YEAR 79-NO. 246 TURKS ARE PREPARING FORA Withdraw Their Troops From Frontier Posts A STRICT CENSORSHIP APPOSED BY THE VARIOUS CHIEFS OF STAFFS, Half a Million Armed Men Gathered Around the Old Northern Turk. ish Capital of Adrianople---2\ Long and HardFought Siege Kx. pected. London, Oet. 21.--Half a million men or more armed with the most modern implements of war are gathering around Adrianople, the old capital of Northern Turkey. for what niilitagy men anticipate will be a long enduring and bard fought seige. The Bulgarian armv estimated in number 200 000, reinforea! by 50, 000 Servians as soon as war was declared. began te fight its way in three columns through the moun- tain passes which divide the Balkan States from the territory of the Ot- tomah empire. They succeedad in driving back the Turkish outposts, including that at Musstapha Pasha where it was thought the Turks wight make a stand. As Mnetar™» Pasha is only reven- teen miles from the foriress of Adranopie, a Jong time cannot elapse before the main armies come into touch. . The Turks already have 200,000 men in position and thousands more are arriving dally at the front so that while thelr adversaries for the moment have some advantage in nuwbers the two forces when they meet will probably be nearly equal. Await a General Battle, Tha Turks are apparently prepar- ing for a great battle and are satis- filed now to withdraw their troops from the frontier pasts as their op- ponents advauce, The drama on which the curtain Is rising is practically cut off from the view of the rest of the world, as the chiefs of stafls of the various armies have imposed a most strict cevgorship. Ome of the rules issued to war correspondents by the Bul- gar ori «ds that nothing may r sant regarding any reverse the Bulgarian Srmy may suffer. A simuitaueous advance is also be- ing made by several Servian columns and although the revort that the Turkish town of Prishtina had been captured by the Servian troops was not acurate it is believed that thoy are making some progress. They have taken, according to report, a few minor Turkish positions and have driven back some bodies of -'Arnauts, who are savage tribesmen sion on Waterways, whic fighting on the side of the Turks. These tribesmen are thought likely to prove troublesome to both armies "as their main object is loot and their presence may upset the diselp- line of the men 'at whose side they are fighting. Many Bridges Destroyed. It is said in Belgrade that the old Servians and Macedonians have cut the communications between Uskup and Salonika, thus preventing the transport of reinforcements for the Turkish troops at the front. This re- port lacks confirmation and might have been founded on the fact that the Turks have destroyed a number of bridges between the Servian frontier and Uskup. Another Servian army has been directed across thé district of Novi- bazar with the objeet-of joming the Montenegring who in the . earlier stages of the fighting took Turkish forts on their side of Novibazar. The fighting in this district doubi- less aceounts for the visit made by the Russian and Austrian Ministers to King Nicholas of Montenegro at Podgoritza, as it was this strip of territory which Austria would not allow any other power to occupy. The situation there - might cause Rutepe to be drawn into the cop- et. » The oppositig forées round the Turkish town. of Scutari are sti) resting, while on the Greek frontier the Turkish troops are sald to be adopting merely a defensive attitude for the present. * me NO REORGANIZATION p nation of Monk. tawa, Oct. 21. -With regard to t filling of the vacancy lefs 2 the Monk from the cabinet. it ing Streams will meet in Cleveland on the 23rd and 24tn of this mo* th, Dr Charles E. viative vommission, DJ, W, 8.

Charges, But I Dismissed NORTHRUP IS INVOLVED ALONG WITH PELLETIER, THE CABINET SWALLOWER. ) Postmaster-Genergl's Latest Exploit Will Likely be Veatilated in Parliament--James Murphy the Victim of Toryism, Tweed, Oct. 22.--In the face of he investigation, conducted by a specialiy appcinted conservative ommisioner, who examined tne -harges of political partisanship yreferred against James Mur- ray, the postmaster here, Hon. Mr. Pelletier has seen fit to dismiss him. It speaks well for the public sense if decency that conservatives as vell as libcrals are raising indig- ant voice agaicst tbls cutrage of yublie morality, and aie joining in he demand for "reasons" for the ostmaster-gencral's latest exploit 1s a political hangman. It is also probable that Mr. Northrup, the enber, will be cal'ed to account by seveial of his owl spporters. The iav.stigation into Mr. Mur- hy"s cage, it will be remembered, lasted over thre weeks. There ere no specific charges and none ere proven. Nearly four months lapsed, and the matter was gener- ¢!ly considered closed when Mr. Pel- tier suddenly dismissed the post- aster and voluntéered his remark- tle reason for so doing. In re- jonse to' a communication asking for reascns, his department replies "The report of the commisioner who held the investigation into the harges preferred arainst you fails 'o exotierate "" Apparently 'tr. Murphy was held to be guilty inti] proved innocent and expected to rebut charges which were never formulated or delivered to him and which were made by men whose ames were refused to him. However, Mr. Murphy was fortun- a'e in exonerating himself. He ob- tained from the commissioner a com- vlete copy of the evidence on which the department acted. This goes throughout to show that in no way did the postmaster transgiess the jarrow resolution. The very wit- nesses called by the prosecution had nothing but good to say of him.
