the Bulgarian patriaréh of all his privileges and force the people to come under the authority of the Gresk patriarch. ¥n- couraged by the authorities, the Greek bishop and archimandrites foreed their way fnto the Bulgarian church, burmed the prayer books and employed menaces to compel the people to acknowledge the patriarch. The archimandrite of Salonica declared In a reeent sermon that the sul- tan 414 not want Bulgarian exarches in his empire, if they remained they would be exterminated. In addition to the decree banishing the Bulgarian tradesmen from Constantinople and Salonica the porte adopted measures to ruin the traders elsewhere. The gov- ernor of Monastir ued an order April 18, forbldding Bulgarians to go abroad or sven to Constantinople. This order was Interpreted to prevent Bulgarians going to any large city and forcing them to deal only with Turkish merchants, which would gradually ruin them. The provinelal ad- ministration employed every possible means to install Mussulmans in the Bul- garian villages. On the slightest pretext the Bulgarians were forced to sell thelr Iands to the Turks at any price the Iatter chose to pay. Cause of Revolt. Burdened with taxes, llabls to perform statute labor for the Turkish land owners, the population is reducsd to a state of serfdom. This Is one of the prineipal causes of discontent and when s added the exactions of the tax-gatherers it is not difoult to understand why the wretched people should revolt from such a despotic government and servitude. In conélusion the memorandum asserts that the foregoing exposure once more con- demns Ottoman administrative government in Europe. It says “Not Jong ago the porte denounced these revolutionary movements as being fo- mented by Bulgaria and tried to put the responsibility on this principality. Today it must acknowledge that it is its bad administration which is the only causé for the trouble. From sad experience the porté must learn that dystematic persecu- tion, cruel injustice and bloody repression do not restore order and peace in a coun- try. The porte .accepted in prineiple the project of réeform which it has not put into effect. It has declared that the project is insufcient. Lastly the porte formally promised the Buigarian government to cease the arrests of Bulgarian priests and schoolmaeters, reopen the churches and schools, release the prisoners and punish the officiale gulity of exactions, in short to adopt & poliey of justice and amelioration. “Not only has the porte failed to observe & single one of these promises, but it has enactéd sterner measures of repression, to give only one exam It is prescribed a8 a condition of his felease that a Bul- sarian prisoner must furnish either finan- clal or personal seourity, but in the latter case the surety must be by a Turkish sub- Joct of non-Bulgarian origin. It is easy to comprehend that the imprisoned Bul- sarians find it impossible to obtain relesse wnder such conditions. By this and other @®@milar acts the Ottoman administration @an be judged. What must be the result of all this? Tired of waiting the fulfil- ment of promises of better conditions and driven to despair the Bulgarian population have thrown themselves into a revolution, which 'Is now spreading In an Ottoman province 160 miles from the Bulgarian frontier. “The causes of this revolution are today known. The responsibility is fixed and the porte can no longer accuse the Bulgarian _ principality.” 3 The memorandum has made a strong im- pression in diplomatic circles. The Aus- trian diplomatic agent has already called on the premier to express his anxlety re- garding the results that may ensue from its publication. The Fremch and Italian agents also ‘uneasiness, although they took a less y view. According to the newspapers, General Zonchefl, the president of the Macedonian |pommittes, Who was reported recently to have been arrested by the Bulgarian po- lice near the frontier, has escaped from Bulgarie tnto 2 ROME, Aug. 16.—Dispatches from Bul- garian sources received here indicate that the insurrection in the Balkans is spread- ing and dally gaining ground. The head- quarters of the revolutionary forces is in the high plateau of Baba Pelister, which is considered the key to the villayet of Monastir, and the Insurgents are strongly posted on all roads leading to Salonica and Monastir. Turk Buying Artillery. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 16—The Otto- man government has concluded negotia- tions with the Krupp works for the supply of thirty-two batteries of quick-firing fleld artillery, each consisting of six guns. Official reports say that the insurgents, when they occupled the town of Krushevo, massacred all the Turkish functionaries. Thé recapture of the town was effected by three Turkish columns operating from different points. The bombardment by the Turiish artillery exploded & number of dynamite mines behind the rebel entrench- bassador had an audience with the “sultan on Friday. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 16.—-The Rus- sian press does not lay emphasis on the Aispatch of a division of the Russian Black sea fleet to Turkish waters, merely repeat- ing the official statement without comment. The Novoe Vremya, in an outspoken editorial, says: “Bitter experience has shown the use- lessness and disadvantage of all concerted measure: Now, since the murder of M. Rostowskl does not concern Burope we are proceeding without any concert and there- fore we can more confldently predict com- plete satisfaction for our demands from Turkey." LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Timeés' corre- spondent at Constantinople says the sum- mary execution of the murderers of M. Rostowski has greatly incensed the lower classes in Monastir. The forelgn consuls theré have baen provided with military escorts and thelr houses are guarded by Turkish soldiers. Austria and Russia Agreed. VIENNA, Al 16t is wald here that Count Lamsdorft, the Russian foreign min- ister, advised Mme. Rostowski, the widow of the murdered consul at Monastir, to ac- cept the $80,000 indemnity offered her by the porte, and which she refused, declaring that she did not want Turkish charity. A Belgrade dispatch to the Nues Wiener Tagblatt reports that a Servian priest is recruiting large numbers of Insurgents among the Serb element villages of the Uskabe valley. It is reported on good authority that Russia’s demands on Turkey were made after a full understanding with the Aus- trian cabinet, but that the Austrian au- thorities had no idea that Russia Intended to support ité demands by a naval demon- ration. In any case the situation today is considered to be more favorable to peace than before. Fussia’s warning to Bulgaria has speclally contributéd to lessen the anxiety recently felt, it being held to prove that Russia has no Intéution of abandoning its pacific policy in the Balkans. King Charles of Roumania, in an interview, hi conveyed the intimation that he would not be traveling If he had any fears of a rup- ture of the peade.

D., Aug. 16.—(Specifal.)— Judge Danfel McLaughlin, the nestor of the Black Hills bar, died on Friday after- noon, after a short fliness, at Oakland, Cal., in the seventy-second year of his age.

SPEECH AS WELL AS CONDUCT IMPORTANT Large Crowd Listens to Address and Refu Be Driven Away Even by the Falling Rain. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 16.~President Roosevelt dellvered the principal address at the quarterly meeting of the Soclety of Holy Name, of Brooklyn and Long Island, held here today. “Decency of Bpeech and Conduct” constituted the theme of his ad- dress, which was enthusiastically applaud- ed by an audience of more than 300 per- sons, chiefly men. During the afternoon special trains brought hundreds of mem- bers of the soclety to Oyster Bay from Brooklyn and westefn Long Island Threatening weather kept many away, but although a light rain fell during the exer- clses, the crowd remained banked about the flag-bedecked stand, on a beautiful hill opposite 8t. Dominic’s Catholic church. As the president drove up to the stand in a closed carriage, ccompanied’ by Captain W. H. Brownson, superintendent of the Naval academy, Becretary Barnes and a representative of the soclety, he was ac- corded an enthusiastic reception, a band the while playing “Hail to the Chief.” After the audlence had sung ‘“America” Father Power, rector of 8t. Dominic’s, in- troduced the president in a felicitous speech, In which he spoke of the esteem in which Mr. Roosevelt is held by the Catholic church of this country When President Roosevelt rose to speak he was greeted with cheers, and it was quite a minute before he was able to pro- ceed. His address follow Need of Pure Life. Very reverend dean, reverend clergy, and you of the Holy Name soclety: 1 count myself fortunate in having the chance to say a word to you today, and at the outset let me, Father Power, on behalf of my neighbors, your congregation, welcome you hers to Oyater Bay, I have a partial right to join in that welcome myself, for it was my’ good fortune in the days'of Father Power's predecessor, Father Belford, to be the first man to put down a small contri- bution for the erection of the church here. I am particularly glad to see such a church as this flourishing, as your soclety has flourished, because the future welfare of our nation depends upon the way in which We can combine In our men—our Young men-—decenc; and strength. Just this morning, when attending service on the great battleship Kearsarge, 1 listened to & sermon addressed to the officers and en- \isted men of the navy, in which the cen- tral thought was that each American must be a good man or he could not be a good citizen, and one of the things dwelt upon in that sermon was the fact that a man must be clean of mouth as well as clean of life—must show by his words as well as actions his fealty to the Deity and to the Bavior if he was to live aright. We have good scriptural authority for the statement that it is not what comes into a man's mouth, but what goes out of it that counts. 1 am not addressing weaklings, or 1 should not take the trouble to come here. I am addressing strong, vigorous men who are engaged in the hard work of life, and lito to be worth living must be a life of activity and hard work. 1 am speaking to men, engaged in the hard, active work of life, 'and therefore men who will count for gooa or evll and it is particularly incum ent upon you who have strength to sot @ right example to others. 1 ask you to re- member that you cannot retain your self respect 1f you are loose and foul of tongue, that a_man who is to lead a clean and honorable life must inevitably suffer it his speech likewise is not clean and honorable. very man: here knows the temptations that beset all of us in this world. At times any man may slip. 1 do not expect perfection, but I do expect genuine und Bincere effort toward being decent and cleanly in thought, in word and in deed. " For Uplitting of Soclety: As I sald at the outset I hail the work of this soclety as | pitying one of those forces which tend to the betterment and up- lifting of the soctal system. Our whole eftort should be toward raising a combina- tion of strong qualities with those qualities we term virtues. L see in the audience there a man wearing the button of the Grand Army of the Re- who fought in the war the is country was a-traitor, and If he was strong and brave he was a more dangerous traitor. Urless there i8 a moral sense, his moral sense, his power but makes him a more dangerous traitor in our life, a man, who, from the standpoint of our go- lal and political positions should be hunted xowm 0 you need that quality first, the quality of honesty the moral sense, the ty which in one of the manifestations fade patriotism in the years from ‘61 to 't5 and that is not enough. In the war you Deeded to have a man_patriotic, but that did not do Iitself. I do not'care how patriotic a man was if he ran away he was Dot good. You must have the honesty to make that patriotism effective. In addition to honesty you must have the power to make the honesty count. In other words together with horesty, with decency, Wwith cleanliness must go courage, resofution, strength, the power to make yourself felt as & man in the work of the world. You must have courage and you must have patriotism, and as [ have said again and again, with your courage and with your patriotism must go the saving grace of common sense. The applause at the conclusion of the president's address was enthuslastic and the cheering continued until he entered his carriage and was driven away. PRESIDENT VISITS FLEET s Religious Service on Board Flagship Kearsarge in Gicter Bay. OYSTER BAY, Aug. 16—With the North Atlantic fleét anchored off in the tny, this has been almost a fete day. Huiwizeds of craft, ranging through all the grades from the pleblan row boat to the aristocratic steam yacht, have been hovering about the fleet of great fighting machines all day. Threatening weather did not deter any- body, apparsntly, from visiting the fleet. Officers of the flagship Kearsarge tonight estimaged that 1,00 persons were in or about ‘the various vessels during the day and evening. Formalities were begun at § a. m., when Rear Admiral Barker, commander-in-chiet of the fleet, accompanied by Captain Hemp- nill of Kearsarge and Flag Lieutenant Eberle, went in a barge to Dolphin to pay his respects to Secretary of the Navy Moody. An hour later Secretary Moody, accompanied by former Secretary Chand- ler, returned the visit. They remained to attend dlvine service. When Admiral Barker was informed that the president would also attend the service orders were issued for all officers to appear 'in special full dress. Shortly before 11 o'clock President Roosevelt arrived on Kearsarge from Sylph. As he came over the side he was received with presidential honors, The band was paraded, the ma- rines presented arms, the bugle sounded a fanfare and the drums gave four ruffles. Then the band played “Hail to the Chiet," and then Admiral Barker recelved the president on the quarterdeck. A few mo- ments later a launch conveyed a party from Sylph, cluding the president's fam- ily and President Brownson of the Naval academy. Among those present were former United States Attorney Jones of Boston and Lieutenant Commander Gibbons of Dolph- in. The music was led by the flagship's orchestra. Chaplain Isaacs' sermon was particularly addressed to the officers and men of the ship. His special theme was that the man who served his country best is he who also serves best his God. At the conclusion of the service, which was very impressive, the president and Sscre- tary Moody cadsually inspected some parts of the ship. The president then received Rear Admirals Wise, Sands and Coghlan, | man _emperor. who had come from their flagship thelr respects.
