That Order Granted in the Univer-
sal Tobacco Company Cnse.
New York, Sept. S.-The hearing in
the Universal Tobacco Campony case
was continued before Vice Chancellor
Pitney in Jersey City to-day. The
hearing was on a motion to show cause
why a receiver should not be appoint
ed for the company, and why a pre-
ferred bond issue of $1.000000 should
not be restrained.
Julian F. Dawes spoke for the Pc
titioners, and former Judge Gilbert
Collins also argued in support of the
motion. Attorney General Roberts Nc
Carter and Wheeler H. Peckham OPP
posed the motion.
Vice Chancellor Pitney said that 1t
compliments were allied with the to-
bacco trust. but proof of this had not
been given. There was the mere allega-
ton that they were acting for the to-
bacco trust.
Vice Chancellor Pitney decided that
the compliments must be allowed to
investigate the books and accounts of
the Universal Tobacco Company, and
said he would make an order to that
effect.

THOUSANDS VICTIMS
OF TURKISH CRUELTY.
Estimated That 10000 Have Been
Slain In MOnastir ViIayet.


Slain in MOnnstir ViIayet.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. SAIL reports
from the vilayet of Monastir agree in
describing the situation as appalling.
Between 10000 and $4,000 Bulgarian in
habitants are believed to have been
massacred by the Turks, and every
Bulgarian village in the vilayet has
been destroyed. The refugees in the
mountains and forests are dying of
starvation by thousands.
At present it is impossible to obtain
precise figures. The revolutionary
headquarters estimate that 10000 Bull
garian men. women and children have
been killed, while at least the same
number of refugees are slowly perish
ing of hunger.
In official circles these figures are
regarded as an under estimate and Of
ficials incline to the belief that the
number massacred exceeds $4,000. The
Turks are apparently determined to ex-
terminate the entire Bulgarian popula-
ton of the vilayet.
In government circles mere the situa-
ton is viewed with increasing alarm.
It is reliably reported that the Turk
ish forces in Macedonia number S0O,-
900. 1t is considered impossible that
such a force has been assembled mere
ly to crush the rebellion. 1t is feared
that the Sultan is meditating an at
tack on Bulgaria.

CLERKS DON'T LIKE 1T
Because Postal Fraud Cases Hold Up
Their Pay.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. S.-The first
business of the second days session
of the National Association of Post
office Clerks was the submission of the
annual report of Editor Scott of the
Postal, and that was followed by the
report of Secretary Loef1er
The report called attention to the
fact that Congress had appropriated
funds for the increase in salaries of
several thousand clerks, and that the
fund had not been distributed on &C
count of the investigation of the frauds
in the department. Mr.. Loeffier said
the matter of promotions had not been
given proper consideration and advo-
Gated a mandatory classification
At the afternoon session Treasurer
Mcdonald made his report, showing a
balance of $2S63 now on hand.
The committee in charge of the clas-
sification bill reported, asking authori-
ty to have introduced into Congress
a bill providing that clerks receiving
less than $1,000 per annum receive an
annual increase of 500, until their
salaries reach $1,000; the clerks re-
ceiving $1,000 receive a yearly increase
UP to 81 400 per annum.
The report was adopted, and the
eight, hour bill was indorsed.

fired upon four Mussulmans. A fight
ensued, during which Mussulmans and
Christians came to the assistance Of
their respective compatriots.
This, says the report, compelled the
troops to intervene. and they succeed
ed in restoring order. Three soldiers
were wounded and one was killed, while
one Christian was killed and one
wounded.
These figures evidently are incorrect,
as the rioters must have lost more
heavily than the military.
The British consul at Beirut, i'm
mediately after the riot called upon
the Vail and threatened to ask Rear
Admiral Cotton to land marines from
the American squadron in the event CT
a renewal of the disturbances.
In official circles here the dstur-
Dances are attributed to the arrival of
the American squadron. and the be-
lief is expressed that the Christians at
Beirut are endeavoring to bring about
the landing of marines from the war
ships.

the trouble is not distinctly stated by
our consul. He further says that it is
claimed by the Sublime Porte that con-
ditions at Beirut are again quiet. and
that the force now there is sufficient
to guarantee the safety of the city.
Lieut.. Charles L. Hussey is Admiral
Cotton's flag lieutenant. and it is pre-
sumed here he is the officer making the
investigation.

SOME MORE ADVICE ON
GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
President Holds Forth on Some of
Its Requirements.


Oyster Bay N. Y, Sept. S-President
Roosevelt returned to Sycamore Hill to-
day from his trip to Syracuse: On his
way here he stopped at Richmond Hill,
the home of Jacob Rlls, and addressed
a large and enthusiastic gathering.
The President spoke briefly of good cit
izenship as exemplifed by Mr.. Riis,
saying in part:
Il want to see men decent; want to
see them act square; 1 want to see
them work. That does not mean 1
want to see them have sour
faces. / want to see all enjoy them
selves, men, women and children. i
believe in play: 1 believe in happiness,
and in the joy of living; but l do not
believe in the life that is nothing but
play. l believe in cheerfulness, as we'll
as in decency and honesty, and in the
next place, believe in the good man
who can fight if it is necessary as you
fought in the Civil War"
Arrangements have been made for
the return of President Roosevelt and
family to Washington on Monday, Sept.
rs. Prior to that time the President
will make one more trip, attending the
dedication of the New Jersey monu-
ment on the battlefield at Antietam.

out the following written statement
relative to a printed report that his

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson:
There is no truth whatever in the
reported engagement, and the news
paper man who sent out the report
might have learned the truth by in
quiring of Capt. Hobson or of our
family. Mr.. Hobson called on Mrs.
Bryan when he 1ectured in Lincoln re-

The match is shot on the 200, 500, 500,
