TELEPHONE TALK BRINGS SUGAR

A telephone conversation on the subject of sugar took place in this city within the past ten days that has a live interest in these more or less sugarless times
 The scene opens with Franklin square restaurant keeper arriving at the telephone. boiling hot with indig- nation over what he had up his sleeve. He used a business neighbor's tele- phone.
 MT. Restaurant Keeper called up a certain wholesale grocery firm on Wa ter street with affiliations in New Ha- ven and other cities.
 Substantially the following conver- sation went on:
 'Is this MT. Wholesaler
 "Yes."
 "This is Mir. Restaurant Keeper. How about sending me some sugar.
 We can't do it. We haven't any You ought to get me some sugar"
 we can't let you have any,
 You're a - liar. I've got man right here knows you're supplying su- gar to a Norwich retail firm not far from where I bought 200 pounds last week and had to pay 15 cents for ii. ;
 Wait a minute. You'd better talk to our MT. -.
 The next act was Mr. Restaurant Keeper putting on his hat and coat and hustling down to the Water street wholesaler. Here he let loose the tor rent of his indignation in. characteris- tic vigorous fashion.
 "Our MT. -" promptly promised to see that Mr. Restaurant Keeper had a couple of bags or so immediately and to keep him supplied in future.
 Within half an hour the wholesal- CTS team was delivering sugar at the restaurant.
 Since then MT. Restaurant aKeepei has had plenty Of sugar. but he hasnt paid 15 cents for it nor has he beer compelled to buy it in combination sales from the Norwich retail firm whom he accused the Water stree wholesaler of supplying.

 First: The act forbids the charging of excessive prices for any necessar l ies. Necessaries are defined as wear 1 ing apparel. food, feeds and fuel. Up on complaint that dealer has solt 1 iiecessaries in excess of a reasonabl price, I shall order an immediate in

Some somewhere remarked that

Those fragments of nations which
strew the Balkan peninsula are so d.
vided in race. language and traditions
that they dwell side by side in Il
state of constant discord and helliger-
ency, no m ace being able to u.s.
simulate the others-a melting pot i n
which nothing melts, but which is in
q constant state of ebullition.-
In 1873 the idea of pan-Slavism had
become a strong sentiment III Russia.
Pan-Slavism in Russia was answered
by a revival of pan-Islamism in Tur-
key. Russian agents were everywhere

Declared War Against Turkey.
The patience of the czar was ex-
hausted. On April "a, 1877. he gave
orders for his armies to cross the
Turkish frontier and declared war
against Turkey. He had previously
concluded an alliance with Roumania
by which the Russian armies had the
right of passage through that country
aEd the Rnlmanian army was to coop

land had acquiesced in the Russian
move, provided the car did not occupy

neutrality of the Suez canal. Austria
mad been nppeased by a secret pact
with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina
and by the vision dangled before
her Of an outlet on the east to
the Aegean sea at Saloniki. The os-
tensible object of the war was to
force the porte to put into operation

We're defeated before Plevna in July
and September. They defeated the
Turks ut Alahja Dagh in Armenia in
October and took Kars by storm In
| November. Plevna fell in December
and the Russian army passed through
the Balkans, and advanced to the out
skirts Of Constantinople. On March
g. 1878, a treaty was signed at San
Stefano, a little port on the sea OF
Marmora between Russia and Turkey.
Gar Was Frightened.
All the Balkan peoples, except the
Bulgarians, broke out into a tempest
Of protest upon the new of this treaty.
| Austria, who saw her dream of reach
ing the Aegean gone glimmering and
even her control of Bosnia and Herze-
govina shared by Russia, voted CO.
100000 gulden for war purposes and
prepared to seize upon Bosnia. Eng
land called out the reserves, and Dis
raeli startled Europe by bringing In
dian troops to Malta. The British
fleet steamed into the sea Of Mar
mora and lay near Constantinople.
The '"concert Of Europe" demanded
that the treaty be submitted to a con-
gress Of the powers. The coalition
of Europe against him scared the car
and he consented. The congress of
Berlin. therefore, met June IL, 1873.
Before attending the congress Disraelt
made n secret pact with the sultan by
which England acquired complete con-
troll of Cyprus. The congress lasted
until July Ii. Bismarck presided and
Disraeli, Gorchakov the Russian, and
Andrassy the Austrian were the prin-
cipal figures. Gorchakov and Dis
raeli fought each other tooth and nail.
Once the Russian created a sensation
by gathering up his papers and start
ing to leave the council room. At an
other time Disraeli startled the dele
gates by ordering a special train to
take him to Calais. When the Cyprus
convention came to light the diplomats
felt that Disraeli had tricked them.
That night he attended a reception.
AS hH entered Il silence fell upon the
angry huZzing of the assembled states
men. Disraeli understood.
"Of what are you thinking?" asked
the Princess Radziwill."
II am thinking of nothing" he re-
piled; II am enjoying myself"
The treaty as finally signed by the
congress provided that Bulgaria should
not extend south of the Balkans and
the military occupation of Russia was
reduced to nine months.
