WASHINGTON, Aug. $1.—Chekid Bey, the Turkish minister, had a lohg interview: today with Becretary Hay. He refused to discuss the Interview, stating that he had nothing to communicate further than what appeared In the Associated Press dispatches Yesterday morning. After the Interview Secretary Hay visitsd the Navy department. If the Turkish min- ister requested that the European squadron be kept away from Turkish waters his re- Quest probably cannct be granted, even should this government desire to accede to it, as the Navy department states that It would be tmpossible to communicate with either Brooklyn or San Francisco until they arrive at Beyroot. Chekib Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish government had done nothing wrong and will use every endeavor to pro- tect American cltizens residing in Turkey. He also discussed the conditions of the in- surrection In Turkey and sald that the Turkish government was not responsible for any of the disasters that had occurred. Secretary lay's call upon Acting Secre- tary Darling was for the purpose of ascer- taining the whereabouts of the European squadron and also what ita orders are. There 18 no intention of changing any or- ders at present, especially as the ships can- not be reached until they arrive at Beyroot. No messages of importance have been re- cetved from Ministr Lelschman today. Reports Do Not Agree. Late dispatohes from Minister Leishman give in detall the conditions in Turkey and do not differ materially in tone from those previously sent. Minister Lelshman does not, as reported In some quarters, request the withdrawal of the American ships from Turkish waters. ‘While reports by way of London state that no attempt was made upon the life of Vice Consul Magelssen official advices 8o far recelved ow that such an attempt | was made. The present status was known before the ships left Genoa and this gov- ernment did not decide to change the orders. It 1s now stated, however that should | !lrn be w 1l condition at arrive there the punrofnn‘! them to another point will be and possibly adopted. The Turkish minlster made no request upon Becretary Hay at the interview to- day regarding the movement of United Btate war vessels and nothing on this matter was promised by the State depart- ment. In one of the dispatches from Minister Yelshman he refers to the question of the trial of one of the teachers in one of the missions at Harpoot and the minister in- formed the department that he can see nothing frregular in the trial, but at the request of the missionaries he Is seeing to it that no Injustice fs done. The man was arrested charged with sedition. formal Represe: Some question has been ralsed as to whether Chekib Bey s an actual minister of Turkey, because his credentials have * pot been presented and he has not yet been officlally received as minister by the presi- dent. No point is made by the State de- partment on this account and Becretary Hay considers of Turkey to the United States. The pre- penting of the credentials is a mere for- mality, as the State department s aware that the minister has been duly accred- fted by his government and has his cre- dentials with him. It is sald at the Navy department today #that although there are two colllers now in Turkish waters, Brutus and Alexander, An tve. there Will probably be no necessity for holding them in order to supply the Euro- pean squadron with coal. All three of the ihips have their bunkers filled, ‘was sald that this supply would last them for some time; but should any emergency arise requiring the warships to coal quickly they can do 80 at a number of Mediterranean ports where the govern- ment has contracts with dealers.

EXISTING CONDITIONS RESPONSIBLE Sultan Sald to Favor Hostiliti Nelther Coantry is F Able to Enter Long C I Struggle. SOFIA, Aug. 31.—Both in offictal and revolutionary circlues the opinion js freely held that war between Bulgaria and Turkey is imminent, and can be averted by nothing short of a miracie. It is not expected that elther government will formally de- clare hostilities, but that the prevailing conditfons will force on a war. There is no question that large numbers of insurgents have recently crossed the frontier. An extensive outbreak in north- ern Macedonia is possible any day. The Autonomle priats a telegram from Con- stantinople declaring that the sultan, in- fluenced by the counsels of Germany, now favors a war with Bulgaria. The Turks here, however, take an optimistic view, asserting that there is no danger of ‘a way, as Turkey does not desire one and Prince Ferdinand and the present Bul- garian government are not in a position to force hostilities, The Bulgarian agent at Uskub reports that the detachments of Turkish troops sent to garrison the small towns in that vilayet have spread destruction along their route; the villagers have been robbed and beaten, the women violated and the Chris- tlan population subjected to every con- celvable outrage, while the local author- ities appear to be helpless to stop the atrocities. At the village of Dracheve, six miles from Uskub, the soldiers attackel all the peasants without the interference of the gendarmes. The Bulgarian agent specifies similar excesses in many other villages and the position of the Bulgarian residents is reported to be terrible, as the cruelties committed by the Turkish au- thorities exceeded all limits. Up to 6 o'clock this evening Prince Fer- dinand had not arrived in Sofla and the court officlals declare that they are with- out information as to his movements. Prince Causes Anxlety. The nonarrival here of Prince Ferdinand and the mystery surrounding his move- ments, although characteristic, he having always maintained similar reticence and independence regarding his movements, causes anxiety here. One report says the prince has gone through Roumania to the palace of Euxinograd, near Verna, while: according to another report he is at Phil- lippolis. In Macedontan circles it is be- lieved that he fears to return to Sofla owe ing to the receipt of threatening letters.

Bulgarian Villages Burne SALONICA, Aug. 31.—The Turks have oc- cupled Kifssura without opposition. A number of Bulgarian villages in its vicin- ity were burned. Inspector General Hilm! Pasha recently sent a commission com- posed of five Christians and five Turks to offer amnesty to the Insurgents on condi- tion that they lay down thelr arms before the great feast tomorrow in honor of the sultan’s coronation. The revolt has become general at Cases and Yenidje, twenty-five miles from Salon- ica and is spreading to Gherglhel and Tkhewsh, sixty-five miles from Salonica, Serafoff, the revolutionary leader, has arrived in the neighborhood of Salonica for the purpose of directing the movements in this direction. Some Turkish officers, Aug- ust 19, sold fifteen cases of Martini rifles and a quantity of ammunition to Bul- garians, SOFIA, Aug. 31.—Nine hundred refugees from Malkotirnovo and surrounding vil- lages have arrived at Urumku, Bulgaria. The refugees say the Turkish garrison fired upon the Bulgarlan port of Malkotirnovo with the object of creating an impression that a revolution was in progress. The prefect summoned the Bulgarian notables and endeavored to force them to sign a statement that the {nsurgents were the aggressors. The notables refused to do so and the first man who refused was hanged the next day. BELGRADE, Servia, Aug. 31.—Two hun- dred well armed volunteers, including four officers, left here for Macedonia during the night. KUSTENDJI, Roumania, Aug. 8.— Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria embarked here at midnight on the Bulgarian gunboat Nadieja and sailed for Burgas, Bulgaria.

That child, however, was never produced in the flesh, and the attorney never disclosed the iden- tity of the mother, Attorney Cannon, in an interview, sald of the alleged will: “I believe it is a fake, and I will not ask that it be admitted for probate. As far as the child of Charles L. Fair 1s concerned, 1 have nothing further to say at this time.” Attorneys and others interested in the estate of the late Charles L.

Member Homan introduced the resolution, which commended the action of the police commissioners and the chiet in trying to prevent the sale of liquor In drug stores. The secretary was instructed to confer with the commissioners about the clubs and to request the enforcement of the law. Mr. Homan' told something about the clube. He sald he knew of seven or eight, several of them dispensing more lquor than a great many saloons, and one, ac- cording to reliable report, about three times as much as the ordinary grogshop. They were doing business on a $25 govern- ment license, he wald, and two clubs had been organized recently with the Naquor traffic as the real and ultimate object. According to Mr. Homan, this kind of scheme to evade the high license fee is growing contagious. . He told about one place, not a club and not a drug store, where he had seen Immense quantities of whisky and wine carried away. The reso- lution met with no opposition whatever.

The board decided to provide for the teaching of first year high school studies in the Comenius school on the south side, provided that no less than thirty puplls were secured and no extra teaching ex- pense entalled. Member Levy explained that this branch high school is in the na- ture of an experiment. The teachers' com- mittee had wrestled with the problem for a long time and falled to reach a con- clusion.

Finish, 3:00:851 Race 3:21:00 called oft Start, L1145 n Rellance Bhamrock NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Again today the beautiful cup defender Rellance failed to register 1ts third victory over Lipton's challenger because the wind died to nothing and the time limit of five and & half hours expired befora It could reach the finish line. Its margin was approximately the same as on Thursday last. It was less than half a mile from the finish when the gun sounded. Shamrock ITT was a faint blur on the horizon, fully two and a half miles astern. Rellance’s failure to score the race was the more exasperating because its ulti- mate triumph is now conceded even by Sir Thomas himself to be simply a formality. The supe-iority of the Herreshoff boat In any kind of weather is acknowledged by the yachting crities of both sides of the Atlantic and today's fluke only prolongs the agony of the contest that has already been decided. The waning interest in the cup races was strikingly {llustrated by the sizo of the observation flcet, If the crowd which went down to the ocean course to- day could be dignified by such a title. Out- #ide of the revenue outters which patroled the course it consisted of half a dozen side-wheelers with almost empty decks, a few seagolng tugs and a score of steam yachts. Race in Rough Sea. The easterly wind and rain last night had served to knock ‘down the sea some- what, although it was rough enough the first two hours of the race to make the excursion boats tumble about a good deal and the yachts to plunge and stagger on thelr way to the outer mark. But as the day wore on the wind hauled to the north and fell to a mere zephyr, hardly strong enough to round out the enormous can- vasses of the sloops, and the sea subsided to & smooth surface. The race was spiritless from the begin- ning. It was laid fifteen miles to windwara up the Long Island shore and re Tts saving feature was the start, In whlch Captain Wringe, by & pretty piete of ma- neuvering, neatly turned the tables on the Yankee skipper and captured the windward berth. BEven so, the yachts crossed the line abreast like a harnessed team of horses. Shamrock's Worst Defeat. But within fifteen minutes the defender was showing its heels to the challenger, and when the float at the outer mark was reached Rellance rounded it twenty min- utes and twenty-three seconds ahead of its rival, | In the five times the boats have met this was by far the worst beating Shamrock 11T has had in windward work. The interest after that was as to whether Reliance would be able to reach the finish line In time to score the race. The racers waited about Sandy Hook lightship until 10:45, when Navigator sig- nalled that the starting line would be shifted and the race postponed until later in the day. After running five miles south from the lightship Navigator signalled a windward and leeward course, From east northeast a five-knot wind was blowing. The easterly gale had left a long, heavy sea running and as-the yachts Jockeyed about the starting line they litted their long bows high out of the water on top of the swell and pounded the sea Into a froth. Captain Wringe Wins Point, For the first time in the series Captain Wringe of Shamrock I1L cleverly out-gen- eraled the redoubtable Captain Barr in the preliminary jockeying. Five minutes before the start Captain Barr held the windward berth, then both ran away from the line, Bhamrock leading. Two minutes before th starting gun Shamrock headed up Into the wind, tacked, forced Rellance to do the same, and both ran for the line, Rellance leading. They reached it before the start- ing gun and Rellance had to run along the lee side of it to awalt the gun. Shamrock reached the line as the gun sounded, and not having to sheer off, secured the weather position It was a trick which Captain Barr had worked often but never with better fineness or more satisfactory results. The official starting time of both yachts was 11:45:%. The first tack, flve minutes after cross- ing the line, put SBhamrock 111 ahead, but under the lee bow of Rellauce. Captain Wringe gave his boat a good full and the way it began to walk away from the de- fender made it look as though it had found itself at last. But this was for only a few minutes. When he began to pinch into the wind it was apparent that Re- liance was outpointing the challenger and altogethor making better work ‘of it They held on one tack, east, southeast, for nearly an hour. During that time the defender worked up to windward a §00d quarter of a mile. When Reliance tacked Shamrock 111 refused to follow, so Barr put his craft on the pert tack agaln. This placed Reliance & mile north of Hhamrock I1I. Wind Helps Reliance, Fitteen minutes later the wind suddenly shifted to the northeast and placed the American boat that distance dead to wind- ward, not half of which it had actually earned. From that time Reliance gained steadily The yachts could now head within two points of thelr course. They held the tack for twenty minutes and then made short Litches in which Rellance steadily got the better of it. When off Long Beach &t 1:45, the defender was two miles ahead, having added the second mile by literally outpointing the challenger and at the same time maintaining equal speed. The mark was then in plain view and the wind was softening. Afier a long board of shere, Rellance made several short hitches which brought it to the turn The challenger's cause was absolutely hopeless when the defender rounded the mark, The Britiah boai wes more than
