SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 17. The foreign
diplomats here are anxiously watching for
the effect of the memorandum the govern

on the condition of affairs In Mace
donia. They fear it may excite popular
opinion In Bulgaria, and point out. that
such emphatic, outspoken criticism Is
usually reserved for manifestos Issued on
the eve of war, although it is regarded as
being quite Improbable that the memoran
dum was a prelude, in the present case,
to anything more serious than increased
tension. Most of the diplomatic representa
tives at Soda visited the foreign office here
today and received assurances of the for
eign, minister that Bulgaria had not the
slightest desire to ants&ontte Turkey or
any other power, but merely wished to show
unmistakably where the responsibility for
the Macedonian revolution belonged.
Orders have been, issued for the mobiliza
tion .tomorrow of two divisions of reserves.
It is rumored that they will be employed
in strengthening the forces along the
frontier to prevent tha passage of . Bul
garian bands , Into Macedonia. Tho offi

founded and that the reserves are called

to fear the danger of differences between
the powers In respect to Macedonia, or that
the trouble will spread beyond the confines

the situation, said:
The powers are acting harmoniously.
Nothing has developed to cause suspicion
on the motives underlying the demands
made by liusata on the porte. A full ex

WARSHIPS IN COLLISION
Torpedo Boats Bam Each Other During
Presidential Review.
VESSELS PRESENT MAGNIFICENT SIGHT
Voar Columns, Eneh n Mile Long,
Thunder Forth Salutes as Na
tion's Head Visits Each
la Turn.
OTSTER BAT. N. T., Aug. 17.-For the
first, time In the history of the country
the president of the United Slates today
reviewed and Inspected, in tlmo of peace,
a great fleet tf United States warships.
The ceremony was a magnificent and Im
pressive naval spectacle. It was unmarrcd
by the slightest mishap until just at Its
conclusion, when the torpedo boat de
stroyer Barry rammed the destroyer De
catur, fortunately, however, doing Utte
damage.
The first squadron of destroyers Via ap
proaching Mayflower at full speed In close
formation. Orders were signalled from De
catur to form a wedge. In executing the
orders Decatur swung across the bow of
Barry. An instant later. Barry rammed It
on the starboard side. ' Decatur . listed
sharply to port and seemed to be in ser.
lous distress. Mayflower's boats were
manned Instantly, but were not lowered,
as Decatur was seen to right itself. In a
few minutes it hoisted a signal of "no
serious damage." and later steamed along
side Mayflower and Lieutenant Chandler
reported that while his ship had received
a bad bump on the starboard quarter It
waa not materially damaged. Barry, which
struck Decatur a glancing blow, had Its
bow crumpled but was not Injured other
wise. The accident put a sudden stop to
the maneuvers of the dertroyers squadron.
Twenty-One Vessela In 1.1 oe.
Twenty-one warships, drawn up tn four
parallel columns, a mile long, and Includ
ing some of the beat fighting ships In the
navy, resting on the glassy surface of Long
Island sound, composed the picture which
President Roosevelt was called on to in
spect. .
Two parallel columns of battleships and
cruisers, headed by Kearsarge, Rear Ad
miral Barker's flagship, flanked by files of
destroyers, composing the North Atlantic
fleet, covered the placid sound for two
miles off shore, from picturesque Lloyds
Neck, and blockading the mouth of Oyster
Bay, presented a splendid marine spec
tacle, abundantly suggestive of America's
sea power.
Good Weather for Review.
Fairer weather for the review could not
have been asked. When the president
boarded Mayflower's launch at the J.
West Roosevelt landing there was hardly
a ripple to wrinkle the surface of the water.
Mayflower lay In the mouth of Oyster
Bay. Nearby waa Dolphin, with Seoretary
Moody, Admiral Dewey and rear admirals
on board.
Before the president arrlve'd Secretary
Moody, Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Navigation;
Rear Admiral Rodgera, commandant of the
New York, navy yard; Captain Brownson,
commandant of the Naval academy; Gen
eral Chaffee, Bir Thomas Llpton, Colonel
Sherman-Crawford of the Royal Ulster
Tacht club, C. Oliver Iselln, W. Butler
Duncan, Woodbury Kane and Commodore
Frederick C. Bourne of the New York
Yacht club were taken on board May
flower. As the president stepped on the deck of
Mayflower Its guns spoke the first salute
of the morning. Leaving anchorage. Dol
phin passed Mayflower,' saluting" as It went
by.' Then Mayflower steamed, down r the
bay, followed by the president's yacht
Sylph, having guests of the president on
board- .
White Clad Sailors Salute.
With the president's flag flying from its
main truck Mayflower steamed slowly oft
to the east end of the right column, made
a sweeping curve and moved down through
the lane between the flnst column of battle
ships and cruisers and the first column of
destroyers. Lines of white clad sailors
manned the rails, anperstructure, fighting
tops and yards of the white fleet and dotted
the rails of the dark-hulled destroyers.
A twelve-pounder gun in Kearsarge'a seo
ondary battery ' spurted a little flash of
flame and smoke and the succession of
presidential salutes began. While the
smoke was drifting from Kearsarge's guns
the band ' struck up '"Columbia" and the
sailors gave the president a ringing cheer
as Mayflower moved by. At a speed of
three miles an hour the president's flagship
proceeded down the lane and, aa it ap
proached, the guns of each of the ships in
turn epoke in salute, their bands and the
cheers of the sailors joining in the tributes.
The guns of the' destroyers were silent.
President Passes Down Line.
From the bftdge of Mayflower President
Roosevelt, surrounded by a group of ad
mirals and guests, acknowledged the sa
lutes. At the end of the lane Mayflower
turned and passed down the line between
the second column of cruisers and second
line of destroyers. One after another' the
guns of Dolphin, Panther, Prairie, Yankee,
Topeka and Olympla saluted until, having
encircled the fleet and completed the first
part of the review, Mayflower stopped at
the head of the two columns between
Kearsarge and Olympla. As a naval pic
ture it was splendid and Inspiring.
launches put off from the warships and
scurried over to Mayflower, carrying the
commanders and flag officers to pay their
respects to the president with Whom they
lunched.
This formality completed the president
boarded Mayflower's launch and was con
veyed to Kearsarge, to return the official
call. Twenty-one guns from the secondary
battery spoke an official welcome and an
equal number at parting. In turn he vis
ited each of the battleships and cruisers,
the ceremony being repeated In each In
stance. Teasels Pass In Review.
On the return of the president to May
flower the vessel got under way and
steamed eastward for several miles coming
to anchor then In order that the fleet might
pass In review. The vessels of the fleet
weighed, anchor and in a atngle column
headed by Kearaage, steamed slowly
past Mayflower. The yards and rails of
every vessel were manned, the marines
were paraded and the bands played: "Hail
Columbia." President Roeaevelt, with
his distinguished naval guests reviewed the
fleet from Mayflower's bridge.
At the conclusion of the review the prin
cipal guests of the president, except Ad
miral Dewey and Captain Brownson left'
Mayflower. Secretary Moody. General
Chaffee, Assistant Secretary Sanger and
General Barry went aboard Dolphin while
Sir Thomas Llpton bearded Erin and
Privateer.
Mayflower returned to Its anchorage In
Oyeter Bay, the president, Mrs. Roosevelt
Miss Alice Roosevelt, Admiral Dewey and
Captain Browson leaving the ship st I
to the thunder of a final presidential
salute.

last night. Last year at this time there
were 723 paid memberships In the Knights

Aside "from the short business session.
the meeting waa unusually attractive, the
games and epoits of ancient Rome, with
several new qulrls and quirks, going with
great vim.
Count von Maul-Esel was the principal
speaker of the evening and his address
was greatly appreciated, although not nil
could understand It, as he spoke In Ger

those understanding the language willingly
translated the best points to their less for
tunate brethren. At ita close an informal
reception was held.'
Rev. Francis S. White of Omaha, Captain
A. G. Fisher of Chadron, A. Mandelbcrg of
Omaha, George A. Burllnghof of Beatrice,

BULLETIN ON WINTER WHEAT
Inlon Paclfle Collects Statistics Cov
ering Kansas nnd Nebraska
Yields.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of the
Union FaclflOwIll soon Issue "Agricultural
Bulletin No. 17," of the series, dealing this
"time with the yield of winter wheat In
Kansas and Nebraska. It Is carefully com
piled by counties from returns gathered
by the statisticians of tils . department, and
is rather under tha,n over the facts. It
summarises, the situation as follows:
Acreage Average Total Yield.
1P03. Bushels. Bushels.
Kansas - .254.747 15.70 101.727.717
Nebraska l,Sut,930 18.1? 35.208.718
Totals ....8,333,525
S6.938.43S
It Is noted that In the two states there Is
an Increase In acreage over the reports of
last year of 233,839 acres (199.012 acres in
Kansas and 34.827 In Nebraska). Comment
ing on this the bulletin says:
Anyone who examines the tabular state
ment by counties will see that the Increase
has taken place In the western portions of
each state. It seems to be demonstrated
that the western counties of both Kansas
and Nebraska are destined to excel In the
production of winter wheat, thus proving
untrue the statement that west of the
lflOth meridian land is unsuitable for rais
ing of crops.
In the production of winter wheat In Kan
sas and Nebraska as compared with its
total production In the I'nlted States and
North America ahd the world some Inter
esting facta appear. The combined yield or-
winter wneat in Kansas and eoraska this
year will be over one-fifth of the. total yield
of the United States for 1902, over one
sixth of the total yield for North America
In 1502 and over one twenty-third of- the
total yield made by all the wheat lands
of the world last year. One seems justified
In asserting that more careful attention
to the selection of seed and better methoda
of preparing land for seeding will in the
next ten years vastly Increase the yield
of winter wheat In Kansas and Nebraska,
will not Only keep them In the front rank
of wheat producing atates, but will place
them a long distance In advance of nil othe?
atates In the union and of nil other coun
tries of the aame area In the world.

INTEREST ON ROADS TO BE GUARANTEED
Negotiations Already I nder War Perm
to Presage Early Commencement
of Active Construction
Work In Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Feeretsry Rot
has been In correspondence with Governor
Taft In connection with the construction
of a system of railroads In the Islands
amounting to some 600 miles. It Is proposed
to build a line from Manila north through
Luson to the barbor at the northernmost
end of the lalund. Another projected line
Is a branch from this north and south line
over the mountains to the eastern coast.
Another proposed line is from Manila south
to Batangas. It has been suggested also
that a, line be constructed along the west
coaat of Luson from Dngupan, the preaent
terminus of the Manila, and Dagupan road,
to the north end of the. Island. These propo
sitions, which have been considered by the
secretary of war and the governor of the
Philippines, contemplate aid by the Philip
pine government In the construction of the
roads. It Is expected that a guarantee of
the Interest on the cost of the roads In case
the roads prove unable to pay such Interest
out of the earnings will be sufficient to
induce capital to Invest in the different
enterprises. The Philippine government
could not make grants of land to aid in the
construction of the road, but it could grant
rights bf way.
It has been determined that the Philip
pine government has the authority to guar
antee the interest on the railroad bonds,
the payment of Interest to constitute a
Hen on the railroad property.
The secretary of war believes that the
construction of these roads would be of
Immense benefit and would settle for all
time the question of possible Insurrections

For nnllra and natrnt of the Island the

cost of railroad construction. Tne secre

portion of the Island where constructed.
He thinks a similar result would follow the

the puhlpct. which has reached such a
stage that it Is believed construction work
may start speedily.
Some of the projects for railroads Include
the construction of short lines in Ml
danao, but these are not considered of such
mportance as those ofLuzon.
In ronnectron with the Dl'ODOsed system
of railroads, Secretary Root and Governor
Taft have been considering the claim of
the Manila & Dagupan railroad against
the United States. The road has made a
claim for damages by Insurgents before
and since the occupation and under the
Paris peace treaty. Secretary Root has
refused to approve the plan of settlement,
because there Is a clause in the charter of
th rn.ri thut it shall become the property
of the government at the end of fifty years
and one of the articles of agreement In the
settlement which was . insisted on by the
railroad company was .that the government
should relinquish all claim, under, the, fifty
year provision. ,. v J

but will not have the distinctive mark. The
bids will be opened on September 6 and
the awards will be made by the 15th. It Is
expected that there will be less delay in

CENTRAL PARK IMPROVERS
Clnb Holds Open llouee and Listens
to Several Addresses on rertl
nent Topics.
The largest meeting In Its history was
held by the Central Park Improvement club
at the Congregational church, corner Of
Forty-second and Saratoga streets, Inst
evening. The church wna crowded and the
regular order of business was given over to
an open meeting, which was addressed by
Judge Slabnugh, president of the Central
Federation cf Improvement Cluhs. Fd
F. Morerty and Frank Weaver also spoke,
th latter In the Interest cf the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company.
Judge Slnbaugh's address was In the
nature of an explanation of the purposes
and objects of the central club, which, he
said, represented the combined strength of
all the Independent clubs. He likened Im
provement clubs to the dynemos of munlcl
pal enterprise, because they worked to
gether for the general good. Improvement
means not only street grades, sidewalks,
street cars and viaducts and bridges, but
It means art and beauty In their construc
tion; not merely utility, but beauty aa well.
The central club Is In reality the clearing
house of all Improvement clubs.
Mr. Morearty spoke of the Importance
and necessity of Improvement clubs and the
great work they are capable of accomplish
ing for the adornment of the city. They
are the bane of the politicians nnd ward
boFses and are coming to be considered tho
strongest factor In municipal affairs.
Mr. Weaver said he was present in the
Interest of the ellctrlc light company. Ite
said that the proposition of the company
for lighting the city Is not yet before tho
council. He would be glad to present to
the club at Its next meeting the facts and
figures of what the elertrlo light company
proposed to do. in order that the club may
act comprehensively upon any recommenda
tions that It may be disposed to make to
the council In the premises.
Following Mr. Weaver's address tho
women served a lunch of cake and lemon
ade to the club and visitors.
While no special business was transacted.
the question of the wants of Central Park
were Informally discussed. The principal
want at this time Is street car connection
with the city. Two propositions for tho
extension of the Ames avenue line are
being considered. One Ir that the lino be
continued from Thirty-sixth to Thirty
seventh on Ames, thence on Thirty-seventh
to Fowler, thence to Thirty-ninth, thence
to Grand avenue and west on Grand avenue
to Forty-seoond street. The other is to
extend the Amea street line direct west
from Thirty-sixth to Forty-second street
at Fontatujlle park.
A large number of persons signed the club
roll and paid tho requisite fee. The clu!
Is but three months old and Is already a
vry active one. Much Is needed out there
In the way of improvements and the Cen
tral Park people are bound to have them.
The regular business meeting of the c1m'
will be held next Monday evening.
HANDSOME NEW STREET SIGN
Mllwnnkee Rond Installs Moat Artletle
. Illuminated Announcement In
the City
It was late last night when Eugene Duval
and Court Carrier of the Milwaukee went
home, and later still before tl.ey clocel
their eyes In sleep. And even when they
did finally succumb to tho persistent woo
ing of the drowsy god, their dreams were
roseate Indeed, for they were colored by
recollections of the new street sign which
shone forth In front of the Milwaukee up
town office for the first time last night. It
is by far the most artistic Illuminated aign
In Omaha and one of the prettiest ever
shown anywhere. It Is in keeping with the
Other appointments of the new city offices
of the Milwaukee and Is constructed of
glass and metal of finest workmanship,
showing the Milwaukee coat-of-arms the
white lettering On the background of deep
carmine. When the electric lights were
turned on for the first time last night the
pretty effect was generally commented
upon by the people who throng the buslejt
corner In Omaha.
SHEEP BUSINESS DECLINES
Prominent Indnstry of Idaho Not ns

Bolso Man.
John Gary, a leading sheep man of Boise.
Idaho, Is a guest st the Merchants. He
says of the sheep Interests up in that lo-
"The sheep industry is noi me mui en
couraging buslnesa with us Just now. V. ool
brings only 13 cents there and we have
very little sale for wetners. we are Hav
ing no trouble with the cattle men, as ours
Is almost exclusively a sheep country.
Th.m waa a law enacted by the atate leg
islature last year to permit no sheep within
two miles of a residence, but If It" was
rigidly enforced it would anve an xnn
sheep out of Idaho. We raise lots of al
f.ita alone the Snake and Boise rivers snd
new Irrigation ditches are now being built
In both of these valleys, some came aro
raised In our vicinity, but not many. Dome
farming Is done along tne vaueys. we uo
sot raise much wheat."
