Constantinople, Feb. 3.-(Midnight)-
T, Is officially announced that hostili-
ties began punctually at o'clock to-
night. both at Adrianople and Tcha-
taldja.
At Adrianople the allies opened the
bombardment. At Tchataldja an insig-
nidcant skirmish occurred.
The consuls at Adrianople have re-
ouested the ambassadors here to ar
range with the Bulgarian authorities
for permission for 120- foreigners at
Adrianople TO pass through the Bull
garian lines. If this arrangement can
not be made. the ambassadors will ask
that the Bulgarians respect that por-
ton OF Adrianople set apart for foreign
residence.
London. Feb 4.-Bulgaria has turned
deaf ear TO the remonstrances Of the
powers, and the allied armies will now
attempt TO drive Turkey completely out
Of Europe.
According TO a dispatch from Bel
grade last night. Scutari is already on
the point Of falling. 1t is reported that
the Turkish commander has sent two
representatives 10 the Servian COM
mahder TO propose the capitulation of
that town.
Dr. Daneff. head of the Bulgarian
delegation. in an interview in Paris last
night, said he had promised Sir Edward
Grey that if the Turks Immediately
accepted the allies conditions they
would conclude peace. but whatever
happened there would be no further
armistice.
Sir Edward Grey had a long inter-
view with the King yesterday, after
which he attended a brief meeting Of
Tie ambassadorial conference. but
nothing Of Importance was transacted,
there being no new development since

Turkish delegate. will leave London to-
day TO resume his ambassadorial duties
at Berlin. He said last evening that
the allies underestimate the condition
Of the Turkish army, and that they
would find themselves confronted by a
redoubtable enemy-the best Mussul-
man warriors, veterans from Arabia,
who had fought under Izzet Bey, and
tried soldiers and good marksmen late
ly engaged in Tripoli under Enver Bey
and Fethy Bey. He added:

sacre is reported and an individual n ur-
der is regarded as an ordinary occur
renee. The government is coming sill
yer to meet the financial stringency and
this is being used by those who can lay
hands on it to purchase foreign ex-
change. Meanwhile, alarmists talk of
serious international complications re-
sulting. Little trace of this contingency
can be discovered. Mexico has absorbed
foreign capital and induced foreign in
terests like any of her neighbors, but
she has distributed her patronage too
widely to incur the responsibility of
being the cause of actual hostilities.
There is safety in numbers in the Mexi-
can situation if there ever was in any
international complication. No nation
at the present moment regards the
cause of peace so lightly that she would
ask her neighbor to sacrifice it for the
protection of any interest she might
have in Mexico. --Albany-Times Union.

TO SIMPLIFY INDICTMENT.

The New York Association has begun
an attempt to simplify criminal indict-
ments. The discussion took consider
able scope, yet only one man found
words to discredit the movement. The
proposition was outlined, and,
Professors Keedy and Mikell declared
that the presnt forms of indictment are
absurd and confusing, and proposed that
they be cut down to the simplest terms.
They suggested that it would be better
to substitute formal charge which
stated the alleged crime, such as:
"a. B. did murder C. D."
In addition they proposed that grand
juries file with each indictment a bill
of particulars in civil cases and thus
state the circumstances surrounding
the alleged crime. They maintained
that the present form of indictment is
so involved that it is open to many
errors and that if a mistake is made in
essential the higher court must neces-
sarily set the trial aside.
The plan met much approval, although
opposition was heard, led by Howard
Cans who was once in charge of the
appeal bureau of the District Attorney
office. Mr.. Cans objected that the de-
PENDANT was entitled to full statement
of the alleged crime in the indictment.
He declared that the introduction of
the simpler form would make it easy for
grand juries to return indictments SIM
ply on the word of the District A ttorney
without looking carefully at the evil
dence.
Mr.. Cans was formerly a district
attorney for New York and did efficient
service for the city and State. 1t APP
pears to US however that Mr.. Cans has
taken the back track and is still follow
ing it. The ordinary citizen can not
understand why a simple indictment
would answer tt e cause between the
criminal and society. The two words
did murder" is all that is needed to
describe the crime. All additions to
this statement are in the interest of the
criminal. The circumocution, in spin
ming out words, describing the method
of killing, the implement of killing and
the place of killing-all this absolute
nonsense is in the interest of mistrial,
overruling by high court and long de-
lays. burlington News.

1T is seldom that physicians endorse a

a case happened in Kingston, N. Y, where
one of the best known women in that his

the age of 69 years. 1t was an alarming
case. She was attended by three of the
leading physicians in Kingston and by q
renowned specialist from New York City.

only to be attacked by severe nervousness,
accompanied by distressing and compli-

Cause of Mine Horror.

Santa Fee, N. NJ, Nov. Tn an of
fetal report made public today, State
Mining Inspector Beddow, who investi-
gated the mine disaster in which 263
men lost their lives at Dawson on Octo-
Der %, says the explosion which wrecked
the mine was due to the firing of an
overcharged shot in one of the rooms
by miner. This in turn stirred up
and ignited the coal dust in the sur
rounding workings, causing a second
and more terrific explosion which
wrecked the mine. The shot was fired
during working hours when the full
shift was at work in the mine, the re-
port says, which was contrary to the
mining rules and the rules of the COM
pany.
