TURKS FOULED BULGARIANS.
London, Jan. 20. ----The Bulgarians have
now diacovered that they have been
completely misled in regard to the con -
ti one prevailing in the beleaguered
Turkish fortress of Adrianople, and have
consequently decided that a prompt
chauge in her policy 13 necessary. Two
weeks ago they were informed that the
fall of the fortrets could be expected
hourly, but a, recent eattnell of war,
held at Mustapha Pasha, uuder the
presidency of King Ferdinand, came to
the conclusion that Shukri Pasha, the
Turkish commanderin Adrianople,' had
been able to economize the supplies in
the fortrees to such au extent that the
garrieon would be able to resist per-
haps for several months more. Chultri
Pasha eompleted the work of deluding
the Bulgarians by means- of falee zeporte
Spread by Supposed defierters, wilo
reached the Bulgarian lines drewn
round the city,
The commanders of the Bulgarian
forces now know the truth and Bulgaria
has determined, to- force a speedy solue
thee either by eoncluding peace or re-
suming the war, so ae to put au, end to
the heavy expenditure and to permit the
teen under arms who eompriee virtually
the whole of the able bodied male popq-
Italian of Bulgaria, to return to agrieul-
tural work. Otherwise, it le feared, the
net harvest will be a failurS, The next
meeting of the ambassadors of the pow-
ers at the British Foreign Offiee has
beeu postponed antil Wednesda.y, owing
to the absence from the meeting of the
two ambaseedors. The Serviane have de -
Oiled to present to -morrow to the pow-
ers the memorandum which they have
drafted, detaiLing their desires iu regard
to territorial eha»ges arising out of the
war. &rola will ask to be permitted
to occupy permanently the eadern part
of the district of Novipazar, bordering
on the Servian frontier, and also the en.
tire region eastward, from the River
Drin to Lake Oelnida, as well aa the

MARTYR TO LEPROSY
But Sir Geo. Turner Will
Continue Work.
London', Jan.. 104—Although ISir Geo -
Turner is afflicted with leprosy as the
reeult of his heroic self-sacrifice he has
no intention of abandonieg active work
anima; the eniferers of the disease. He
has decided to devote the remainder of
his life to •lepers and hes offered, his
serviees to the minion to lepers in
In -
da and the east, but it is felt there is
greater scope for his work in South
Afriea, where he knows all the condi-
tions. He will probably return to that
field of labor. He is full of brave hope
to do eomething more for his fellow-
eufferers.
Sir George Turner, interviewed, said
hie treatment of lepers so far 'had been
on the general prineiple of making the
lepers more emnfortable and in retard-
ing the advanee ef the *Devise. There
was a great poseibility, however, that
some remedy might be found. "Gener-
ally epeaking," he said, "people have
O. very erroneous idea, with regard. to the
eontagioueness of leprosy. In my opin-
ion leprosy usually, if not always, is
spread, by contagion, butmost lettere
are not nearly $o dangeroue to the pub -
fleas a person suffering from phtlusis."

en acknowledging the stewardship ren-
dered by the Earl of Cromer 10 the Sec-

'In the year 1896 the death rate
among European officers of the West.
African colonies was 00 per thousand.
In 1004 the rate lied fallen to 2$ per

These are remarkidne figures, and no

must be attributed to the introduction

Embossed Post Cards Car-
ried Strong Drugs.
Accident Solves Puzzle for
. Sing Sing Officials.
Oesining, N. Y., Jan, 20, ---The acee
dental dropping of a welOt has clear,
ed up a mystery which has been pure
zling the wardens of Sing Sing Pris-
on from the time of "Warden Sae
down to john S. Kennedy, the pres-
ent incumbent, The weight in quee-
tion showed how drugs like opium,
morphine, cocaine In powder tortle
and other things get to the convicts.
The discovery will be of benefit to,
the warden); of every other prison -
of the State and to the keepers of
city prions like the Tombs in New
York.
It lute beeu shippea in pletttre post
earns. Further titan that front in.
vestigation already made by Warden.
Kennedy It appears that as far as the
.New York supply is, concerned oue
woman has been the sole manufactu-
rer, having a large stock of drugged
nostals on. hand, whice fact Vas
known. to the friends of men in the
prison who must have drugs.
No one thought anything of it when
the postal card craze manifested it-
self in Sing Sing five or six years
ago, because the convicts keep pretty
well abreast of the times. No atten-
tion, was paid, either, when the en-
crusted cards gave way to the em-
bossed cards. the ones with the bou-
quet of flowers standing out on the
surface, with the woodland scene with
the trees sticking out, with the photo.
graphs raised above the surface.
The mail that arrived one morning
it week or more ago contained several
scorer, of these cards, and It was all
taken to the proper official to be ex-
amined, as is the rule. The man sat
at his desk, the cards before him. In
some way or other a weight or a
book dropped on one of the largest
postcards in such a inanner that the
edge of it struck on the edge of the
embossing, cutting a hole, .A. tiny
speck of white flew out of the hole.
It looked like the segment of a small
morphine pill. He took it to the pris-
ou physician and it was such a pill.
The embossing was ripped loose and
the hollow space was found to be fill-
ed with more morphine pills, a goodly
number of them a half a grain in
strength and concentrated.

British Prince Sailed as an
Ordinary Cadet.
London, Jan. 19.—Prince Albert, the
,second eon of King George, sailed from
Devonport Saturday aboard the train-
ing ship Cumberland on a six months'
voyage. He will go first to Teneriffe,
in the Canaries, and then to the West
Indies. He will arrive in Porto Rico
on March 18, in Jamaica on March 22,
at Havana on April 3, and at Hamilton,
Bermuda, on. April 10. From the lat-
ter place the ship will go to Gibraltar,
Malta, and the Mediterranean.
It was planned at first to givePritice
Albert a, special cabin aboard the shin,
btft the King promptly vetoed this.
He declared that his son must be treat-
ed as an ordinary cadet. For this
reason he travelled from London with
fifty or sixty other cadets, carrying
his hammock and handling his own
baggage. Some of his comrades tried
to screen the Prince front the camera
men, but Albert told them not to
trouble themselves about it. He went
aboard the ship in the most formal
manner. Captain Smith received the
cadets in the order of seniority.

Germany Refuses to Stop
Custom in Army.
Berlin, Jan, 20. --The Federal Coue.-
eil We been debating for some time the
resolution of the lteiehstag adopted in
May, 1012, eniling upon the Imperial
Chancellor to put an end to dueling in
the army. Its decision, which W;18 pre-
sented to the Reichstag Wednesday, is
tantamount to it refusal to do anytbing„
It &Marva that measures for putting an
ead to dueling este only be adopted when
they apply to all elassee and eeem likely
to effect a change in the universal views
in regard to the safeguarding of honor.
It will be recalled that the Kaiser was
severely scored for Ms, etend on this
matter.
Itt refei once to the demand of the
Reichstag that au officer fighting a
duel or issuing a challenge to one
ball be dismieeed from the army, the
Minden:1,th, or Federal Council says t
"The infliction of such punishment
On an officer who on ideal grounds,
has risked hie life in safeguarding hie
' honor would be absolutely unjuetifieble
and ilium) pa tible with the principlee t.
the civil and military penal codes."
A serious question raised at the
time of the discussion was in regard
to officers who beeause of religious
temples were opposed to dueling.
The reply of the Federal Council to
the nemand that tto officer shall be dis-
missed for refusing to fight a duel is a
bare assertion that the question of the
appointment or dismissal of an offie,er
rests with the Crown.

"To wipe out the hookworm? 'said
Dr, Greene, "it will be necessary not
only to cure present sufferers, but to
innoculate and diffuse such knowledge
of the laws of hygiene and sanitation as
will gradually make reinfection impos-
sible, but when that is done in this
country the work will be only partly ac-
complished; for unless the hookworm
eau be eradicated from theee points in
foreign lands which now through com-

tion over the world, the hook -worm is

therefore be made it world eaanpaign—

The latest idea expressed is that
condemned criminate be allowed to
take their own lives atter they leave
exhausted every means to have the
death sentence set aside.
The State law now provides that -
condemned criminals be executed
either by zhootini or hanging, the
choice to be made by the person to be
executed. Governor Spry in his mes-
sage to the Legislature has recom-
mended that the State adopt the elec-
