FAIL TO HEED NOTE.
Time Limit on Russ Demands on Bul
garia Has Expired.
London. Russia's ultimatum to llul
garla expired October 5, and, so. far
as was known in London, no answer
had been received nnd none was ex
'Ected. It is taken for granted hero that
King Ferdinand and his ministers are
definitely committed to the German al
lies, in return for territory to be ceded
after the ivar. Some ports, including
Constantinople nnd all that remains
of European Turkey, has undertaken
to assist actively In tho operations
against Serbia, thus hoping to open
the way for tho Austro-German army,
tho objective of which is tho Sea oi
Marmora.
The entente powers, in this belief,
have landed or are landing a force at
Saloniki, which will tako upon itself
the duty of protecting the main rail
way through Serbia and Greece and
Civo what assistance it can to the
Balkan allies, should they be attacked
by Bulgaria.
Slave Marriages Are Upheld.

premo court has declared the unions
of tho negro slaves In the ante-bellum

Tho decision was given in a case in
volving property which a negro had
inherited from his slave grandfather.
His title was attacked on tho ground
that his father was an illegitimate
child. Tho court held that although
tho grandparents of the negro in the
present case never went through a
marriago ceremony, thoy wero legally
married according to the customs of
their time.

Thompson, of Chicago, en routo to the

that his order closing Chicago saloons
on Sunday was tho following out of

mayor said: "This order will mean
tho closing or the saloons In Chicago
on Sunday for all time hereafter, The
order merely requires tho enforce
ment of the law, which has beon on
the statute books for years. I am sim
ply following tho dictates of my con
science. There is no alternative for
