LONDON, Sept. 13. Rumuri come from
Vienna and -elsewhere regarding the
Balkan crtnla find whilst It Ik Impossible to
confirm tho more sensatlonsl ststcments,
there Is accumulation of evidence, that
some violent solution cannot long b de
layed. 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.

that so far nothing has come of the propo

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

explain this amblglous dealing.

the latter reported that there waa a strong

the question of war or no war depended

THINKS DUKE HAS DONE WELL
Klag Kdward Commends Raaraareraent
of Roxburgh to Mia '
Geelet.
(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.

The relations between Venezuela and Co

the obstacles placed In the way of the

BOGOTA. Sept. 13. A proposal made by

Speakers In the Senate said that Senor

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.

RUSSIA HAS NEW SCHEME

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.

live our father" were raised, while a band
played the papal march. 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."
The pontiff went on. to say that the work

finds In it a true pleasure, shedding sweet
ness about him.
"These words," continued Pope Tlus, "are
the flrst that 1 have addressed to the
Romans. Be satisfied with your condition,
provide education for your children and I
assure you In the name of the holy ghost
that the blessing of Ood, which I ao much
Invoke for you and your families, will be

The pope raised hie hand and gave his
benediction to the kneeling assemblage.

tonight that the Illegal coinage of minor
silver pieces has been carried on by con
victs In the big institution. No details of
the counterfeiting scheme can be learned
from any of the officials connected with the
prison or from the government effieers that
have been assigned to the case. The fact
that such a daring scheme had been car
ried on In the penitentiary was made pub
lic by George Vaux, Jr.. one of the prison
inspectors, who summoned 'newspaper men
to-hi iOOiinjif 'olWtli' tnada the dis-,

which Is as follows:
Dr. W. D. Robinson 'and Mr, .Vaux, Jr..
who are at preeent the visiting -inspectors
on duty at the eastern state penitentiary,
made the statement that there has come to
their official knowledge that within a hort
time sn attempt has been made by certain
convicts now confined In the penitentiary to
manufacture counterfeit silver coin. 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. Their investigation.
It Is learned, is still In progress, their prin
cipal object being to learn whether there
waa collusion between tne convicts and
employes of the Institution.

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.

BANQUET STIRS UP TROUBLE
Misunderstanding Creates Some 111
Feellng of eml-lnternatlnal
Character.
OTST1-.R HAY. X. V., Sept IS. An un
pleasant episode, with phase of Inter
na tlnr.nl Interest, has lieen the outgrowth
of a dinner to be given next Friday niclit
by the Se-tnn-ahakn-Corinthlun Yacht club, i
By (i series of misapprehensions mi th" I
psrt. seemingly, of some members of the
club, an nppnrent rllght has been put ou
Sir Thomas Llpton und President Roose- !
velt hns been placed In the attitude of
being discourteous to the British yatiits
man. The Senwanhaka-C'orintlilan Yacht
club has a spacious and beautiful home on
Center island. In Oyster bay. It Is one of
the most prominent yaiht clubs of the
country, being scarcely second to the New
York Yacht club. President Roosevelt Is
an active member of the organization, ns
are many of the best known yachtsmen of
the east, and Sir Thomas Llpton holds t;n
honorary membership In the club. 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.

pletely over tnd went down a twenty-five
foot embankment. The train, at the time

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-.,

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--.

' 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
