LONDON. Feb. B. A sharp engagement
began late today on the Tchalalja line?.
Recording to a dispatch from Constanti
nople. The roar of the cannon Is said to
be plainly audible In tho Turkish capital.
LONDON. Feb. 6.-Duting a, sortie by
the Turkish troops from Adrianoplc to.
daj;, J.000 of them were taken prisoners
by the Bulgarians, according to a din
patch from Sofia.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 5. The
forty-eight-hour bombardment of Adrian
ople by the Kulgnrlatis and Servians has
thus far resulted In only eight deaths
within the city, according tb tho war
office's official statement. Fifty prlvato
houses have been set on fire.
Bhukrl Pasha, commandor-ln-chlef of
Adrlanople, reported by wireless tele
graphy to the war office here today:
"The enemy Is bombarding us. One
hundred and thirty-eight common shells
and eleven shrapnels have fallen ln the
city, killing eight 'people and wounding
ten. A number of houses are In flames.
The bombardment continues."
Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, Turkish grand
vizier and minister of war, left for the
front at noon today. His departure !s
taken to indicate that some forward ac
tion Is contemplated by the army at
Tchatalja.
Slese Gens tn Action
SOFIA, Feb. C The bombardment of
Adrlanople continued today on all sides
of the city. Tho heavy siege guns brought
up by the Servian troops were trained on
the principal works of the fortress.
Bulganlan army headquarters "report
that yesterday passed without any fight
ing along the Tchatalja- lines.

" WJjjDON, Feb. 5. The bombardment of
Adrlanople, which opened on Monday',
proceeded without interuptlon today,
A report was., spread that the 'Bulgar
ians hs!d decided to- suspend operations
for twenty-four hours so as to give the
Turks garrison an opportunity of sur
rendering. This, however, appears to bo
without foundation, as arc many of the
stories spread broadcast in reference to
conditions around and in the beleaguered
fortress.
A message from Belgrade, Servla, this
morning speaks of the "1eorI0 conduct"
of a couple of Servian regiments which
participated ln an attack on the outer'
clrclo of forts. There Is no means of
verifying this or any other reports, as
such fighting as may be In progress is
taking place behind closed doors so far
as the outside world is concerned. De
pendence has to be paced on the 'mora
or less biased stories given out by the
respective army headquarters. Only on
extremely rare occasions can a news
paper correspondent succeed in cir
cumventing tho strtct censorship.
Prliiee Iliiasan Kscnpon Execution.
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Keb. 6.-Prlnce
Aziz Hassan, cousin of the khedive of
Egypt, who was supposed to have been
court-martialed and executed at Constan

of the ports of Asia Minor, where It
called on Its way from Marseilles. Ho
declined to glvo any explanation of his
escape from the firing squad.
Prlnco Aziz Hassan was In command
of tho Turkish cavalry At Klrk-Ktllsaeh
and was said to have been responsible
for the panic among the Turkish troop?.
Mahmoud. JIukhtar Pasha tried to stop

Stockmen are much concerned over
the fate of the wolf bounty bill lntto
duced by Mr. Wlndlcmnn of Converse
county, which carries an appropriation
of .'S5.O0O. The bill was returned to tho
hpuse from the live stock committee with
an adverse recommendation. When the
matter Is taken up in the committee of
of tho whole, the cattle and sheep Inter-';
ests will make a .lesperate effort to
have tho bill put through even though
the appropriations should be cut down to
'
v.onsiuoraoie com.i.c.u .1 .-cub
over Senate Kile No. 6, by' Mr. Christ- I
tnan, which purports to be a pure food
law. It Is charged that the bill has been '
Introduced at the Instigation of outside .
oil companies and that Its real purpose
Is to harass the Midwest and Franco- j
American oil companies which have re- j
flnerlcB at CaHper. Wyoming. So strong j
has the feeling become that there Is 1
some sort of a "Joker" In the bill, that
when It was discussed by the senate com- ,
mlttco of the whole, several senators
declared that they wanted to know more
about the measure before passing It.
Senator Sullivan declared that It looked
as though nn attempt was being made
to discriminate against Wyoming com
panies and at his suggestion the bill was
laid over, without prejudice, until Friday.

Southern Bankers
Loan to Farmers in
Violation of Law
WASHINGTON. Feb, 3.-Cliarges that
national banks throughout the. south
openly violate the natlcnnl banking law
by loaning money on real estate mort
gages were made by Sol Wexlur, a New
Orleans banker, today before the house
currency reform committee. He told the
committee the national banking law
should be amended to legalize loans on
real estate securities and said he knew
of banks ln Louisiana. Mississippi and
Alabama loaning their funds on real
estate, to accommodate farmers. He rec
ommended that such loans be legalized
and limited to eight months paper to
allow the farmer to "make his crop."
"The farmer Is the only man who Is
not allowed to take his stock ln trade
Into a national bank and secure credit
upon it," said Mr. Wexler.
