GENERAL NEWS OF THE DAY

CONSTANTINOPLE, April DE
tails of the disturbances in North AL
bania show that the revolt which has
broken out there against the reform
scheme of the powers is a very seri-
Gus one. Several thousand armed AL
banians surrounded the town of Vuc-
steen March 20, and demanded the
surrender OF eleven Servian gen
dearmes who had been enlisted in ac-
cordance with the reform plans. The
governor surrendered the Ss-vians
who were bound and taken l. Pris-
tina, after having been maltreated.
A number of Servian inhabitants and
bands of Albanians later surrounded
Mitrovitza and serious fighting en-
sued with the Turkish garrison, cor
sisting of 5000 T. ops The fighting
continued until MAJ ] 80, when the
Albians finally were repulsed with
great loss. Heavy fe-inforcements
have been ordered to the scene Of the
outbreak. The Albanian, rising has
caused panic among the Christians
of old Servia, who are fleeing toward
Servia A panic has occurred in con-
sequence of the growing fanaticism of
the Albanians against the Christians.
The latter have closed their shrps
and schools and are preparing to seek
refuge at Monastir. Nums5ars OF Chris

undoubtedly genuine. Mr.. Bacharach
accepted the check and returned $29

Attached to the passenger train
from the west yesterday afternoon
was an elegant private car of the Chi
cago, Minneapolis & ST. Paul railway.
The car was the temporary home of
Judge GrOsscup, the somewhat noted
Chicago justice of the United States
court, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Patters IN,
and Miss Irene Taylor, all of Chicago.
While waiting for their train to
start, the party promenaded the sta
ton platform. They applied to a by
stander for some information regard
ing the city and then asked if he
could tell them whose private car
was attached to the train. The reply,
which came instantly, was startling.
Certainly, that's the car Of the Chi

time the Home has cared for 1Sv sick
persons The total number of sick
days charged against these patients
is 1928, which allows about thirty
six cents per day for each patient
cared for This includes medicines,
provisions, nurse hire. and in fact
every outlay of the Home Can it be

The familiar lines are an epitome

have been strike at all. 1t was
rather a cessation of operations for
a brief space to allow the carpenters
and contractors to talk over a num-

two exceptions, the employers and
the employed have signed an agree

and for the employment of nothing
