This de- pressed feeling was due to the continued in consols, the uneasiness as to pos- sible withdrawals of gold, the condition flairs in the Balkans and the unset- | tled monetary outlook in America.

Lord Rosebery’s advocacy of the ap- pointment of Lord Kitch as com- mander in chief is continuing to find new supporters.

Next in present importance to the army scandals as a bomb whose burst- ing may scatter the Balfour Cabinet is Chamberlain’s fiscal policy. The antag- onism of the Dpke of Devonshire and other powerful leaders toward the Colon- fal Secretary’s propaganda may create a breach which the Premier will be unable to_close. Two important questions that are to| come before the Cabinet meeting are the situation in the Balkans and the develop- ments in the Far East, in view of Rus- sla’s request for further time for the evacuation of a portion of Manchuria. It is not likely that there will be any change in the attitude of the Government toward the Macedonian Insurrection—a “hands-off” policy—so long as Russia and Austria seem disposed to promote no ul- terfor motive in their efforts to restore peace in the disturbed frea. As to Rus- sia’s latest move in the Far East the For- elgn Office is disposed to be suspicious, but it will probably be left to Japan to lead in any protest that may be made. ALBANIAN§ USE SWORD AND TORCH Continued From Page 1, Column 1. traveling in Macedonia, writes from Kirk-Killeseh and Adrianople that the | reports of massacres and pillages spread by the revolutionists have been exagerated, but the writer con- fn common with many Constanti- nople correspendents, that the behavior of n troops been exceedingly bad and that they are quite out of hana, pillaging and burning wherever possible, | in spite of the attempts of the local troops to prevent them. The Monastir correspondent of the Daily Mail has had an interview with the com- mander of the vilayet, Mazls Pasha, in which the latter asserted that the rising was absolutely suppressed. He admitted the truth of the burnings and atrocitles, but accused the Bulgarian insurgents of committing them. A dispatch from Salonica, dated Sat- urday, reports a fresh supply of explo- sives discovered at the offices of a Bul- garian, who was arrested, but afterward released. It is rumored from Constantinople that no foreign military attaches have gone to Monastir, but that another American warship, presumably the gunboat Ma- chias, has arrived at Belrut. The correspondent of the Times at Sofia says: “It would be very inadvisable for the powers to address admonitions to Bul- garia at the present moment, because it would strengthen,.on the eve of the elec- tions, the hands of the opposition party, which is trying to foment bellicose agi- tation in order to overthrow the present Government. The infliction of a needless humiliation upon the Government, which is endeavoring to convince the nation of the folly of an adventurous policy, would be merely playing into the hands of the war party.” The Daily Mail's correspondent at Sofia in a ‘dispatch dated September 9 sends an interview he had with Tartar- sheff, the chief of the revolutionary com- mittee, in which the latter-represented that there will be a_strong probability of Servia throwing in her lot with Bulgaria against Turkey and that the question of war or no war depended mainly on Ser- via. Tartarsheff decliried to commit him- self to details, but admitted that nego- tiations were proceeding between his com- mittee and Servia and also that the Ser- vian Premier lately sent scouts to jein the revolutionists in Bulgaria in order to report the latter's progress. 4 in Saraffof, brother of the revolu- chief, who also was present at the interview, went further than Tartar- cheff and alleged that it was weeks ago agreed that at the slightest provocation the Servian forces would invade Old Ser- via and occupy Uskub. It was hinted that Montenegro would also be heard from-in Albania and that Turkey would be thus compelled to divide her forces, thereby much reducing her chances of victory. The Times publishes a long dispatch from Monastir, dated SeptembeF=~5, in which, as the result of his own observa- tions and those of reliable witnesses, the correspondent confirms the descriptions of the Turkish extermination of the Chris- tian population in the vilayet of Monastir, which, he avers, is being carried. out whole-heartedly and indiscriminately by regulars and Bashi Bazouks, between whom there is little to choose, and whose doings, it is evident, are directly sanc- tioned by the Sultan. The Bishops of Durham, Worcester, Hereford and Gibraltar all publish letters in the Times'protesting against the Turk- ish atrocities in Macedonia and urging the Governmenf to Intervene to prevent an indelible stain resting on a Christian country for permitting such cruelties. CITY OF BEIRUT TRANQUIL. Powers Said to Have Abandoned In- tention to Send Ships. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 13.—Calm continues at Befrut, but trade is at a standstill. Rished Pasha, the dismissed Vali, left Beirut yesterday for Constan- tinople. The other powers have now abandoned their intention of sending warships to Beirut. Refugees encamped in the moun- tains refuse to return to Beirut, in spite of the promise of the authorities to prb- tect them. —_— DENY THAT KING PETER SENT MESSAGE TO CZAR Servian Officials Point Out That There Is No Motive for the Al- leged Appeal. BELGRADE, Sept. 13.—The report that King Peter had sent a message to the e Czar to beg him to reconsider his atti- tude toward the Servian officers, which the King regarded as partly tho cause of the new revolt in the army, is officially denfed. Tt is pointed out that there is no motive for such an appeal, as the powers have all recognized the revolution to be Servia's private affair, and the ,Skupt- china has pardoned the conspirators. The King as a constitutional nfbmarch Is bound to respect the decision of Parlia- ment. The leaders of the army plot at Nish will be tried by court martial on the charge of threatening to kill the offi- cers concerned in the coup d'etat. ——————————— HUNGARIAN POLITICAL CRISIS BECOMES ACUTE Abdication of Emperor Francll Josef as King Is Now Being Freely Discussed. I LONDON, Sept. 14.—The Vienna corre- spondent of the Daily Mail declares that the Hungarian political crisis has become so acute that the abdication of Emperor Francis Joseph\as King of Hungary is freely discussed 'in that country and al- though no party leader is openly willing to discuss this probability there is a strong feeling ip favor of Hungary's right to choose her own King, the can- didate favored being the Gérman Emper- or's second son, Prince Eitel. —_———————— Physician Kills Alleged Slanderer.

Among the new conditions, Russia stipulates that she | shall maintain military posts on the road from Tsitsihar, capital of Heilung Kiang, to Blagovostchensk and on the Sungari | River. The reason Russia gives for main- taining these posts is that they are nec- essary to protect the commerce of the railroad. There is a vaguely worded clause pro- ed by the railroad, which the diplomats exempting Russian goods transported on the railway from the sur- | tax which the Japanese and American treaties sub:fl(u!e for the likin duties. The schemé also contains a provision that the Chinese troops shall protect the branches of the Russo-Chinese Bank when necessary. Prince Ching, president of the Foreign Board, has informed the Ministers that he considers the Russian conditions to be very reasonable. —_——— FOREIGN PARTICIPATION IN ST.LOUIS EXPOSITION Commissioner Barrett Tells of His Visit to Asia in Interest of the Big Fair. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—John Barrett, who visited Asia as commissioner of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in behalf of the exposition management, has issued a statement with reference to foreign par- ticipation in the exposition. He says in part: Although in the introductory negotiations such important Governments as Austria i Europe and Asia declined to participate, and the outlook was discouraging for other prominent nations, thirty-five of the forty odd independent tries of the worid now have formally acs the invitation to take part, while not less ten of the great colonies of Eurc are preparing comprehensive exhibits entirely | from those of the home governments. The ccuntries above mentioned as at first re- fusing to be represented have finally reconsid- ered their action and decided to take part on an unprecedented scale.

SR Lk e N Special Diepatch to The Call NPW YORK, Sept. 13.—Bullseye and target hits at the rate of 1 each min- ute from her thirteen-inch gun is what is declared by the officers to be the world breaking record brought to po: by the United States battleship Alabam.
