For the support of their postal service, the people of the United States next year will pay $283, 805,760, far more than for. any other branch of the government , services. Estimate forwarded to the treasury department by Postmaster Genera Hitchcock, of appropriations necessa ry to the operation of the postofflce department during the fiscal year be ginning July 1, 1913, propose an in crease of $18,086,909 over the appro priations of the current fiscal year. Mr. Hitchcock Is the . first cabinet officer to complete his estimates, which aggregate $281,791,508 for the postal service at large, exclusive of $2,014,260 for the department in Washington. "Nearly $1,000,000 of the Increase will be required to put Into effect the postal examination legisla tion enacted this year. i It Is estimated that $7,240,000 will be needed for the parcels post sys tem; $1,350,000 to meet the conditions required nnder the new eight-hour law; $750,000 to provide tor the re classification of railway mall clerks, and $150,000 to establish the new vll lage free delivery service.

This Is an Increase of $2,015,000, of which $1,685,000 will be required to meet ad dltlonal expenses resulting from the establishment of the parcels post.

With it went the following dedication: "Dear Sultan f The Bulga rians are not numerous, it Is true, but be assured that to stick your nose in to their affairs is like sticking It into Our national condiment.

M KILLED IN BATTLE GREEK FLEET IS PREPARING TO FORCE THE DARDANELLES , RIGHT AWAY. ; T Bulgarians Steadily ' Advancing on Adrlanople Turks Prepared for Long Siege. Vienna. Fighting between Turkish and Bulgarian soldiers before Adrlan ople is being marked by heavy casu alties on both sides. Censored dispatches received, here from Sofia stated that the Bulgarians were still advancing, and it Is believ ed here that the city is now complete ly surrounded. Big bodies of troops and artillery were massed on the heights south of the city In order to keep the railway line to Constanti nople open and to prevent the cutting off of teegraphlc communication with the Turkish capital. The fighting around Kirl Klllsse was particularly severe. Several bat teries of the Bulgarians' heaviest ar tillery wer econcentrated within easy range of the Turkish works there and for six hours a steady fire was pour ed Into the Ottoman soldiers. The fighting of the Bulgarian artil lerymen was good and the heavy can non did much damage. When the Turkish guns were silenced the de fenders fled to the inner works and the Bulgarians pressed forward, tak ing possession of the evacuated trenches and the abandoned guns. . Most of the dead were burled during the darkness. The wounded were car ried from the field to the hospitals erected in the rear of the Bulgarian lines. The Turks in Adrlanople are believ ed to be in- position to stand a long siege if this is necessary. During the weeks before war broke out the Turkish government moved great quantities of supplies of all kinds Into the city. Athens, Greece. The Greek fleet Is preparing to force the Dardanelles and baa occupied the Gulf of -Madrod as a base of operations. Victory in the Dardanelles would be a vital blow to Turkey and warlike action there might result In allied action by the powers of Europe. TROOPS STOP GAMBLING Governor Marshall Sends Militia to '. .

'.- Every, source of the United States government) was being used to secure some trace of the Prairie, which sailed from Philadelphia nearly a month ago carrying 750 marines' and the American commissioners to Santo Domingo. "','' ' : . The vessel was last heard from Oc tober 2 off the coast of Santo Domin go, to which it had 'been dispatched as a result of the revolutionary situ ation In that country. The ' navy department had been sending cablegrams to Haiti and San to Domingo for 24 hours, asking for the latest news of the Teasel. Lack of news from her caused fears that the vessel had met with disaster. The,1-United States .commissioners on board were Brig. Gen. Frank , Mc Intyre, chief of the bureau of jnBular affairs, and W.

Since the vessel has been at Mobile three days, offi cials have suspected her of loading at night arms and ammunition for the Mexican rebels at Vera Cruz, under Felix.

DIAZ IS CONVICTED BY GDURT MARTIAL REVOLUTIONARY LEADER AND THREE CONFEDERATES SEN TENCED TO DEATH. THE SITUATION IS TENSE The Impeachment of Madero la Threatened By 8enate If He Allows the Execution to Take Place Have Appealed For Clemency. Mexico City. Gen. Felix Diaz, lead er of the revolution recently inaugu rated in Vera Cruz, and three of his confederates have been sentenced to death by court martial before which they were tried in that city. - At the same time word of the ver dict against Dias was received came the report that the military court had decided to recognize the order of suspension of sentence upon the revo lutionary leader granted by the Su preme Court for the pending invest! gatlon as to whether the trial of Dlai should be military or civil court Pop ular apprehension regarding the fate of Diaz has not been greatly allayed, however, by this action of the court martial ' The delay in the receipt of the hews concerning the outcome of the trial 1b characteristic of all communi cation between the capital and Vera Cruz. The uncertainty as to what has been transpiring there has served to increase the tenseness of the situation. Friends of Diaz here fear the conse quence of the conflict of authority which has arisen between the Judiciary and military courts. If the military court observes the order of the civil authority the final disposition of the case will be long postponed. But It would be no surprise to thousands here to receive a message announcing the execution of the rebel general and his associates. Efforts to save their lives, especially that of Dias continue unabated.
