Turkish Brutality.

London. Sept. 1.-The Daily Mails cor- respondent in a dispatch from Monastir dated August 31, tells of an intellectual attempt he made to penetrate the Alba- nian cordon and reach Armenisko. He was threatened with death and compelI- ed to return under guard. He gives nu- merous instances of Turkish brutality and treachery. The villagers of Armen- isko were mastered before a single in- surgent visited the place. The inhabit- ants of the village Veolkas near Florina were butchered while on their way to Florina under guard. after having sur rendered on 8 guarantee of immunity. At Florina, continues the correspondent. the Christians are in state of abject fear and handicapped by bigoted Crock Metropolitan who orders them to stay in the villages and not to flee. with the result that the savage soldiery murder them by the scores. The European resi- dents of Monastir. including the consuls are in a state of great anxiety. Many including the Italian Consul have recent ly been insulted by soldiers. Operations commenced last Thursday on an organ lzed scale against the insurgents and bodies of troops are operating in all Ci- rections but no reports of the reazlltA have yet arrived --.--.-.f -

MOONEY AND MrTcHEr1.
Former Has Defisd Mine Workers
 President.

Kansas City, Sept. 3.-James Mooney, the district leader who is regarded as responsible for the Novinger coal strike, is asserted ot be holding out against John Mitchell to further his alleged aspi- ranons for the presidency of the United Mine Workers of America. MT. Mooney has. it Is said, worked at cross purposes with President Mitchell ever since the calling of the Pittsburg, Kas., conference, two months ago, when Mitchell went so far as to tell Mooney to sit down and keep still. In any event the situation in the Novinger district promises to furnish an interesting fight.
 Now that the miners there have violated the agreement reaoned by President Mitchell and the miners at Chicago re- gently, the operators say they will make no effort to conciliate the strikers. The operators. Furthermore. have told the national board of the United Mine Work CTS. that they expect the board to control
 its own men and that If they fail to do so they will De unable to deal with the | officers of the national organization at the Kansas City conference next week. If the men still refuse to go to work after Wce-President Lewis talks with the strikers. the next move. it is said, may be the suspension of Mooney and the local unions involved.

Tor in the State Treasury. The bill car- ried an appropriation of s50,000. The bill passed by the narrow margin of one vote, ayes, 45; nays, A.
 To Recover State Lands.
 Senate bill 150, To provide for the recov- cry to the State of lands not legally pat ented and to settle disputed titles, was taken up. To assist in its object, the bill provides for a special agent. The bill came up as unfinished business, the House having partially considered the bill on the last day of the winter session.
 Representative Wood of Macon said that he saw no necessity for the bill. As he caught the reading of it. there was no particular reason why the bill should be passed It appeared to him that the bill created new land agent in addition to the present agent.
 Mir. Mcdonald of Barbour said that he was in the same boat with the gentleman from Macon. He failed to see where the bill was necessary.
 MT. Bankhead of Walker said that he was not the author of the bill nor had he been familiar with it's provisions during the winter session. Since the adjourn ment he had examined the bill and ho was convinced by that examination that the Dill should pass. The bill gave the State land agent additional authority to settle disputed titles. It gave the Gov ernor authority to hire an agent and pay him limited salary for the time he was at work
 Representative Callahan of Morgan said the courts of the land were the proper places to settle disputed titles.
 The bill proposed, he said, to increase the salary of the State land agent from Sl00 to $l25 a month. He was opposed to the bill for that reason.
 MT. Kelly of Choctaw said the bill looked to him like 1t was intended to give some fellow job that wanted 1t, or to pay some fellow more money that al- ready had job.
 MT. Benners of Jefferson said he was convinced that there was some merit in the bill, but objectionable features to 1t had been pointed out. He moved that the bill be recommended to the committee on Judiciary.
 And Lusk Killed It.
 MT. Lusk, of Marshall, moved that the Dill and pending amendments be indefi- nltely postponed, saying to his neighbors, Let's kill 1t now"
 The motion was adopted with votes to spare, very few noes being heard.
 The Governors message returning tho bill adding $100,000 to the Confederate pen- sion fund, had been brought in a few minutes earlier. The message was &C., companied by an amendment to the bill making the appropriation $50, 900 instead of $1OO.OOO. After an extended debate the Governor attitude was sustained by the adoption of the amendment by vote of 60 to 34

NOW DEFEND ON CANADA.
Britishers Hope the Dominion Can
 Make Better Showing.

London. Sept. 3.-The final defeat of Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger. Sham rock III. was received in London with listlessness. most of the afternoon papers published special edition. announcing the result of the cup race, but the an- nouncement had already been discount ed by the dispatch giving the progress of the race.
 The concensus is that Sir Thomas Lip ton has done everything that time and money could accomplish and widespread sympathy for him is shown. The chief hope expressed in the streets Is that Canada will enter the lists next year and possibly succeed where the mother country has failed. It seems improbable that another challenger soon will be des- patched from England.

Effort to Hold the Next Cup contss,
 There.


 San Francisco. scpt. s.-The California Promotion Committee has sent the fol lowing telegram to the President of the New York Yacht Club inviting the club to select San Francisco harbor as the next course for the defense of the Americas g cup:
 "C. Oliver Iselin, President New York Yacht Club. New York:
 Dear sir-on behalf of the State of California and the city of San Francisco, the California Promotion Committee re- spectfully suggests to the New York Yacht Club that the next international race for the challenge cup be held in the waters of San Francisco Bay. The as- surance of brisk winds with an average velocity for June of thirteen, for July thirteen and August of twelve miles an hour, and with deep and safest waters in the largest land-locked harbor in the world, with A5o square miles of water surface, insure safe and exciting con- test, which could be viewed from begin ming to end by spectators on land. Tho open ocean course outside the harbor offers similar advantages. The fact that there is no rain during the summer months is an additional feature.
 eff the competing yachts should be brought through the Suez canal. the long trip would arouse the greatest interest in this international event. With the con- test on the Pacific coast, other nations would undoubtedly be led to compete for the Americas cup. This invitation is en- dorsed by the San Francisco Yacht Club. Rufus P. Jennings, Executive Officer. the California Promotion Committee
 A similar telegram was sent to Sir Thomas Lipton. When asked his opinion of the merits of San Francisco harbor as a course for international racing. James D. Phelan, formerly Mayor of San Francisco, who is close personal friend of Sir Thomas Lipton. said that in his opinion such a course could not be surpassed.
 There would be no difficulty in provid- ing funds for special trophy" said MT. Lipton is coming to tho caast shertly.9
