THE EASTERN iMBROGLIO.

Diplomacy and Events Running Race In
tho Solution of the Problem Presented
BY the Roumelian Revolutlon-The Porte
at the Mercy of a Powerful Combination.
LONDON, September 27.-Diplomacy
moves fast in the Roumelian business,
but events move faster. Bismarck's call
for convention is flashed through wires
hardened with echoes Of armed le-
gions on the march. Salisbury's note to
the powers is answered by fighting be-
tween Turks and Roumelians. Blood Is
shed on the frontiers and in the streets OF
Roumelia. The borders Of every ark
ish province resound with the clash OF
Christian arms. The holy war Is preached
again in the highways and byways OF
Russia, and yet everyone hopes for peace.
The Porte is powerless before SO over
whelming q combination Of foes. The
time for crushing the rising, If 1t was to
be crushed, has gone. A strong Turk
ish division launched in Philippopolis on
the morrow OF the revolt might have
made short work Of the Princes deep
laid plans, but the Porte was caught nap
ping and lost the chance. Rou-
mella now Is one out Of many to be reck-
oned with. Behind the lost province
and Bulgaria, Albania and Macedonia are
Montenegro, Servia, Greece, Austria,
Russia--all eager to let slip the dogs of
war The Porte had better let we'll
enough alone and recognize accomplished
facts. If Bismarck and Salisbury can
induce the powers to compel the recog-
milton OF the Calph's nominal rights over
Roumella and throttle further risings for
the present, the Sultan may bless his
stars at being let of SO cheaply. 1t will
be no easy thing now to quiet the war
like spirit aroused on the Turkish from
tier and postpone the inevitable dismem-
berment of European Turkey and the
absorption of the remaining provinces
by neighboriug Christian nations. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the great
powers are willing to do 1t, aud whether,
being willing, they are able.

INDIAN TREACHERY.
A United states Surveyor Thrown From
Preciplce and Killed.

A United states Surveyor Thrown From
Preciplce and Killed.
PORTLAND, ORE, September PA
few days ago well.known United States
Surveyor named James Harrington,
while out running lines through the
mountains in Skagt County, Washington
Territory, assisted by party of Indians,
was reported to have been killed BY acci-
dent. The Indians claimed he fell over
a perpendicular bluff several hun.
bred feet high, that overhung
the Sank River, and was dashed
to pieces. Search was made by par.
ty Of white men at the spot pointed out,
but not the slightest trace was ever
found of the body. Suspicious 'clrcum-
stances were connected with Harring-
toms sudden disappearance, and the au-
thorities made a careful Investigation.
1t is now conceded by all that he met q
dreadful fate through the treachery Of
two Indian guides, who were with him
al the time OF his death. 1t is told
among the Indians that the two
guides watched, took him of his
guard, then seized, threw him over
prccipice, ami In the desperate
struggle TO save himself he came near
dragging one of his assallauts with him.
The two Indians were openly accused OF
the deed by their comrades, and did
not deny their guilt The murd erers
have suddenly disappeared and can not
be found. The motive for the fearful
deed is supposed TO be cupidity. The
authorities are determined to ferret out
the mysterious murder, and bring the
perpetrators to prompt punishment.

charge of the Washington headquarters
of the North, Central & South American
Exposition, which opens in New Orleans
on November 10th, and who is also in
charge Of the especial days" celebra-
tions, which will be conspicuous feature
of the Exposition, Is much elatcd at Its
rapid strides in popularity aud magnitude.
He predicts that it will be the most re-
markable Exposition known to American
commercial history, and that 1t Will
create trade revolution which will Sc
cure the lions share of the Spanish
American markets for the surplus manu-
features of the United States. Among
the recent evidences Of the immense pro-
portions 1t is assuming, he mentions the
following applications for spaces
From the city Of Chicago, an applica-
ton for 43, 900 square feet.
From the State OF Missouri, $4,000
sqdafe feet.
From Ohio, 5000 square feet.

feet, which will contain an exhibit OF un-
usual attraction.
From Great Britain, an application for
20, 900 square feet.
For ati exhibit OF Bohemian glassware,
5000 square feet.
For machinery exhibits, enormous
applications from various sources.
These are illustrations OF the progress
the Exposition is making. The Exposl-
tiou neither asks or expects financial aid
from the general Government being lib
erally supported by the Illinois Central
Railroad, the Louisville & Nashville. Mr..
Puiman, of Chicago, and the merchants
and bankers of New Orleans. The re-
yised list Of special days-thirty-six In
number-just announced, insures large
attendance and liberal supply OF gate
money.

a word, sat down on the window sill
facing Clark avenue, put his revolver to
his right temple and fired. He fell to the
ground In pool of blood and died in
