The Sofia correspondent of the Times, telegraphing on Wed- nesday,
said that there was much excitement among Bulgarians owing to the sentences of death passed hv the Salonika Court Martial on eight-Bulgarian .teaahera and merchants. charged. with the murder of the school inspector Jovo Ivanovitoh. The University Professors presented to the Turkish Minister at Sofia a resolution demanding pardon for the condemned men. The Constantinople correspondent of the Times says that about twenty thousand Redifs have been called up for training this month, but the authorities deny that this has any reference to the relations of the two countries. Fortunately it was announced on Thursday that the Porte had decided to commute the death sentences on the Bulgarian prisoners. This has considerably calmed public feeling in Bulgaria. But many causes of friction remain. We trust that the Mixed Commission which has just been appointed will succeed in contriving a scheme for preventing further- frontier incidents.
