The solution of the so-called negro problem is still giving some people considerable anxiety, particular loud mouth politicians and a few negroes with some pretentions to education and more so to hold office.

The native southerner and the negro can settle the race distinctions in a manner satisfactory to- all parties concerned. Russia has notified Bulgaria, that Bhe will not help her in case she declares war with Turkey. The note addressed to the Bulgarian Government by Russia is a positive recognition of the Turkey as the premier power in the Balkans to suppress a rebellion in her own territory as she thinks best. The Sulton has expressed a wish iihat the American war vessels be withdrown from Turkish waters but t is not likely that his wish will be 'ratified as conditions are two uncertain and dagereous to put in jeopardy the life and property of imerican citizens which would be the case without the presence of the war vessels.
