CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 7.—War be- I8 now re garded here as inevitable, eved that the outbreak of hostilities will occur before the end of Beptemper. It is not thought that there will be a formal declaration of war, in view of Rulgaria’s status, but that some frontier incident will precipitate #he hostilities. The Bulgarians and Kacedonians resid- ing in Constantinople are in terror of massacre, A large number of them wers arrested a few days ago and they have not been released. An inslgnificant incident might lead to massacre, The terrible accounts recelved regarding (he conduct of (he Turkish troops “havn not surprised the officials, but many who have hitherto bLeen optimistic in their ‘views now accept the prevailing belief that Turkey is on the eve of n catastrophe.

BOF1A, Sept. T.—The revolutionary head- quarters received ' information today that the Turks have burned or otherwiso de- stroyed nearly all the villages in the dis- trict of Kastoria, near the Greek frontier. The villages In that district were the Jargest in Macedonia, each having from 1,000 to 3,000 inhabitants. Among the lars- est burned was Zagoritchani, Dumbeni, Kenomladi, Mokrent and Kosinetz. Alto- gether about twenty-five villages in that part of Macedonia have been destroyed. It is added that 300 women and children, tives from Zagoritchani, went to the ish commander of the district to seek mssistance and protection from the Bashi- Basouks. The commander promised them protec- tion, but when the fugitives left the Bashi- Bazouks pursued, outraged and killed many of the women and children: The Turkish government concentrated 15,000 soldiers In the Kastoria district, who ware openly burning villages. In ofMelal eircles there is a suspicious ab- sence of news from the interior of Mace- donia, and also from Adrianople, and it is feared that the conditions there are stead- 1ly becoming worse. Would Force Bulgaria to War, The Macedonian organizations are strain- ing every nerve to force Bulgaria Into a war. Latge and small bands are cressing the frontier of northern Macedonia, where General Zontcheft and Colonel Jankoff are organizing the Insurrectionary movement, which is expected to break out In the val- ley of the Struma before the end of the week. The Macedonlan committees wure prosecuting an active campalgn to ralse funds In, Bulgaria. They are addresaing letters to everybody In & position to con- tribute to the cause. ‘The applications usually do not refer to the revolutionary movement but ask ald for the starving and homeless fugitives from Macedonia. Where wealthy cltizens decline to subscribe the organizations do not hesitate to make strong represeutations. A rich merchant of Philippopolis was recently told that un- less he contributed $5,000 his house would " be blown up. Several fights are reported from the district of Losengrad. At the Bashi-Bazouk village of Basara the Turks | lost twenty men. At Tersidere a band fought 30 soldiers all day with the result that the Turks had thirty-seven men killed while the Insurgent's loss was five. At Prespan In the Okrida district fighting has long been proceeding between insurg- ent bands and an army of 2,00 Turks. The latter are reported to have lost more than 200 killed or wounded. Another engagement lasting all day has been fought at Pry- bilisth, Monastir villayet, in which the Turkish loss was given at forty and the in- surgent loss at five. A band led by Jankoft Stoysnoff has destroyed the village of Gor- inokavieve, Carlosengrade, a notorious haunt of Turkish brigands. The newspa- per Poshta asserts that all the villages in the distriet of Leron are burning. Accord- ing to revolutionary estimates. Turkey has now in Macedonia an army of 75,000, with 3,300 horses and #0 guns. Porte Expeets War. SALONICA.

Just before Mr. Robinson was introduced, Mr. Shaffer & rived in a carrfage and made his way to the platform, not recognized by the crowd. He looked pale and showed signs of ex- haustion. After Mr. Robinson's address President Shafter was introduced. In a husky voice he said: ) The thin lwou.ldngq}dfly“l-u Keep still and say nothi ‘WO years a 1 made a mistake by trying to make 13, ople hear me, and as A result of such ef- orts T am reduced physicaily.

He was then driven away in company with John Bradley, a prominent labor man.

Thornton, the pany, was assaulted today during the | labor parade because he was driving one of | his own teams without having a union card in his possession. Mr. Thornton hitched three horses to one or more of children out to see the parade. guests, For three hours he stood with his wagon at the corner of Jackson boulevard and Clark street and watched the parade, and when he attempted to drive away he was stopped by some of the teamsters in the parade, who asked if he had a unlon card. He tried to explain that he needed no card, that it was his own team and that he was doing no hauling. Several hundred men gathered around the wagon and at- tempted to pull him off. An escort of po- lice enabled him to get several blocks away, when a mob numbering fully 1,00 caught up with him. He whipped up his sued, when finally the mob cut the harness of his horses into small pleces, beat the animals with canes, compelling them to run away, and then beat Thornton badly. Thornton employs a large number of teamsters, all of whom are members of the | union, and has never had any trouble with | the organization before today.

DEADWOOD, 8. D., Sept. 7.—Delegates to the American Mining congress began to arrive in large numbers on the late trains last night and at noon today the registra- tion books in the office of Becretary Mahon of the mining congress contaired the names of several hundred. Interest in the proceedings of tha congress was given an impetus by the arrival of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw and Gov- ernor Herried and staff of South Dakota at noon. Other prominent arrivals included a | number of those who will deliver addresses before the congress, notably John L. Web- | ster of Omaha, E. W. Parker of Washing- {ton, D. C, and Dr. J. E. Todd, state geologist of South Dakota. | Theodore Roosevelt, jr., accompanied by | Captain Seth Bullock, superintendent of the | Biack Hills forest reserve, whose guest he has been for several weeks, was an in- | terested spectator about the streets of ! Deadwood today, taking in the splendid | exhibit of Black Hills ores at the mining | palace, and meeting many mining men here | to attend the congress. 1t was raining and | young Roosevelt presented a picturesque | appearance in a yellow slicker and rain helmet. A reception to delegates, speakers and miners will be given at 8 o'clock tonight at Hotel Franklin. Shaw Sees Mines, Becretary Shaw today showed Black Hills people that he is &trenuous. He said he was feeling well and enjoying the trip ex- ceedingly. The secretary reached Deadwood about noon and went to the home of Congressman ¥. W. Martin, whose guest he will be while | here. Soon after dinner, accompanied by a young son of the congressman, the sec- retary climbed to the top of White Rocks, | overlooking Deadwood from the south side, | and which have an elevation of just one| mile above sea level, the apex being 750 ! feet above the street level. On his way he | passed through Mount Moriah cemetery, { where ““'Wild BIll" Hickok and “Calamity"” { Jane lie buried side by side. Returning from his climb the secretary | was taken to the Franklyn hotel, where he | shook hands with @ number of prominent | Deadwood men and others who are here to| attend the American Mining congress. Mr. | Shaw said he wanted to see all he could in | his limited time &nd especially desired to | luo to Lead and see something of the vast | | mining industry there. 8o, accompanied by Congressman Martin, Master Martin and a press representative, he started at 4 o'clock by trolley rallroad. At Lead the party was conducted by a mine superintendent through many upper workings and plants of one of the great mining companies, climbing dark lofty | stairways ot noisy stamp mills, whare ore | was seen through various stages, from crushers, through 200 stamps and over amalgamated plates. He watched the ore | hoisted from lower levels of mines, saw enormous holsting engines, inspected cya nide plants, all of which are upon so large | a scale that the inspection entalled long | walks and many steep climbe. The secre- tary evinced intense interest at every step. At one shaft which penetrated to a depth of 1,30 feet, the secretary looking down and noting the rapidity with which the cages were raised and lowered, turned and |sald to Congressman Martin: “Oh, 1 should like to go down,” & wish he ex- | pressed more than once during the hurried trip. But time was too limited to permit bis going down Into the mines. At one testing room a test of ore was made solely for the secretary's edification, | a sample belng crushed in minfature, one stamp mill being propelied by tompressed | alr, bust being “panned” in pecullar old | fashioned gold pan, which early miners used in California.

Be- sides, he said, he would rather ride on an engine than any other way; the greater the speed the greater his pleasure. The secretary, in response to a question, I sala that even with his knowledge of the sum of the output of gold, of this place, it had not given him a proper conception of the scale of the Lead mining industry nor of the gigantic works which are necessary contributors to its enormous gold produc- tion. The secretary attended the reception glven to the mining delegates at the Frank- | Iyn hotel at § o'clock, which was upon a most simple and rather informal scale. At b o'clock Tuesday morning Mr, Shaw will g0 to Tinton, & new town sixteen miles northwest of Deadwood, In what is known as the Nigger Hill district, which claims to possess a deposit of tin of commercial fm- portance. The secretary explained, in ac- cepting the invitation to go, that he was going, “because it Is & new industry,” as well as to avall himself of an opportunity to see as much of the surrounding country possible. He will return to Deadwood in time to deliver his address before the American Mining congress at 3:30 p. m. He will leave at 6 p. m. Tuesday for the east, arriving at Chicago v Northwestern line Thursday morning. Thence he will go di- rect to New York in order to meet Mrs. fhaw and his daughter, who are to arrive trom Europe Baturday.

Resolution on After a lapse of two months the North Side, Improvement club's weekly meetings have been resumed. The meeting last e Ing Was largely attended. It had been called especially to discuss the proposition of an extension of the electric lighting franchise. W. I. Kierstead early in the meeting introduced a resolution that it was the sense of the club that no extension of contract should be granted. He spoke at some length on the question. B. F. More. arity also spoke In favor of the adoption of the resolution. There was practically no opposition to the resolution of Mr. Kier- stead, which, after debate, was adopted vnanimously. 1t reads: Resolved, That the members of the North Omaha Improvement club are opposed to | the extension of the electric lighting con- tract for the reason that it will prevent municipal ownership, which we belleve will Dbe obtalned by the time the present light- ing contract expires. We are further op. | posed to_the monopoly of the lighting of the clty by the electric light company, for reason that we believe better results may be obtained by competition. and we much prefer the Welsbach gas post, in the resldence portion, instead of the poles and wires of the electric light company, which are a dangerous nuisance, detracting much from the beauty of our residence stroets. Resolutions condemning the action of the Grocers' assoclation in opposing the estab- | lishment of the new market of Capitol avenue were introduced by Mr. Johnson and unanimously adopted. The club voted to send delegates to the next regular meet- ing of the Central Improvement club. PROTECTING SCHOOL ROOMS Board of Education Will Not Allow Improvement Clubs to Use Them. The Board of Education decided last night not to permit the use of schools by im- provement clubs. The ruling was made on the request of the West Omaha Improve- ment club for the use of certain school rooms once a week, the club having been forced to relinquish its former quarters. A report adverse to granting the request was brought in by the committee to which it Ind been referred, the resson heing that if granted similar requests would follow in'varfous parts of the eity which would entall difficulties ard annoyance irimical to the best interests of the schools. There- fore it was decided not to set the precedent and to revoke all previous privileges of the kind that have heen granted.

Promptly upon his arrival. the precident was introduced by Lieutenant Governor Higgins, president of the state fafr commission. After cheering bad sub- Alded, the prosident spoke. as fpllows: .- In speaking on r-u Aanntia| fair of the .-’#’&' tate A%cbl!url} association, it is natural to keep especially in mind the two bodies who com the majority of our people and upon Whose wel- fare depends the welfare of the entire stato. If circumstances are such that thrift, en- ergy, industry and forethought enable the farmer, the tller of the soll, on the ona hand and the wageworker on the other, to keep themselves, their wives and their chil- dren in reasonable comfort, then the state 18 well off, and we can be assured that the other ‘classes in the community will likewise pros; On the “other hand," It there is In the long run a lack of pros- perity among the two classes named, then all ather prosperity is sure to be more seeming than real.” It has been our pro- found good fortune as a nation that hitherto, disregarding exceptional periods of depression and the normal and inev- ftable fluctuations, there has been on the whole from the beginning of our goveri- ment to the present day a progressive bei- terment alike in the condition of the tiller of the soll &nd in the condition of the man who, by his manual skill ‘and labor, sup- orts himself and his family, and endeavors o bring up his children 6o'that they may be at least as well off as, and If possible better off, than heé himself has been. There are, of course, exceptions, but as & whole the’ standard of living among the farmers of our country has risen from generation to generation, and the wealth represented on the farms has steadily increased, while the wages of labor have likewise risen, both as regards the actual money patd and as regards the purchasing power which that money represents Prosperity's Ble % Gemeral. Side by side with this increase In th; prosperity of the wage-worker and the til- ler of the soll has gone on a great inkreas in the prosperity among the business men and among cerfain classes of protsicnat men; and the prosperity of thees mmi hus been’ partly the cause and partly the con- sequence of the prosperity of farmies and orker. It can not be o0 often re- peated that in this country, in the iong run, we all of us tend to go up or g5 down together. 1f the average of well nel; high, it means that the average W worker, the average farmer, and the av age business man are ail allke well off. the average shrinks, there fs not one of these classes which will not feel the shrink- age. Of course there are always some men who are not affected by good times, just as there are some men who are nc 4 fected by bad times. But speaking broadly it 1s true that if prosperity comes all of us tend to share more or less therein, and that if adversity comes, each of to a reater or less extent, feels' the tension. “nfortunately, in this world the Innocent frequently find themselves obliged to pay some of the penalty for the misdeeds of the gullty: and so If hard times come, whether they be due to our owa# fault of to our misfortune, whether they be due to some burst of -spéculative frenzy that has caused a portion of the business world to lose its head—a loss which no legislation can possibly supply—or whether they be due to any lack of wisdom in a portion of the world of labor—in each case the trouble once started is felt more or less in every walk of life. Doetrine of Independence, us, It is all-essentlal to the continuance of our nnuhr national Mfe that we should recognize this community of interest among our people. The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us, and therefore in public life that man 1s the best representative of each of who seeks to do good to each by doing good to all; in other words, wh. endeavor it is, not' to represent any special clags and promote merely that class's sel( ish interests, but to represent a honest men ‘of all wections and classes and to work for their interests by working for our common country We can keep our goverment and healthy basis, we can make and keep our social system’ what it should be, only on_condition of judging each man, not us = member of a class, but on his worth as man. It is an infamous thing in our Ameri can life, and fundamentally treacherous to our insfitutions, to apply fo any man an test save that of his personal worth, to draw hotween two sets of men any di tinction save the distinetion of conduct, 1 distinetion that marks off those who well and wisely from those who do {Il an foolishly.
