Cable Special to the llr.Kj The Bulgarian
government will fouually assume an attitude
toward the endless demands of General
Kaulbars when these demands have been
presented In writing. This fact may cause n
further delay of several days In the settle
ment oftho matters In question.
KADI/ilAlts' MISSION.
General Kaulbais told mo this morning
that the "object of his mission here Is no
mystery. If Bulgaria hoped for Uusslan sup
port on vital questions she must ask It sin
cerely and without icseivatlon. " Tlio ten-
cralcmphasl/cs the word "sincerely" because
latterly thlnus have occurred hero which are
notcalcttlated to Insptio conllilence , but to
shock public opinion In Hussta ,
which Is snrpilscd that tlio Bul
garian government , vvliilo tendering to
the c/ar by telegram congratulation
on his ieto day , did not make public the
char's answer , which the Russians had aright
to suppose would be posted on every stieet
coiner nnd In every village In Bulgnila.
Itussia wished the elections heio to take
place in ns ncaily u normal condition as
possible , so that all uai ties ml ht take part.
Itussia would only recojnlro as legal an
assembly elected under these conditions ,
to Insure which the general Insisted on the
following points :
The necessity of the immediate lalslng of
the state ot blcgo and an Interval of at least
two mouths between that nnd the election to
onnbio the Bulgailan people , free fiom out-
fildoor Inside pressing to choose theli icpre-
scntntivcs. But given a state of sieire , no
election was piobable.
The olllcers confined should bo released
because Kussia considers them as represent
ing n political party nnd does not find It
seemly that the picsent Bulgatian govern
ment , which is nothing but a political party
Itself , should ucisecnto another political
paity in the absence of a stable goveinmcnt.
General Kaulbais condemned the burning
of the flags on account of a btcnch
of discipline or a breach of honor.
It won d boas well to burn the cioss on an
nltnr for the clime of n pilest. The cioss is
the sacred emblem of n faith , so the stnndaul
Is that of military honor. The ucncral in
conclusion said that the conditions named
weio necessary for a fiee oxeiclse of the pub
lic judgment and that lie had enlbodleil
them In n note to the legcncy
this looming ; that Kusslahad no thought of
naming a candidate now , nor would .she
until the conditions were fulfilled. It they
were icfused , he had other means to fall
back on ,

LONDON , Sept. 28 , 4 a. m. [ Now
York Herald Cable Special to the
UKK.I flio moinliiK papers comment
on Mr. 1'arnell's American cablegram to
President Htigcrald ot the Irish National
league. Thn Post says : ' 'The note meditates
a complete severance of Great Britain Irom
Ireland nnd Is mainly a begging appeal for
money. " The Chronicle treats what it calls
"an appeal for moro"as undignified and
nrcucs a against any statutoiy pailiiimcnt.
The News gives great prominence to what
it calls "Painell's Message , " but withholds
comment. The tory Standard calls It "A
Declaration of War" and suggests that It is
the work of some virulent lieutenant. Then
the Standaid itseld grows vitupera
tive against the nationalists and
the American subscribers. The doc
ument has created a maiked sensation , it is
understood that Loul Randolph Chuichill
will mnko It one of the themes ot his eroat

Anxiety Over ICntclnnd'H Moves.
CoNBTANrmoi'i.K , Sept. 27. [ New York
Herald Cable Special to the Br.K.J Much
comment , paitlculaily In Russian and French
diplomatic circles , has been excited by the
fact that several trnnspoits recently touched
nt the Island of Tliasos with largo supplies
and mniaincnt consigned to ngent.s
of the British govcinmont. U IB felt
that - the Kngllsh occupation and
practical annexation of this Island will take
place at the first sign of n Itusslan occupation
of Bulgaria. All the more uneasiness Is felt
because of Thasos belonging to Kirypt , to
which , through Mehamcd All , It was ceded
by the sultan. No technical objection could
bo lalscd against Kncland's occupation so
long as It was sanctioned by the khcdlve.

tlio governor ot a state will not consent to

The commissioner lias drawn up and for

for coopeiatlon between the United States
department of agrlcuituio and tlio authori
ties ot thcsevcial states and tciiltoiles for
the suppression and extirpation ot conta
gious pleuro-pncumonia , and if they iccclvo
the consent of the state autlioiltics thebu-
iean will make a systematic and determined
eilort to .stamp out the disease by attacking
every infected district. The circular recites
the piovlsions of tlio law , laying particular
stress on the section which it'akrs It requisite

no animal will be allowed to enter the herder
or to leave it , and all animals in the herd
shall be carefully Isolated trom other cattle.
When possible , all Infected herds aio to beheld

In this case , nosh animals may bo added to

Inoculation Is not recommended bv the de

that Its adoption witli animals that aio to be
aftorwaids sold to go Into other herds would
counteract the good icsulls which would
otherwise follow tiom the slaughter of dis

ticed by state authorities under the following
rules :
No herds but those In which plcuro-pneu-
nionla had appeared arc to be Inoculated. In
oculated herds are to be quarantined with
lock and chain on earh animal. The quaran
tine restrictions aio to remain in force as

these animals are to leave the premises only
for Immediate slaughter. Fiesh animals are
to be taken Into Inoculated herds only at the
risk of the owner and shall be subject to the

herd. The chlet of thp bureau of animal In
dustry Is to bo piomptly notified by the state
authorities of each hcid inoculated , of the
filial disposition of each member of the heid ,
of the post-mortem appealance. and of any
other facts In the history of the hcid which
may prove of value.
The co-operation of farmers , of live stock
commissions , and of other olllcers who may
bo In that branch of service provided for tlio
control of contagions diseases of anliqaUin
states where ptenro-piicunioula exists , Is
earnestly requested under those rules and
adulations , which have been ai ranged with
a view of securing unlfoim and elUcient
action throughout the whole infected dis

Professor I'toctor Attempts to Knock
Out AVlKKliiH.
ST. Loft . Sept , 27. The English astrono
mer , Richard A , Proctor , In nn article con
tributed to the niobc-Dcinoornt , entitled
"Wiggins' Prophecy , " says : U appears to
me shameful thnt ; any man , even though ho
be not a student of science nnd.theieforo
fully aware of ( he mischief ho Is doing ,
should spicad Abroad predictions of a coming
disaster In such n way that foolish folks nro
likely to be dlstuibed nnd terrified. Wiggins ,
n half-educated and wholly unscientific ctn-
ploj oof the mclcoroloelcal ofllco In OtUwa ,
has long rmlcavurcd to acquire n cheap iepii-
tntlon by a weather prediction of that kind of
which Itself assures students of science that
a weather prophet Is either utterly Ig-
nniaiit or exceedingly knavish. After
noting several Instances of failure of
former ptedlcttons made by Wiggins , "Wig
gins" continues the wi Her , "claims to have
picdlctcil nn earthquake August .list , but
truly ho has so continued to threaten storms
and cnithqnnkes that no great disturbance of
cither sort followed his predictions. Ho now
loudly pioclaims that on the SOth lust , there
will bo another gicatcnithqunke , one ol the
most terrific subterranean upheavals over
known on tliir continent. He knows that
such mediations will attract attention for
awnllu to hi.s name. It may , however , tie
nsked whether there is some leason
for legaidlng the " 2Uth of September as tlio
day of d'inger. Even Wiggins , it maybe
suugested. must nt least Imagine n leason
tor his piedlctions , ns the Tices , Verniers ,
( irlmme * . and othirsof the mischlovious tribe
have Imagined for theirs In past. " Pioclor
goeson toshow tlintceitaln well known as-
tiologlcnl facts have probably Induced Wig
gins to make his late piedictlou , one being
a slight tendency to earthquakes to
Incienso during the monthsof August and
September , and another that earthquakes are
mote likely to occur when the moon is in or
near thu nuint of nppioach to , with and in or
near the line of the earth nnd sun ; that the
moon will be in such n position duiini : the
latter part ot tlio present month , but such
condition , Proctoi observes , recur year after
year , and earthquakes arc no more liable to
occur this year than In nny September of the
coming centuiy. pn the contrary , ho argues
that there has already been ono great e.nth-
quake aad It Is exceedingly probable that the
impiisoned forces of the earth beneath the
Amci lean continent have for u vvlillo found
lellef , and that no great earthquake will oocur
In the same legion lor many years , possibly

LONHON , Sept. 27. T New York Herald
Cable Special to the IIK. ) : ] At the boat
race won tills afternoon by Christian Nell-
sen , of musical fame , there occuiicd n meet
ing between Keach and Hnnlan. It was a
chance meeting with Ue.ich. The other scul
lers Induced Hanlan to pay \isltto the ilvcr-
sldo jesterday alter noon , when ho at once
hied to his old quarters nt the
Star and ( > rrtcr at I'utncy , and
renewed acquaintance with his former sun-
porters , W. J. Innes , Uoss , Teenier , Lee ,
llubear and others , and subsequently Han-
Inn boarded tlio steamboat Fuchsia , which
was about to follow the race , when lie met
with a hearty reception trom tlio geneial
public lining the tow-path , nnd also fiom
those aboanl the steamer.
Consideraolo curiosity was evinced to wit
ness the meeting of the two great oarsmen ,
nnd on Hanlan making his wnv round to the
side of the \cssol , on which the champion
was standing , milta a little crowd followed
cncer to see and hear all that took place.
Hcachnt that time was In conveisatlon with
Clnsuer , the tuitions boat builder.
Hanlan at Hist did not appear to notice
licacli , who was .seated on the side of the
vessel with his back to tlio water. After he
had gieetcd a well known boat builder and
one or two others , Clasper drew the Canad
ian's attention to the picsonco of the champIon -
Ion , sajlng : "There Is nn old friend of
yours. "
Here Ilnnlan at onctt turned toward his
great rival nnd apologized for his oversight ,
but to the surprise of many on board who
woio not up to the Ins nnd outs of the affair ,
Ueacli completely Unored Hanlan's existence
for the time , till at length , after nn awkward
pause , tlio ex-champ on broke the Ice by
saying :
"I guess you know me ? "
The champion ippllod : "Yes , I know jou
well enough , " in no very coulial terms.
Thence , however , a somewhat lengthened
and desultory conversation ensued. Of
com. so Haitian went to the challcngn ques
tion , but IJcnch In a maiked snubby to no
said :
' It Is no use to except on the Parametta
when I will lay i on 1,000 to bOO I w in. "
Hanlan said , "if jon will not row mo heio
you are not much of a champion. "
Beach piomptly icplied , "Hut lam cham
pion enough to beat j oil. It is a pltvwodld
not meet on the Thames , as I should have
liked to piovo to the British public ns to
winch is the best man. "
Ilanlan objected strongly to Beach saying
nasty things. Beacn replied that everything
he had said ho could substantiate and that
the strongest expression lie had ever used
was v'xyicn | calling him a. "gas bag. "
' 'Ho ' * * had called him' a gas bag
mvcausc no was a good hand at
binding. The discussion was cairlcd on
some little time longer , but bcfoio the pair
separated the Canadian acknowledged that
ho had been treated in a most handsome
manner In Australia and that many icmaiks
fo'i\xyjilch ho was held ie ponsiblo weio
totally untrue. After the race a
large , gathering assembled at Beach's quar
ters at the White Halt , at Baincs. Bejond
any amount of toasting nothing further
transpired between thccincks.
Subsequently , however , Hanlnn at the
Fox and Hounds at Putney Issued a chal
lenge to Beach , thus :
"I will row Beach on tlio Thames or Tyno
lor 500 a side and the championship of the
world , to take place within seven weeks of
signing of the articles. 1 hand the represen
tative of tlio Sportsman a fhst deposit of 100
as an earnest on my good faith , and
i will Do pleased to meet Beach
ot tlio Sportsman ofllco on Tuesday after
noon between 2 niul 3 o'clock to dinw up the
articles and make all arrangements. "
All sporting men seem unanimous that
nothing will come of this. Not a tew openly
say that Hanlan would never have come un
less convinced that Bench would not accept
any challenge to row on the Thames.
LOXDOTJ , Sept. 27. Kd ward Hanlnn has
challenged Beach to row a lace on tli9 Thames
for any sum up to S'AOOO and has olfoiedto
low in Ameilca or Australia , Hnnlan to give
Beach 810,000 in the former ca o nnd Beach
to give Hanlnn 610.000 In the latter. Beach
has declined nil challenges.
The boat race for 100 a hide between Lar-
gan and the Australian oaismen , Nielsen ,
took place to-day on the Thames , Putney to
Moitfake , and vva1- won by Nielsen , who fin
ished nlono. Beach and Hanlan witnessed
tlio race fiom the deck of a steamer. On
inretln ? thu champion nnd ex-champion
sjiowed marked coldness , not even shaking
hands. Beach Kild be would not low In
Anicilcu If Ilanlan offered him the whole of
Amoilca todo.so. Ho said ho would low on
the Paramatta and would , lay Ilanlan 1,000
ngalnst b < W , but ho would not pay Hnnlan'H
tiuveling cxiieuM's. The dispute continued
sometime. Ilanlan was greatly annoyed by
Bench calling him a gas-bag.

It is not at nil unlikely that the Inllme of

to some simp diplomatic conespondi'iice be

Cuba as Its subject. Kor many jears theio
has been growing in the Island of Cuba a
sentiment in favor of coming Into our fold ,
which amounts to little less than lebelllon.

was hccured by the United States wo would
get sugar , ilce , cotton nnd tobacco In meat

every conceivable class of manufnctuied
