MISSIONARY ON TRIAL FOR SEDITION
Itepresentntlve of I'nlted States gays
that Ha W1I1 Sea Jnstlce Is
Done to Jtnuiti Mam
at Harpeet.
WASHINGTON. Aug. tl.-Chekib Bey,
the Turkish minister, had a long Interview
today with BecreUry Hay. He refused to
discuss the Interview, statins that he had
nothing to communicate further than what
appeared In the Associated Press dispatches
yesterday morning. ,
After the Interview Secretary Hay visited
the Navy department. If the Turkish min
ister requested that the European squadron
be kept away from Turkish waters his re
quest probably cannot be (ranted, even
should this g-overnment desire to accede to
It, as the Navy department states that It
Would be Impossible to communicate with
either Brooklyn or Ban Francisco until
they arrive at Beyroot.
Cheklb Bey assured Secretary Hay that
the Turkish government had done nothing
wrong and will use every endeavor to pro
tect American citizens residing In Turkey.
He a! ho discussed the conditions of the In
surrection In Turkey and said that the
Turkish government was not responsible
for any of the disasters that had occurred.
Secretary Hay's call upon Acting Secre
tary Darling was for the purpose of ascer
taining the whereabouts of the European
squadron and also what Its orders are.
There is no Intention of changing any or
ders at present, especially an the ships can
not be reached) until they arrive at Beyroot.
No messages of importance have been re
ceived from Mlnlstr Lelschman today.
Heports Da Not Agree.
Iate dlnpatohea from Minister Leishman
give In detail the conditions in Turkey and
do not differ materially In tone from those
previously sent. Minister Leishman does
not, aa reported In some quarters, request
the withdrawal of the American ships from
Turkish waters.
While 'reports by way of London state
that no attempt waa made upon the Ufe of
Vice Consul Magelssen official advices so
far received show that such an attempt
was made. The present status was known
before the ships left Genoa and this gov
ernment did not decide to change the
orders.
It is now stated, however that should
there be a calm and peaceful condition at
Bevrorit when' the .ships arrive there the
rnatter of sending them to another point
ill be considered and possibly adopted.
The Turkish minister made no - request
tipon Secretary Hay at the Interview to
day regarding the movement of United
Btate war vessels and nothing on this
matter was promised by the State depart
ment. In one of the dispatches from Minister
Irishman he refers to the question of the
trial of one of the teachers In one of the
missions at Harpoot and the minister In
formed the department that he can se
nothing Irregular In the trial, but at the
request of the missionaries he Is seeing
to It that no Injustice Is done. The man
Was arrested charged with sedition.
An la formal Representative.
Some question has been raised aa to
whether Chekib Bey la an actual minister
of Turkey, because his . credentials have
' not been presented and he has not yet been
officially received as minister by the presl
dent. No point la made by the State de
partment on this account and Becretary
Hay considers Ctyekib Bey as the minister
of Turkey to the United States. The pre
senting of the credentials Is a mere for
mality, as the State department Is aware
that the minister has been duly accred
ited by bis government and has his ere
denUals with him.
It Is said at the Navy department today
- that although there are two colliers ' now
In Turkish waters, Brutus and Alexander,
, there will probably be no necessity tor
holding them In order to supply the Euro
pean squadron with ooal. All three of the
ships have their bunkers filled, and It
.was said that this supply would last them
tor some time; but should any emergency
arise requiring the warships to coal
quickly they can do so at a number of
Mediterranean porta where the govern
tnent has contracts with dealers.

SOFIA, Aug. 31. Both In official and
revolutionary clrclues the opinion Is freely
held that war between Bulgaria and Turkey
is Imminent, and can be averted by nothing
hort of a miracle, it Is not expected
that either government will formally de
clare hostilities, but thst the prevailing
conditions will force on a war.
There Is no question that large numbers
of Insurgents have recently crossed the
frontier. An extensive outbreak In north
ern Macedonia Is possible any day. The
Autonomic prints a telegram from Con
stantinople declaring that the sultan, in
fluenced by the counsels of Germany, now
favors a war with Bulgaria. The Turks
here, however, tske an optlmlstlo view,
asserting that there Is no danger of a
war, as Turkey does not desire one and
Prince Ferdinand and the present Bul
garian government are not In a position
to force hostilities.
The Bulgarian agent at Uskub reports
that the detachments of Turkish troops
sent to garrison the small towns In thst
vilayet have spread destruction along their
route; the villagers have been robbed and
beaten, the women violated and the Chris
tian population subjected to every con
celvable outrage, while the local author
ities appear to be helpless to stop the
atrocities. At the village of Dracheve, six
miles from Uskub. the soldiers attackel
all the peasants without the Interference
of the gendarmes. The Bulgarian agent
specifies similar excesses In many other
villages and the position of the Bulgarian
residents Is reported to be terrible, as the
cruelties committed by the Turkish au
thorities exceeded all limits.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening Prince Fer
dlnand had not arrived In Sofia and the
court officials declare that they are with
out Information as to his movements.
Prince Canses Anxiety.
The nonarrlval here of Prince Ferdinand
and the mystery surrounding his move
ments, although characteristic, he having
always maintained similar reticence and
independence regarding his movements.
causes anxiety here. One report says the
prince has gone through Roumanla to the
palace of Euxlnograd, near Verna, ' while
according to another report he la at Phil-
lippolis. In Macedonian circles It Is be
lieved that he fears to return to Sofia ow

The revolt has become general at Cases

The refugees say the Turkish garrison fired
upon the Bulgarian port of Malkotlrnovo
with the object of creating an Impression

and to a Cathollo orphan asylum $750,0 0,

are ex-Chief of Police Lees and W. H.
Barnes of this city, both deceased. Some
look upon the document as a hoax. No son
was ever known to exist, yet this Is the

The mysteries of tbbt purported will are
Increased by the Introduction of a putative
heir In the person of Charles L. Fair, Jr.
This heir was hinted at some months sgo
by Attorney William Cannon,, who stood
sponsor for It, as entitled to a share of the
estate of the dead millionaire. That child,
however, was never produced in the flesh,
and the attorney never disclosed the Iden

of the alleged will: "I believe It is a tske.
and I will not ask that It be admitted for
probate. As far aa the child of Charles I
Fair Is concerned, I have nothing further
to say at this time."
Attorneys and other Interested In the

NEW TORK, Aug. 81. Agsln today the
beautiful cup defender Reliance failed to
reKlater Its third victory over Llpton's
challenger because the wind died to nothing
and the time limit of five and a half hours
expired before it could reach the finish
line. Its margin was approximately the
same as on Thursday last. It wss less than
half a mile from the finish when the gun
sounded. Shamrock III waa a faint blur on
the horlson, fully two and a half miles
astern. Reliance's failure to score the race
was the more exasperating because Its ulti
mate triumph Is now conceded even bv Sir
Thomas himself to be. simply a formality.
The superiority of the Herreshoft bost
In any kind of weather is acknowledged
by the yachting critics of both sides of the
Atlantic and today's fluke only prolongs
the agony of the contest thst has already
been decided. The waning Interest In the
cup rsces was strikingly Illustrated by the
sixo of the observation fleet. If the crowd
which went down to the ocean course to
day could be dignified by such a title. Out
side of tbe revenue cutters which patroled
the course if consisted of half a dosen
slde-wheelers with almost empty decks, a
few seagoing tugs and a score of steam
yachts.
Race la Roagh Sea.
The easterly wind and rain last night
hsd served to knock 'down the sea some
what, although It was rough enough the
first two hours of the race to make the
excursion boats tumblo about a good deal
and the yachts to plunge and stagger on
tneir way to the outer mark. But as the
day wore on the wind hauled to the north
and fell to a mere tephyr, hardly strong
enough to round out the enormous can
vasses of the sloops, and the sea subsided
to a smooth surface.
The race was spiritless from tha begin
ning. It waa laid fifteen miles to wlndwsrd
up the long Island shore and retdVn. lu
saving feature waa the alert. In which
Captain Wrings, by a- pretty plots of ma
neuvering, neatly turned the tables on the
Yankee skipper and captured the windward
berth. Even so, tha yachts crossed the line
abreast like a harnessed team of horses.
Shamrock's Worst Defeat.'
But within fifteen minutes the defender
waa showing Its heels to the challenger,
and when the float at the outer mark was
reached Reliance rounded It twenty min
utes and twenty-three seconds ahead of Its
rival.
In the five times the boats bava met this
was by far the worst beating Shamrock III
has had In windward work. The Interest
after that was as to whether Reliance
would be able to reach tha finish line In
time to score the race.
The racers waited about Sandy Hook
lightship until 10:4S, when Navigator sig
nalled that the starting line would be
shifted and tha race postponed until later
In the day. After running five, miles south
from tbe lightship Navigator signalled a
windward and leeward course.
From east northeast a five-knot wind
was blowing. The easterly gala had left
a long, heavy sea running and as the yachts
jockeyed about the starting line they lifted
their long bows high out of the water on
top of the awell and pounded the sea Into
a froth.
Captala Wrings Wins Point.
For the first time In the series Captain
Wringe of Shamrock III cleverly out-gen-eraled
the redoubtable Captain Barr In the
preliminary jockeying. Five minutea before
the atart Captain Barr held the windward
berth, then both ran away from the line.
Shamrock leading. Two minutes before the
starting gun Shamrock headed up into the
wind, tacked, forced Reliance to do the
same, and both ran for the line, Reliance
leading. They reached it before the start
ing gun and Reliance bad to run along Jthe
lee side of It to await the gun. Shamrock
reached the line as the gun sounded, and
not having to sheer off, secured the weather
position.
It was a trick which Captain Barr had
worked often but never with belter flnenes
or more satisfactory results. The official
starting time of both yachts was 11:46:36.
The first tack, five minutes after cross
ing the line, put Shamrock III ahead, but
under the lee bow of Reliance. Captain
Wringe gave his boat a good full and the
way It began to walk away from the de
fender made It look aa though It had found
Itself at last. But thla wss for only a
few minutes. When he began to pinch
Into the wind It was apparent that Re
liance was outpointing the challenger and
altogether making better work 'of it.
They held on one tack, east, southeast,
for nearly an hour. During that time
the defender worked up to windward, a
good quarter of a mile. When Reliance
tacked Bhamrock III refused to follow,
so Barr put his crsft on ths port tsck
again. This placed Reliance a mile north
of Kharorck III.
Wlad Helpa Reliance.
Fifteen minutes later the wind suddenly
shifted to the northeast and placed tha
American boat that distance dead to wind
ward, not half of which it had actually
earned. From that time Reliance galnel
steadily.
The ytcbts could now head within two
polnUi -of their course. They held the
tack for twenty minutes and then made
short hitches In which Reliance steadily
got the better of It. When off Long Beach
at 1:45, the defender waa two miles ahead,
having added the second mile by literally
outpointing the challenger and at the same
time maintaining equal speed. The mark
was then In plain view and the wind was
softening. After a long board of shore.
Rellsnce made seversl short hitches whlcli
brought It to the turn.
The challenger's cause was absolutely
hopelees when ths defender rounded the
mark, Tbe British beat waa mora laaa
