London, June 9.?With both sides stubborn in refusing to- make the slightest concession, war between the Balkan States is hourly becomingj more immin-ent. If Bulgaria sends a negative reply to the Servian noae ?and nothing indicates that she will answer otherwise?Pervia and Greece 1 will proclaim the annexation -of the ! occupied Macedonian territories, thereby establising a definite casus belli. The only hopeful feature of the situation consists in the belief that Bulgaria is lacking the sinews of war. Servia and Greece are not only better situated in this respect, but also An/in WT' Am* AO 1 nAfi'h'nnc SUpCHUl Oil' ICgKai pu^IviUiiO. These facts probably account for the calmness with which Servia apparently regards the prospects of war. The final session of the peace conference was held today at St. James' palace and ended without anything being decided as to 'the exchange of prisoners or other matters. The delegates agreed to i^ave outstanding questions to their respective governments. Each of the Balkan delegations advised its government to conclude a i separate convention with Turkey. The Montenegerin delegate who presided at today's session delivered a speech of farewoll. Had the peace conference . lasted longer there would have been few delegates to attend it, as Dr. S. Dan- ! eff, representing Bulgaria, left some 1 days ago and the two principal Ser- j vian delegates were hastily recalled to Belgrade yesterday. SEEKS PliESIDEXTAL AID. Governor Blease Asks Government to Hel]> Him Enforce Liquor Laws. I Columbia, June 9.?In a letter to ; President Woodrow Wilson, of the I United Stae:s, today Governor Blease ' pleads with him to instruct the revenue commission not to issue any more internal revenue licenses in South Carolina to retail liquor deal- > ers, declaring that such a course; would assist him greatly in enforcing the liquor laws. If there is no ; authority at present to refuse to issue such licenses the governor asks the president to send a special message to congress urging the enactment of such a law. "Tne united states government can be a great moral and legal force in j helping to enforce the liquor laws in this State, instead of, as at present, j countenancing their violation," says the governor in his letter. \ He says j s that when he gets to the senate he will introduce such a bill. His letter in full follows: "Columbia. S. C.. June 9. 1913. "His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D. C?Dear Sir: I have positive information that there are now in this State several parities holding licenses from the United States government as retail liquor dealers, and I am informed that these licenses will expire on the 30th of this month. As you know, South- Caxolina has a statute which prohibits the sale of whiskey, wine or beer, except in eight counties, in which whiskey is sold by the county dispensaries, and any per- j son. firm or norncration engaging in I the sale of any whiskey, wine, beer malt or vinous liquors, save the legally authorized dispensaries in these 8 counties, is guilty of a misdemeaner. Still, the United States government has been and is yet continuously licensing people other than dispensers j *? xl- ? i c v-\r\r> Ill lilt? CUUUUCS vyj-injii narc uiopcuearies, and people within the counties which have legal prohibition, to violate the law of ttis State by becoming retail- liquor dealers. "It does seem 'to me that you could be of great assistance to me in tho enforcement of tho liquor laws of this . State if you would -truct your Uni-j ted it~- cer of internal revmue r I io gran'; license to any person, firm or corporation in this State, except the licenses necessarj for the legal dispensers, to engage ii the business of retail or wholesale Iiquor dealer, and by instructing youi T*7iifpH Qtatpc mnrchfllc tn cpp that an^ person, firm or coiporation selling whiskey, wine or beer in violation oi law shall be tried and punished by the United States court. "If, after investigation by your attorney general, it should be found that there is any provision of law requiring the issuance of licenses, to people giving them the right, so far as the federal government is concerned, to violate the Staite law, then I would suggest that you could be ol great assistance if, in a special message to congress you would urg< the passage of a law remedying this defect to which I have caii'i your attention. "Of course under no condition oi circumstances, would I put myself ii the position of suggesting that might want to dictate to your excel Iptipv or pvpti to sn^eest to von any thing that would be unpleasant, bu iii does seem to me, as a private citi zen of the United States of America and as governor of -lie greatest Stat in the American Union, that it is in I consistent for the United States go\ ernment >to license people to violat | a State law, so far as the Unite States government is concerned, saj1 ing to them, you ha"?e our license t 'violate the Stat? law without intei foronna fvn-ni n c T t ic trno rf "h lifl : iv/i v/uv^ xxvyxxi. no* v %,*. v*v/ ** ! censes the federal government grant : are only to sell under the federal laws but, at the same time, the holder of these licenses, when they appl ifor them, give notice that they in tend *to violate the laws of our Stat< Therefore it certainly seems to m .that the United Stages officials ougt :to say 'Xo, your State law prohibit j the sale by you of thftse goods and w ! do not nroDose to make ourselve parties sto your violation of the S:atB jlaw by guaranteeing you immunitS from prosecution in our courts if yoH do violate the State law.' In otheB [Words, the United States governmerj| certainly can be of great moral anaH legal force in helping to enforce thlfl liquor laws in this State, instead ofl as at present, countenancing theiB violation. "There are a great, many sociaB clubs in this State today?so-c&lleH social clubs?which I am satisfieB would not dare attempt to violate thjl State law without a Federal revenuB license for the sale of whiskey. "I hope that I have not made thiH letter too l.:ngthv, and that I havB made myself clear. When I get <tH the United Stares senate, if some ac| tion has not been taken before thaH time, I shall introduce a bill alonH this line, but I do not conceive that is necessary -to w?"'t a year and I half or two years for the governmei? to take ihis action along the line cfl the law, of justice, ?nd of morals.

Constantinople, June 11.?Mahmoud Schefkeit Pasha, the Turkish gracd vizier and minister or war, was snoi j and killed by assassins today. His j aide de camp, Ibrahim Bey, was also J killed. Prince Said Halim, foreign ! minister and ex-president of the council of State, has been appointed grand vizier ad interim. All the other ministers retain their portfolios. A man was cast ashore on an un-! known island and found a high state' of civilization. Artists painted beautiful nictures and singers sang mar-; velous songs. To them he paid tribute. But there was a little withered man to whom poets, painters, everybody bowed down, relates the Pittsburg Post. "What has this man done?" asked the traveler. "He has accumulated 3,000,000 cocoanut shells," they told him in awed whispers. At first traveler wns inclined to' laugh, but then lvo thought of conditions in his own country and beer me. t h cu glit ful.

In semitropical waters of America there disports a member of that fami- ; ly of aquatic mammals, in which has been ascribed the mermaid myth. Related to the dugong and now extinct rhytina, we still have the manatee. ' The name is preferred by some to ! manatee under the impression that the latter is the plural of the Latin 1 "manatus" (furnished with hands,; thoagh the name is probably of Mandingo origin. The manatee is a herbivorous mammal inhabiting the shallows about the coasts of Florida, Mexico, Central America and the West Indies. It is not known to attempt the open sea and does not possess th2 ability to come ashore. This animal is somewhat j v,-hale-like in shape, wi^h a horizontal tail fin. It is from eight to twelve feet [ in length, the body being scantily cov ered with hair. The only limbs are the fore flippers, low on the side of the body. This flipper has no fingers; it { does possesses, though, three flat nails and has a free motion in all directions j from the shoulder; the elbow and j wrist approximate the human anatomy | :.n movement. With this crude resem- j olance to an arm the manatee has been ! i said to carry its-young.
