RUSSIA WILL
k _
Between Bulgars and Servians—
King Peter Agress to New
Method.
London June 24.— It is report
ed here that King Peter of Ser
via has agreed to allow Russia
to settle the (boundary ’dispute
between the Bulgars and them
selves and that the former allies
are to demobolize at once.
The concentration of the
troops of both the Servians and
Bulgars, the massing of the great
forces and (he readiness of all
sides to start anew the battle for
spoils, caused the powers to fear
for the peace of Kurope and ev
ery effort was made by the diplo
mats to avert an open rupture,
which it is believed has now been
accomplished by the agreement
of the Servians to allow Russia
to settle the dispute.
King Nicholas, </f Bulgaria,
was determined to gather to him
self all the rewards of the suc
cessful war with Turkey and had
visinms of a united Balkan union
with himself as Kaiser, but the
Greeks and Servians look with
distrust on his leadership 'and
managed to take a large slice of
I he captured section and have re
fused to let go in spite of ev
ery effort made by the Bulgar
ian army to dislocate the Greeks
from Sfoloniki or the Servians,
who held Ihe northern section ot
old Turkey.
The Greeks severely defeated
the Bulgars, who attempted to
lake Soloniki and were ready fot
more lighting if necessary to
maintain their hold on the city.

SENATORS FIGHT
FREE SUGAR
Louisiana Senators, Aided by the
Western iMemiers of Upper
House, Make Things Warm.
Washington, D. C., June L’i.—
The Democratic caucus has
reached (he sugar schedule and
the big light is on inside the parly
for and against the Wilson-Un
dervvood schedule providing free
entry into the stales of all sugar.
The two senators from Louis
iana, aided by tin* western sen
ators, are.making a hopeless light
in I lie party caucus, but should
they decide not to abide by the
majority rule they can with the
aid of the Republican miiinrit\,
block all sugar legislation or for
that matter can prevent any tar
iff legislation until they are as
sured that the dutv will remain
on sugar.
The Louisiana senators claim
it is ruin for their stales, to ad
mit sugar free while tile western
senators assert that the beef sug
ar industry was built up on the
promise of protection and that
unless it is continued the pro
fitable industry which is now giv
ing employment to thousands and
has proven a money maker for
the farmers, will be annihilated.
President. Wilson has visited
the capital and held conferences
with tin- senators and is de
termined to force the bill
through. The Republican mem
bers assert that patronage is be
ing used to force senators in line
and is being withheld from sena
tors who refuse to toe the line
for the administration.
