AS TO BULGARIA
WILL WAIT TWO DAYS
THEN TAKE ACTION.
AND
A CONFLICT SEEMS AT HAND
Little Nation, at Whatever Cost, Will
Cast Lot with Persecuted Chris
tians of Macedonia Will Protect
the Women and Children.
IONDON Disquieting rumors come
from Vienna and elsewhere regarding
teh Balkan crisis and whilst it is im
possible to confirm the more sensa
tional statements, here is accumula
tion of evidence that some violent so
lution cannot long be delayed.
The Sofia correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph sends, under Satur
day's date, another long dispatch
warmly defending Bulgaria's patient
and quixotic attitude of loyalty toward
the porte and the powers denouncing
Europe's indifferences to the wiping
out of a large Christian community.
He says: "Bulgaria has displayed
tinexemapled moderation. Her last
urgent request to the powers was that
they should compel Turkey to suppress
he uprising by legitimate methods of
warfare, but to spare women and chil
dren from indignities anl massacres.
But even this. Christian Europe has
-efused and Prince Ferdinand's gov
rrnment. having fully considered the
luestion and aware of the disastrous
fonsequences with which the powers
'hreaten Bulgaria if she intervenes,
has decided that she cannot longer
neglect her sacred duty to prevent the
Christian population being done to
death. In a couple of days more the
die will be cast and Bulgaria will do
her duty. An official communication
will be made to the powers in the
above indicated time, and forthwith
the necessary measures will be taken
and only countermanded if the pow
ers immediately intervene. This is
Bulgaria's last word. The moral re
sponsibility will fall upon Christian
Europe, even if the material conse
quences have to be endured by Bul
garia." A dispatch from Constantinople to
the Standard says large forces are be
ing collected to the north and north
west of Constantnople. where, in the
event of war, the first fighting is ex
pected to occur, and. though allusions
to any plan of compaign is strictly
censured, it may be assumed that Ger
man advice during recent years had
not left Turkey unprepared this time.
From Vienna comes the semi-official
statement that Austria has again pro
posed to the powers to admonish Bul
garia, but that so far nothing hai
come of the proposition.
ATROCITIES BEYOND BELIEF.
Turk Dg Fiesh from Living Woman
with Pocket Knives.
LONDON The Daily Mail's corre
spondent at Monastir, in a dispatch
dated September 6. claims that him
self, the British vice consul. MacGreg
or. and an American missionary nam
ed Bond, are the intended victims
of Turkish revenge because they re
ported the Turkish atrocities. If their
murder could be compassed, it would
be fathered upon the Bulgarians.
The correspondent describes further
atrocities by soldiers. In one case
they flayed a little girl's head, while
in another they dug the flesh from
under a woman's arms with pocket
knives in order to see the working ot
her lungs.
A Constantinople dispatch .to the
Daily Mail, dated September 10. says
the porte telegraphed to Washington
asking to have the Am?rican squad
ron recalled from Beirut, but the re
quest wa3 refused. Minister Irish
man declared that it would remain un
til the departure of the late vali. Res
bid Pasha.

Captain Barclay Steps Up.
WASHINGTON Rear Admiral Ca
sey, recently detached from command
of the Pacific squadron, was retired on
account of age, after nearly forty
seven years of active service. Captain
Charles J. Barclay, commanding the
Puget Sound navy yard, will become a
rear admiral. Captain B. P. Lambert,
who is ordered to command the South
Atlantic squadron, now stands at the
head of the list of captains and will be

Gives Out the Statistics.
WASHINGTON The interstate
commerce commission made public
statistics covering part of a general
report on the state regulation and tax
ation of railways in the United States
n 1902. It shows that thirty states
exercised control over railways
through commissions and says the
legislative tendency during the past
twelve years has been in the di
rection of more efficient control over
rates.
PENSION LIST GROWING LESS.
Beneficiaries Drop Below the Million
Mark.
WASHINGTON The annual report
of Commissioner of Pensions Ware
places the total number of pension
ers now on the rolls at 990,543. of
which 725.356 are soldiers and 207.
185 are widows and dependents. Mr.
Ware announces that it is not prob
able that the pension roll will again
cross the million line, the high water
mark having been reached a year
ago.
Five of the pensions are on the roll
on account of the war of the revolu
tion; 1,116 of the war of 1812; 4.7.14
on account of Indian wars, and 12.S74
on account of the Mexicai war. T lie
average annual value of each pension
is now $133. The total annual value
of the Spanish war pension roll has
reached $1,765,310.
Commissioner Ware makes the fol
lowing recommendations: Laws for
feiting the pension or right to pension
of any man convicted in court of an
Infamous crime; prohibiting the giv
ing of pensions to women who marry
soldiers after the soldiers become old
pensioners; a different method of ex
amining applicants for pensions, Mrv
Ware stamping the present system as
uncertain, unsatisfactory and of an
enormous amount of political friction.
Mr. Ware says the bureau has gain
ed on the current work 100,000 cases
during the last two years.
TO ENFORCE PURE FOOD LAW.
Some Foreign Goods Are to Be Shut
Out.
WASHINGTON, D. C The agri
cultural department is making strong
efforts to keep out of the country
all imported goods, the entry of which
is prohibited under the pure food act.
Since August 1, when the act went
into effect, approximately 600 ship
ments of meats, wine, olive oil, etc.,
have hec-n held up pending an exam
ination as to the determination of the
question whether their use is prohib
ited in the country whence they are
imported into the United States. Up
to this time only one shipment, con
sisting of white wine, has been re
fused entry.
The special agents and consuls
abroad keep the department advised
by cable of all shipments of goods
which may come within the prohibi
tions of the law, and instructions are
sent at once to the collectors at the
ports here they are to arrive to hold
them in warehouses and send sam
ples to Washington for analysis.

KEY NOTE OF THE NATIONAL IR
RIGATION CONGRESS.
MANY STATES REPRESENTED
Largest Number of Delegates That
Ever Assembled at a Similar Gath
ering Much More Interest Than
on Former Occasions.
OGDEN, Utah. Twenty-six states
and territories of the union are rep-
resented at the eleventh National Ir
rigation congress, which began a four
days session in the Ogden tabernacle
Tuesday, this being the largest num
ber ever represented since the begin
ning of the movement for the reclama
tion of the arid west. As showing
how the movement has taken on a
national scop, delegates were present
even from New York, Virginia, Penn
sylvania and Vermont, and while the
states of the western plains and moun
tains, representatives and state and
municipal governments and commer
cial organizations of all kinds came
by hundreds. The convention in fact
has run away with the officers of the
congress, for so great is the numbers
of delegates already on the ground,
with more coming in on every train,
that the seating capacity of the taber
nacle is totally inadequate. An inter
national aspect was lent to, the pro
ceedings by the presence of two rep
resentatives of foreign governments,
Mexico and France, while the govern
ment at Washington was represented
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
At both the morning and afternoon
sessions the building was packed with
interested delegates and the keynote
of the present congress, as expressed
both by Governor Wells of Utah in
his speech of welcome, and President
W. A. Clark in his response, that
"The Time Has Come to Do Things"
was heartily cheered. Important re
sults, beneficial to the cause of irri
gation, are confidently anticipated by
both delegates and officials from the
present congress, and the first resolu
tion, introduced by Senator Burton of
Kansas, favoring the conserving of
the flood waters of the great rivers
as a part of the scheme of irrigation
of the west was received with so
much favor that there seems to be
no doubt .that such action will be
overwhelmingly favored.
Other resolutions, outlining a dis
tinct plan of forest preservation, are
expected to be adopted before the ses
sions of the congress close.
Wednesday the subject of "Coloniza
tion" will be taken up and discussed
by men prominent in railway and so
cial organization work.

Westinghouse Strike May Tie Up Im

PITTSBURG, Pa. The strike at the

President O'Connell of the Interna

compers of the American FederatioS
of Labor. It is claimed that the sup
port of that body has been assured
and that a meeting of the executive
council of the American Federation of

Washington on September 21, when
the question of calling out all union'
men employed on Westinghouse con
tracts on the fair grounds will receive
consideration, providing an appeal to
be made to the Westinghouse people
in the meantime by President Gompers
is not satisfactorily answered.
Heroic Work of Hospital Nurses.
SALT LAKE, Utah. Heroic work

The loss will not exceed $10,000. Two
patients. William Dalton and George
Black, were so badly shocked by the

CASE AGAINST PORTZ.
Bulgaria Presents Evidence Which
Caused Note to Powers.
SOFIA. Bulgaria Following are
some of the points in the note which
Bulgaria has just presented to the
powers:
That what the Bulgarian govern
ment had foreseen, as expressed in its
note of June 29 of the development
of affairs In Turkey, has become am
ply verified. The Turkish govern
ment is systematically annihilating
the Bulgarian people.
The mobilization and concentration
I of sucn great lorcese In
European
Turkey, under the pretext of suppress
ing the revolution, gives Bulgaria rea
son to suppose that at an opportune
moment she will be attacked by Tur
key.
The Bulgarian government can no
longer remain indifferent to the preB
ence of such a situation, which is of a
nature calculated to bring about a hos
tile collision between Turkey and Bui
garia.
If the great powers do not take
measures to give tne sublime porte
counsels of wisdom and ot moderation
the Bulgarian government will be
obliged to take the necessary steps
to be ready for every eventuary and
to not be taken by surprise.
COTTON MAKES A VISIT.
American Admiral Calls on the New

bulletin:
"Admiral Cotton telegraphs from

"Twenty-eight persons, including
the principals in the disturbances of

"Beyroot is quiet. Administration
of new governor, general inspires con
fidence. The former governor gener
al left on the 12th inst. for Constan
tinople." Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister,
called at the state department. A
cablegram received by him from his
government told of a fierce encounter
which took place near Kesey between
Turkish troops and the Bulgarian
brigands, in which over 100 of the
latter were killed and a large number
taken prisoners. The dispatch also
said that quantities of arms and am
munition and dynamite bombs were
captured. The minister informed
Acting Secretary Adee that the op
erations of the Turkish troops recent
ly has led to the capture of a large
number of Bulgarian brigands, and
that a state of panic exists among
them in consequence of the deter-,
mination of the sultan to suppress
their lawless acts.
HEAVY DAMAGE TO GRAIN.
Wheat and Hay Badly Injured in
Washington.
PORTLAND, Ore. A special to the
Oregonian from Spokane says: Re
ports of damage to the grain and hay
crops are coming in from all sections
of eastern Washington except in the
Big Bend. Few districts have not
materially suffered from rains. For
the past two weeks rain has fallen in
heavy showers nearly all day, the
drenched expanse extending from
Walla Walla county north to the in
ternational boundary and into north
Idaho. A fair estimate of the wheat
harvest is that two-thirds has been
cut. Much of this is stacked in the
fields and is swelling from the heavy
downpour.

CONSTANTINOPLE The Arm rican
consul at Beyroot reports that the sit

the confidence inspired by Naziir

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
Condition of Corn in Nebraska and
Oter States.
NEW YORK The weather bureau's
weekly crop bulletin says in part:
Except in Iowa, northern Missouri
and eastern Nebraska, where exces
sive moisture has prevented rapid ri
pening, the corn crop has made sat
isfactory progress, the bulk of early
planting over the southern portion of
the belt being practically safe from
frost. In Iowa, northern Missouri and
eastern Nebraska the advance has
been very slow, and the bulk of the
crop over the northwest portion of the
corn belt will require from two to
three weeks of ripening weather.
The northwest portion of the corn
belt has been threatened with dam
age from the recent cold, the freezing
temperatures occurring in the north
ern Rocky mountain districts having
extended as far eastward as the west
ern portions of Dakota and northwest
Nebraska on the 14th and 15tth, but
with the exception of the Dakotas no
serious injury has resulted.
