed from the Field
code of New York state, and it is in
harmony with the practice in most,
IL not all, the cOce states, or those
having the reformed procedure. The
fact that it has stood the test Of this
long period OF time-forty- years
without material change Is quite
persuasive proof that 1t is meritori-

it would seem that Ii would have been

cell at the central police station while
detectives searched the city for him.
Okstad was wanted for passing a
sis forged check in a saloon on

Demands
New York Club May Become
Embarrassed

New York, March 22.--The recon-
sideration which the Royal Ulster
Yacht club asked from the New York
Yacht club to make its refusal or ac-
ceptance of the Upton challenge for
the American cup may place the local
club in an embarrassing position.
1t is indicated Upton may eliminate
any condition from challenge but
challenging with seventy-five footer,
he will enter the race, if it is possible
TO obtain one, against any challenger
from 60 to 80 feet in length, as pro-
vided in the deed gift Of Americas

Yachtsmen express openly that if
this proposition made, the New York
club will be forced to accept the chal-
lenge and if 80 foot boat is used
as the defender, the American yachts
men win be held up to ridicule.

George w. McCmsky. for many
years called "Chesty George" by
those who did not like the famous
police inspector of New York. it
has just been discovered left a
fortune of more than three
quarters of a. million. The lowest
salary received by McClusky dur
ing his thirty years as a blueCoat
were $500 a year and the highest
$500. sr..
The sources OF McClusky's. in
come above his salary are not
known, but in the tenderloin there
are very positive opinions about
it. For a long time he was in
charge of the tenderloin district,
and then the gambling houses and
similar institutions never closed.
McClusky during his lifetime oc-
casionatly dropped a hint about
Wall street speculation. IT is
known that he had many wealthy
men among his friends, and it is
possible that some of them gave
him tips on the market. Since the
inspector divided his wealth among
his three sisters before his death
there was no will filed, and moth
ing definite could be learned about
about his fortune.
