TALK OF COALITION AGAINST TURKEY Bulgaria, Servia and Mortenegro May Join Hands in Effort te Free Province from Mos- lem Ru'e. LONDON, Sept. 13—~Rumors come from Vienna and ‘elsewhere regarding tie Balkan crisis and whilat it is impossible to confirm the more sensational statements, there Is accumulation of evidence that some violent solution cannot long bs de layed. The Sofia correspondient of the Daily Telegraph rends under Siturlay's dute another long dispatch warmly de- fending Bulgaria‘'s patient and quixotic at- titude of loyalty toward the porte and the powers and denouncing Europe's indiffer- ence to the wiping out of & large Christian community. He says: “Bulgaria has displayed unexampled moderation. Its last urgent request to the powers was that they should compel Turkey to suppress the rising by legiti- mate methods of warfare, but to spara women and_children from indignities and massacres. But even this Chr.stian Europe has refused and Prince Ferdinani's giv- ernment haying fully consicered the ques. tlon and aware of the disastrous conse- quences with which the powers threaten Bulgaria If It Intervenes, has decided that it cannot longer neglect iy sacred duty to prevent the Chriatlan populatin being done 1o death. “In a couple of days more the die will be cast and Bulgaria will do its duty. An officlal communication will be made to the powers In the above indicated rense and forthwith the necessary measures will be taken and only countermanded 1f the powers Immedlately intervene. This Is Bulgarfa's last word. The moral responsi- bility will fall upon Christian Europe even it the material consequences have to be endured by Bulgarda.” Large Forces Collected. A dispatch from Constantinople to the Standard says large forces are being col- lected to the north and northwest of Con- stantinople, where in the event of war the first fighting Is expected to occur, and though allusions to any plan of campaign is strictly censured, it may be assumed that German advice during recent years had not left Turkey unprepared this time. From' Vienna . the _semi-officlal -umm"fimifir Tias -m:-‘pnpio.n 10 the powers to admonish Bulgaria, but that so far nothing has come of the propo- sition. The Neues Pester Journal, often well in* formed, accuses Russia of openly assisting the Macedonian revolutionists, even sending them arms, its object being gradually to exclude Austria from influence in Balkan affairs. The puper even alleges that the Austrian government has asked Count Tamedorft, the Russian forelgn minister, to explain_this ambigious dealing. The Morning Post's correspondent, who is traveling in Macedonla, writes from Kirk- Kilisse and Arlanople declaring that the accounts of massacre and pillage spread by the revolutionists have been greatly ex- aggerated, but, the writer confesses, in common with many Constantinople corre- spondents, that thé Dbehaviour of the Albanian troops has been exceedingly bad and that they are quite out of hand, pilla- ging and burning wherever possible in spite of the attempts of the local troops to pre- vent them. Say Rislug is Suppressed. ‘The Monastir corresponient of the Daily Mall has had an Interview with the com- mander of the vilayet Naszir Pasha, in which the latter asserted that the rising was absolutely Auppressed. He admitted the truth of the burnings and atrocities, but accused the Bulgarian insurgents of com- mitting them. Adispatch from Salonica, dated Saturday, reports a fresh discovery of explosives at the office of a Bulgarian, whoa was arrested but afterwards liberated, at the time of the last explosion. It 18 reported from Constantinople that no forelgn military attackes have gome to Mohastir, but \anothier American warship, predumably Machias, has arrived at Bey- root. The correspondent of tme Times at Sofia “It would be very inadvisable for the powers to address admonitions to Bulgaria at the present moment, because it would strengthen, on the eve of the elections, the handk of the opposition party, which is trying to foment a bellicose agitation in order te overthrow the present government The infiiction of & needless humillation upon the government, which was endeav- oring to convinge the nation of the folly of an adventurous policy, would be merely playlng into the hands of the war party.” Servia May Mix In. The Dally Mail's correspondent at Sofia, in & dispatch dated SBeptember §, seads an interview he had with Tartarscheff, the chief of the revolutionary committee, in which the latter reported that there was a strong probabllity of Servia throwing in Its lot with Bulgaria against Turkey, and thdt the question of war or no war depended mainly on Servia. Tartarscheff declined to commit himself to detalls, but admitted that negotlations were proceeding between his committee and Servia, and also that the Servian committee sent scouts to join the revolutionists in Bulgaria in order to report the latter's program. Captain Sarafoff, the brother of the revolutionary chief, who ‘was Also present at the Interview. went fur- ther than Tartarscheff and alleged that it was weeks ago Agreed that at the slightest provocation the Servian forces should in- vade old Servis and occupy Uskub. ‘was hinted that Montenegro would also be heard from i Albanls and that Turkey ‘would thus be compelled to divide its forces here, much reducing Its chances of victory. The Thues publishes a long dispatch from Mouastir, In which, as the result of his own observations and those of other re- liable Witnesses, the correspondent fully confirme the descriptions of the Turkish extermination of the Christlan population in the vilayet of Monastir, which, he avers. is belng carried out whole-heartedly and indiscriminately by regulars and Bashl- Bagzouks, between whom there is litte to ¥ it | TALK OF AMERICANS ABROAD | Numbers of Them Making Prepara- tions (o Return to Thelr Own Country, (Copyrighted, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)

Miss Choate returned from Lord | Dunraven's place in Ireland on Tuesdav. She is enthusiastic about her first Irish visit, In which she saw all the south of Ireland, including Killarney. She did some golfing, fishing, boating and cycling and enjoyed herself immensely. The ambas- sador is too busy with the Alaskan bound- | ary people to get off for a holiday until the commission has left London. Mr. Root, secretary of war, is away do'ng a round of vists. Among others he has been staying with Lord Roberts and War Secretary Brodrick, and is now in Scot- land for the shooting. Radgely Carter, second secretary of the embagsy, has also gone to Scotland for the shooting: Mr. and Mrs. Choate, junier, sailed on the Oceanic on Wednesday. There has been the usual mystery about | the movements of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Van- derbllt, who, according to a statement given out here, only came to London to see oft Mrs. Vanderbilt's two sons and daugh- ter, who sailed for home with J. C. White, Secretary Henry White's son, on Wednes- | day. The latter is entering for a Harvard law course. The whole party spent Sat- urday to Monday at Mr. White's country house, Willin Park, Beaconsfield, where they were joined for luncheon on Sunday by the duke of Marlborough, who motored over from Blenhelm. Mr. and Mrs. Van- derbilt returned to Paris on Monday. Since Mr, Vanderbilt's visit there lai Saturday the work at Hlandford house h: been carried on with renewed vigor and, it is said, that he has promised to do every- thing necessary to enable the duke and duchees of Marlborough to take porsession of the house next March. The duke sticks hard to his new wotk at the colonial office, attending regularly every day for several hours, but If, as commonly alleged, Secre- tary “Chamberial's_‘object in ®) ting him was to play him off against Winston Churchill as a supporter of the protection- ist policy, the duke has been too Giscreet to commit himself on that subject.

THINKS DUKE HAS DONE WELL King Edward Commends Engagement | [ tws between Goelet, (Copyright, 1%, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Sept. 13.—(New York World Cablegram — Special ~ Telegram.) — When King Bdward heard of the duke of Rox- burghe's engagement to Miss May Goelet, 'he sald: “Well done, Roxburghe." The king regards all such marriages with high approval, being painfully aware from the duke's experience that English soctety | needs money more than anything to keep | it alive. The match was the prime topic of discussion at the Doncaster races, where smart society foregathered for the first time since the London season ended, and there was much speculation as to whether the new duchess would be a serious com- petitor for soclal laurels with the other American duchesses, of whom Consuelo, duchess of Manchester, is the greatest power. The duke of Roxburghe will take a big T omdon house, as he now rents only an insignificant little box in Chesterfleld street. Owing to the attenuation of his income by depreclation of agricultural land, heavy expenses in main‘aining his estates and providing jointures for his mother and sisters, he has been obliged to live very quietly. He intends now to go in for politics, giving up the army. The new duchess will start with a big social pull, not only by reason of her husband's position, but because she s con- nected with the great Buccleuch-Durham. Abercorn clan, ‘and on her husband's side with the Churchill family in all its Im portant ramifications, while the dowager Auchess of Roxburghe has great influence at court and particularly with the queen. 1t only needs ambition on the part of the new duchess, backed by everything that wealth, rank and connections can giv to make her one of the most importan | social personages in England. When she comes to London she will command more royalities for her parties than any other | duchess, as her husband has more friends in royal circles than any of his ducal rivals. Worth is already at work on the trous au, which will be distinctly according to Miss Goelet's own taste, not her mother's, When Miss Goelet made her debut in Lon- don at ghe age of 18 Mrs. Goelet insisted that she should wear the traditional whit trock of the debutante wherever she went, | but Miss May was obdurate and managed to wear the more becoming pink and blue frocks she still sticks to in the evenings White, she says, doesn't become her.

WILLEMSTAD, Tsland of Curacao, Sept 13.~From every section of Venezuela troops wore sent last week in the direction of the Colombian frontler and toward Maracaibo. Mauser rifles, artillery and ammunition in great quantity have been stored at Mara- calbo and several new bridges have been built toward San Cristobal, near the fron- tler of Colombia, to allow of the rapid concentration of troops. President Castro has asked the president of each state for two battalions within two weeks. A leading Venezuelan citizen, in an inter- view regarding these military movements in Venezuela, sald he belleved they were only precautionary measures regarding Co- which, now the country is free from revolution, has reinforced recently its army on the Venezuclan frontier, near Cucuta. Other Venezuelans say a Venez- uelan war with Colombia s inevitable in the near future, as a consequence of the eympathy President Castro extended to the Colombian rebels during the recent re- bellion because of the guestion of naviga- tlon on the Orinoco. President Castro's great idea, they say, is a war with Co- tombia. Venezueln Refuses to Pay. PORT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad, Sept. 13.~British government officials who have returned here from Caracas report that the Venezuelan government has re- fused up to now to pay its share of the fees of the forelgn umplres In the matter of the claims against Venezuela, amounting to $5,000 and their expenses. The conduct of President Castro in such clrcumstances is inexplicable. It is un- derstood that several of the foreign umpires have referred the matter to thelr gov- suggesting that Washington should interfere as being, in their view, morally responsible for the Venezuelan gov- ernment. The relations between Venczuela and Co- lombla have been exceedingly strained since Presidant Castro lent active help to General Uribe Uribe and other Colom- blan revolutionists during the )ast rebel- llon. A Bogota dispatch September G said the obstacles placed in the way of the transport by way of Maracalbo, Veneuzela, of egports and imports to Santander prov- ince, Colombia, by President Castro, were ruining and exasperating the merchants of Santander to such an extent that the Colomblan congress was discussing a blil authorizing the executive to build a rail- road from Bacaramanga or Cucuta to the Magdalena river as the only solutlon, less costly than war with Venezuela. President Castro of the Colomblan senate recently affirmed that the attitude of General Val- encla, commander of the forces in San- tander _provinge, teward Yenesuela made @ rupture with the latter country immi- nent. COLOMBIA IS IN FERMENT Fears that Isthr us of Panama May Secede from Confederation of States. BOGOTA, Sept. 13.—A proposal made by Senor Perez y Sotos to the executive to appoint an anti-cessionist governor in Pan- ama had been approved by the Senate. Speakers In the Senate said that Senor Abaldla, who was recently appointed gov- ernor of Panama and who is favorable to a canal treaty l¢ a danger for the national integrity. Senor Marroquin. protested agaist the action of the Senate. President Marroquin succeeded later in calming the congressmen. It appears that he was able to give them satisfactory reasons for ment. The Bogota goverpment appears to real- ize the imminent peril of the Isthmus of Panama declaring its independence. Senor Deroux, representative for a Panama con- stituency, recently delivered a sensational speech o the house. Among other things he said: In Panama the bishops, governors, magi: trates, military chiefs and their subordi- nates have been and are foreign to the de- partment. It seems that the government with surprising tenacity wishes to exclude the isthmus from all participation in pub- lic affairs. As regards internal dangers in the isthmus all I can say 1s that If these dangers exist they are due to the conduct e national government which Is in direction of reaction. If the Colombiai government will not listen to the indic tions made with a view to preventing di. aster the responsibility will rest with alone. Not a native of Panama is obeying the resctionary laws. The bill dealing with the settlement of forelgn claims arising out of the revolution has met with no opposition in the legisla- ture. It seems that congress after the recent political discussions has lost all ergy and has entirely forgotten Panama anal matters.

PEKING, Saturday, Sept. 13 layed in, Transmission.)—Russia has pre- sented the Chinese government scheme for evacuation, originally fixed for Dctober 8, proposing certain new conditions | in addition to most of the conditions In- cluded in the last scheme. Russia now proposes to evacuate New Chwang and Mukden province, October §, Kirin province four mouths later and the third province a year later. Among the new conditions, Russia says, it shall main- tain military posts on the roads from Tsit- sihar, capital of Hel Lung Kiang, to Blag ovestschensk., and on the Sungarl river. ‘The reason Russia gives for maintaining these posts is that they are necessary tc protect the commerce of the raliroad. There s & vaguely worded clause prohibiting heayy dutles on goods transported by the | raflway, which the diplomats construe as exempling Russtan goods transported on | the raflway from the surtax which the British, Japanese and American treaties provide for the likin duties. The scheme also contains a provision that Chinese troops shall protect the branches of the Russo-Chinese bank when necessary Prince Ching, president of the Forelgn board, has Informed the ministers that he considers the Russian conditions to be very reasonable.

In the portico looking onto the court was erected a small throne { which the pope Insistad should not he sur- ’muum-d by a cmnopy, as the ceremonial | prescribes. Pope Plus, whose arrival was jawaited with, keen expectation by the | throng, appeared in the portico, preceded merely by a few noblp guards and accom- panied by his secretagl, Mgr. Bressan; the master of the chamber, Mgr. Risletti, and his almoner, Mgr. Canstantin. The pontift was attired entively In white, except for his red hat, ornamented with gold, and a magnificent pectoral cross encrusted with Jewels. As he smilingly seated himaself on the throne he was greeted with a storm of applause, Cries of “Long live Plus” live our father” were ra while a band played the papal mavch. Tle pope rose, drew nenr to the steps of (he portico, and, raising his hand for silence, sald: “This demonstration of reverence and affection touches me, mot because it Is addressed to my person, but because it is addressed to Him whom ] represent, Christ It is an index to the faith animating your heart. 1 am all the more pleased because the majority of you are workingmen, for Christ i= the advoecate of the workingmen, and the latter are fajthful to Him." The pontift went on. to say that the work- man who is satisfied with his condition finds in it a true pleasure, shedding sweet- ness about him. ““These words,” continued Pope Pius, “are the first that I have addressed to the Romans. Be satisfied with your condition. provide education for your chfldren and I assure you in the name of the holy ghost that the blessing of God, which [ so much invoke for you and your familles, will be given.” The pope raised his hand and gave his benediction to the Kkneeling nssemblage. His holineas then retired amid loud mani- testations of devotion. | COUNTERFEITING IN PRISON Crooked Clgar Manufacture Not the Only Law Breaking Going On in Pennsyl and “Long PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.--Following closely upon the ¢xposure of gross irregu- larities in the cigar depa‘tment of the eastern state penitentiary, I\ came to light tonight that the illegal coinage of minor silver pleces has been carried on by con- viets in the big institution. No detalls of the counterfeiting schemc can be learned from any of the officials connected with the prison or from the government cficers that have been assigned to the case. The fact that such a daring scheme had been car- ried on in the penitentiary was made pub- lic by George Vaux, jr.. one of the prison inspectors. who, summoned newspaper men to-his homendey wriy mmde the dis. olosure, e gave out w brief statement, which is as follows: Dr. W. D. Robinson'and Mr, Yaux, jr.. who_ are at nt the visiting -{nupectors on duty at eastern state penitentiary, made the statement that there has come o their ofcial knowledge that within a short time an attempt has been made by certain convicts now confined in the penitentiary to ‘manufacture counterfeit silver coin. But a few pleces were made and a number of these have come into the possession of {he inspectors, together with the metals and chemicals used, the attempt thus being hipped in the bud. The evidence In the case is not yet complete, but all that has ! been secured has been submitted to ihe United States authorities, { Mr. Vaux refused absolutely to give any more detalls than contained in his state- | ment. From other sources, however, it was learned that dimes, quarters and half dollars were the coins manufactured. The discovery was made several days ago and United States secret service officials were | immediately called in. Their investigation, | it is learned, is still in progress, their priy- cipal object being to learn whether there was collusion between tne convicts and employes of the institution CAR OF DYNAMITE EXPLODES Two Men K and Three in Accident at West Bay city. 1 BAY CITY, Mich., Sept. 13.—Clarence D.

PARIS, Sept. 13.—On the occasion of the unvelling of a memorial to Ernest Renan, the historian and orfentalist, at his native town of Treguler, Brittany, today, some demonstrations were made against Premicr Combes In the villages through which his carriage passed on the way to Treguler from Portrieux. Hisses and shots of “‘aby Combes,” and “vive la liberte," were ralled by the peasants. At the ceremony, at which speeches were delivered by the muthor, Anatole France and others, Premier Combes, in expressing his thanks for the excellent reception given him at the function, said: I heard a few hisses. Let mc compare them to the melodies played on the flute behind the conqueror's chariot in olden times to remind them. that raised by people, they must govern by the people. During the delivery of the speeches the antagonists of Premier Combes became 80 threatening, trying to force the barrier and shouting denunclations of the mavor of Treguler, that the police and authorities, being unable t5 restore order, a detachment of troops was ordered oit. forced the hostile crowd back and restored quiet. The premier was accompanied by Chaumle, minister of public instruction, who delivered an eulogy of Renan, and many republican deputies for Brittuny The memorial took the form of a bronze statue, representing Renan seated in a Senor characteristic attitude, while behind stands | a glided figure of Minerva holding up a sprig of laurel. Along the decorations around the statue were ornamental mot- toes inscribed “Vive Renan,” “Long Live Free Thought,” etc., which particularly. in- censed the Catholles. The latter arranged for an explatory service in Treguler thedral to take place at the same hour as the unvelling of the statue, with the par- ticipation of Abbe Gayraud and other cler- ical deputies. Cleries Organize Demonstration. The clerical party had thoroughly organ- ized its demonstration, und the peasants from the surrounding villages assembled at Treguler, armed with cudgels, accom- panied by thelr women folk clad in the ple- turesque costumes of Brittany. Some of the bands were headed by the parish priests. The republican villagers ~lso gathered at Treguler and along the ~oute taken by the premfer, and the hostile parties raised cries and counter cries. During the ceremony of the unvelling the clericals did thelr best to drown the volces of the speakers with shouts of “Down with Renan,” “Down with Combes,” etc., to which the republicans re- plied with equally nolsy vociferations. The presence of & strong force of troops prevented a free fight between the rival taetion: Another demonstration . and counter-demonstiation took place when “Premter ¢ Visited the house i which Renan was bofn, and durfng the didorder Baroness Kerpodzon was hustied by the crowd.

A banquet of 2000 “blues,” as the re- publicans are called In Brittany, followed the unvelling exercises, at which Premler Combes, in the course of a long speech, not distant when the peasants of Brittany would shake oft’ the yoke of the clergy. He defended the policy of the' government, sayfng he had only to recall the history of the last few months i order to @emonstrate that the clergy had persistently violated the law, supported the unauthorized congrega- tions in their rebellion against the civil au- | thority and stirred up the population to re- | ligious war.

The train, at the timé an hour and that the casiaities were not greater is almost miraculous. The acci- dent 1s said 10 have been caused by the trucks of the vefrigerator car leaving the track.

WASHINGTON, Sopt. 12.--(8pecia).) -At this se 1 of the year the Staie depart ment is usually the most restful branch ot the federal government. Members of the diplomatic corps are almost fnvarinbly at sent from Washington during the month of September, many of the clerks and ofcials under the secretary of state are away on their vacations and even the American lar and diplomatic representatives d have little to report to the home government. But this vear, 1%, is & marked exception to the rule. At no time since the foundation of the government have the officials of the State department been so rushed through ferelgn complications as they are today. These forelgn aftalrs are by ho means trivial: on tme contrary, some of them are of the gravest importance and euch and every one will have an important bearing upon the political or commercial tutare of this country. In the first place the Department of State f& in constant communication with the United States commissioners who are now in London attempting to bring abont a satisfactory settlement of the dispute be- tween the United States and Great Britain over the Alaskan boundary line. Thus far in the diplomatic battle the Amerieat com- erator car, baggage and smoking car, two | missjoners have won the first skirmish. Of course every Amerfcan belleves that the contention of this country relative to the sinuosities of the coast line Is the correct one and the difference hetween belleving the statement and proving the facts Is the pofnt in controversy. Mr. Hay was tieverely criticised. for recommending that congress authorize the appointment of a commis. but the secretary of state is sa thorous! convinced that the American claims can be substantiated Beyond auestion that he feels that a decision by a competent com- mission upon these !ines will not only p o- vent any rupture ot the fiiendly relations between the two governments, but wiil a~ tle for all time (he cxact line of demarcs- tion between the former Russian i s 11y In ‘America and the Britieh Northwest tersis, tory % mo other mpans could settie it. gravity of the situation that should the Amridan cammigsinnesy be unable to convince thefm collssiruss Uy 1t the American clatms are well voinded 112 résult Is certain to be an epen ranieg which may eventually lead to srrings b tilitfes.

Petersburg, London and lterlin regurin the American demand for an : policy for the province of Manchurii While the Ameriean diplomats have hesn in a measure successful, they huve not yet secured all that the secretary insisis should be granted in the way of trads facilities in the province. Still there ix reagon to hope that these efforts will be 50 succossful as to aghure an endrmous extension of American commerce, not only in the Chinese province, but through the whole of northeastern Asia. From every Tae from the fact f the | section of the country manufacturers are showing a disposition to acquire a wider knowledge of trade prospects throughout that vast and little known section of the earth, and the seeretary of state’'s work will have been well done If through hie efforts Siberia and Manchurla are grid- froned with Amerfcan ralls and the lands cultivated with American agricultural machinery, while the crops are harvested by American mowers, reapers, binders and lieaders. The success which has thus far crowned the efforts of American drutamers to Introduce these goods, as well a in u smaller degreo textile producis and other products, Jeads to the bellef that the open door policy . for China will result in the export of hundreds of milllons of doilirs worth of the products of Amerlcan fac tories to the country. which hae been al- ways terra Incognita to the American man ufacturer. With the growing trade betwec: the United States and the countries be yond the Paclfic the prospect for Americ i1\ shipping interests brightens, and the east- ern policy of this country, which was fu- augurated on the first day of May, 1598, vey salled past Corregidor Island may bring about the habilitation of the American merchant marine for which American statesmen have worked so persistently since the elose of the civil war. ca 1s Yet in Doubt, The lastest advices rom Bogota concerii- Ing the prospects of a treaty between Colombla and the United Btates in refer- ence to the canal across the Isthmus of P ma are conflicting in the extreme, T most rellable information still hears the statement frequently made in these dfs- patches that it is money that fs at the bottom of all the trouble. The Colombis government demands nearly twice as muc for the concession the orlginal agre ment called for and it is suggested, acco ing to the dlspatches, that the United States pay to the French company some ten millions more than that company orig tnally asked for its rights and privilege This latter demsnd Indicates quite clearly that “the nigger in the fence” fis the Frénch company, which is alleged to have recelved a better offer from European c italists than the United States was pr pared to make. Secretary Hay iz busily en §aged upon the draft of & new treaty, h the American and Colomblan governm are thus far very wide apart and it is an open question whether or not the efforts to reach an understanding will be settied before the time for the regular meeting of congress. Tho original dea of an extra session of congress in November was based upon the supposition ihat legislation would be nec- essary to put Into effect the Colombiar treaty the treaty helween this coun- try and Cuba. The delay in Colombia ma; result In deciding the president not“to call cqngress together, ax he intended, although it is very important to the Cubans that congress shculd act upon their treaty early In order that their plantérs faay
