GUARDS SHOOTS FUGlTlvEs
FROM MACEDONIA.
1SlLKks BROTHER KILLED
Turkish Officials Subject Bulgarian
Residents to Torture-Sev-
eral Die.

London, Oct. 22.-The Morning
Leader publishes the following COM
munication dated Saturday October 10
from Sofia: "On the frontier near
G%rossbelovo yesterday five fugatives
from Baniska, Macedonia, among
them a brother of Nine. Tsilka, Miss
Stones companion, were shot dead
by Turkish frontier guards, while en-
d~eavoring to cross into Bulgarian ter
ritory.
Omitted States Consul General
Dickinson believing that they were
members of the American Mission
church has demanded an official in
quiry. Great brutality exists in the
district between Banika and the from
tier. Turkish officials have arrested
owe one hundred residents of Bulgar,
ian nationality and subjected them to
torture in order to wiring from them
information as to Miss Stones where
abouts. Several of them died under
torture.

ARE STILL
Department Officials Believe Miss
Stone Will Be Saved.

Washington, Oct. 22.-There has
been no report since Saturday at the
state department from Turkey or
Bulgaria touching Miss Stones case.
The officials are, however, by no
means discouraged and are still conf
dent that they will succeed in saving
her life, but whether by diplomacy
or force is not clear.
It is gathered that the friendship of
the Russian government has much to
do with the confidence of the officials
here. That government has responded
in the most cordial spirit to the ap-
peal Of the state department., which.
unable itself from geographical and
political reasons to exert pressure
upon the government or Bulgaria, has
availed itself of the powerful intlu-
ence of Russia OF that government.
The turkish government, has for
it's part, responded in the same spirit
to the appeal of the United States,
and altogether the two governments,
Turkey and Bulgaria, probably have
been put to a degree Of epense equal
to the amount of ransom demanded
by Miss Stones captors in the mill.
tary operations they have already di
rected in her interests.

EDWARD is BUSY.

Avoids Active Politics-Arranging for
Coronation Ceremony.
New York, Oct. 23.-The king is not
likely on his arrival in London to
adopt Captain Bowles' fantastic sug-
gestion and resume the exercises of
the royal privilege of presiding at a
cabinet council, says the Tribune's
London representative: The king will
not NEEDLE with the business of the
Salisbury ministry and thereby accept
political responsibility for the inefic.
iency of the government. His author
ity will be exerted silently and without
observation as was Queen V%ictoria's
before him.
The journey of the Duke Of Corn
wall and York, around the empire
while planned by Queen Victoria, was
sanctioned by the king. Now that it
is ending, it is regarded as the best
stroke of imperial politics Of the year
and the king receives full credit for
persisting in carrying it out at a time
when his sons absence involved the
practice.
The kings time will be occupied for
many weeks with the details of the
coronation which is distinctly a court
affair. Norfolk House, St. James
square, is already a clearing house for

HENRY WARDLAW sulciDED.
Discovery OF Wound by Undertaken
While Preparing Body for Burial.

Livingston, Oct. 22.-It is now
learned that Henry A. Wardlaw, the
Northern Pacific brakeman who was
found dead in his bed, committed sui
eide. The discovery was not made
until the undertaken was preparing
the body for burial, when it was found
that a bullet wound had caused his
death. The bullet entered his breast
just above the right nipple and was
taken out on the opposite side from
the entrance. 1t was fired from a So
calibre revolver, which was after
wards found under the bed. It was
at first supposed that Wardlaw had
died from natural causes, as not a
trace of blood was found upon his
shirt nor upon the bedclothes. No one
in the neighborhood heard the shot
fired. Mrs. Wardlaw and the children
were out for a walk when the deed
was done and they found Wardlaw
dead upon he bed upon their return.
They at first supposed he was asleep
as he was lying in a natural position
with nothing to indicate a violent
death.
At the coroner's inquest his wife
stated that he was in good health and
spirits and that she could give no
reason for the rash act. The coro-
ner's jury returned a verdict to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death from a gunshot wound infict-
ed by his own hand.

train and killed. His name was Geo

His death was accidental. After the
train pulled into the station the young
man alighted and did not attempt to
get on again until it started and was
going at a fairly good rate of speed.
He caught hold of a railing along
side of one of the Enclosed vestibules,
but in some way lost his footing and
fell under the coach. He lived only a
few minutes.

the robbers. l made nc response and
was given a salute with dynamite. The
first charge blew open one of the
doors and knocked me down. My over
alls we're blown into shreds and my
legs scratched somewhat but other
wise I was unhurt. Further commands
to open up and threats followed but
without avail. I made no reply know
ing that the object of the robbers was
to locate me in the car and then try
to put me out of the way either by
dynamite of bullets. I changed my
station to the other end of the car.
The second shot blew open the door
at the other end of the car. The third
shot failed to go off, as l had remov-
ed my shoes and quietly walked over
to the dynamite and detached the
fuse. Two more shots exploded, each
of them blowing a hole in the floor of
the car. All told, four shots went off,
two failed to explode and one I pre-
vented from exploding by removing
the fuse. All efforts to compel me to
open or leave the a failing, the en-

blown into the side. I ordered him to
get out, and fired a shot over his head
with my shotgun. The entire cere
mony lasted about 40 minutes. The
engineer retired after I fired the shot
and ordered him to leave, and I was
not molested further"

M'K!NZIE A RELIABLE MAN
Witnesses Say That Is the Opinion
the Judge Expressed Con-
corning Him.

Nome contempt case today Minnie j.
James, stenographer in the law firm
of Hubbard, Beeman & Hume testified
that Alexander Mckenzie was around
the offices of the firm every day. Up
on McKenzie's arrival in Nome she
said he had Mr.. Hume give orders for
a number of suits to be brought in
which Mckenzie was to be appointed
receiver. Three stenographers work
ed night and day, herself included
She said: mckenzie was rushing
work. AS soon as papers would be
completed Mckenzie would file them
and Judge Noyes would appoint him
receiver"
Samuel Knight, attorney, testified
that after learning that Mckenzie
had been appointed receiverof a CLAIM
on Anvil creek he called upon Judge
Noyes and presented papers to set
aside the appointment of the receiver,
asking that the matter be set down
for hearing. After some delay Judge
Moves decided adversely to him and
refused him an appeal. In the mean
time Mckenzie was receiver. Continu-
ing Knight said:

night of September IA, 1900, after
writs of s%upersedes had arrived from
the circuit court of appeals and asked
him for an order carrying into effect
the writ, but he refused saying that
the litigation had caused him much
worry. He said that his hands had
been tied by the United States circuit
court of appeals and that they would

"On the following evening I again
called upon Judge Noyes and repeated
my request for an order. He said:
I have seen Mckenzie and he is of
the opinion that the writs are void.
Your record shows undue haste and
l do not think you had the right to
appeal
"On September 10 l presented a
sweeping application for the restitution
of the gold dust, but this was denied
by Judge Moves and we were deprived
of the DUST" continued the witness,
until we took possession of it by
force in the early afternoon of October
49,"
Attorney Melton testified that in
July, 1900, he applied to Judge Noyes
for the removal of Mckenzie as re.

Judge Noyes would not do so,'
Melton said, "but on July "a, Judge
Noyes made order, at our request tc
allow owners of the claim to have
possession of their tents, Mckenzie
having taken charge of their personal
effects. Judge Noyes did grant the
order, but on the following day he
said: I have been imposed upon anG
l am going to tie you people so. thai
I will not be annoyed further
"Judge Noyes said that Mckenzie
was a personal friend of his, a man O.
