the Union station and no one was al

IN MOTIONS TO DISMISS
Two Cases Concern Recovery of Min

In the two cases of Frederick II. Bugher
against the American Security and Trust
Company and Edward B. Mclean, as trus-
tees of the estate of John r Mclean and
Edward &. Mclean individually, for the
recovery of an interest in fiuor-spar mines
in Illinois said to amount to over a mil
lion dollars. the trustees and Mr. Mclean
individually today submitted a motion TO
DISMISS which is in the nature of a de-
murrer to the proceedings. 1t is set forth
that the amended and supplemental bill
of complaint shows no breach of duty to
warrant a cause of action against the de-
PENDANTS: that the bill shows no juris-
diction in the court to require the defend
ant, Edward b. Mclean, to unite in the
purchase of any of the property to add to
the mines referred to. and that, even
though the theory of the plaintiff that
partnership exists in reference to the
mines be correct, 1t is denied that such
would operate in any way TO prevent the
defendant, Edward b. Mclean, from pur-
chasing any additions to the mining prop
erty he may elect to purchase in his own
name.

Ill Feeling Is Shown.

The correspondent has OF late heard
Of considerable i'll feeling between the
Bulearians and their allies. Complaints
are made that Bulgarian divisions were
compelled to march long distances on
foot. while favored German troops
rolled past them in trains, this favorit-
ism exciting particular bitterness on the
part Of select Bulgarian division from
the capital.
The German attempt to maintain con-
troll OF Bu'earia's single coal field has
excited much unfriendly comment also
in Bulgaria, and Field Marshal Won
Mackensen is charged with favoring the
Rumanians at Bulgarian expense.
Furthermore. the press controversy in
certain German and Austrian newspa-
pers, in which the Serbian claims to
parts of Macedonia were defended, ap-
parent1y has left an indelible impress
sion of distrust on Bulgarian public
opinion, an impression which the pub
lie declarations of the German min
lister and the interchanges of cordial
kilograms between German and Bull
garian statesmen seem to have been
unable to efface. 1t remains to be seen
whether Emperor Williams trip, de-
/ clared to have been undertaken with
