A despatch hem London says!.
The newe from the seat of war on

tinned 'successes of the allies. The
Servians have 'captured Novi Bazar
and are the virtual piasters cif
Kumanova. The vietoriese however,

The situation in Thrace is becom-
ing 'clearer. A great battle is being
fought over a, wide semiecireular
front beore, Adrianople, upon
which town the Bulgarians are gra-
dually 'closing in. On the east they
have occupied Vasilika a,nd Tirn-
ovo, and are continuing their ad-
Yance 'southward,.
On the west th'e Bulgarians, ac-
oorcling to official Sofia accounts,
have reached the Arda River, close
to Adrianople, which is being vig-
orously bombarded. Already the
two outer forts have fallen. Some
positions to the north of :Adrianople
are also ead to have been taken
after fighting of the severest char-
aoter.
It is eignib.eant that Wednesda,y

vious despatch.es from the Capital,
while they admit a heayy struggle,

cause the Montenegrin commanders

King Nicholas in the captured Al-
e. hania,n towns, They demand that
King Nicholas give a, guarantee
that he evacuate Albanian territory
and Bemire autonomy for Albania.
So far they have received no satis-
factory reply, and it is reported
that they are refusing t.o fight fur-
ther for the Montenegrins, whose
advance has been thereby checked.
About 1,000 Bulgarian prisoners
of war have arrived in Constanti-
nople, ateording to a special des-
patch from the Turkish capital.

vancing southward upon the impor-
tant town of Visa.
The prisoners taken by the Bul-
gariana say the vigorous offeusive
movement of the invaders took the
Turks by surprise. The Turks are
demoralized, ill -fed and badly dis-
ciplined.

sive movement against Kirk-Kilis-
seh began Monday eveuing, 'when

rianople, the Bulgarians were at-
tacked by 8,000 Turks. After an
hour of heavy artillery and rifle fire
the Turks Were defeated and fled in
disorder, leaving the field strewn
with dea:d and wounded. The Bul-
garians captured NO prisoners, a
dozen quick -firers and quantities of
munitions. Many Turks drowned
themselves in the river because they

their prisoners.

Mr. Hocken is a clean, creditable type

Perhaps, but an earnest student and con-
scientious worker. On 'he platform he is
a ready speaker, and .n debate puts his

The Duke Was Hoarse.
The Duke of Connaught further popu-
larized himself an bis latest visit eo To -
route, though he stepped off only long
eaough to have luncheon with the Cana-
dia,n Club. It was not that he said any-
thing linportant, but rather his democra.
tic demeanor that pleased isveryone. He
intimated that he could not speak very
well and excused himself accordingly, be-
cause he had a bad cold and was there-
fore hoarse. • He said it just as • would
any other ordinary mortal who is called
upon to make a speech, and it amused
immensely the four hundred members_of
the Canadian Club who were present. It
is the sympathy with the rest of mankind
in little things that makes the Royal
family of England so popular. The
Duke's "cold" recalls the cheers that used
to greet a scene in the cinematograph
which allowed his late brother, King Ede
ward. on board ship, rise from his seat
and walk a fesv paeee past some ladies to
the rail to tick his cigar ash oveyboard,
just like any other man. ,
During the lunoheon, Mr: J. S. Willison
spoke, as always, gracefully and acceptab-
ly, dwelling specially on the growth of
national spirit in Canada, but pointing
out that this growth was not resulting
in any weakening of the Imperial bond,
but .rather the reverse. The function
throughout, at his Royal Highness' special
request, was thoroughly democratic. The
Oanadiaai Club znembers attended, as
usual, in tlaeir business dress, and abso-
lute infoimality prevailed. As a matter
of fact; however, they did go to a better
restaurant and order a better luncheon
than usual in honor of the occasion.
Slr. Thomas Lipton and Royalty.
Sir Thomas Lipton was a guest at the
luncheon to the Duke 4if Connaught, and
his presence was quite appieneeiate for
the famous yachtsman, no matter how
numerous are his nenales in high places,
he •ha s not, in recent years, lacked for
friends among the Royal fanaily. The
late King Edward was always a strong
backer of Sir Thomas, though he didn't
seciire his election to the Royal Yaeht
Squadron, the premier yachting club of
the world. • The Ring and Queen of Spain,
the Empress Eugenie, the Queen of Nor-
way and either royalties are all friends,
frequently accepting his hospitality and,
it is said, beieg sonaetiraee assoeiated. with
him in business ventures.
This friend of Rings and Queens began
life at the 'bottom as a groeer boy, but
he never hesitates to talk of his early
struggles' ot of his "trade," They say
he is fee; proud to attempt to hide any-
thing. He has long held the reputation
of being the foremost advertiser in Eng-
land, and no doubt he is a good one. Even,
the money he hast sunk in yacht races
has no doubt retarded to hira mane- times
over in the form of free publicity. A
certain type of Englishman is contemptu-
ous of Advertisers, and of trades people,

BECKER IS FOUND GUILTY
Verdict In the Famous New York Murder Case Re-
' turned by Jury
A despatch from New York says :
"Guilty of muecler in the first de-
gree," was' the verdict retdrned
three minutes before midnight on
Thursday 'night by the jury in the,
case of Lieutenant Becker, charg-
ed with killing Herman Rosenthal.
The jury had been. out exactly
seven hours and 5% minutes. The
length of its deliberation, and the
frequency of its requests for exhi-
bits, together with an uranistaka,ble
sige of hot arguments in the jury-
room, had led most of those who
waited late at the Criminal Courts
building to believe that there would
be no agreement. So that when the
blow finally fell upon the defendant,
its force was all the more crushing.
Becker's lawyers had grown more
confident as the hours sped. Beck-
er himself, chatting pleasantly with
his wife, the Plitt brothers, and a
former reporter, Frederick H, Haw-
ley, who had testified in his behalf,
wa,"6 serenely confident that there
could be no answer fro mthe jury-
room tave not guilty. -
The convicted man bore- up un-
der the skek with the grinieess
and reselution that had Character-
ized him all through the trial. When
the momentous answer ealneeto the
question of ,the clerk of the court,
Gentlemen, have you agreed upon
a verdict'?" the Lieutenant turned,
calmly toward Harold B. Skinner,
the foreixtan, and displayed no emo-
tion whatever is Mr. Skinner pro-
nounced a few short words that
'spelled his fate. The only sign of
agitation, the only visible appear-
ance of shock, wa.e a grayness that
spread over his dark face, the nar-
rowing of the fierce eyes, and e
,eontraction of the. nauscles of the
throat. Presently when he lifted
his right hand and gave oath as to
the facts of his age and circum-
stances there was not a. quiver of
the big arm or a waver of a finger.
'He could answer the formal ques-
tions put to him only in husky
tone's, barely audible a few feet
from where he stood at the bar of
the court.
