tacks IL there is no p ,rson at MOosh
to represent the powers there.
Additional reports received indicate
that the Moosh commission dissolved on
Friday, SO far as the work of the Eu-
ropean delegates is concerned. They
were compelled to tell the Turkish dele
gates that they could have nothing
more to do with them. From the first
the attitude Of the Turkish delegates
has been invariably and increasingly
dishonest. According to the statements
Of those interested in the workings Of
the commission, the representatives Of
the sultan have not manifested honor,
truth or decency. They have made no
efforts to determine the cause of the out
RACES In Armenia.
The rupture between the Turkish and
the European commission was caused by
the refusal of the Turks, on purely far
cical grounds, to hear important wit
nesses on matters pertaining to the
questions at issue. 1t was evident the
Turks were afraid the tissue of false
hoods that they have thrown around the
situation in Armenia would be broken
down.
the report of the Turks into question for
the purpose Of ascertaining whether the
high officials of any state claiming to
be civilized ever have taken the position
assumed by the Turks during the meet
ings of this commission. 1t Is only fair
to say that their every action has been
prompted and sanctioned, or ratified d.
rectly, by the highest authorities.

Boston Rescue League Says They Are

Boston, June S.-The Woman's Rescue
league has adopted resolutions Of timely
interest, that the bicycle woman and
ductive of "much harm and no real good
to the industrial and self-supporting
women, who create eighty per cent. Of
the wealth In all the light manufactur-
ing Industries In this country. These
women are entitled to political recogni-
tion by our law makers because they
help to create the wealth of the nation.
while the sporting woman, the man
nish woman and the bicycle woman
bring disgrace on the true woman
The league condemns bicycle riding
by young girls and women for these rea-
sons:
"Thirty per cent. of the girls who
have come to the rescue league were
bicycle riders at one time. 1t Is observed
that since the closing-up of the houses
of ill-repute In Boston the sporting girls
are taking to bicycle riding because
they can better ply their vocation on ac-
count Of the opportunities given as
cyclists"
An appeal is made to the prominent
clergy of the United States for the sup
preston of bicycle riding by young
girls because of the tendency to en-
courage immortality. The league further
condemns the coming "mannish wo-
man" as a creature entirely useless and
an unnecessary evil in this country.

q arsi. Silver Convention.

Atlanta, Ca, June 10.-The Bimetallic
League Of Spaulding county has issued
a call for a state convention Of silver
men to be held at Griffin on July 1S.
This is local league, but 1t is In active
hands and has a large membership.
The Constitution takes up the call to-
day and urges thorough organization
throughout the state and a large atten-
dance at the meeting. This Is regarded
as Indicating that the silver leaguers de-
cided upon Griffin as the place for the
convention and turned the manage
ment over to the local league.
The plan seems to be to have q rally
with Crisp, Governor Atkinson, Con-
gressmen Livingston, Maddox and
Moses, Senator Bacon, ex-senator
Walsh and other leaders as speakera

New York, June 1O.-The government
steamer Ordnance took cargo Of ex-
perts and others to the government prov
ing ground at Sandy Hook Saturday, and
an official test Of the Maxim machine
gun, which can be fired 600 times min
ute, was made. First Of all Mr.. Huber
fired fifty shots. The little feat occu-
pied 5 4-5 seconds.
This light gun Is used by the infan-
try, and 1t is important to learn how
quickly It can be taken from the pack
ing case and put into action. Expert
Huber hung 1t over his shoulder in
marching order. At a word from Cap
tain Heath he began to take out the
gun. He put 1t together. unpacked his
cartridges and fired his first shot So
seconds after the alarm was given. For
a third test duplicate set was put up
and the first shot fired in 90 % seconds.
The fourth test was changing barrels in
action. The time between the last shot
with the old barrel and the first with
the new was 1:12 2-5.

SHORT LINE RECEIVERS.
Judge Merritt At Salt Lake Appoints Tvs
Men to Handle tho Road.

Men to Handle tho Road.
Denver, June 10.-Word was received
In Denver this morning that Judge Mer-
ritt, had, on opening court to-day In
Salt Lake City, announced that he
would appoint two receivers for that
portion Of the Oregon Short Line oper-
ating in Utah. The announcement had
been foreshadowed and the attorneys of
the American Loan and Trust company
are quoted as saying that the company
would not accept such a condition OF ar
fairs, and what the next movement
will be cannot be ascertained.
Nearly one-half of the system lies In
Utah territory and, as headquarters
would be naturally at Salt Lake, such q
position would be exceedingly embar-
RAISING to the receiver representing the
loan company, as 1t Is likely the two re-
celvers could not come together on any
proposition.
The court appointed w. H. Bancroft,
superintendent of that division Of the
Union Pacific, and John NJ. Egan. II
the court insists upon his action, the
matter will probably be dropped by the
loan company, for the plan was to get
control Of the entire system and with
out 1t the company would be pOwerless
to carry out It's plans.
The action of the court is very much
of surprise to Denver railway men,
while others who are in sympathy with
the Union Pacific commend the hard
fight that has been made to retain the
Short Line. The court orders that the
loan company shall pay all interest due
by July 1, or forfeit the line to the Un-
Ion Pacific receivers.

company. The fire fighters are working
hard to keep it from burning Several
buildings are burned on the street run
ming north from the Crawford house,

reel to the relief of the burning town of
Cameron jumped the track near Ros-
by's Rock at 1:45 this morning and

Monument, Colo, June TO- Great ex-
element prevailed here last evening
and grave fears are expressed as to the
safety of the state reservoir Mt MOnu-
ment. Heretofore the dam has been
considered strong enough to Withstand
the pressure Of the immense body OF
water back of It..
The recent rains have filled the reser-
voir to Its utmost capacity and late this
afternoon the bank on the lower side
was discovered to be caving badly.
Water Is seeping through to that extent
that the earth is constantly breaking
away. A year ago fears were entertain
ed that the dam would go out, that be-
ing the first severe test since the reser-
voir was built.
People living below here along the
creek bottoms have been notified Of the
dangerous condition Of the dam.

Asylum Inmates.
Berlin, June 1O.-In reference to the
sensation caused by the revelation re-
garding the barbarous treatment Of
lunatic inmates of the monastery Of
Marianberg, made during the trial of a
suit for slander brought against Her
rem Malage, an inn-keeper of Scharre,
and Warnatzea, newspaper man who
published brochure exposing the meth
DDS of the monks whose actions became
known on the escape of the Scotch
priest, Father Forbes, 1t is announced
that Prince HOhenlohe has ordered a
searching inquiry to be made.
1t has been charged by witnesses dur
ing the trial that the monks inflicted
cruel personal punishment upon the in
mates of the asylum. The entire press,
Catholic organs included. condemn the
authorities of the asylum, and 1t Is
probable that the trial will lead to n
revision of the laws regulating private
institutions of this character.

Berlin, June 10.-Russia's action in
the matter of the guarantee of the Chi
nese loan is regarded as partaking Of
disloyalty towards Germany. and is the
more keenly felt by the German gov
ernment because 1t is believed by EN-
peror William and his ministers that
Russia has every reason to be thankful
for the cooperation of Germany when
Russia interposed objections against
the permanent occupation of the Liao
Tung peninsula by the Japanese.
The German government, as well as
the financiers of Berlin, declare that If
they had touched any loan issued under
such one-sided conditions, 1t would have
caused marked irritation here. The
Borse Courier expresses the fear it will
tend to create tension between the
powers.

Story of a Cannon Ball.

DR.. A. J. Speer owns Revolutionary
relic in the shape of a cannon ball, and as
there is bit of history connected with it,
will, mention it. It was ploughed up
in 1858 by darkey, near the junction of
Savannah and Rocky Rivers, and given
by him to its present owner. During the
aforementioned war, a block house was
built at Cherokee Ford on Savannah
River. and fort was built few miles
above on Rocky River called Fort In
dependence. The blockhouse was MANN
ed by g force of about eight hundred men
under Col. Pickens. A force of several
hundred tories (under Col. Brown) had
been for some time devastating the
country above. For while Col. Pickens
had heard nothing from Col. Brown. He
accordingly took about half of the force
at the block house, and went out to see II
he could find out what had become of the
tory force. While he was away Col.
Brown set fire to and burned Fort 1nde-
pendence, and suddenly appeared before
the block house and demanded its sur
render. Major Anderson, who had been
left in command of the Block house dur
ing Col. Pickens' absence, had, buta short
time before from some cause, sent his
only cannon across Savannah River into
Georgia. He asked for two hours to re-
ply, then hastily sent for his cannon, got
it back, anG his reply at the end of the
two hours was shot from the cannon.
The battle then began in earnest. The
tories, repuased with considerable loss,
ratreated into Georgia and were pursued
by Gil. Pickens who had returned tn the
Block House. They were overtaB5n end
completely routed. This ball is one Of
thuse used ir The fight at the Block House.
