As the leaders found no support among the non-Bulgarian elsment in Maced nia, they exerted themselvcs to ralse insurrec- tion by cruel outrages and terrorism in order to hinder the projected reforms. Unbappily, in spite of the precautions of the Sofia Go ernmeat, the Macedonian agitation spread con- siderably in Bulgaria itself, finding support | among those who mistakingly reckoned that | the outbreak thus caused would compel Rus- | sia to alter her programme and proclaim her- | self the champion of the plans of the leaders | and the revolution. This fatal conception, against which Rus- a gave incessant warnings, has brought upon Christians in Turkish vilayets grievous | oppression, which will end only when the in- cursion of insurgents from Bulgaria and the revolutionary activity of the committees coase. ot until then can the immediate application f reform needed by the population, and by which they will be protected from Turkish atrgeities, be insisted upon, the most ener- getic endeavors having fatled to bridle the aticism of the Musselmans.

Would Assist Turkey Against Bul- garia and Servia. LONDON, Sept. 2.—An official note similar to that issued to-day by fhe Rus- sian Government has been published in Vienna. These warnings to Turkey and Bulgaria, coming on the eve of the visit | of the Czar and Count Lamsdorff to enna, Count La orft having left St. Petershurg yesterday, were especially sig- nificant. ine vaily Mail's correspondent at Ber- n hears that the Russian Foreign Min- ster is bringing to Vienna a new scheme f Macedonian reforms and also a plan for consideration, according to which Turkey will be allowed to fight Bulgaria 1zd Servia, and, having beaten them, she shall exercise suzerainty under the super- vision of ‘Austria and Russia, who will Ond the money ,.and ammunition for Turkey. Dispatches from Sofia report the ar- ival there of war correspondents from 211 parts of the world, and, further, state :hat the insurgent leaders have given or- ders to the bands not to resort to retalia- tive opérations for some days longer. It is annotnced from Salonica that the Turkish military authorities have re- | lies at the Good Samaritan Hospital. ceived orders to have all the bayonets and sabers sharpened. Great meetings of protest against the Turkish atrocities In Macedonia were held in London and Manchester last night, in the former case at the City Temple, where Revs. R. J. Campbell, John Clif- ford and F. B. Meyer were among the speakers. TURKS KIDNAP WOMEN. Attempts to Recover the Captives Prove Futile. SOFIA, Sept. 24.—Advices from Uskub say that five battalions of Turkish troops left Sovovitch yesterday for Morotsoro, whence a band of revglutionists had been threatening Perlepe. Three other bat- talions have proceeded to Neveska, where insurgent bands have reappeared. Turkish soldiers recently took fifty | women from the burned village of Klis- surti, and all attempts to recover them have been unavailing, the soldiers refus- ing to obey their officers. L Doubt Sincerity of Sultan. | PARIS, Sept. 24.—The French Foreign | Office officials doubt the sincerity of the | Porte’s reply to the Bulgarian note, be- | lieving it is merely a maneuver to impress the powers with the idea that Turkey fs | doing her utmost to effect a settlement | before ‘going to war. A similar impres- | sion seems to prevail at Sofia, since Bul- | garla In answering requires Turkey to cease mobllizing, stop the massacres and | withdraw her troops from near the fron- | tier before she will consider the proposals, | Families Flee From the Turks. SALONICA, Sept. 24.—Twenty-five fami- lies from Neveska have arrived here. They have abandoned their homes out of fear of the Turks.

LA GRANDE, Or., Sept. 24.—Express | Messenger Fred Korner’s story of the at- | tempted hold-up of the Oregon R.nlh'\mdl and Navagition train at Corbett last night, told upon the arrival of the train here to-day, is as follows: | “When the three masked robbers who | had climbed on the engine at Troutdale | compelled Engineer Barrett and Fireman | Stevenson to stop the train a mile ana a | haif from Corbett I saw them and told Glick, my helper, to turn out the lights. | Just then Stevenson came running to see | what was the matter, when as he neared | the express car one of the robbers shot at | him and, cursing, ordercd him back.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.—In a run- ning exchange of shots on the street to-| day Policeman John Donovan, 28 years | of age, and SBamuel Archer, a negro, were fataily wounded.

AT e S Vienna Government Realizes That a Crisis Is Fast Approachirg. e 5 % Plan of Mobilization of the Austrian Army Is Prepared by the Chief of Staff. i DEREE L LONDON, Sept. 25.—The Dally Mail's correspondent at Berlin telegraphs the sensational statement that there is a pos- siblity of a Kossuthist revolution in Hun- gary. He says that as a result of the German Emperor's visit to Vienna Ger- many has promised to assist Austria with troops should Austria be faced with the necessity of using armed force in Mace~ donia and simultaneously suppressing a revolution in Hungary. That the latter is not impossible, continues the corre- spondent, may be gathered from the fact that General von Beck, chief of the Aus- trian staff, submitted a plan of mobiliza- tion to Emperor William last week. The idea of placing Prince Eitel Frederick, the second son of the German Emperor, on the Hungarfan throne recelves no sup- port in Germany. BUDAPEST, Sept. 24.—The session of the Diet to-day was marked by stormy scenes which became so boisterous as to necessitate its suspension. Barabbas, a member of the Kossuth party, went so far as to say his party no longer belleved the statements of the Emperor-King Francis Joseph. Charges made against Premier Hedervary of complicity in the Bzarpay bribery scandal started the dis- turbance. On the resumption of business Count Hedervary was speaking, when he was suddeniy interrupted by Barabbas, who shouted: “We don’t believe the King.” Thereupon ‘all the Deputies, irrespective of party, arose with shouts of: “Rogue!" ““Traitor!” *“Out with him!" Barabbas tried to apologize, but his col- leagues refused to permit and a vote of censure upon him was recorded on the minutes. The House finally adjourned until the new Cabinet is formed. —_———— Dominican Government Must Settle.

Skl TONDON, Sept. 24.—America is now reaping great benefit from the storms which made the past summer one of the worst on record in Great Britain and the Continent. Thanks to the ruined home crops, California fruit is being imported in larger quantites than ever before. The sales last weck in London marked a rec- ord of 25,000 boxes of American fruit, rep- resenting about 675,000 pounds weight. The fruit was sold at a two days' auc- tion in Covent Garden Market, the prices {averaging 30 per cent above what has | heretofore been obtained here. The sales were chiefly of California pears and plums with a fair consignment of New York State Bartlett pears. There is practically no English fruit obtainable, while France, which usually exports large quantities of pears to England, is sending none. The American section of Covent Gar- den Market is now almost the sole source of supply, and there are no signs of the demand decreasing. lish firms dealing in foreign fruit said to a press correspondent: “There has never been anything Iltke it. Heretofore California fruit has been more of an adjunct to England’s supply than a serfous factor In the market. Now, owing to the fallure of French frult and the complete loss of the home crop the Amer- fcan branch of the market is watched more eagerly than any other.” Following are the current quotations per box: California pears, $1 9% to $2 30; €alifornia plums, $2 43@2 91; Bartlett pears, $1 82@2 30; peaches, $2 43G" 67. —_——— PRESIDENT APPROVES HAWAITAN BOND ISSUE Loan Authorized Is One Per Cent of the Ad Valorem Taxes for the Year 1802. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The Presi- dent. has approved the Hawallan bond issue of $1,220,100. That amount of Territorial indebtedness is authorized under the Hawailan loan act to be incurred during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904. The Hawallan Leg- islature authorized the raising of $2,460,471 during the biennial period ending June 30, 1805, but under the terms of the or- a loan beyond one year In order to guard agalnst the possible fallure of the reve- nues to meet the indebtedness. The finan- clal condition of Hawalii is shown by the official figures accompanying the bond is- sue proposition. The ad valorem taxes for the year 1302 were $122,910,803, the loan now authorized being 1 per cent of this amount. The to- tal expenses of the Territory for one year cannot exceed 7 per cent of the total assessed valuation, and this 7 per cent $8,603,756. The estimated liabilities, includ- ing the amount intended to be raised by the new loan, are $5,251,267, which covers all expenses of the Territory. —— e KANSAS CITY, Mo.

Dr. Stockton, when leaving the hotel shortly before 6 o’clock, sald: “Mrs. Davis Is in a serious condition, but her {llness is not of a nature that necessarily must prove fatal. I must be excused from discussing her case further to-night. To-morrow morning perhaps we will be able to make a_statement.” Mrs. Davis came|to Castle Inn on Mon- day from Port Colborne, Ont., where she has bden spending the summer. A party of friends accompanied her, twenty in all. It has been Mrs. Davis’' custom to spend her summers in Canada or at a northern resort, living in New York City during the winter months.

Watson of Pittsburg, of counsel for the American side, continued the presentation of the American case and expected to conclude his argument to-mErrow. Mr. Watson devoted the morning to an examination of Russia’s title, pointing out that everything in the Russo-British negotiations showed that Russia's We- mands for a boundary involved the ex- clusive possession of all the coast line. | He contended that without such a boun- d excluding Great Britain from the . the rest of the Russian possessions would X ! v afternoon to | contena s primary idea was | to establish a barrier to prevent the ad- of British trade from the East, while Great Britain at that time also de- | sired a barrier in order to sect e from the operations of the Hudson Bay Company.
