Peace Delegates Depart,

The porte's note is regarded as fore
shadowing a declaration of war
against Bulgaria. This course has
been discussed by the council of min
listers as a means of enabling Turkey
to recover her liberty of action, which
was compromised by the London con
vention.
A Belgrade dispatch says Premier
Pachich has agreed to receive the
Bulgarian delegates at Nish. 1t is
probable that the Greek premier, M.
Venizzelos, and a Roumanian delegate
will also meet them. Peace, adds the
dispatch, may be signed in three days.
The Bulgarian generals, Paprikoff

CLARK FOR OLD ACE Fund
WILL LECTURE WHILE CONGRESS
Is NOT IN SESSION.
Speaker Says He Wants a Nest Egg
to Keep Out of Poorhouse in
His Declining Years.

WashingtOn.-To have a nest egg
for his old age, not because his sal
ary IS too small, is why Speaker
Champ Clark gives Chautauqua lee
lures, he stated.
Il give the lectures only whc2 con-
gress is not in session, to lay by
something for my old age and keep
from going to the poorhouse," said the
speaker.
Il have been lecturing since 1895. l
have refused hundreds of engagements
when they conilicted with my duties
in congress. Every contract | make
contains two clauses-one that my lee
ture is subject to the exigencies of
the public service which means that
l will not leave my duties here to go
lecturing while congress is in session.
The other clause is that l will not lee
ture for pay in Missouri. That is a
matter Of taste, and | feel that | owe
too much to Missouri, although | have
lectured there when admission was
charged, out only Wnen the proceeds
were to go to some church or charita-
BILE institution"
Clark states that he has written for
newspapers more or less all his life,
but he received his first pay for news
paper writing after the panic of 1898,
when his entire fortune was swept
away and he was deeply in debt. For
nearly 10 years he wrote a weekly
article for a press syndicate, but dis.
continued that because of his increas-
ing labors in congress as minority
leader of the house.
Emphatically the speaker asserted
that under no circumstances had he
ever or would he premit his lecturing
to interfere with his work in congress
