GRAVE TROUBLE IN MACEDONIA.
General Rising of the Christian Popu-
 ation is Being Planned.

London, March a.-In a letter from Athens published this morning in the Times the correspondent says there are many indications that grave trouble Is coming between Macedonia and Albany. There Is no doubt that M. Sarafoff, the chief of the Macedonian committee has planned a general rising of the Christian populations of European Turkey for the coming spring In spite of his failure to secure any support at Athens or Bel grade for his projects. M. Sarafoff is con- tinuing his preparations.
 The protests of the powers, writes the correspondent urged to action by the Greek circular, have resulted in Turkey making energetic military preparations in the face of which it is possible that M. Sarafoff will not venture to put his plans into execution. Still, owing to Rus sian machinations and the jealousies of the powers, continues the correspondent which prevent the execution of the re- forms stipulated in the Berlin treaty, the outlook Is disquieting.

PAULSoN REALLY DIED.
Report That Coffin Was Filled With
 Lead is False,

Helena, Mont, March 29.--Little doubt Is expressed here of the death five years ago of John c. Paulson, state architect, who committed suicide to escape possible conviction of accepting bribes Press dis patches sent from Butte tell of sensation al disclosures made in the trial of the case of Riddell against Ramsey, ac- tion to recover money alleged to be due on a contract for building. It is alleged that Paulson did not die but that his cof- fin was filled with lead and the authorities stated that his wife afterward took his body.
 The coroner of Leeds and Clark coun- ties visited the graveyard two days after Paulson's death five years ago, opened the coffin in the receiving vault and found that the body of the state architect was therein. This tep was taken to alley pub lie suspicion that he was not dead, but that he was feigning death to cheat the grand jury, then in session.

Gains Possession of Church After a
 Long Legal Fight.

Tecumseh, Neb., March 3o.-After a fight of four years in the ecclesiastical and civil courts for possession of church property Bishop Bonacum has won. The doors of St. Andrews Catholic church were opened to the public today for the first time since the trustees locked them in the face of the priest sent by the bishop to conduct services. Trustees were adherents of the Rev Father Murphy who had been removed by the bishop and they refused to allow his successor access either to the church or the parish home.
 The contest has resulted in a final triumph for the bishop and mass was celebrated today by priest of his selec tion. Father Murphy, who was transfer red from Tecumseh to Seward has since been excommunicated by the bishop.

NEW JERSEY LOSES s12,5oo.
Passage of Steel Trust Bill Cuts Off
 Considerable Revenue.

Trenton, N J., March 30.-The discov- cry has been made that the state of New Jersey will lose an annual revenue of s12,5oO by reason of the passage by the legislature last week of the bill per- hitting the United States steel corpora tion to convert It's preferred stock into bonds.
 Corporations chartered under the laws of New Jersey pay an annual tax on their issued capital srocK. This tax is graded and amounts to $5o per million on the $250, 900 of preferred stock which the steel corporation purposes convert ing into bonds. The corporation will not be obliged to pay any tax on the bond issue and the state, therefore, will lose this money. This point was probably overlooked at the time the bill was be- fore the legislature as no suggestion of the states revenue being involved was made by any of the members who oP- posed the measure.
