Turkish Holy City Falls
War May Now be Brought
To End.
SAID TO BE IN FLAMES.
Shukri Pasta Said 20 Have Com
mitted Suicide When Enemies En-
ter Place.

Sofia. March 26.-Adrianople, has fall
len. The Bulgarian War Office today
gave out that information. The fal! of
! the Turkish Holy City followed
general assault by the Bui-
gar.ans and Servians. According to
the report. the Third Bulgarian divis-
ion entered the city and took formal
possession. Before they SURRENDERED,
the Turks blew up several power mag
azires and fired houses, but the con-
oueror saved the city from destruc-
ton.
This afternoon it was reported th.5
Adrian ople was in flames in dozen
spots al. he inhabitants were fleeing
in every direction. Danger existed
tina he city would he destroyed.
Accounts from the frcn, said that
the Bulgari2ns bayonetted hundreds
Of Turks who were engaged in firing
houses and blowing up powder maya
zines.
Tie Bulgarians and Scrvians en-
tered the city after hours of desperate
fighting and a display Of vaicr seldom
equalled in modern warfare. They
rushed the last works of :he Turkish
defenders in the face of terrific fire,
and won their way into the city IN
hand to hand encounters.
S!.ukri Pasha, commander Of Adria-
nope killed himself with pistol as
the first BuIgarians entered :he Holy
CITY, according to an unconfirmed re-
port here.
London, March 2G.-The reported
fall today of Adrianople, the capture
of which was reported from Sofia and
undisputed. was hailed by diplomats
as insuring the early end of %he Bal
kan war.
The Holy City has been one Of the
bones Of contention standing in the
way Of peace for many weeks. Bul-
gar;l demanded the town and the OF
tomans refused to give it up because Of
its mosiem importance. there being
marv shrines and tombs there sacred
to the Turks.
L. was Adrianople that stood in the
way of mediation by the great powers.
The ambassadors in their proposal to
meG ate, suggested that Turkey be
allowed to retain control of the mos
lem portion of Adrianople, maintain
ing there religious ruler, while Bull
CARA would actually govern the tOwn.
The allies delayed many weeks III
replying to the powers, and it was un-
derstood that they were holding of
hoping to capture Adrianople before
making terms.

LAW LIMITING SPEED.
Censorship Over Objectionable Pic
lures and Measures Regulating
Rollerskating in Future.

There was but little discussion ir
the Board of Aldermen last night, ant
the business presented was transacted
with dispatch.
An ordinance to amend sections %
"a, 25 and "a of the health law was
introduced and referred, as were also
ordinances directing &he Southern
Railway Company to place improved
rails on Wilkes street at the intersec-
tions of Washington and Wilkes and
for paving between the rails and two
feet on each side of the same, also an
ordinance directing the Washington
Virginia Railway Company to make
similar changes at Cameron and
Payne streets were referred to the
committee on streets.
The ordinance providing for the muzz-
ling of dogs which are allowed to run
at large in the city, and for the ex-
termination of unlicensed and owner
less dogs, was received from the Com
mon Council amended by that board
after it had left the hands of the COM
mittee on general laws by the substl-
tuition of the words approved by the
police department" after the section
providing for muzzling.
This amendment was combatted by
several members, and after 1t had
been eliminated the ordinance was
passed.
4 resolution directing the police
department to send out the dog
wagon Immediately was also received
from the Common Council. 1t, too,
struck snag, the Aldermen believing
the Mayor should be directed to send
out the wagon.
This resolution after having been
so amended was passed.
A ordinance regulating the speed of
automobiles, motorcycles, ETC., upon
the streets of dhe city was also re-
ceived from the Common Council but
not in the shape approved by the Al
dermen. The committee on general
laws had made the speed limit eight
miles an hour on King street, but the
lower board had increased it to ten.
Mr.. Ballenger moved to make 1t
twelve. He said most cities allowed
such a speed, and New York had no
speed limit on Sunday.
Mr.. Hill favored twelve miles an
hour for King street, and gave ms
reasons therefor.
MIR. Ogden opposed the views OF
Messrs. Ballenger and Hill.
MIR. Field said he had favored eight
miles an hour on the principal thor
ouphfare, although he would not op-
nose the ten-mile limit.
Mr.. Ballenger's amendment was
adopted-5 to 2,-and the ordinance
was passed-ayes, 6, Noes, l, Mr.
Ogden.
Mr. Ogden inquired of the finance
committee concerning 1he fate of the
measure providing for new house Tor
tho Relief Hook and Ladder Company.
He said many people had asked him
concerning the purpose of Council
Messrs. Field and Hall assured Mr'
ocden that the committee would IN
due time report upon the matter

The recital last evening by Mrs.
Annie Staunton Cox was attended by
a large ard most appreciative audi
ence as Mrs. Cox was received with
earnest enthusiasm. Her sweet tones

my's Song" where the little chap went
off to sleep while "Brer Possum' was
still 'a-gathering' persimmons, "a
"heap-a-heap a-heap' made one feel
like they, too, would like to drop of
to Sunderland each night with just
such sweet tones lulling them to sleep.
Too much praise can't he said ot
Mr.. Eldridge. who gave orc of his
own compositions, responding to ap-
plause with delightful cradle song

importations of American Fish
May Be Stopped BY Native
Product in the Far East.

TOKYO, Feb. 2-Ever since the
Russo-Japanese war the importation
of American herring through Kobe and
Shanghai has steadily increased, and
the fish has found particular favor
among Koreans. Last year the value
of the importations amounted to nearly
10000. of which Korea alone took
Si25.0O0
From this time on. however, the i'm
portations are likely to grow smaller,
for, with the usual government enccur-
agement, some Japanese In Chinnampo
have conceived the idea of forming a
company for the exploitation OF the
Japanese sardine, when is taken in
great quantities in the Japan Sea, along
the coast of HukuriKu Provinces, but

According to a Chinnampo paper the
japanese fish. which is taken along the
Japan Sea of Hukurigu. is not unlike
its Biscay namesake, and has a much
more delicate favor than its American
namesake. BESIDES, il is much cheaper,
ana only needs proper preservation to
make it capable Of being transported
great distances.
\ japanese who has had some expert
crce with the sardine question in the
Bay OF Biscay is said to have been en-
gagged by the new concern to establish
plant for the preservation of the fish
near Chinnampo. IT is believed that
once the industry shall be started the
japanese sardinc will not only oust the
herring from the Korean market, but
even find welcome In the United
states as well. where il will ultimately
