non. Albert w. Gilchrist, ex-gov-
ernor of Florida, sends to the Tele-
gram q very long communication IN
the nature of reply by him to a
recently published letter of Hon
Charlie ncuGhcrty concerning the
Wales claim, the governors letter
havinE for its purpose to yindicate
his action both as legislator and
chief executive toward that claim.
This letter is much too long for
our columns. and as we consider the
Wailc&' claim a permanently closed
incident we are not inclined to make
the sacrifice Of space necessary to
present the views of Governor Gill
christ on this subject although we
should be glad to do so, but for
this consideration. We value our
genial ex-governor highly andwe feel
sure that he had the approval Of
both his clear conscience and his
hest Judgment In opposing the full
payment Of the heavy claim against
the State made by Colonel Wales.
The Legislature has repeatedly pro-
nounced against the claim after
what was presumably a thorough In
vestigation Of its merits, ami for
reasons satisfactory to itself re-
fused the claimant permission to
take his case into court The mat

consistent and defensible. No man

What Mr.. Bryan said at Sacra

to this: That State should not

may possess legal right so to do.
in relation to outsiders this Is one

The Democratic tariff bill passed
the House yesterday, all the Florida
members voting Tor it, and it is
sure that. it will pass the Senate
after the usual protracted debate
in that body, be signed by the presi-
dent and become the law of the
land in few weeks. The Repub-
licans in the house didn't Shrek Ca
lamity with their old-time vigor,
doubtless due to the fact that they
got a bunch from the American peo-
pie last November that tariff revis-

PERMANENT SOIL FERTILITY.

! If there is any one thing that al
men should be interested in it is in
soil fertility.
1t has been well remarked that
any one that makes two blades OF
grass to grow where one grew be-
fore is benefactor of his race.
Florida, above all the States OF
the Union is moro deeply concerned
, with this subject, because of the
natural deficiency Of some of the es-
sential elements to plant growth In
her soil.
Analysis shows that in the great
err part Of the State there Is q de-
ficiency Of potash and lime In the
surface soils. The former of these
Is absolutely necessary to the for
nation Of nearly all vegetable, cereal
and fruit growth, hence must be
supplied from some outside source.
There are nine other elements
that enter in to all plant life that
are also absolutely necessary to the
growth of plants, that vary much in
different soils. But since three of
these come directly from the air or
water we will net dwell upon these
a! present.
The other six are what we wish
to- call your attention to.
Phosphorus, an important element
IL all plant life, is more or less de-
ficient in all Florida surface soils.
1t is absolutely necessary that it be
supplied in some form. The chem
list Of the past told us that it must
be supplied in the form of phosphoric
acid. But psychologists are tell
ing lis that bacteria prepare it for
plant food
The Creator of this old earth dis
tributcd it in all fertile soils in the
form of finely ground phosphate of
lime, hence if we would learn any
thing from his handiwork we would
do likewise.
The chemist tells us that it is not
soluahle in that form.
The bacteriolocist tells us that the
soil bacteria prepare it for plant
food in the same manner that they
do where mixed in the soil by the
Creator, or mixed there by man.
This question is one of great i'm
portance to the people Of Florida.
since it lessons the cost of supplying
this element one-half or two-thirds.
In my future articles | propose to
point out how this can be accom-
plished, ami that, too in a much
more satisfactory manner than to
depend upon the fertilizer factory
for It. no7wNs
Since We have some of the rich
est phosphate mines in the world
within the borders of our own coun-
ty it is doubly important we should
understand how to use this product
to benefit our own lands before 1t
is all mined and shipped away.

Servians in Bombardnent.

LONDON. Feb. 4.-Forty new Ser vian seven inch guns are bombarding Adrianople says a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Belgrade. Fugitives from that town say that there are still comparatively large quantities of bread in Adrianople, and a few medical necessaries. A Bulgarian aeroplane dropped a proclamation into Adrianople yesterday. inviting the surrender of the town. A Constan- tinople correspondent to the Times says that all attempts to raise a loan have failed.
 The Turks remain on the defensive at Tchatalja and Adrianople. The Adrianople fortress replies only feeb- ly to the Bulgarian bo1nbardment and apparently no attempt will be made in the way of sortie. The Turkish newspaper Tanin asserts that Adrianople has sufficient pro visions for four months and other Turkish reports declare the fortress will certainly be able to hold out for several weeks.
 Official quarters at Constantinople radiate spirit of great confidence in the new regime. and declare the condition of the country with the wintry weather precludes the serious operations along the Tchatalja lines for the present. In the meanwhile diplomacy has made no step for ward since the resumption of the hostilities and the Porte has made no further communication either with the powers or the allies.

 None of the witnesses whose evidence consumed the trials first day, could give details of the assault. Four mem bers of the Wyman family living across the street told of a series of screams from different parts of the beach premises at 9:30 o'clock on the night of February 26.

Statement is Issued An nouncing That Adrian ople Has Plenty Bread stuffs and Able to With stand Seize for Months
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1


 CONSTANTLNOPLE, Feb. 4.-The Bulgarians, according to reports re- ceived tonight are retiring from the burning villages along the Tchatalja lines especially the left wing This is regarded as a strategical move ment, possibly with the .dea of drawing the Turks into taking the offensive It is the belief of the military experts here that no serious operations will be executed before TChalja at present
 The condition of the second DOT tion of the zone between the lines of the belligerents is such as to render the movement of men inn possible. There is little better than a morass. Only on the higher ground of the northern region can the armies come in contact and it seems improbable that either side will venture to attack in force
 Ii is supposed that the Bulgarians denounced the armistice less on ac- count of the failure of the negUtia- tions for peace than because it was expected that Adrianople would be obliged to surrender in a few days and with the armistice still in Op- eration it might have embarrassed their liberty of action.
 According to the best information the fortress will be able to resist for a long time. Much is expected by the competent observers of the new blood which is now at the head of the Turkish military and civil administrations, burning to avenge the earlier defeats and the enterprise of daring men like Enver Bey. for the first time given d chance it is believed may surprise the allies.
