UNFAVoRABLE REPLIES
Bulgaria Less Hopeful of Intervention
by the Powers

Sofia, Sept. 22-The unfavorable re-
plies of Austria and Russia to Bull
garia's last note and the fact that none
of the other great powers has yet re-
piled, coupled with the allegations that
one of the powers is encouraging the
military party at Yildiz Kiosk, tend to
create a less hopeful feeling here.
Reports are in circulation regarding
negotiations between Turkey and Bul.
garia looking to solution of the Mace
donia difficulty.
The Dnevnik says Turkey has pre-
sented a note to Bulgaria asking for
the latter's assistance in reaching a
peaceable solution. Bulgaria replied
that Turkey must end the massacres,
withdraw her frontier forces, guaran.
tee peace and protection to the vii.
layers, amnesty the political offenders
and introduce such governmental re.
forms as will pacify Macedonia and
Adrianople. The Bulgarian reply con.
cluded:
If the present situation continues
the Bulgarian government will be com.
PEELED to yield to public opinion and
send an army to the frontier"
1t appears doubtful that the govern.
ment has sent such an answer.
According to information received
by the revolutionary headquarters
from Monastir, 120 persons perished
in the flames of their burning villages
near Kastoria.
Over 1900 bodies of women and
children are said to be lying unburied
in the fields and on the roadsides
around Kastoria.
A special dispatch from Rila gives
details of the fighting in Perrin. On
Sept. 1G, 1000 Turkish troops sur.
rounded the village and attacked the
insurgent bands. The latter were re.
inforced and the combined insurgent
forces turned on the Turks and com.
rletely annihilated them.

Storm In New York and Vicinity.

Greater New York and its environs
were visited Wednesday of last week
by one of the fiercest wind and
transforms in years. The day began
with rain, which increased as the
east wind grew stronger and for two
hours about midday the combined fury
of the elements wrought damage on
land and water amounting to many
thousands of dollars. The gale cul-
minated at noon in a wind velocity of
81 miles an hour. The gauges at
the weather bureau registered 1.30
inches precipitation in two hours. BY
the middle of the afternoon the wind
had subsidized and the sun appeared.
Several persons were injured by be-
ing blown off fire escapes and wagons
and by being forced against walls by
the onslaught of the storm, and two
deaths were caused by contact with
broken trolley wires.
While en- route from Oyster Bay to
New York on the naval yacht Sylph
the president passed through the
storm, during which the vessel was in
imminent danger.
The vessel left Oyster Bay in a
light rain. Less than an hour after
the Sylph had entered Long Island
sound she ran into a terrific wind and
rainstorm. 1t increased in rapidity and
off Schuyler it developed into hurri-
cane, with a velocity of 65 miles an
hour.
The Sylph, a comparatively small
vessel, pitched heavily and off Will
let's Point listed sharply to starboard.
The president and his guests had
been forced to go below and beyond
drenching none suffered inconveni-
ence.

Coopersrown, N. Y, Sept. %. - A

death of one Italian and the wounding
of General Manager Tiiton and a dep

The Italians are quartered in shan.

Sunday night they built an obstruc.
tion on the track. The first car start.

Oneonta brought Receiver Jennings,
General Manager Tilton and several
deputies.
When they set about removing the
obstruction, the Italians attacked
them, firing pistols and throwing
stones. Mr.. Tilton was hit on the
right temple with a stone and his face
was badly cut, Deputy Sheriff French
received a bullet wound in the head
and was also gashed with a stone
Deputies and employees of the road
returned the fire of the Italians and
one laborer was killed. The trouble
was then stopped and traffic was re.

The trouble grew out of the fact
that there is due the Italians two

the road is in litigation. The laborers
have been paid for all work done since
