DAUGHTER OF "THE sPY'
 STAR OF COMPANY.

To the Confederate veterans of the community there will be an added interest in the forthcoming produc- ton of "Oarkness and Daylight" {" which opens the Newport Opera House on September II, because of the fact that the particular star of the organization is Miss Sarah Boyd, a daughter of Belle Boyd of Virginia, who was known to fame as 1.-The Con- federate Spyp These same people will be delighted to know that Belle Boyd's daughter now is one of the most prominent of the younger ac- tresses of the country, and that her present tour of the South has been almost a social triumph, as we'll as the usual hard grind of theatrical life, as the Confederate veterans every where along the route, as well as their wives and daughters, have yied with each other in extending their hospi- tality to the daughter of their late fcomrade in arms.v

DEAF MUTE INSTITUTE
 WILL OPEN AS USUAL,

Little Rock, Sept. s.-The board of trustees of the state charitable insti- tutions held meeting yesterday afternoon and decided that the deaf mute institute will open on schedule time the first Monday in October. The question of raising funds to sustain the institution until the meeting of the next legislature in 1905 was discussed at length and it was finally agreed to accept the terms of the business men of Little Rock, who propose to fur nish supplies on credit with per cent interest. The members of the board agreed to raise through friends and other sources the $25,000 required to pay salaries of employees of the insti- tute.

SOLDIERS REVIEWED.
 BY GOV. DAVIS.
Busy Day for Arkansas State Guard at Hot Springs Encampment Chief Executive Pleased
 With Drill

Hot Springs, Sept. S.. Today has been busy day with the citizen soldiery now in encampment here.
 At 10:3O Gen. Haynes and staff and battalion of troops met Gov. Jeff Davis at the depot as he alighted from the train and escorted him to the Ar lington Hotel, where the general has headquarters After rest of one hour, Gov Davis was escorted to Camp Churchill and found the troops in formation ready to salute the chief executive of the state. The maneu- vers of the troops on this occasion, it is claimed by old timers of the blue and the gray, proved one of the finest military exhibitions seen in the state since 1865. Ovor 1,700 troops partici- pated and passed in review before the governor and staff. The march in re- view this afternoon was the biggest event so far of the encampment. At 2:30 p. m., acting upon orders from Ma]or General Haynes, the troops formed in regiments and battalions in the order named in the reassignment of companies, and marched out of camp to Central avenue, and up Gen. tral avenue past the Arlington Hotel, where the veterans of the Blue and the Gray were formed into line to re- view them. Preceding the procession were the sponsors, chaperons and maids of honor in carriages. Then followed Gov Davis, accompanied by Gen. Churchill, in whose honor the camp is named, on horseback, imme- diately followed by Gen. Haynes and staff. To the inspiring strains of martial music by the First Regiment Band, the citizen soldiery dropped by and finer body of militia never was reviewed in this state. Nine thousand people lined both sides of the street to witness the exhibition march, and l if the boys could have heard all the compliments passed upon them, the state guard would have reason to feel proud of their general appearance. The fine discipline shown by the troops surprised even majority of the veterans, many of whom grew enthusiastic as company after com pany passed by and saluted Old Glory with presented arms as the flag of the nation was dipped in acknowledg- ment.
 One of the happiest affairs of the encampment was the presentation to- night by members of his staff of a handsome sword to Gen. Haynes. The presentation speech was made by Gen. Minor of Newport, and Gen Haynes made very felicitous re- sponse. Gen. Horner of Helena also responded for his chief. The sword is an imported blade and has silver scabbard, with gold trimmings. The presentation was made at the Airing 1 ton Hotel, and a large crowd wit messed it.

DAVIS DENOUNCED AS
 TRAITOR TO LABOR.

Fort Smith, Sept. 8.--Labor Day was celebrated yesterday by organized labor with good success. There was q parade composed of various labor unions and in the afternoon addresses were made at McLoud's park by Col. T. Winchester, Rev. Courtland Smith and Prosecuting Attorney Ben Cra- vens.
 At the conclusion of the addresses considerable surprise was created by the announcement by Secretary Brackney of the Mine Workers Union that Jake Yaden, Jenny Lind miner, desired to speak. Mir. Yaden branched off into politics and declared that as a member of organized labor he was prepared to say that Jeff Davis was a traitor to the cause and that while he was bowling over the state that he was a ''one- -gallus feller'' he was stabbing organized labor in the back
 During the afternoon there were sack races and other contests, and in the evening an entertaining musical and literary program was presented in the summer theatre.

POLITICAL RUMORS THICK
SPECIAL MEETING OF ENGLISH
CABINET SUMMONED.
Break Up and n General Election
CalIed-Possib.e That no Omen
Breach Will Occur

London, September ia special
meeting of the cabinet has been sum-
moned for September 14th, and the po-
litical atmosphere is thick with rumors
These include reports that the gov
ernment will break up and that a gem
eral election will be held or at least
that the cabinet will be re-organized
On the other hand, it is declared that
no open breach will be developed and
that, with the exception of providing
another office new marquis of Sails
bury, who, as Lord Cranborn was un-
der secretary for foreign affairs. things
will go on much as they have before.
The original cause for the summons
sent to the cabinet at this unusual pc
riod of the year was the discussion of
Colonel Secretary Chamberlain's fiscal
proposals and the preparation for
Premier Balfour's promised pronounce
ment upon that subject.
Since then the fiscal agitation has
become of almost secondary interest,
intense feeling have been aroused by
the South African war commission re-
port. while public sentiment is also
deeply exercised in the Balkan hor-
rors. 1t is said that Mr. Balfour will

been taking an active interest in the
Balkan situation. and the government
The Associated Press learns that Mr.
Balfour himself does not anticipate any

WANTS LONGER Time
RUSSIA ASKS TO POSTPONE EVACU-
ALTON OF MANCHURIA.,
If the Matter is Purely Local to the
Province. China Can Grant Per-
mission for the POstpOnement-It
is Not Thought That the Pledge
Will be Broken.

Washington, September 12.-Russia
has requested permission of China to
postpone her evacuation of one of the
frontier provinces for the general evac-
uation of Manchuria. Minister Conger
cables the state department this fact
and the matter has been referred to
Secretary Hay at the secretary's sum-
mer home in New Hampshire for con-
sideration.
The Washington government has re-
ceived satisfactory assurances from the
st. Petersburg authorities that the gen.
eral evacuation Of Manchuria will occur
on October Sth. If for some reasons
purely local to the province in question,
Russia should request permission to
postpone the withdrawal OF her troops
from that particular province for sey-
al months, it is said to be for China to
say whether the request shall be grant
ed.
This request, in the opinion of the
state department officials does not in
dicate that Russia intends to break her
pledge to the powers.

Sofia, Bulgaria, September 12.-With
the arrival Of new and sensational re-
ports of the wholesale massacre OF
Christians in Macedonia, the situation
here is hourly becoming more alarming.
If the latest messag ges, which state that
sixty thousand Bulgarians have been
SLAUGHTERED in the districts Of Okrlda
and Leren, shall be confirmed, no doubt
exists that the government will be fore
ed TO order the mobilization of the army
Immediately.
According to information brought by
courier TO the revolutionary paper
Autonomye. a force of Albanians, assis-
ted by Turkish regular forces acting un-
der orders direct from Yildiz Kiosk
massacred the entire Bulgarian Chris.
tian population of the Okrida and Leren
districts. Fearful descriptions are Civ
diers slaughtering men, women and
children in every direction, displaying
i barbarism never before witnessed.
The number of killed is not stated
in the courier's dispatches, but, accord
ing to reports from other sources. the
total number of the victims will reach
sixty thousand.
Official circles are so far without in
formation regarding the reported mas
sacre, but, in view of the character Of
the latest advices from Macedonia, il
is feared the news is only too true.
RumOrs are current that at council
OF the ministers today. it was decided
to mobilize Immediately the first and
second army divisions. This is official
Iy denied. but we'll informed persons
do not doubt that the cabinet, which is
meeting in council daily, is seriously
considering such a measure.
\ deputatiOn, of leading professors
and representatives of the professional
classes yesterday waited upon the min
listers and urged the government to or
der immediate mobilization. Premier
Petroff replied to the delegation that the
ministry was unable to admit the neces-
sity for such a step at the present mo-
ment.
The Turkish government is believed
to have at the present moment no less
than $4,000 soldiers in the vilayet of
Adrianople, large bodies of them within
ten to fifteen kilometres of the Bulga-
rian frontier. Confronted with such a
situation, it is argued that Bulgaria
would be amply justified in mobilizing
the first and second-army divisions. the
headquarters of which are at Sofia, and
PhilippOpolis, and which comprise the
forces nearest the Turkish frontier.
The government appears to be firmly
resolved to avoid giving Turkey the
slightest preteXt for declaring HOSTILE
ties and is doing its utmost TO restrain
the war fever The situation however,
is rapidly becoming worse and popular
eXcitement is increasing. The Bulga-
rians are singularly undemonstrative
