 LONDON, Aug. l9.-The Times prints dispatch from Sofia confirming the report of the attack by 800 Bulgarians on the Mohammedan village of Dospal, across the Turkish frontier. The later reports received show that 300 houses were burned and l,4oO persons killed. A dynamite bomb was thrown from a mosque into a crowd pf ~efugees. The village lies in the widest recesses of the Rhodope mountains, southeast of Batak. It is inhabited by Mohammedan Bulgari- ans, brave and warlike fanatics, who hate the Christian Bulgarians more than the Turks, and are therefore likely to take terrible revenge. It is believed that the attack was arranged by the Macedonian com mittee in order to provoke fresh atroci. ties and thus incense Europe against Turkey,

NATIONAL BANK STATEMENT.
Interesting Statistics from the Last Report

Interesting Statistics from the Last Report
 ot the Currency Comptroller.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. l9.-The comp troller of the currency has compiled an aggregate statement of the condi- ton of the 3,7l5 national banks in the United States as result of replies made to his call for statement of con- ditions of the banks on the 11th day of July last. The statement issued shows more than anything else mid summer inactivity. There is less money out of the banks and more money lying idle in their coffers.
 The individual deposits on hand amount to SlOO, 900, 900 more than was shown by the statement of Nay 2. It is interesting to note also that the gold coin on hand in July was only S117,- poo, 900, as against Sl23, 900, 900 in May. This shows that some of the national bank gold has gone abroad and some has probably gone to the bond syndi- cate to replenish the treasury gold re- serve. As many of the leadiug national banks throughout the country are members of the bond syndicate the fact that these banks still have Sll7,- poo, 900 gold on hand is in small way indicative of the ability of the syndi- cate to obtain gold. As is usually the case the silver stock on hand is abso- lutely immovable. Nobody wants it, nobody will take it and banks keep it stored away. In May the amount of silver in the banks was SIP, 900, 900, and it was still SIP, GOO, 900 in July.

THE typesetting machine invented by Father Calendoli, a Sicilian monk, is an advance on all other similar ma, chimes in speed and ease of manipula. tion. It is said to set in an hour an amount representing the work for an equal period of twenty compositors or of seven of the machines in common use. Its cardinal principles of differ. ence from other machines is in the use of the octave and chord system of the piano, whereby by a single movement of the hand an entire word may be put in type in the time formerly used for setting single letter.

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat says; The recent victories of the insurgents give the Cuban situation new inter- est to the people of the United States. There is no longer any doubt that the insurgent cause is steadily growing stronger It is easy to discern that the Spaniards are losing ground and losing heart. If Cuba is to cut loose from Spain it must be annexed tothe United States. That is the feeling of this country. A few more successes by the insurgents will make Cuban recogni' tion, and ultimately Cuban annexation, practical questions in the United States.

CONNECTICUT is trying a new thing in the way of legislation against the sale of liquor on Sunday. Hitherto the penalties have always been in. flicted solely upon the seller. A law which went into effect at the beginning of August subjects the buyer also tc punishment The result is that, when the police make a raid upon saloon that is breaking the Sunday law, they take into custody not only the bar. keeper, but also the patrons whom he is serving. This is a novel experiment., and its workings will be watched with interest

Some wheels are thrown together, but
Victor bicycles are not built that way.
Many others are though. Scientific

that no rider ever buys a cheap wheel
