London, July 1.—The Sofia dis patches this morning, relate stories of continued fighting between the Greeks and Servians on one side, and the Bulgarians on the other, from Islip to Eleutber. Each Government declares that its troops have been instructed not to take the offensive, unless at tacked, and each side Is trying to shift the responsibility for this fra tricidal war. Except to isolated rases, the Bul garians in Salonika have offered feeble resistance, while the Greeks e sustained only small loses. New York, July 1.—Five foreign ers. who were booked to return to Europe today, were burned to death late last night In a down-town hotel. The bodies of three men, a woman and a child were removed to the morgue this morning. Their death was almost ihstantaneous, to quick ly did the ancient brick building burn. Tho hotel contained seventy-five lodgers, six or more in a single room. Many of them wero forced to leap to the street, being severely injured, while six were dangerously hurt. The survivors were forced to leave their clothing and money, and some of them lost several thousand dollars, which was their all. The police this morning are in vestigating the mysterious origin of the fire. Another fire of similar na ture, occurred In the hotel a few days ago.

Atlanta, July 2.—The first big spectacular fight of the present leg islative session is scheduled to come off today or some time early to morrow, in connection with the ef fort to unseat the new county dele gates, McArthur, of Wheeler and Browning of Bleckley. Although the special committee unanimously recommended that the two gentlemen be unseated, strong opposition has developed members, and the outcome is ex- j caucu< tremely uncertain. Which ever way finally it goes, there is bound to be some | ,ow - acrimonious discussion on the floor before the final vote is taken. Another measure that is arousing the belligerent faculties of the leg islators is the bill to place the Na tional Guard under the control of ivll authorities. Leading local of ficers of the Fifth Regiment say they will immediately resign if such a •se is 'aken. According to them, adoption of the measure would con vert the militia into “tin-horn sol diers,” good for nothing but to wear shining uniforms and appearing in parades. Parcel Post skimps can be used on letters or papers and • ordinary stamps of any denomination can be ued on parcel post packages. This order is in effect after the first of July, which was yesterday. Teady the order has become recog nized and post offices are receiving the packages and letters with the new regulations. In addition, parcel post packages an be sent C. O. D. These re quirements are simple. The sender pays the price of the postage and the fellow from whom the money Is collected by the postmaster pays a money order rate. These pack ages are insured up to fifty dollars automatically, but none will be ac cepted which are valued over a hundred dollars. Hereafter the insurance rate is to be changed on parcel post pack ages. For values under twenty-five dollars the insurance is five cents, over twenty-five and up to fifty dol lars, the rate Is the same as now ten cents. The public will do wel to learn the new regulations which are much more desirable than tl» way first adopted and will mak things much easier for all • oncern- ed.
