ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 24.-The Rus-
sisn government has Issued an official note
reiterating that the attitude of tho powers
la regard tu the Austro-Hungarlan reforms
scheme for Macedonia Is unchanged and
that chnaoquently neither Turkey nor Bui
gaiia can expect support from any quarter
In the event of the opttn or secret resist
ance, to that scheme.
The government, after pointing out that
the suggested regorms were at the outset
attended with good results, continues:
These, however, did not satisfy the Mace
dontan cimniUtieo which have sprung up
In the Slav states. The probability, which
had become apparent, tnat the Christian
jiopulalion would cairn down under the in
fluence of reforms auprlved these commit
tees of all the f ii vol a Die ground fur the
realization of their revolutionary plans.
While proclaiming that their object was
the ' protection of their co-religionists
Mgainst tne Turks oppression, these com
mil lees In reality seek to attain their seiush
alms of modifying the administrative
r-ystem of the provinoe so as to convert It
Into a Bulgarian Macedonia, to the detri
ment of the rights and privileges of the
other Christian people whose interest Is
equally dear to orthodox Kunla.

Saltan Sanctions Reforms.
SOFIA. Sept. 24. The diplomatic agents
f Russia and Austria-Hungary have in
formed the Bulgarian government that
they have been Instructed to communicate
that their govemmenta, in agreement with
other great powers, are resolved never to
Uepurt from the published program of re
forms In Macedonia, and that Bulgaria
must not count on any support for any
other purpose. The agents further an
nounced that the same declaration would
be made at Constantinople.
Tho Imperial Ottoman commissioner has
Informed the Bulgarian government that
tha sultan has promulgated an trade sanc
tioning tho program of reform which Is to
be carried out by a mixed commission, and
that he hus deputed 1111ml Pasha to su
perintend the work, with orders to suspend
the persecution of the Bulgarians. As no
Indication is given concerning the constitu
tion of the mixed commission, or as to am
nesty of political offenders, demanded by
Bulgaria, there Is no disposition here to
believe that the negotiations will be effec
tive. When the Turkish diplomatic agent
this morning communicated the sultan's
Irade to Premier Petroff the latter a re
ported to have answered that so long as
Turkey docs not withdraw its troops from
the frontier snd does not fulfil all Its prom
ise. Bulgaria is justified in believing that
Turkey Is talking merely for talking's sake.
The Sofia press refers to the Irade In simi
lar terms and declines to consider It seri
ously. According to unconfirmed reports the In
surgents have captured the town of Mclnlk,
sixty-five miles from Salotilcu. Severe
fighting la also reported from the nelghbor
liood of Nevrokop, while telegrams from
Burgas describe the pitiable condition of
the thousands of refugees who have arrived
there.
ttalet In Balaarla.
Notwithstanding the reports to the con
trary, perfect tranquillity, almost approach
ing apathy, prevails throughout Bulgaria.
There is not the slightest outward evidence
that the country is on the verge of war.
Kven in military circles there Is no excite
ment, though preparation Is going on. The
reports emanating from Turkish quarters
that the government is in danger of being
carried away by popular excitement mid
that Bulgaria Is likely to take the first hos
tile steps may be regarded as ridiculous in
ventions. It Is a fact, however, that all hope of good
results from the Turku i promises of refosm
have long ago disappeared and the feeling
Is growing that war Is the sole solution to
the problem, that the only question being
whether it will come this autumn or be
postponed until spring. The preparations
for the mobilisation of the Bulgarian army
iiave been carried out with completeness,
and a declaration of war will find the Bul
garians sufficiently prepared.

Vnlted States Minister Powell has made a
very vigorous reply to the Dominican for
eign minister on the question of the Domin

The Sala claim has been In dispute for
some years. Hala was a Frenchman who
loaned money ami supplied munitions of
war to late President Heureaux of the Do
minican republic about 1215.000 In all. The
Dominican government nt first recognized
the claim, but afterward contested It. Hala
died leaving his claim to his wife, who Is
an American. Minister Fowell was In
structed to endeavor to effect a settlement.
The International tribunal constituted to
consider the claim awarded the company
damages In the sum of $523,000. with Inter

the award void owing to certain Irregular!'
ties pointed out, which Secretary Hay re
fused to recognise. With the consent of
this government, however, a compromise
was affected on a basis of 67H per cent of
the amount awarded.

the stage front was a large ensign, in
the center of which hung a picture of the

were American flags, and at the back,
showing brightest on a red background,
were the Irish ensign and another green

It 'ItTLANl', tire., Sept. S4.--TI) Afsntic
express on the Oregon Railroad and Navi
gation linr, which left here at 8:15 o'clock
last night, was held up by four masked
men an hour later near Corbett station,
twenty-one miles cast of this city.
Otm of the robbers wss shot snd killed by
Express Mesn nger Fred Korner, snd En
gineer tilllc Itnrtvtt was seriously woundeci
by the sumo biilb-t. After tho shooting th
robbers fled without securing any booty.
Two of the highwaymen boarded the train
at Troutdale. a station eighteen miles east
of here, and after the train had got under
way they crswled over the tender and,
covering the engineer and tlremsn with re
volvers, told them to stop at mil post 21,
which Is near Corbett station.
When the train slowed down two more
men appeared. Two of the robbers com
pelled the engineer to get out of the cab
and accompany them to the express car,
while the others watched the tlremsn. The
men carried several stlrks of dynamite and
when they came to the baggage car, think
ing It was the express cur, threw a stick
at the door.
Express Messenger Open Fire.
Express Messenger Korner heard the ex
plosion and immediately secured his rifle
and opened lire Tho bullet pierced the
heart of one of the robbevs and went
through his body, entering the left breast
of Engineer Barrett, who was Just behind
him. Barrett's wound Is above the heart
and Is not necessarily fatal.
After the shooting tho other three rob
bers fled without securing any booty, and
It Is supposed they took to a boat which
they had moored at tho bunk of the river.
The point where the holdup occurred is on
the bank of the Columbia river and a pre
cipitous mountain Is on the other side of
the bnnk. The easiest route of escape Is by
the river. ,
The body of the dead robber was left
lying near the track and tho wounded en
gineer was brought to this city. '
Sheriff Storey and four deputy sheriffs
left on a siecial train for the scene of the
robbery at 12:46 a. m.
Th Oregon Railroad and Navigation com
pany offers a reward of 11.004 fur the ar
rest of tho highwaymen. '. . .'.'
Robber Are Amatenr.
It is believed that the robber are ama
teurs from the fact that they mistook the
baggage car for the express car. The door
of the car was badly shattered, but the
trucks were not detached, from the train.
Shortly after the special train bearing
the sheriff's posse arrived nt the scene of
the attempted holdup one of the gang of
outlaws waa found a short distance up the
track, badly wounded from a charge of
buckshot which ho hud received in the
head. He was placed on board the special
trnin.i which was turned around and headed
for Portland.
The bandit said his name was Connors of
Portland, but refused to make known th
names of any of the other bandlti or the
direction In which they went.
The bandit shot while attempting to hoi 1
up the Atlantic Expres last night wai
taken to the hospital today. It Is not te.
lleved that he can recover. One man U
reported uho to have been killed. Sheriff
Storey and a posse are still In the vicinity
of the holdup, but so far hav not secured
a clue to the direction taken by the ban
dits. Engineer Barrett, who was ac
cidentally shot, will recover unless b'ood
poisoning sets in.
