'A SCENE OF HOEEOB
NOT UESS THAN 3,000 PERSONS
SAID TO BE IIO3IELESS.
Sweeping Down in Large
Numbers and Christians and For
eigners Take Refuge in Consulates-
Killing of Americans Confirmed.
A dispatch from Beirut , Syria , says :
'A terrible uprising has occurred in
Adana , Asiatic Turkey. Street fight
ing has been going on for three days
and at least 1,000 people have been
killed. The city has been practically
destroyed by fire. American mission
aries named Rogers and Maurer , the
latter from Hadjin , are dead. All
other Americans are safe. The British
vice consul , Maj. Daughty-Wylie , is
among the wounded. He was she :
through the arm.
At Tarsus there was less loss of life
The Armenian quarter , however , was
destroyed. Three thousand refugees
are housed in the American mission
The need of relief is urgent , for short
ly the fugitives will be on the vergt
of starvation. Conditions in the vi
cinity of Alexandretta are most ser
tous. .
Confirmation hag been received a-
Constantinople of the killing of twi
American missionaries at Adana. Tin
murdered missionaries were Mr
Rogers and Mr. Maurer. The otheri
connected with the missions are safe ,
Including Mr. Christie , who is at Tar
sus. Three French warships are
hurrying to Mersina , where the situa
tion is desperate. Foreigners and
Many Christians have taken refuge in
the consulates. The local troops and
the governor are doing their best to
protect the town , but there is great
fear that it cannot hold out much
longer against the invasion of the
Moslems , who are sweeping down in
large numbers. The American vice
consul at Mersina , John Debbas , has
"been unable to proceed to Adana ,
owing to the interruption of communi
cations. A British warship is pro
ceeding to Alexandria , which is
threatened by the Moslems. Several
Armenian families in that neighbor-
liood have been destroyed. Alarm is
felt at Kharput because of serious de
predations by the Kurds in the sur
rounding villages , although the town
itself has not been the scene of anj
particular disorder.
The tension in Constantinople ovei
the situation is very great , although
Sunday afternoon there seemed to be
some prospects of a peaceful situation
The people of the capital are more
concerned with the advance of the
Salonica troops than they are with the
massacres that are reported from
various quarters.
The army , which is concentrating al
Tchatalje , has promised not to enter
Constantinople , but to await there the
fulfillments of its demands.

CAN STATE ACQUIRE NORMAL ?
Through Twisted Legislation ,

Fremont has not given up the figh
to prevent the purchase of the Wayn

raising a technicality regarding th <
wording of the bill.
The bill provides th'at the "board o
education of the state normal schools'
shall attend to the buiying and hav >
charge o'f the school after its pur
chase. The legislature abolished thi
board and createel a new one call th <
"Normal Board of Education. " It wil

never given power to do so.
.COAL RATES TO BE RAISED.
Omaha Dealers Arc to Make Figh
Against the Advance.
The Chicago-Omaha roads have jus
announced that on May 1 the rate or
coal billed from the city on the lake :
and consigned to points west of th <
Missour river will be advanced 2 (
cents per ton. In other words , th <
rate of § 1.80 per ton now in force wil
be increased to $2 per ton.
However , it is possible that this
rate will not go into effect until it has
been fought out in the courts , for the
coal elealers declare that they pro
pose to contest the advance , taking the
position that there is no reason whj
the rate on coal from Chicago to the
Missouri river should be any highei
than at the present time or during tb :
past.

WOULD DRAW LINE ON DRINKS
Stockmen at Omaha Ask 3Ianager o
Yards to Close Saloon.
More than 100 of the live stock com
mission men of South Omaha hav <
taken peculiar steps looking to th <
curtailing of business. They hav <
signed a petition asking General Man
ager Buckingham , of the Union Stocl
Yards , to discontinue the saloon in th <
Exchange building. Here is the rea
son for doing this :
Commission men all know that whei
their customers come to the yard ;
with their stock or to buy feeders t <
take back to the farms and ranchei
ihey must be entertained , and the fig-
ires show that there are many in
tances where the bar bills of some o :
he firms have frequently run fron
.50 to $100 per month. The signer ;
o the petition take the position tha
f the saloon was taken away fronr
he yards they could do as much busi-
less as now and that all of the monej
low spent for treats \\ould be velvet
The commission men all expect tc
serve meals to their customers , provid
ing they are at the yards at meal time
and they do not object to this , bul
from now on they are going to try ane ]
Jraw the line on the drinks.
It is reported that Manager Buck
ingham has told some of the exchange
members that if the saloon is closed
the dining room must go , for there Is
no profit in running the latter , though
the meals served average about 500
per day.
In South Omaha the saloons pay a
license of $1,000 per year , and it is said
that the one at the stock yards is a
money maker. The license expires
April 30 and it is certain that it will
run until then , but what will occur
thereafter is problematic , for right now
no one will attempt to say.
ANDITOR TO ENFORCE LAW.
Begins General Insurance Campaign
in Nebraska.
State Auditor Barton has started
out to make every insurance com
pany doing business in Nebraska eith
er conform to the law and the require
ments of his office or quit business.
To a number of companies Mr.
Barton has sent letters calling at
tention to their Aveak points and giv
ing instruction for these matters to be
corrected or he will at once proceed
to put the companies out of business.
The action of the auditor has stirred
up quite a rumpous among several of
the companies and one company wrote
the auditor a lengthy letter telling
what it intended to in the way of re
form. This was answered by Mr.
Barion with the statement that
promises did not go and that the evils
must be corrected by May 1 or pro
ceedings would be instituted.
Between now arid July the auditor
will issue his order prohibiting any
company from printing on its policies
the statement that the same is guar
anteed by the state. A bill which was
introduced in the legislature attempt
ed to prevent this , but it failed of
passage. The bill gave the compa
nies until January 1 , 1910 , to conform
to the new rule and get rid of their
present literature. The auditor will
make his ruling in conformity with
that bill , which was killed by the in
surance lobby.

to be the largest individual cattle
feeder in the Avorld. His yards and
pens are at almost every station on
the main line of the Union Pacific

In addition to feeding cattle he owns

The changes in the cabinet in Febru

political situation by the Young Turk

Sultan a ministry of its own nominees.
The committee publicly repudiated any
intention to overthrow the Sultan or to
establish a military dictatorship , but
the crisis did not promise well for the
stability of the throne or the success
of parliamentary government. It haa
