MAcEDoNIANs IN HIDING.
Thousands of Women and Children
Have Taken to the Mountains.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 9.-The Mace
donna interior organization estimates
that 100000 women, children and old
men are hiding in the mountains and
forests of Macedonia. The Turks are
burning the forests in the districts of
Leren and Kostur, and killing fugi-
tives who attempt to escape to the
plains. The Vlach village Of Gopesh,
three hours distant from Monastir, has
been burned by the Turks, who are re-
ported to have thrown several OF the
inhabitants into the fire.
Fifteen thousand Turkish soldiers
are assembled on the frontier at Pal
anka, Kratovo and Gotschani, and are
plundering the surrounding villages.
The people have not complained, fear
ing that they may be murdered. In
the district Of Debritsi, vilayet Of Mon
astir, the soldiers are reported to be
naked and starving and to be robbing
all around.
The general staff of the insurgents
has issued circular ordering the
bands not to modest the peaceful Turk
ish and Albanian villages. The order
concludes:
There will always be plenty of time
to take such measures" .~
Famine prevails in the district of
Krushevo, and the population is going
into the adjacent districts.
All reports from the vilayet of Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and 50,-
900 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed
to have been massacred by the Turks
and every Bulgarian village in the viii
ayet has been destroyed. The refugees
in the mountains and forests are dying
of starvation by thousands. At pres
ent it is impossible to obtain precise
figures. The revolutionary headquar-
tiers estimate that 10000 Bulgarian
men, women and children have been
killed, while at least the same number
of refugees are regarded as an under
estimate and officials incline to the be-
lief that the number of the massacred
exceeds fifty thousand. The Turks are
apparently determined to eXterminate
the entire Bulgarian population of the
vilayet. The actual details Of the hap
penings outside the towns are not
available. The foreign representatives
at Monastir are dependent on informa-
ton furnished to them from Turkish
official sources.
In government circles here the situa-
ton is viewed with increasing alarm.
1t is reliably reported that the Turkish
forces in Macedonia number 100000.
1t is considered impossible that such
a force has been assembled merely to
crush the rebellion It is feared that
the sultan is meditating an attack on
Bulgaria.

FIGHTING TAXES
PLACE At BEIRUT
MussuImans, Christians and
Turkish Soldiers Have a
4. Street Fight.
SEVERAL FATALITIES OCCUR
British Consul Threatens to Ask
Admiral Cotton to Land Marines
Diplomats See Fresh Cause for
y Concern in incident.

Washington, Sept. l0.-The navy
department has received the following
cablegram from Admiral Cotton dated
Beirut, September q:
violence and bloodshed between
the Mohammedans and native Christ.
ians occurred at Beirut Sunday. Six
Greek Christians, two Mohammedans
and one Turkish soldier killed. Two
Greek Christians, two Mohammedans
and three Turkish soldiers wounded
seriously. Other murders reported.

consul were present Sunday and Mon

properly disposed Of to handle situa-
ton at Beirut. Well patrolled and all
quiet Sunday night and today, Mon
day. Turkish governor promises to
do all In his power to restore author
ity. Many houses closed and bust
ness suspended"
Constantinople, Sept. ga consular
dispatch from Beirut received at one
Of the embassies here, states that
fierce brawl occurred there Monday
between parties of Mussulmans and
Christians.
It was due to a shot fired by Mus
sulman upon a Christian employed at
the American college The Christian
was wounded.
The fight broke out while the vail
was on board the United States cruis-
or Brooklyn, returning Admiral Cot
toms visit.
In diplomatic circles here the affair
Is regarded as being serious and re-
newal Of the disturbances is feared.
An official version Of the Beirut af-
fair telegraphed later to the Ottoman
ambassadors abroad for communica-
ton to the powers says that the Chris
tians were the assailants, they having
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 succeeded
in restoring order. Three soldiers
were wounded and one was killed,
while one Christian was killed and
one wounded.
These figures evidently are incor-
rect, as the rioters must have lost
more heavily than the military.
The British consul at Beirut imme-
diately after the riot called upon the
vail and threatened to ask Rear Ad-
miral Cotton to land marines from the
American squadron in the event of the
renewal of the disturbances.
In official circles here the disturb
ances are attributed to the arrival Of
the American squadron, and the belief
is expressed that the Christians at
Beirut are endeavoring to bring about
the landing Of marines from the war
ships. -

SHIPS ENCOURAGE CHRISTIANS
Appearance Of Stars and Stripes in
Turkish Waters Give Them Heart.

London, Sept. 9.-Official and diplo.
matte circles here regard the conflict
between Mussulmans and Christians
at Beirut as evidence of the develop
ment Of the feeling throughout Tur.
key as result of the Macedonian
trouble. This is borne out by threat.
ened uprising in Smyrna.
The Turkish embassy yesterday re-
ceived a dispatch from Constantinople
in relation to the Beirut affair as fol-
lows:
Some of the orthodox inhabitants
of Beirut attacked four Mussulmans
who were passing through the Muz-
rea quarters, fired upon them and riot
ing ensued. 5
""The imperial authorities immedi-
ately sent troops to the scene of the
disturbance, which put an end to the
strife. One soldier was killed and
three were wounded. One civilian was
killed and one was wounded. Order
and tranquility are perfectly main
tanned in all parts of the villayet. A
high Turkish official pointed out that
the Christians were the aggressors,
but he said it would not have been
even surprising had the Mussulmans
precipitated the row, for throughout
Turkey indignation is felt at the con-
duct Of the Mussulmans in Mace
dOnia.'
"The Christians at Beirut have been
greatly encouraged by the appearance
of the American squadron, the pres
ence of which could not be, regarded
sympathetically by the Mohammedan
population, because it had come, not
to pay friendly call, but to enforce
demands"
It Is understood here that Turkey is
anxious to induce the United States
to withdraw the American warships
from Turkish waters, believing that
such action would discourage the
Christians, who hope for American in.

MANY SALOONS AFFECTED.
Interpretation Sought to Pc Put On
Mulct Law Would Close Them.

MuIct Law Wouto Close nSW.
Des Moines, Sept. 9.-In the injunc-
ton suit commenced against Lorenz
III, tenant, and the owners Of the
building at the northeast corner of
West Third street ana Court avenue,
q point has been raised that will be
Of interest to landlords and liquor
dealers all over the state. 1t Is q
question, that If determined adversely
to the defendants, will result In the
closing of over half the saloons In this
city and of large proportion OF those
in the state.
The Clarke law, under which sa.
looms are operating, as originally en-
acted, contained provision to the Ell.
feet the tenant must obtain the con-
sent Of property owners within fifty
feet of the premises to be occupied
with a liquor business. In test suits
started it was claimed that the word
premises meant the entire property or
building in which the saloon was stu.
ated. The supreme court held that
the word meant only the room actually
occupied for saloon purposes.
| When the commissioners revised
the code in 1897 they changed the
word premises in this section OF the
liquor law to property.
| In the injunction suit now pending
It is claimed that the consent must be
obtained from all resident owners
within fifty feet Of the building In
| which this saloon is located, and not
the particular room it occupies. The
building is so located that it would be
necessary to obtain consents for rad
4 ius Of nearly block to the north and
east.
The defense is relying on the intent
Of the legislature when it passed upon
the revision, and not upon the literal
meaning of the word property. 1t Is
their contention that it was not the IN
tent Of the legislature to change the
limits of the consent requirement 81
flxed in the original enactment. 1t Is
up to the courts to decide what the IN
4 tent was and whether the rule OF leg
islative intent or the rule OF literal
meaning Of the words shall apply II
