ROUMANIA SENDS A SHARP NOTE TO BULGARIA Demands the Arrest of Sarafow, Pres- ident of Revolutionary Move- ment at Sofia. LONDON, Aug. 18—The Roumanian Government, according to a special dis- pateh from Vienna, has addressed a sharp note, amounting almost to an ultimatum, to Bulgaria, demanding the arrest of Sar- afow, president of the revolutionary com- mittee of Sofia and the suppression of that organization. s Wheat Crop of Pacific Northwest.

Miller, for cratic forces in ri Nebraska and a founder of the Omaha World, and for twenty-four years its editor. i3 a most uncompromis- ing foe to Bfyanism, *“I know Bryan as well as any one can know him,” sayvs Dr. Miller, * I have worked with him In his early political days and have been in touch with his actions of more recent years. 1 no faith whatever in his sincerity, because I credit him with more rdinary intelligence. He knew the llacy of the free-silver proposition when he first thrust it upon the party in this State, but he insisted upon making it a political issue, for with panther-like quickness he realized that it could readily employed to delude a people who at that time were suffering a universal epression. nary objection to Bryan is his s assault upon the established institutions of his country, his unremit- ting attacks upon citizens who happen to own something, his opposition to the rights of our courts and his implied care- lessness as to the preservation of law and order. He is forever appealing to class prejudice and endeavoring to array one portion of our people against another. He panders to_the desires of envious, unscru. pulous and irresponsible members of so- ciety, and for that reason alone he is a dangerous man to place at the head of our Government. “I regard Bryan as a soclalistic revolu tionist, tinged with religious fanaticism. On the money question Bryan preaches a false doctrine; on the subject of law and order he incites the revolutionary spirit; on the Philippine problem he promises nothing different from the course now being pursued by the administration, but attempts to catch votes by a groundless cry of imperfalism. “Bryan is as insincere in his utterances on the Philippine question as he is in his silver doctrine.” TO CAMP ON TRAIL OF ROOSEVELT CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—According to infor- mation given out at Democratic National headquarters, in his tour of the West Governor Roosevelt will have an oratori- cal sleuth on his trail in the person of Charles Towne, the Silver Republican er. Within ten days Mr. Towne will open the campaign at Duluth, where he will make an elaborate address devoted mostly to answering Roosevelt. Later Towne will tour Tdaho,Oregon, Washington, California | and other Western States, keeping close | to Governor Roosevelt's path. Mr. Towne will make an occasional trip to the South, speaking at Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville and other important cities. Throughout it will be Mr. Towne's mis- sion to pay special attention to the Re- publican Vice Presidential nominee and to answer arguments made by the latter during the campaign. BRYAN'S SPEECHES ON THE RO,"EE TO TOPEKA TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. 17.—A special to he Capitol from Lincoln, Neb., says: “Mr. Bryan this evening decided on the ftinerary of his trip to the Populist noti- fication meeting at Topeka, August 23. He will leave Lincoln, via the Missourl Pa- cific, Tuesday, August 21. He will make a speech at Auburn at 9 o’clock and at 11 o'clock he will address the people at Tecumseh. He will drive across the coun- try to Pawnee City and speak there at 2 o'clock. The evening speech will be de- livered in Falls City. Mr. Bryan expects to reach Topeka on the morning of August 22. He will start back August 24. A speech will be dellv- ered at Manhattan, Kans., in the forenoon and Beatrice, Neb., i1n the evening.

WISHES TO OBTAIN A MONOPOLY ON PIG IRON Carnegie Company Is Seeking to Pur- chase All the Big Blast Fur- naces in the Country. PITTSBURG, Aug. 17.—The Post to- morrow will say: Control of the produc- tion of pig metal in this country is being sceured by the Carnegie Company. It is seeking to buy all the big blast furnace plants in the United States. Its repre- scntatives now have negotiations pending for the purchase of the plants of Hav- | erly & Co. at Buffalo, the Newburg fur- | | | | l | naces at Cleveland, a plant at Carondolet, near St. Louis, and two others in the Ma<~ honing_Valley. The fact that the Car- negie Company has contracted for 16,000,- 000 tons of iron ore annually, when 6,000,000 will amply supply its present plants, is taken as an indication that it expects to acquire other plants of sufficlent capacity to use the remaining tonnage. With its facilities for getting ore and the posses- sion of blast furnaces of enough capactt to turn all its ore into pig metal it wiil be in aJosllion to dictate prices and limit materials for all its competitors. e/ B ety YACHT CAPSIZES.

The damage is the greatest in the history of the country. There is almost, conciusive evi- dence that these fires are being intention- ally set and the general impression pre- vails that this section is entitled to a State fire patrol at once. ing and the fire has unlimited sway across nearly fifty miles of country.

As it was, a dozen buildings were burned and the loss, i estimated, will aggre- gate $50,000 to $75,000. The village has no fire department. The citizens, with gar- den hose and buckets, did what they could to get water on the fire. Ther | efforts, however, were of no avail, and the fire burned until it had consumed the entire business block. The fire was of incendiary origin, the match having been applied by men who afterward tried to rob the homes of the villagers. They were discovered in two or three houses, but escaped. They left town in a wagon, driving rapidly away. One Life Lost.
