LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Salonica cor- respondent of the Dally Mail describes the situation in Macedonia as being one of the utmost gravity. The insurgents are increasing in number and holding their own against the Ottoman soldlers. An- archy holds supreme, asserts the cor respondent, the Turkish army being com- pletely out of control and eating up the country. In a few weeks famine must ensue, causing untold misery. An outrage in the eity of Salonica now would turn the Turks into soldiers and the populace into wild beasts. The country of the River Varda, toward the villayet of Mon- astir, is expected to rise daily. The Times correspondent at Salonica gives a similar account to that sent by the Dally Mafl correspondent of the iNl- concealed terror prevailing in that city, and the fears that an indiscriminate mas- sacre may be precipitated. Commerce, he says, is paralysed and a famine Is appre- hended. The ambassadors and consuls re- cently appealed to thelr governments to send warships, but the desire to avold the appearance of encouraging the insurgents seomns to be held of greater importance than precautionary measures for the pro- tection of Europeans. Hence, the vessel have not been sent. Preparations for an approaching insur- rection in northern Macedonla are rapldly progreseing, but the day of the outbreak ha# not yet been fixed. Among the Turks themselves, continues the correspondent, & growing body pro- fesses to be ready to support Buropean in- tervention to remedy the desperate con- ditlon * of “affairs and even talk of mur- dering the forelgn consuls as a means to compel forelgn Intervention. There fs no lack of sensational news from the interior, but all the reports are tbnflicting and con- fusing. There is m: Interest and anxlety regarding the fate of Kllsura, which has long been besieged by thé insurgents. Ac- cording to the latest report a’ large body of Turks sent to raise the siege, has gained an important victory. A report is current that September 1 the anniversary of the sultan's accession, has been selected to begin the outbreak in the vilayet of SBalonica. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 80.—In officlal circles it is claimed that the situation in the vilayet of Monaktir is improving and the troops are galning the upper hand. A fiylng column Is being formed to fight the bands in the Adrianople district, where the military authorities are requisitioning horses almost everywhere and glving vouchers payable after the restoration of order.

DETROIT, Aug. 3.—The conference of the wage committes of the Window Glass Workers of America and the. Independent Window Glass company and the Federa- tlon Window Glass company ended this forenoon. As was snnounced last night, it was agreed to withhold all wage scales until the present stock of glass is ex- hausted, and further, that there will be no resumption of work in the factories untll & general resumption is ordered. It was also agreed that during the next year stoppage of work, as well as resumption, #hall be general in all factories. It was stated this afternoon that the co-operative companies of the country will also adhere to this general stoppage and resumption plan. A uniform scale of wages, which will be an advance of 10 per cent over last year's #o-called Burns scale, was upon. As & result of the increase of wages there will be an immediate withdrawal of all current price lists on glass and another price ordered. = The manufacturers will meet at Columbus, O., tomorrow. PITTSBURG, Aug. 30.—As viewed in glass circles In Pittsburg the agreement offected at Detroit s the most important that has been reached among the window glass men in years. For the first time In four years the warring tactions have been brought to & peaceful state. The contention between the two workers' ' unions, which has been the source of n end of fighting and price cutting, s over the jobbers, who have quarreled with the ¢ producers, will now act in unison. The *“wages of both unions will be unifgrm, QWIS LT71 444 and for the first time the co-operative plants will be made to act on an equality Wwith the rest of the concerns. Heretofore they have always had greater freedom and * have been allowed to Start earlier and run longer. The walting by all factorles until the surplus stock of glass is #old means that ' &t least 1,000,000 boxes will have to be dis- posed of before any fires are lighted, and under present conditions of trade it fis Ukely that little will be done toward new stocks untll November. In the meantime thousands of skilled workers will remain in idleness, but are wiliing to do so to help demoralized trade to get on its feet. “Our Cave” in Chlcago. who has just Nt\lrn“ rts hnvlu’ met D, that the former "cur lcl!nluon, how in conuuflun 'l!h hlnulh 1 ed when he would ome, " id not when he 'olllfl 18- aid he firn o Omaha, or where he will be here- % IIIIII'r‘ on_the Box ’ ? z - - - - i ’ (0TS FOR FAIR VISITORS Linooln Merobant Looking Out for Oomfort of His Oustomers. CAMPMEETING AND COW CAUSE LAWSUIT Lineoln Chief of Police Wants Three More Men on His Regular Forece ~On Lookout for Fair Crooks. — From a Staff Correspondent.) L] 'OLN, Aug. 30.—(Special.)—One mer- chant of Lincoln has originated an idea which will get him much praise and at the same time render much good to visitors to the state fair. This man has just an- nounced that he intends to put twenty-five cots in a room In his store for the benefit ot his out-of-town customers who are un- able to secure sleeping quarters. This plan will In all probabiiity be followed by other the Commercial club open & bureau of information this week wheré all those who have rooms to rent are expected to list them. Visitors then can, by applying at the club rooms, secure sleeping quarters. While the largest crowd that ever attended a state fair s expected, it is the general belief that all will be well taken care of. The town has & number of good restaurants, the fair srounds are dotted with eating houses and the walters' strike has bscn declared off, hence there will be nothing wanting to make visitors comfortable. Work on the fair bulldings continued all day today and many sightseers were on the grounds. Several horses are now quar- tered there, Trouble Over a Cow. It is distinctly out of the ordinary for a law suit about sldewalks to grow out of the tale of a cow, but such, neverthe- less, is on the calendar here now. The contestants In the case that ls to be are Councilman Pentzéer and Thomas Ryan, and the prime cause of it was the right of Ryan's cow to browse around on the land known as the city park and there to switch her terminus in peace. Bome time ago Ryan went before the council and objected to Councliman Pentzer allowing the park to be used as a camp meeting place. Then Pentser ups and says that Ryan objected to the camp meeting because in the park he pastures his cow and she was of that disposition that she liked not the singing of the hymns and refused to “give down' when Ryan performed his function as milkmaid. This made Ryan wax extremely angry and personalities flew thick and fast, Ryan even going so far as to say that the coun- cllman had recently applauded when two colored girls gave a dance In the park. Instead of this knocking the pins from under the councilman, he not only ad- mitted it but said if Ryan had been there he would have thrown his hat In the air and demanded more dancing. But behind all these little pleasantries both men were getting anxious to play a knock-out card. Finally Pentzer ordered all fences that inclosed sidewalk sites in the park neighborhood to come down. Ryan's remained standing, and as a last effort to get even Pentzer yesterday or- dered the street commissioner to notify Mr. Ryan to bulld a sldewalk on the site marked out by the city, which sald sitc Mr. Ryan has Inclosed as his front yard. The notice was served, with the injunction that the sidewalk must be bulit in the next thirty days or the city would do the work and Ryan would have to pay for it. Ryan intends to stand pat and fight the suit ‘till the cows come home. He sald he had fenced that site in with his lot nineteen years ago and that he owns It and it will take not only the city but the entire state government, the militla and everything else to get it away from him. He is willing, however, he sald, to allow the city to build the walk out in the street and pay for it itself. And they do say that this cow which has caused all the trouble daes a cake walk in front of Pentzer's house every night at midnight. Chief Routzahn wants to Incr.ue the In a communication to the city council asking for the increase the chief stated that the duties of patrolling and protect- Ing the streets of Lincoln by the very few men allowed him requires their most care- ful and constant attention. In view of the fact that the patrolmen have many other duties besides walking a beat, such &8 serving papers and spocial assignments, the additional men are necessary. The chief points out also that special officers are employed from time to time to help the present force and that these officers g8t more pay than the regulars, which should not be. in view of the experience of the regular officers. And in the meantime even with a small police force, crime in Lincoln is at a low ebb. This is either due to the natural goodness of the people here or to the efficlency of the department in preventing crimes. During the last week not more than a half dozen arrests have been made and most of these were of men who were ®imply drunk or acted that way. Friday there was not one case called in polies court and Saturday there was only one. And this does not mean that the streets are reeking with drunkard: It means that nothing is doing here. Next week of course, during the State falr, it is expected that a large consign- plenfe among those who come to the fair, These same artists will find a warm re- ception when they strike town for the police are getting in shape to recelve them. They will be arrested as soon as they step from the train and elther made to move on or be kept in jall during the entire fair. To make themselves more proficient to deal with crooks the police have begun a regular weekly plstol practice. The first was held last Friday afterncon and the records made were surprising. The men shot on the run, standing sigzagging and many other ways at a distance of fifty feet cutting holes all over the center of ths bull's eye and never getting more than an inch or two from it. This practice wil be kept up untll Lincoln coppers will be known as the best shots in the land. Woman's Th Tora OR.

Miller secured the key with which he un- locked the stock yards gate from a box in which the keys ‘are kept in the chutehouse belonging to the company. According to nis own story he found the Key near the stock yards, but the stock yards mana ment say that would have been impossibi as the keys are all numbered and must be turned in ‘and accounted for by the em- ployes when the yards are.closed in . the evening. The box was examined as soon the yard company was made acquainted with the facts in the case and it was found that the key found in Miller's pocket was missing and that the box containing the keys was unlocked; It had not been broken open, but must have been left that way by the man who has the keys in charge. According to Miller's story he formerly Iived in Chicago, but left there about five years ago and has been living in various parts of the country. He went to South Omaha & few days ago in search of work. He secured a room at the Delmonico ho- tel and when he was almost out of money and there was no employment In eight he made up his mind that it was necessary to rase some mo; With that object in view he secured the key to the stock yards and Saturday night late he removed the horse, which he had in his possession, from one of the pens by unlocking the gate.

HIGH SEAS MAKE WORK DIFFICULT Satlors and Passengers Are Powerless to Help Themselves When Life Savers Reach Them with Assistance. NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—During a strong northeast gale eight miles east of High- lands, N. J., at 8:3 o'clock Saturday night the three-masted schooner Henry P. Ma- son, from Perth Amboy, N. J., for Port- Me., loaded with 1,100 tons of red clay, struck, it is believed, a submerged wreck at 1:30 o'clock this morning, sunk. The crew and two passengers of the schooner took to the vessel's small boat and after belng buffetted by the heavy seas all last night and part of today, were saved by the Sandy Hook life saving crew, who were towed out to the boat one mile oft Galilee by the New York Yacht elub boat, Navigator, on which was C. Oliver Iselin and Bert C. Leeds. The crew ot the lost boat reached Sandy Hook this afternoon in apparently good condition, and later reached this city. It is belleved the schooner will be a total loss. When Mason struck the mainmast and mizzenmast were broxen off short and the vessel started to leak badly. At 2 o'clock an anchor was dropped overboard, but it was soon discoyered that the vessel would not keep afloat and the crew and pas- sengers took to the ‘small boat. For a time they held to the stern of the sehooner, but as there was danger of it going to the bottom at any moment they cast oft and driftad. About a mile oft Galiles they made fast to a fish pond untll they were rescued. Life Savers Powerless. Repeated efforts were made by the life saving crews to launch a boat to go to the assistance of the shipwreck, but it was impossible to launch their boats on account of the heavy seas. Meanwhile word was sent to Sandy Hook for as- sistance and Mr. Iselin volunteered the service of Navigator to tow the life savers to where the small boat was in danger of being swamped. 1t was 11 o'clock this morning when Navigator located the twelve persons in thelr perilous position and it was fully an hour before they could be rescued. This was accomplished in as daring a manner as has been told in any s tale, fiction or fact. The big tug made several attempts to get near the yawl, and then finally going to winward of them cast off the life line. With splendid dexterity a line was sent trom the life boat to a pole on the fish pond and then was pald out until the yawl was reached. In such condition were the wrecked ones that they could not help themselves, and Captain Patterson and his crew had to simply lift them out. First came two women and then three sailors. Meantime under the direction of Mr. Iselin, Navi- gator's crew had thrown a dozen pails of ofl overboard, {0 the windward of the yawl so that the sea was calmed and the big tug had taken a position so that the wind dld not catch it on the beam. The women when brought aboard were carefully at- d, Mr. lIselin having taken along a chambermaid from the tender Sunbeam. Belleved Women Would Die. Captain Frost of Mason said that just before qulnm; had arrived they had _that the women would ale in a tew hours, and they had decided to try for the beach. He sald that Saturday when they were out near the lightship at anchor the Old Dominion Line steamer Hamiiton offered to take them off and he urged the women to go but they declined to leavé without the men. The men thought the storm would abate and they would get the boat to harbor in safety. During the night He belleves Mason struck something. Thousands slong the shore watched the clever work of the life savers. Twice the life boat was filled level with water, but it Is a self-baller and cleared Itself. Going down “in tow of Navigator was in itself a perllous thing in such a sea. Mr. Iselin said a special word of praise to the men, when they returned, and was in turn heartily cheered. When Captain Pat- terson asked for assistance Captain Barr of Rellance said: “I have fifty men, every one of them will volunteer to help it you want them.” Captain Patterson e plained that it was a tug and not the men that was needed. SOON PARTS WITH HIS MONEY Gustavas Strobick’'s Evening Omaha Costs Him Eighty Dol- lars and a Watch, Gustvus Strobick of Council Blufts gath- ered his earthly possessions together yes- terday afternoon and came to Omaha for & %00d time. While he was awake he had it, but he was not awake long enough. He had #0 in cash and a gold watch and chain valued at $35. Shortly after arriving in the city he met a couple of colored gentlemen who seemed very friendly, and together they repaired to & Capitol avenue saloon to imbibe a few drinks. Btrobick, when he was awakened at the corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, sald he had lost his valuables. He was taken to the station and there he told the story of how he had taken two drinks of some red stuff in the saloon. All he re- membered after taking the drinks was that three men had him in an alley. They were running him up and down and one of them had his hand in Strobick's pocket. The loser sald he did not seem to care very much about what became of him just at that time, so he did not resent the famil- larity. After exercising him with a couple of heats down the alley the men pushed him to one side and ran on, remarking that they did not have any further use for him and that they would hereafter refpse to speak to him when they, met. When told that he had been found asleep on the sidewalk, Strobick sald that must be a mistake @s he knew he had not been sleeping. When he first entered the sa- loon he gave one of the men % cents with which to shoot craps, on the agreement that he was to have half the winnings. He | was thinking something of going back to the saloon to see if anything was coming to him out of the game, but the police said they would accompany him to see if they could locate the three men while he was collecting his winnings. The police arrested seven colored men on the charge of being suspiclous char- acters and they will be held pending an investigation of the case. President Attends Churech.

The Chinese poetry is difficult to translate accurately, but the following is a literal rendition into English: “Loaded with clanking chains, I am taken trom prison; “By the Chen Chl gate I shall lay down my life. “On the execution ground there my old triends have showed thelr blood. “Five loyal and six learned, all Hukwang men of fame. “Japan and Russla are struggling for possession of Manchuria; henceforth the cradle of the race is lost to China, “Partition comes apace; I cannot bear to think of it. ““You rulers of the country, have you ever seen the plans of division? “Let all the public papers of the wide world, because of my burled wrongs, pub- lish the story of my death. “For making public two harmless clauses of a secret treaty, “Ching Kuang and Chung Luan have worked me thus woe. “The burden of my life now past, though I have conquered some, are now all of no avail. “Henceforth, come prosperity or disaster, I shall heed it not. “My spirit will find happiness chanting in heaven." Shien Chien had been particularly bold in denouncing the apathy of the govern- ment toward Russian absorption of Man- ochuria, A short time before his arrest he published two clauses of what purported to be a secret treaty, by ‘which China con- ceded New Chwang to the control of Russia. Being barred from communica- tion with the outside world, he died with the belief, as the verses show, that he had been betrayed by the officials, Ching Kuang and Chung Luan, the latter a friend with whom he had quarreled because he had revealed this treaty. The Chen Chi gate is the gate through which criminals are led from the board of punishments to the execution ground. “Five loyal and six learned, all Hukwang men of fame,” were the reformers from Hunan and Kwang Tung who were be- headed in 188 by order of the dowager after the coup d'etat removing the em- peror from power.

DEATH RECORD. Marshall W, Keanard, Marshall W. Kennard, one of Omaha's ploneer business men, died at his residence, 118 Douglas street, at 7:20 o'clock last night. Mr. Kennard had for a nufber of years been a great sufferer from stomach trouble, which two weeks ago became acute and confined him to his bed. On account of his age his death was not altogether un- expected. Mr, Kennard was born in Flushing, Bel- mont county, O., November 8, 183, und three years later his father moved to cen- tral Indiana, where he worked on his father's farm, and al various occupations, and later entered mercantile life in Ohfo. In 188 Mr. Kennard moved to Councll Bluffs and the succeeding year to De Soto, Neb.,, twenty-two miles- north of Omaha. There he conducted a general store for four years and In 1861 moved to Omuha, which has since been his home. In part- nership with his brother, the late Levi J. Kennard, he opened a general store, and they, in conjunction with A. J. Hanseom, bullt the first row of brick business houses in the city, two of which, 1408 and 1406 Douglas street, collapsed a fow days ago. About 1870 Mr. Kennard, having amassed a competency, retired from active business and since then attended simply to his real estate and other interests. He never took an active interest in politics, and belonged to only one order, the Elks. Mr. Kennard is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Dr. John D. Peabody of Bt. Petersburg, Fla, who returned to Omaha when her father's fliness became serious. Other relatives of the deceased are: Hon. T. P. Kennard of Lincoln, a brother, and Frank B. Kennard and Mil- ton Kennard, nephews. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. Mrs. Mary Bingley.

LONDON, Aug. 3.—Secretary of War Bl fhu Root, former Secretary of State John V7. Foster, Hannis Taylor and Judge John M. Dickinson arrived at Liverpool on Celtio today ior the meeting of the Alaskan Boundary commisston, which will open In London, Sejtember 3. They were recelved at Liverpool by Mr. Petherick, on behalt of the American embassy. The party came directly to London and on thelr arrival here were met by Secretary Carter of tha United States embassy. Mr. Root regls- tered at the Hyde Park hotel, while the other members of the party established themselves at the Carleton hotel. The Canadian commissioners are atso here. Ambassador Choate has arranged to give a dinner in honor of Secretary Root at which all the Americans will be present. The commissioners are already famillar with the facts of the case, on both sides, which were flled several months ago. At the first meeting of the commissioners next Thursday the Americans and Canadlans will submit thelr briefs, which wil be a condensation of the facts and arguments regarding the Interpretation of the treaty. The commission will then announce the day on which oral arguments will bo made. Bone of Contention, The Assoclated Press correspondent learns that the whole controversy centers upon Canada’s efforts to acquire an outlet to the sea. It fs known that the Canadfan agent asserts that under the Russo-British treaty of 1825 the line properly crossed numerous Inlets, Including the headwaters of t Lynn canal. The contentlon seems to be that the Inlets less than six miles wide, situated in the disputed reglon, belong to Canada, United States Counsel Foster vigorously opposes this view, holding that the treaty clearly places the line thirty miles inland, following the sinuositles of the coast, and thus separates Canada from all the arms of the ocean and puts' Porcupine creek and the gold district under American jurisdle- tion. The American representatives are confident that their position s unassaila- ble. The commlissioners expect that the com- plete consideration of the entire case will take less than two months, and even should the commission fall to render a majority award the facts will be clearly established. This will lead to an easler settlement in the future. Becretary Root Intends to take advantage of the recess between the filings of th briefs and the oral arguments to witness the British army maneuvers.

Would we spend s0 much on cleanliness? Would we cool the beer in plate glass rooms ? Would we filter all the air that touches it ? Would we age it for months ? Would we sterilize every bottle ?
