Bulgarian Generals order.

The Carnegie commission appears to
nnd great pleasure In the report that King
Ferdinand OF Bulgaria gave orders against
the commission OF any atrocities BY his
troops complete contradiction of that
IL the fact that Gen. Soils, commanding
the Seventh Division OF the Greek army.
got possession of an order signed by Gen
Delot OF the Bulgarian army to Col. Dlm-
trief of the Sixty-fifth Bulgarian Regl-
ment to send two battalions to Melenlc
To destroy whatever is Greek In that
town
Some idea OF the fear in which the
Bulsarians were held by the non-com-
batants may he gathered from the fact
that whenever the Greeks occupied places
from which they had driven the Bull
garans the Turkish as well ms the Greek
inhabitants invariably halted tho new
Corners the liberators
when the Greeks withdrew from ter
ritory which was - go to Bulgaria by
treaty the Mussulran Ms well as the Greek
inhabitants abandoned the homes OF their
birth and emigrated to Greece because OF
their fear of the Bulsarians.
For example, tho entire population
of the cities of Melenic. Nanthi. Chou
mouldjina. Maronia and Dedeagath emf
grated. Forty thousand four hundred and
six people departed from the territory
taken over by the Bulgars, and of this
number 5000 were Mussulmans
Twenty thousand three hundred
and seven immigrants were from the west
OF Thrace. Forty-eight hundred were
from the district OF Nevrocop. 5.6s1' from
the districts of Melenic, Petrits and Upper
Tcsumaj and 4.S32 from the district of
Strunmitza. The Greek Government has
just appropriated 10000 francs 10 pur-
chase lands in Macedonia for these
refugees

Ask. for the Provocstion.

what kind of provocation did the
Bulgarians have 10 burn these cities and
commit these Wholesale murders? These
crimes we're committed when the Bull
garlans were compelled to retreat before
the advance of the Greek armies
What provocatlon can he an excuse
for wholesale destruction OF cities In which
there were no armies and which could not
possibly Offer opposition to the Bulgarian
troops? And what excuse has the founda-
ton commission for daring to excuse
butchery OF women, children and bishops?
'"The commission has reported that the
charges against the Bulgars were greatly
exaggerated. This finding : entirely and
fatty refuted by the words and state
ments of trustworthy persons and wit

atrocities. Capt Trapman, representing

BULGAR EXCESSES CITED

wAsHiNoroN. June THE Carnegie
Peace Foundation. whose purpose In the
promotion of universal peace. Is severely
attacked by the Greek Government In
an official statement issued here to-day
from the Greek Legation.
According to the statement the Car
negie Foundations commission sent to
Europe TO investigate alleged atrocities In
connection with the Balkan wars was 80
pro- Bulgarian that in an effort to shield
the Bugarians 1t siaudered Greece through
mistatemeuts in cxtraneous matters ig
nored documentary evidence regarding the
barbarity Of the Bulgarians and heaped
upon Greece false charges
The official statement Ia in reality
preface 10 long report prepared by the
Greek Government for dissemination IN
this country within the next few weeks
as an indignant answer to the charges
made against the Greek armies in the
findings Of the foundn tons commission.
Alexander Nouros, the Greek Charge
d'Affaires, gave out the statement which
says.
'ln the first place, the commissions re-
port charges that In each instance OF
atrocities committed the Bulgariaus acted
the accusation was greatly exaggerated.
What docs the report mean by provoca-
ton?
1T Is n notorious fact that in Nigrila
more than 400 inhabitants were slaught-
cred and the town Was sacked by tho
Bulgarians.
I'm Dntau the Bulgarians killed the
Greek bishop and thirty Greek citizens.
"In Stronmitza tho Bulgarians killed
three Greek men. one Greek woman and
sixteen Mussulmen.
"In Demir-Hissar 1875 men were killed
including the bishop and one priest.

than 90 according to the first list. which

Eleanor incident dragged IN unless the
report was written by prejudlced hand?
The Carnegie report lays stress on
the fact that Greek accusations against
the Buparians have been quoted In the
American press. II omits to mention that
accusations against the GREEKS by King
Ferdinand OF Bulgaria were also quoted
In the newspapers Of America, as were
charges against the Bulgarians made by
the Seryisns
The commissions report asserts that the
rules " war were violated nv all the
belligerents In the Balkan wars. The laws
of war were violated by the Bulgarians
but not BY tn, Greeks
Rene puaux. correspondent OF the
Faris Temps, has testified that tho Bull
ssrians violated all the rules Of war and
that their victims numbered between
100000 and 10000 Puaux says. 'Ac-
cording to the admission OF a Bulgarian
officer. the order for killing women and
children was explicit and was given to
prevent future property claims on the
land acquired by tho Bulgarians

HENS PASS THOUSAND MARK,

All of the ten leading pens and four others in addition have now passed well beyond the thousand-e egg mark in the international egg-laying contest at Storrs. The ten leading pens, that is to say 100 hens, have laid 11,630 eggs, or an average of a little more than 115 eggs for each in dividuaI. In other words. these 100 hens have in a trifle more than seven months laid thirty-fve eggs each more than the average American hen lays in whole year.
 The Leghorns have Ibeen nabibing all the first places in the past few weeks. The thirty-second week, however, seems to indicate that the heavier breeds are not yet to be counted out. Three pens of White Leghorns owned by Charles N. St. John, Greene, N. r. i; George A Cosgrove. West Wilmington, and Tom Barron of England. tied for first place with fffty-seveH eggs each. Two Pennsylvania pens of white Leg horns owned by Marwood Poultry Farm of Butler, Pa, and P. G. Platt of Wallingford tied for second place with f1fty-five eggs each Three Connecti- cut pens of White Leghorns from A. B. Hall, Wa1lingford; Branford Farm, Groton, -and c. H. Savage. Storrs, and a. fourth pen of this same breed from Charles Heigl. Rocky River, O.. all produced hfty-three eggs during the week. A pen of Rhode Island Reds however, owned by A. B. Brundage, of Danbury, nosed them out by a sin gle eggy thus winning third place for the week.
 The total yield amounted to 3.289 eggs. or a loss of 1b las compared with the preceding week. As has been previously noted 1t is of course expected from this time on that the curve of production must drop. July and August eggs bring at least a fair price and it is the opinion of some breeders that eggs laid at this season are produced at a, sufficiently lower cost to make them actually more pro fta.ble than November and December prevails.

THEN N...... and. NOW

Sixty-eAght years ago to-day the first match game of baseball on rec ord was played. The game was. be- tween the Knickerboeker and New York Baseball clubs in the Elystan Fields at Hobokens N. J.. The play CTS were members of the leading New York families. and engaged in the sport as pastime. A bevy of town beIles in the group of spectators made the occasion seem like a. social function. The field was marked off into the baseball diamond so farnil- far to-day. None of the players wore gloves masks. or protectors. It was the custom for the batter to say where he wanted the ball thrown. The pitcher or s'giver'' as he was then Ealleds delivered 1t with an under hand toss, according to the rules of the, game It was thought that the pitcher had an unfair advantage over the batter when he threw the bali over-hands hence the rule. The catcher stood at safe distance be- hind the batter, ready to catch the ball on the bound. The rules 7fctat- ed that if he caught the third strike on the first bound the batter was out; otherwise he must throw to first helders, or scouts were permitted to catch hits-on the first bound. Three outs retired the side. The team that first scored 21 runs, or ''aces" regard less of the number of innings played. was accounted the winner After the game the players resorted to one of the famous taverns of the day where the v1ctors had a dinner at the expense of the vanquished.

 There is a dam across the Root Riv- CT at Rusaford, and this prevents the fish. from swimming upstream at spawning time. Thousands are inn prisoned below the dam The strain has become so greet on them that the whole outfit has gone bugs accord- ing to the report.
 The water below the dam is churned into a seething foam by the insane fish, and to prove that they are really out of their heads the commission s informant says that hooks with the most tempting bait attached are ig- nored completely. Many of the crazed creatures have died of apopIexy, it is said, and their bodies strew the river bank for a mile.
 The only remedy is hshway through the dam, and the comnis- sion may endeavor to compel it's con struction.
