land ofllcu todaj mado public a stato
mont showing tho approximatn amounts

various Western stato during tho Inst
lineal year. Those figure, while not
exact, aro within a fow dollars of tho
proper amounts and much closer than
lough osllmales made naveral weeks
ago, which were basud on tho propor
tions of past reasons. As previously
explained, Oregon is tho largost con
tributor, having paid in 1,884,730
last year, which makes Its total con
tributions for tho past threo years (2,.
705,000, This latUir amount Is 1360,
000 In excora of what any other stato
lis so far contributed, North Dakota
being second, and Washington third.
Last year Washington contributed II..
000.009, nrlnglng its total fnnd up to
11,804,000. Idaho has to Its credit in
tho fund (1,140,007, of which (042,

tho geneial fund, thin fund, of course,
to bo ntlllted In Arizona, Nevada and

than 11,000,000 in excels of tho previ
ous estimates cf tho land ofllce. More

tho protection of worships, there Is lit
tle direct nows tnis morning fiom tho

statements impossible either to con
firm or deny. Among tho Isttor is the
assertion made in a Sofia dispatch to
tho Keclo of Milan to tho effect that it
has boon decided to moblllw tho 1ml

avowed pol'cy of tlio Bulgarian govern
mont.

Britain insists that alio prevent tho
passage of bands Into Macedonia.
Little credence is attached to a story
published In the Vienna DIo Zeltung
that Turkish troops havo been ordered
to cross tho Bulgarian frontier.
The Italian fleet Is hold In readiness
at Sicily so that it could reach Turkish
waters in 48 hours but Italy will not
lake any action except in accord with
tlio powers.
Tho Dally Telegraph's correspondent
at Varna reiterates tho determination
on the part of tho Bulgarian govern
