Eagan, the orator of the con- | tinuation of the excesses in Macedonia by the Turkish troops and irregulars. The Daily Chronicle says.it understands that Great Britain has decided upon a still stronger step, in the dispatch of a British squadron in support of her diplo- matic endeavors in Constantinople to put an end to the massacres. It is impossible, howe: to confirm or deny the Daily Chronicle’s statement. Most of the speclal correspondents in the near East consider war inevitable, but think it may yet be delayed, neither the Bulgarians nor the Turks being really prepared for it. The former are not suffi- clently armed, while Turkey does not feel safe until her lines of communication are less at the mercy of Bulgarian insuggent bands. A Vienna paper asserts that Prince Fer- dinand of Bulgaria has sent a trusted agent to King Peter, inviting co-operation against Turkey. The correspondent in Sofia of the Daily Telegraph says that Bulgaria's reply to the Porte's protest against the continual crossing of the frontier by bands and the smuggling of arms and ammunition from whatever, of an amicable arrangement. The Sofia correspondent of the Times says that the decision of Bulgaria to par- tially mobiuze the army is universally ap- proved. It is urged that the troops will be exclusively designed to close the fron- tier against the passage of insurgent bands and that the step was resorted to in obedience to the dictates of the great Powers. The- decision, therefore, should not offend Turkey’s susceptibilities. It is estimated that 8000 raiders are pre- paring to start into Macedonia or are al- ready assembled in the frontier districts of Kostendil and Dubnitza. RETURN OF FERDINAND Bulgarian Ruler Resumes Direction of Affairs in Sofia. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 16.—Prince Fer- dinand of Bulgaria arrived here to-day from Euxinograd. A semi-official state- ment just issued says: The mews received here of the atrocities ally committed by Turkish soldiers passes the bounds of imagination. The general opin- ion is that every village will be entirely de- populated of the Christian element. Further letters from Monastir report that fighting has occurred.at Kaimaclila between Turkish troops and 150 insurgents under the leaders Tan and Aloko. The result is mot yet known. Turkish soldiers have raided the estate of one of the Sultan’s bodyguard, Sefuld Bey, at Sturbola Presta, pillaging twenty- six Bulgarian houses, attacked the women | and taking 1300 sheep. About 200 refugees.from the burned vil- 1age of Dyavita have mysteriously disap- peared. They are believed to have been captured by Turks, as a Turkish regiment vroceeded to that place on September 10 ave | the remarks of Mr. o 2 W.C LEFFINGWELL EXTOLLED THE VIRTVUES OF HARRY KNO EFMEYER NOMINATE D POWEL FREDRICC For COUNTY CAERK, /7) HURROO FOR SUPERVISOR.

Hickey, chairman of the Democratic Municipal Conventlon. His speech was as follows: 1 rise to a question of privilege—a question of privilege concerning this entire convention, If ‘the press reports of the proceedings of Gavin McNab's #o-called convention on last fonday night are true, and 1 presume they the chairman of that convention made, in an ' exhibition of unspeakable cheek and in- fterable gall, an unwarranted and uncalled- for attack upon the integrity of this conven- tion. ' We are informed by Mr. Thomas Hickey that the Union Labor party has been delivered into the hands of Republican politicians and that we are now a part and parcel of the Republican organization of this city. It may be—there may be some deluded friends of labor who may be decelved and take seriously Hickey, but if they un- derstood his motives, as the most ordinary laymen in political affairs in San Francisco understand. them, them, and I want to info the laboring man o Tancisco Is com- petent to judge for self. (Applause.) And the delegates . of the convention will afford them ample opportunity by our acts to judge and determine whether a convention consti- tuted as this is, composed of the lcyal rep- resentatives of the various labor unions of San Francisco, -could or would stand for any- thing that is not for the best interests of Iabor and the people of this entire community. (Applause.) If Gavin McNab's mouthplece had cause to think—If his mind had not been asleep at the switch (laughter), his tongue would not have run him off the frack of fact and reason, and I want to further inform Mr. iiickey that this convention has done no act of any kind whatever which would warrant him or any Afr, Hickey that |‘other spokesman of Gavin McNab in’ making such assertion. This convention has started out to perform ite duties to the laboring man and the entire people of San Francisco by following that course laid down In our plat- | form and declaration of principles which have been go honestly and efficiently illustrated for the last twenty months in official life by our gallan leader, our faithful representative of organized labor, the honorable Mayor of all the ple of San Francisco—Eugene B, Schmi! (Great applause.) PHELANISM AND M’NABISM. Where, when and by whom was Tom Hickey —a man who never did a day’s werk in his life (aughter), constitutea an authority on what the Union Labor party may do or may not do in this campaign? We seck the in- spection of labor ‘and the citizens of San Francisco as to our acts and we will answer to them for the sincerity of our matives. We care not for the opinion or critielsms of those Who stand for McNabism or Phelanism, and I want to inform Tom Hickey further that with the intention of suppressing 100 in- surgents from Asso's band.-Eighty-eight of these men escaped and the remaining twelve defended themselves for several hours and were Kkilled, when a’ second Turkish regiment arrived on the scene. Asso sent a letter to Malovisstha the next day with a suggestive bullet, demanding the names of the villagers “‘who had be- trayed the twelve insurgenfs.” e TURKS BADLY DEFEATED. Three Battalions Almost Annihilated Near Salonica. ~ CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 16.—The Feast of the Cross passed off without disturbance at Beirut. % Contrary to the officials’ reports, ad- vices from good sources show that the Macedonian insurgents are holding their own at several points and are inflicting defeats on the Turks in the districts of Moripova and elnik, sixty-five miles from Salonica, where three Turkish bat- talions have almost been annihilated. The local authorities at Monastir- are seeking to prevent the foreign Consuls and’ correspondents leaving the town, un- der tha allegation that thelr lives will be endangered. It ix said that the Sultan was much annoyed when he learned that Albanian troops had been dispatched to Adrianople. —————— MEMBERS OF LAUREL HALL CLUB ENJOY ADDRESSES Keeler Talks on Beautifying San Francisco and Mrs. Collins Tells of Alaska. The members of the Laurel Hall Club met yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Borosis Club, Mrs. George W. Haight in the chalr. Interesting papers were read, one by Charles Keeler, author of “San Francisco and Thereabouts,” on “Opportunities of Beautifying San Fran- cisco,” and one by Mrs. Thomas W. Col- lins on ‘‘Alaska.” There was a large and appreciative at- tendance and the authors of the papers were the recipients of a vote of thanks. It was announced that an innovation was to be introduced within the circle of Laural Hall Club in the form of an “ inal Writers' Bection,” which means that the authors of short storles are to read their works, which will be discussed among the members and will be subject to criticism at the meetings at which they are submitted.

(Great ap- plause and cries of ‘‘Good boy.”") When the cheering had subsided Frank 1. Carney moved a suspension of the rules In order that the following resolu- tions might be read: Whereas, The platform of the Union Labor party contains the following provision: “We favor a constitutional amendment which shall make it impossible for State Boards of Equali- zation arbitrarily to raise the assessment, of this city, already over: gards its smaller prop: Whereas, Since the adoption of said plasform the State Board of Equalization has unjustly and arbitrarily ralsed the already high assess- ment of San Francisco property 30 per cent, to the great injury and loss of every owner of real ‘and personal property in San Francisco, therefore be it Resolved by the Union Labor party of San Francisco, in convention assembled, That the actlon of the State Board of Equalization in thus arbitrarily ralsing the assessment in San Francisco Is an outrage and merits the severest condemnation; further Resolved, That the chairman of this conven- tion appoint a committee of elghteen, one from each Assembly district, to confer’ with his Honor, the Mayor, and with such other city of- flcials’ as_may be deemed advisable, for the purpose of devising a plan to prevent the con» Summation of this outrage on the Deonjs O o Fianciscs. and of sStting exide, It potbio the action of the State Board of Equalization.

Resolved, That the attention of all voters of the Unlon Labor party s hereby called to the fact that registration for the munieipal elec- tion closes September 23; that there are. only seven days left within which those who have not already registered may do 0, and that spe- clal attention be called to the necessity of re- registering in cases where residence changed since last registration. SUPERVISORIAL TIMBER. Nominations for Supervisors were next in order, and as each district was called some delegate placed its candidate before the convention. Some of the districts were not ready to present a name and asked for more time. Other districts pre- sented two names. Following are the nominations last night: Twenty-eighth Assembly District—G. G. made DEATH FOLLOWS FALL FROM CAR Policeman = James Mec- ~Lane Dies From Frac- "ture of Skull. Patrolman James D. McLane of Com- pany A of the local police department received injuries by falling from a Cali- fornia-street car yesterday that resulted In his death a few hours afterwards. According to the story of Conductor Cummings, the unfortunate policeman slipped from the step of the car on which he was standing, was thrown to the pave- ment and fractured his skull. He was removed to his home, 2029 Steiner street, where surgical aid was rendered, but the concussion was too great and death came Just before midnight last night. McLane reported for duty at the Cen- tral Police Station Tuesday night at eleven o'clock. He was detailed on the office watch and served until about seven o’clock vesterday morning. After report- ing off he boarded California-street car No. 23 and started for his home. On the ‘way out he stood on the rear dummy and engaged in conversation with Conductor Cummings. When Van Ness avenue was reached the policeman in some manner missed his footing and fell backward to the pavement. He was unconscious when picked up and was conveyed on the next car to his home and Dr. J. Fottrell sum- moned. All day surgeons worked in an effort to save the man’s life but to mo avail and last night he prssed away. Deceased was a young man and resided with his par- ents. He was an excellent officer and had the respect of his superiors as well as his brother officers. He has been as- slgned to various beats throughout the city since his appointment and his last Wwas on California and Pine streets from Mason to Larkin. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. —_———— . Death of Captain David Davies. _Captain David Davies of the lighthouse ter Madrono died yesterday at the age of 72 years. The deceased was a native of Cardigan, Wales, and had been on the coast In the lighthouse tender service for many vears. He was widely known, both by seafaring men and landsmen.

It was decided to go ahead with the nominations for other officers. No .can- idate being offered for Auditor, that of- Mice was passed, and nominations for County Clerk were declared in order. E. F. Meyer of the Thirtieth Assembly Dis- | trict nominated Powel Fredrick. He| spoke in part as follows: For the office of County Clerk I take great pleasure in placing fn nomination a man who has been with this party since its very begin- ning. It Is the greatest pleasure-—not only for myself, but on behalf of the delegates of the Thirtieth Assembly District—the district which | was first organized as a Union Labor district, the district which gave the largest majority for the Hon. Eugene E. Schmitz, the district which, at the iast primary election, gave a vic- tory for the ticket which is upholding the hands of our Mayor. This district asks this conven- tion for the indorsement of Powel Fredrick for County Clerk. (Applause.) G. G. Vickerson of the Waiters' Union seconded the nomination of Mr. Fredrick and the latter was nomMmated by accla- mation. Fredrick was invited to the platform and spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Members of the Conven- tion—1 deeply appreciate the honor you have | conferred upon me in nominating me for the | office of County Clerk. I have read your plat- | form ttoroughly and I indorse it from top to bottom. I will do my utmost to be elected and | 2130 1o elect the whole ticket, and I guarantee | that no act of mine will ever place a stigma on the Union Labor party. I thank you. (Great applause.)

Last night Suey Lew, a woman who resides in Baker alley, was arrested and taken to Chico and the warrant on which she was taken is sald t6 have been sworn out for no other purpose than to wrest the woman from the clutches of her friends and then to kidnap her. - The transaction on its face seems noth- ing more than the old trick of a trumped up charge and is likely to end In wac be- tween the Suey Dun Tong, of which sfie is a member, and the Iop Sing Tong, which, it is alleged, caused her arrest. She is accused of grand larceny commit- ted a few days ago in Chico and her friends and many who know her in Chi- natown will swear that she has not been out of this city within the last three years, It'ls sald that the Hop Sings in Chico have been endeavoring for some time to secure possession of the girl and, failing in other ways, resorted to the warrant trick to get her within the bounds of thelr own camp. The warrant was brought to this city by Constable Heldman and with the assistance of De- tective Glbson it was served last evening shortly before the Oregon Express de- parted from the mole. In this manner the woman's friends were given no .op- ‘portunity to come to her assistance, to interview her or to furnish bonds. After she reaches Chico she will appear before a magistrate and, it is probable, the charges will be found to be false. Then, after her release, she will be kidnaped and hidden from her city friends. The arrest has caused much talk in Chinatown and the Suey Duns have an- nounced their intention of declaring against the Hop Sings. bgel Persian Grand Vizier Dismissed.

I take great ple ure in presenting the name of J. J. Conley. (Cheers.) ALLUDES TO CASEY. John P. Magee of the Thirty-third As- sembly District seconded the nomination and made an unhappy allusion to Michael Casey, whom the Schmitz end fs tryiag to mollify and bring into its camp. Magee said that Conley had been a victim of Michael Casey, meaning that Casey had | turned Conley down. Conley was nomi- | nated by acclamation and when called | | | upon for a speech took the opportunity | to correct the statement made by Magee. “He thanked the delegates for the honor conferred upon him and assured them he would make an active campaign for him- self and the rest of the ticket. He said | Michael Casey and himself had had some | differences, but were the best of friends. “I hope to see Mr. Casey come right be- hind ghis ticket as Soon as he comes from the country,” he sald. “I am sure he will, as he is that kind of a man.” A recess was taken for fifteen minutes in order to give the delegates some fresh lair. Upon reconvening nominations for Sherift and Assessor were called for and | both offices were passed. Tim T. Treacy, the contractor, was the avowed candidate for Sheriff and he had | things to. himself until ex-Assemblyman J. N. Copus of the Thirty-second District | was put into the fight by his friends. Copus, declined to run and it is now an- nounced that Treacy wili not accept the nomination. DILLON FOR CORONER. William J. Mindham, an energetic youth nominated Dr. John F. Dillon for Coronmer. Mind- ham possessed a loud voice, but created much amusement by calling the delegates’ attention to the generosity of his candi- date. He paid Dr. Dillon some sincere tributes. He told how the physician had given his services to the poor without ac- cepting a dollar remuneration. He also told of his giving drugs away to the fam- flies of the union men who were out on strike. He told how well the doctor ran for the office of Coroner at the last elec- tion and he prophesied that Dr. Dillon would surely be elected this time. That Dillon is a popular man is evidenced by the splendid ovation he received when he was escorted to the platform. He was nominated by acclamation and in his speech of acceptance spoke for harmony in the party and expressed the desire to see the entire ticket elected. He accepted the platform of his party and said he would stand by his pledges. He assured the delegates that he would be a just Coroner if elected and would do nothing to cause any regret on the part of the delegates who nominated him. An adjournment was taken until to- night at 8 o'clock. The delegates will meet in Pioneer Hall and nominate the rest of the ticket. — Expect Indorsements. District Attorney Byington and Police Judges Mogan and Cabaniss are slated for nomination by McNab’'s convention. Their followers attended the Labor party convention last night and boasted that they were sure of indorsement In that quarter. Several delegates, however, were quite free in expressing the opinion that nothing could weaken the Labor party so much in the estimation of the people as failure to make straightforward, inde- pendent nominations. AOBBER TAKES BOY'S SAVINGS Poses as Friend and Commits Theft While Youth Sleeps. Frank R. Millis, a 16-year-old boy, was robbed of a pittance df money which he had saved while crossing the continent in a Bush-street lodging-house last night. The theft was committed by a stranger, who gave the name of Patrick Malloy and who did his petty work under the guise of friendship for the lJad. When young Millis discovered the theft he rushed half naked into the street, screaming for police as- sistance and was nearly crazed over his loss. Officers Heinz and Holmes spent several hours looking for the thief. Young Millis arrived from K New York but two days ago. On the journey out he managed to save about $14 and hoped this amount would provide for him until he could secure employment. Last evening he met the man who gave the name of Malloy and the latter offered to secure employment for him to-day. Malloy took the boy to a lodging-house at 417 Bush street and young Millis, weary from walking about the streets all day, was soon asleep. At midnight he awakened and found his companion gone. Suspect- ing something wrong, he searched for his ‘money and found it also missing. With- out waiting to dress he rushed to the street and shouted for help. With the crowd came a policeman, who took the boy In charge, and with Patrolman Holmes started out to find Malloy. A search of Barbary Coast was made, but the culprit was not caught. —_————— ONE HUNDRED PERISH IN STEAMSHIP WRECK Chinese Vessel h Capsized by Ty- phoon With Great Loss of Life.

The delegates to the Republican con- vention will assemble again at the Al- hambra Theater next Wednesday evening. It is exvected that the convention will give ample time to the consideration of the reports from the committees on plat- form and order of business. Nominations may not be reached at the second session. The number of aspirants in the fleld for the various offices indicates active con- tests. There are signs of a fight between Gen- eral E. S. Salomon and ex-Senator Frank McGowan for the District Attorneyship. The announcement in terday's Call that Charles S. Laumeister had entered the race as a candidate for the nomina- tion for Assessor caused no little com- ment in political eir ashington Dodge, who Is slated for renomination by the manager of the Democratic conven- tion, expects the indorsement of the Un- fon Labor party, but this expectation may not be realized. The Union Labor delegates are not man- ifesting any: desire to help out tr crats in this campaign. If Dodge fail to get the labor indorsement Laumeister will walk his log. ye: John Lackmann, the present Sheriff, may get the nomination for Mayor.

A meeting of the McKinnon memorial committee was held last night at 21 Pag street, Colonel Thomas «O'Neils in the chair. The chairman stated tH&t owing to the recent reception to President Roosevelt and the Grand Army Encamp- ment which followed, the committee thought it better to hold the movement for the memorial in abeyance for a while. He sald that now it had concluded to gather funds and interest organizations and the public in the matter of a st able monument in honer of the late Fath- er McKinnon, It was also stated that General James F. Smith had already sent a liberal dona- tion to the committee nd that several banks had also contributed. From Sac- ramento, where an entertainment had been given to aid the cause, a substantial check had been received. It is intended to have an entertainment in every large city of the State, by which it 1s expected the fund would be largely augmented. It was also stated that Cap- tain Kelleher and the Rev. Father H. W. 1. Reaney have taken up the matter of the memorial in New York. ‘There were present at the meeting Col- onel Thomas O'Nefl, Rev. Father James , Rev. Father F. X. Morrison, Charles A.
