The SofU c3rre.ipon.1ent of Ihc Dully Telegraph rends under Situr-lay's date another Ion dispatch warmly de fending Bulgaria's patient and quixotic at titude of loyalty toward the porte and the powers and denouncing Europe's Indiffer ence to the wiping out of a large Christian community. He Bay: "Bulgaria has displayed unexampled moderation. Its last urgent request to the powers was that they should c impel Turkey to suppress the rising by legiti mate methods of warfare, but to spare women and children front Indlgnltlet and massacres. But even this Chr.stlan Europe lias refused and Prince Ferdlnan V g iv ernment haying fully considered the ques tion and a ware of the disastrous conse quences with which the powers threaten Bulgaria If It Intervenes, has rieelded that it cannot longer neglect Us sicred 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 Its duty. An official communication will be made to the powers In the above Indicated rense and forthwith the necessary measures will ba taken and only countermanded If the powers Immediately Intervene, This is Bulgaria's last ward. The moral responsi bility will fall upon Christian Europe even If the material consequences have to lie endured by Bulgaria." Large Force Collected. A dispatch from Constantinople to the Standard says large forces are being col lected to the north and northwest of Con stantinople, where in the event of war the first lighting la expected to occur, and though allusions to any plan of campaign Is strictly censured. It may be assumed that German advlca during recent years had not left Turkey unprepared this time.

The Neues Fester Journal, often well ln formed, accuses Russia of openly assisting the Macedonian revolutionists, even sending them arms. Its object being gradually to exclude Austria from Influence In Balkan affairs.'- The paper even alleges that the Austrian government hns asked Count ,',.medorfT, the Russian foreign minister, to explain this amblglous dealing. The Morning Post's correspondent, who is traveling in Macedonia, writes from Klrk klllsse and Artanople declaring that the accounts of massacre and pillage spreud by the revolutionists have been greatly ex aggerated, but, Ihe writer confesses.

The Monastlr corrtpponiwnt of the Dally Mai) ha had an Interview with the com mander of the vilayet Naslr Pasha, In which the latter asserted that the rising waa absolutely suppressed, lie admitted the truth of the burnings and atrocities, but accused the Bulgarian Insurgent of com mitting them. AtUepatoh from Salonlca. dated Saturday, reports a fresh discovery of explosives at the office of a Bulgarian, who was arrested, but afterwards liberated, at the time of the last explosion. It is reported from Constantinople that no foreign military atlachea have gone to Monastlr, but -another American warship, presumably Machlaa, haa arrived at Bey. root. The correspondent of tae Tlmea at Sofia a): "It would be vary Inadvisable for the powers to address admonitions to Bulgaria at the preeent moment, because It would strengthen, on the eve of the elections, the handa of the opposition party, which la trying to foment a bellicose agitation tn order t overthrow the present government The Infliction of a needless humiliation upon the government, which was endeav oring to convince tha nation of the folly of an adventurous policy, would be merely playing into the handa of the war party." Servla May Mil la. " The Dally Mail's correspondent at Sofia, In a dispatch dated September t. ee.ids an Interview he had with Tartaracheff, the chief of the revolutionary committee. In which the latter reported that there waa a strong probability of Servla throwing In It lot with Bulgaria against Turkey, and that the question of war or no war depended mainly on Servla. Tartsrseheff declined to commit himself to details, but admitted that ' negotiations were proceeding between his committee and Servla. and also that the Servian committee aent scouts to Join the revolutionist In Bulgaria In order to report the latter'a program.

(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Sept. li. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) When King Kdward heard of the duke of Rox burghe's engagement to Miss May Goelet, he said: "Well done, Roxburghe." The king regards all such marriages with high approval, being painfully aware from the duke's experience that English society needs money more than anything to keep It alive. The match was tha prime topic of discussion at the Doncaster race, where smart society foregathered for the first time since the London season ended, and there was much speculation as to whether the new duchess would be a serious com petitor for social laurels with the other American duchesses, of whom Consuelo, duchess of Manchester, is the greatest power. The duke of Roxburghe will take a big T union house, as he now rents only an Insignificant little box In Chesterfield street. Owing to the attenuation of his income by depreciation of agricultural land, heavy expenses In maintaining his estates and providing Jointures for his mother and sisters, he has been obliged to live very quietly. He Intends now to go In for politics, giving up the army. The new duchess will start with a big social pull, not only by reason of her husband'a position, but because she Is con nected with the great Buccleuch-Durham-Abercorn clan, and on her husband'a aide with the Churchill family In all Its Im portant ramifications, while the dowager duchess of Roxburghe has great Influence at court and particularly with the queen. It only needs ambition on the part of the new duchess, backed by everything that wealth, rank and connections can give, to make her one of the moit Important social personages In England. When aha cornea to London she will command more royalties for her parties than any other duchess, aa her husband has mora friends in royal circles than any of his ducal rivals.

From every section of Veneiuela troops ware sent last week In the direction of the Colombian frontier and toward Maracaibo. Mauser rifles, artillery and ammunition In great quantity have been stored at Mara caibo and several new bridges have been built toward San Cristobal, near the fron tier of Colombia, ' to allow of the rapid concentration of troops. President Castro has asked the president of each state for two battalions within two weeke. A leading Vcnexuelan cltlsen. In an inter view regarding those military movements In Venezuela, said he believed they were only precautionary measures regarding Co lombia, which, now the country is free from revolution, has reinforced recently Its army on the Venezuelan frontier, near Cucuta. Other Venezuelans say a Venez uelan war with Colombia Is Inevitable In the near future, as a consequence of the rympathy President Castro extended to the Colombian rebels during the, recent re bellion because of the question of naviga tion on the Orinoco. President Castro's great Idea, they say. Is a w-ar with Co lombia. Venesuela Refuses to Pay. PORT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad. Sept. 13. Rrltlsh government officials who have returned here from Caracas report that the Venezuelan government has re fused up to now to pay Us share of the fees of the foreign umpires In the matter of the claims against Venezuela, amounting to 15,000 and their expenses. The conduct of President Castro In such circumstances la Inexplicable. It la un derstood that several of the foreign umpires have referred the matter to their gov ernments, suggesting that Washington should Interfere a being. In their view, morally responsible for the Venezuelan gov ernment. . The relations between Venezuela and Co lombia have, been exceedingly strained since Presld-mt Castro lent active help to General Urlbe Urlbe and other Colom bian revolutionists during the last rebel lion. A Bogota dispatch September 6 said the obstacles placed In the way of the transport by way of Maracaibo, Veneuzelu, of exports and imports to Santunder prov ince, Colombia, by President Castro, were ruining and exasperating the merchants of Santander to such an extent that the Colombian congress was discussing a bill authorizing the executive to build a rail road from Bacaramanga or Cucuta to the Magdalena river aa the only solution, less costly than war with Venezuela. President Castro of the Colombian senate recently affirmed that the attitude of General Val encia, commander of the forces in (San tander , province, toward Yenexuela , made a rupture with the latter country immi nent. . COLOMBIA IS IN FERMENT Fears that lath ns of Paaama May Seeede from Confederation of States. BOGOTA. Sept. 13. A proposal made by Senor Perez y Sotos to the executive to appoint an anti-cessionlst governor In Pan ama had been approved by tho Senate. Speakers In the Senate said that Senor Abaldla, who waa recently appointed gov ernor of Panama and who is favorable to a canal treaty la a danger for the national integrity. Senor Marroquln. protested agalst the action of the Senate. President Marroquln succeeded later In calming the congressmen. It appears that he was able to give them satisfactory reasons for Governor Abaldla's appoint ment. The Bogota government appears to real ise tho imminent peril of the Isthmus of Panama 'declaring Its Independence. Senor Deroux, representative for a Panama con stituency, recently delivered a sensational speech In the house. Among other thing he said: In Panama the bishops, governors, magis trates, military chiefs and their subordi nates have been and are foreign to the de partment. It seems that the government with surprising tenacity wishes to exclude the Isthmus from all participation In pub lic affairs. As regards Internal dangers in the Isthmus all 1 can say Is that If these dangers exlt they are due to the conduct of the national government which Is In the direction of reaction. If the Colombian government will not listen to the indica tions made with a view to preventing dis aster the responsibility will rest with It alone. Not a native of Panama is obeying the reactionary laws. The bill dealing with the settlement of foreign claims arising out of the revolution has met with no opposition In the legisla ture. It seems that congress after the recent political discussions has lost all energy and haa entirely forgotten Panama canal matters. PANAMA. Sept. IJ.-Rodolfe Aguillern, the first newspaper man to publish articles in favor of tha secession of the isthmus of Panama, Is to be prosecuted. It is cur rently reported that 0u0 federal troops are coming to the isthmus. RUSSIA HAS NEW SCHEME Will F-vaeaate Chinese Provinces ky Degrees and' Tries to ' Uet Trade Conceeslon. PEKING, Saturday. Sept. 11 (De layed in, Transmission.) Russia ' has pre sented the Chinese government a new scheme for evacuation, originally fixed for October S. proposing certain new conditions In addition to most of the conditions In cluded in the last scheme. Russia now proposes to evacuate New Chwang and Mukden province, October S, Klrin province four mouths later and the third province a year later. Among the new conditions, Russia says, it shall main tain military posts on the roads from Tslt slhar. capital of Mel Lung Klang, to Blag ovestschensk. and on the Sungarl river. The reason Russia gives for maintaining these posts Is that they are necessary to protect the commerce of the railroad. There 1 a vaguely worded clause prohibiting heavy duties on goods transported by the railway, which the diplomats construe as exempting Russian goods transported on the railway from the surtax which the British, Japanese and American treaties provide for the llkln duties. The scheme also contains a provision that Chinese troops shall protect the branches of the Russo-Chlnese bank when necessary. Prince Chlng. president of the Foreign board, haa Informed the ministers that he considers the Russian conditions to ' be very reasonable. POPE SPEAKS TO THE ROMANS Large Ximkrr, neatly Wnrklagmru.

The pope rose, drew near to the steps of the portico, and, rnlting his hand for bllene, said: "This demons! ration- of reverence and affection touches me. not because It Is addressed to my person, but because It Is addressed to Him whom I represent, Christ. It Is an index to the faith animating your heart 1 am all the more pleased because the majority of you are workingmen, for Christ Is the advocate of the workingmen, and the latter are faithful to Him."

But a few pieces were made and a number of these have come Into the possession of the Inspectors, together with the metals and chemicals used, the sttempt thus being nipped In the bud. The evidence In thfl case Is not vet complete, but all that has been secured has been submitted to the I nited States authorities. Mr. Vaux refused absolutely to give any more details than contained In his state ment. From other sources, however, It was learned that dimes, qtiartcrs and half dollars were the coins manufactured. , The discovery was made several days ago and United States secret service officials were immediately called In.

REPUBLICANS AND CLERICALS CLASH Peasants of Brittany Gather and Presence of Troope Only Averts Serlona . right Between Contending Faetlona. PARIS. Sept. 13. On the occasion of the unveiling of a memorial to Ernest Rensn, the historian and orientalist, at his native town of Treguler. Brittany, today, sme demonstrations were made against Premier' Combes In the villages through which his carriage passed on the way to Treguler from Portrieux. HKaes and shots of "aba. Combes," and "viva la liberie," were railed by the peasants. At the ceremony, at which speeches were delivered by the author, Anatole France and others, Premier Combes, In expressing his thanks for the excellent reception given him at the function, said: I heard a few hisses. Let mo compare them to the melodies played on the flute, behind the conqueror's chariot In olden times to remind them, that rslel by the people, they must govern by the people. During the delivery of the speeches the antagonists of Premier Combes became so threatening, trying to force the barrier and shouting denunciations of the mayor of Treguler, that the police and authorities, being unable to restore order, a detachment of troops was ordered oiit. The soldiers forced the hostile crowd back and restored quiet. The premier was accompanied by Senor Chaumle, minister of public Instruction, who delivered an eulogy of Renan, and many republican deputies for Brittany. The memorial took the form of a bronze atatue, representing Renan seated In a characteristic attitude, while behind stands a glided figure of Minerva holding up a sprig of laurel. Along the decorations around the statue were ornamental mot toes Inscribed "Vive Renan." "Long Live Free Thought," etc., which psrtlcularly. In censed the Csthollcs. The latter arranged for an expiatory service In Treguler ca thedral to tske place at the same hour aa the unveiling of the statue, with the par ticipation of Abbe Qayraud and other cler ical deputies. Clerics Organise Demonstration. The clerical party had thoroughly organ ized Its demonstration, and the peasants from tha surrounding villages assembled at Treguler, armed with cudgels, accom panied by their women folk clad In the pic turesque costumes of Brittany. Some of the bands were headed by the pariah priests. The . republican villagers rlso gathered at Treguler and along the route taken by the premier, and the hostile parties raised cries and counter cries. During the ceremony of the unveiling the clericals did their best to drown the voices of the speakers with shouts of "Down with Renan," "Down with Combes," etc., to which the republicans re plied with equally noisy vociferations. The presence of a strong force of troops prevented a free fight between the rival factions. Another demonstration and counter-demonstration took place when Premier Oomwif -visited the- house in which Renan was born,' and during the disorder Baroness Kerpodson waa hustled by the crowd. An antl-clerlcal who drew hla re volver waa -'arrested, while the husband of the baroneaa waa roughly handled. Predicts Change of Sentiment. A banquet . of 2.000 "blues," as the re publicans are called In Brittany, followed the unveiling exercises, at which Premier Combes, in the course of a long speech. predicted that the time waa not diatant when the peasants of Brittany would shake off' the yoke of the clergy. He defended the policy of the' government,' sayfng hs had only to recall the history of the lsst few months In order to demonstrate that the clergy' had persistently violated the Maw, supported the unauthorized congrega tions In their rebellion against yhe civil au thority and stirred up the population to re ligious war. SHERIFF GETS HIS MAN ew Officials of Arlaona Would Arrest Knergetlc Texan for Kid. TOMBSTONE, , Ariz,, Sept. 13.

The Senwanhaka-C'orintlilan Yacht club has a spacious and beautiful home on Center island. In Oyster bay.

When President Roosevelt returned from his- trip to Syracuse Colgate Hoyt. chairman of tho board of trustees of the Seunwshska-Co-rlnthian Yacht club, called on him at Saga more Hill. On behalf of the club he tend ered the president an Invitation to attend the annual dinner of the organization next Friday night. With expressions of appreciation of the courtesy shown him by the Imitation the president Informed Mr. Hoyt that he felt obliged to decline, aa he hsd declined many other similar Invitations, and felt that it would not be fair to his friends to accept. Mr. Hoyt was Insistent, however, that he should attend the dinner and the president, after being assured that It was to be purely n "neighborly" affair, consented to be present for a short time. II expressly stipulated that It was not to be a formal function to be attended by guests outside of the club. Mr. Hoyt readily acquiesced In the president's suggestion. Subsequently Loeb, having learned that Sir Thomas Lipton and members of his party now sojourning In the United States probably would be guests st the dinner, inquired cf Mr. Hoyt If they were to be In attendance. He told Mr. Hoyt that under the agreement made that If there were to be other guests the president would feet obliged to decline the Invitation extended them, not because of the personality of the guests,, but because he was forced to de cline public invitations at this time.

TURKISH SITUATION A DELICATE 0HI Problems Involving Isthmian Canst Have Hmnlrcd Much Attention nnd lleiult Still In Doubt. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. (Special. ) - At, this season of the year the State depart ment Is usually tho most restful branch i,f the federal government. Members of tho diplomatic corps are almost Invariably ab sent from Washington during the month of September, many of th clerks nnd officials under the secretary of state are sway on their vacations and even the Ameilcstv consular snd diplomatic representatives sbrond have little to report to the hnrna government. Rut this year. lUfW, Is a marked exception to the rule. At no time since the foundation of the government have the officials of the State department been so rushed through ferelgn complications ns, they are today. These foreign affairs are by tin mesne trivial: on tne contrary, some of them are of the gravest importance and each and every one will have an important bearing upon the political or commercial future of this country. In the first place the Department of State Is In constant communication with the United States commissioners who are now In London t attempting to bring about . h satisfactory settlement of the dispute be t ween the United States and Great Brltsln over the Alaskan boundary line. Thus far In tha diplomatic battle the American com missioners have won the first skirmish. Of course every American believes that the contention of this country relative to (he sinuosities of the coast line is the correct ono and the difference between believing the statement and proving the facts Is the point in controversy. Mr. Hay was neverely criticised- for recommending that congress authorise the appointment of a commission, but the secretary of state Is so thoroughly convinced that the American claims enn be substantiated beyond question that he feels that a daiislnn by a competent com. mission upon these lines w:!l not only p -vent sny rupture of the ftlenflly rtlttloii between the two governments, but will s-; -tie for all time the txnet line of imnr.-i. tlon between the former Ruvsiat imti I s In America and the British North wet leri-1-., lory. n no other moans could uetlle IL Til gravity of the situation nrtfte from th fct that should tha-AirU-rkin t mui;jl)!ie-i be unable to convince tht Ir (johVafftt. til t the American , claims are well r-j-.i'icV'' ii- .v result Is certain to be an cnen r'm'i;-.) which may eventually lead to srrlo'js h't--. tllltles. ' Pressing for Open DtMr While little haa been heard lately 'of the Iftanchurlan affair,, the-secrftary of st.Me la- In constant communication'' with n- American ministers In Toklo. Pcklim. S . Petersburg, Ixindon and lieiitn regur-l'n.f the American demand for nn . ;.) '" -' policy for the province of U-iiH.tinrl i. While the American diplomats have ben In a measure auccessful, they have not yet secured all that the, recretary .Insists should be granted In the way of trad? facilities in the province. Still there Is reazon to hope that these efforts will be so nucccssfut as to assure an enormous extension of American cbmmerce, not only In the Chinese province, but through the whole of northeastern Asia. From every aectlon of the country manufacturers are showing a disposition to acquire a wider knowledge of trade prospects throughout that vast and little known section of the earth, and the secretary of state'a work will have been well done If through Ms efforts Siberia and Manchuria are grid Ironed with .American, rails and the lands cultivated with American agricultural machinery, while the' crops are harvested by American mowers, reapers, binders and headers. The success which has thus fur crowned the efforts of American drummers to Introduce these goods, as well as In smaller degree textile produces and 'other products, Jeads to the belief thit Ihe open door policy, for China will rtsult In the export Of hundreds of millions of doil jn worth of . the products of American fac tories to the country which has bten al ways terra Incognita to the American man ufacturer. With the growing trade between the United States and the countries be yond the Pacific tho prospect for Amerlc i:i shipping Interests brightens, and the east ern policy of thla country, which was In augurated on tha first day of 'May. 1SS. when Dewey sailed past Corregidor Island into Manila bay, may bring about the re habilitation of the American merchant marine for which American statesmen have worked so peralstently since the close of the civil war. Canal Is Yet la Doubt. The laatest advices from Bogota concern ing tho prospects of a treaty between Colombia and the United State In refer ence to the canal across the Isthmus of Panama are conflicting In the extreme. The most reliable Information still bears out the statement frequently made In these dis patches that It Is money that Is at the bottom of all tho trouble. The Colombian government demands nearly twice an much for the concession as the original agree ment called for and It Is suggested, accord ing to tha dispatches, that tho Unite') States pay to the French company eom ten millions more than thai company orig inally usked f-r Ita rights and prlVJleg-M This lattsr demand Indicates quite clearly that "the nigger In the fence" Is the French company, which Is alleged to hsvo received, a better offer from F.uroper.n cap italists than the United States was pre pared to make. Secretary Hay is busily en gaged upon the draft of a new treaty, hut the American and Colombian governtoe:Us gre thus far very wide apart and It Is an open question whether or not the efforts to reach an understanding will be settled before the time for the regular meeting of congress. The original Idea of an extra session of congress In November was based upon the supposition that legislation would be ne'e eawiry to put Into effect the Colombian treaty and the treaty between this coun try snd Cuba. The delay In Colombia may result In deciding tho prenldent not' tn call congress together, as he intended, although It is very In-portant to the Cubans that congress she uld - act upon their treaty early In order that , their planter feajr 1 v.
