TERRIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
Predicted by the London Press, Based
 Upon Late News.

London, Sept. 9.-Everything seems to point to new and terrible develop ments in Macedonia. On top of the appalling accounts of the results of the Turkish methods of restoring or der' In the vilayet of Monastir comes the threat by the insurgents to resort to reprisals on the same scale.
 The Porte's anxiety 10 suppress news by expelling newspaper correspondents from the area of the operations is held to have but one meaning. This mcrn- ing's papers comment upon the signfi- canoe of the news first published by the Associated Press, that Russia and Austria are seeking to persuade the powers to coerce Bulgaria, as showing a belief that war is inevitable.
 No further news regarding the out break at Beirut has been received here. A dispatch to the Standard from Con- stantinople. dated Monday says:
 With the slightest encoura cement disorders might result in the whole of Lebanon rising in revolt. Today had been foretoid as the date of a rising against the foreigners. and many resi- dents of Constantinople are keeping to their houses. Personally I doubt whether there will be anything more than dynamite outrages. which are

An Illinoisan who has heen through the mill says: Last Spring | was so bad with indigestion I could not digest even soft cooked eggs and doctor said I must eat predigested food and pre- scribed Grape Nuts. l changed for the better before l had used one package, eating it three times a day.
 My improvement on Grape Nuts food was so wonderful that I con- cluded to use your food drink Postum in place of tea and to make a long story short l have not been without Grape Nuts and Postum since and my present health proves my doctors wis dom in prescribing Grape-Nuts. I have got strong as a horse and well and owe it all to your delicious food and Postum." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
 In the making of Grape-Nuts food all the indigestible starches of the grain are transformed into Post sugar. Every particle of Grape-Nuts is diges- tible in the weakest stomach. Physi- clans have never found stomach too weak to digest and assimilate it.

ing, when, on passing a street near three miles from Beirut on which stands the buildings of the American mission) he heard shots of pistol fir ing. He turned to see whence the shots came and a bullet whizZed past his face.
 The vice consul at once had the car riage stopped and jumped out to dis cover his assailant but could see no one. The following day he went to the government office where he met the Italian consul and the Austrian con- sul, who had come to complain about burglaries at their house. The gov ernor ordered an investigation of the attack of MT. Magelssen but the only result was the arrest of young Chris tian who had attended marriage on the previous night and in whose pos session was found toy pistol.
 The American vice consul indignantly refused tc accept the arrest of this man and decided to visit his brother in-law, the American consul general, who was staying in the mountains north of Beirut.
 The Egyptian Gazette mentions that three months before MT. Magelssen was attacked by man in Turkish uni form, but whom by his strength he put to flight. It adds that there is lit tie public safety in Beirut and 1t is very dangerous for Europeans to ap- pear on the streets at night. Murder and pillage are daily occurrences, and many families have moved to Egypt.

ENGAGEMENT DENIED
Of Lieuenant HObSOn and
 Col. Bryan s Daughter
The Colonel in a Less Authoritative Statement Says That Tom Johnson Will Be Governor of Ohio.

Cleveland, O., Sept. S.-Wm. l. Bryan arrived here today from the east and called at the city hall for a conference with Mayor Johnson. The latter was out of the city, however. and MT. Bryan subsequently, left for Toledo, after taking lunch with Chas. J. Sales, chairman of the democratic executive committee. MT. Bryan declined to dis cuss national politics, but predicted that Mir Johnson would be elected governor of Ohio.
 While here today, Mir. Bryan gave out the following statement, relative to the printed report that his daughter, Ruth, was engaged to marry Capt. Richmond P. Hobson:
 There is no truth whatever in the reported enga cement and the news pa per man who sent out the report might have learned the truth by in quiring either of Lieut.. Hobson, or my family. MT. Hobson called on Mrs. Bryan when he lectured in Lincoln recently and there met my daughter. The fact that such a circumstance is made the basis of the story printed shows how unreliable some of the so- called news is.

A STORY VIA PARIS.

Paris, Sept. S.-Official advices re- ceived by the foreign office describe the conditions at Beirut. The city is in an intense state of excitement. An outbreak occurred during the night of September (. The fighting was furious, firearms and knives being used. The news caused much apprehension in off, cial quarters, as being an indication of the spread of disorders in the Turk ish empire. The presence of the United States squadron is considered fortu- nate. Smyrna is also on the eve of an outbreak Great excitement prevails there. and Salonica advices are very disquieting. It is understood that a general insurrection will shortly be announced by the Mace donian com mittee.

 orado Mining Strike.

Pueblo. Colo. Sept. S.-Dislrict Organ iZer John Gehr of the United States Workers of America passed through Pueblo today on his way to Trinidad, where he is going to complete an or ganiZation so far as possible of the miners of that district preparatory to the anticipated strike for the eight hour day and bi-monthly payday.
 In an interview Mir Gehr said: No. l do not know whether a strike will be declared. Things are beginning to as sume a decidedly warlike hue. 1 am free to admit. We hope to reach an agreement without resorting to drastic measures. but at this time it looks de- cidedly serious. Representatives from our organization and the operators will meet in Denver on Thursday for the purpose of discussing the situation in it's every phrase. What the outcome of this meeting will be l. do not know. but the action taken on Thursday will decide what course we will pursue. Until after that meeting 1 can say nothing regarding the time when the strike will be called.
 "The men over the entire jurisdiction are showing a decidedly restless spirit. and they are bound to force the issue on the eight-hour day. Unless some agreement is effected soon :he men will go out without the sanction of the union and I will be unable to keep them un- der control All they want is the eight hour workday, the bimonthly payday and a fair system of weights.
 We are prepared for long struggle and everything necessary for the sue cess of the strike has practically been arranged

WILL STAY ABROAD.

Toronto, Sept. S.-Mr. Stern declined to be seen when a reporter called at his home today. He referred all callers to his attorney.
 MT. Stern's lawyer said his client was ready to appear before an eXtradition judge and prove his innocence, which is interpreted as a declaration that extra dition proceedings will be fought to the end. He will not leave the city. the attorney says, and if an extradition warrant is secured MT. Stern will at once leave for Washington.
 It was said tonight by one official that he understood the indictments re- turned by the grand jury today were mostly those of persons who had all ready been indicted for alleged inn proper acts which have developed as d result of the investigation conducted by the postmaster general. There may be. however, he added, one or two addi- tional cases. The probability is that the government, as to persons prevl- ously indicted, is seeking to strengthen it's case by fresh indictments or has deserted other acts which in the judg- ment of the grand jury are sufficiently grave to warrant renewed action

'MORGANISMUS" MADE IN GER
 MANY.

Senator Depew's discovery that Aixles-Bains has ramed boulevard after Pierpont Morgan recalls the fact that the Germans have incorporated the name of the great American pro- moter into the language of the coun- try. The term 'Morganismus" is cur rently used in Germany to describe the classification" of industry. The cor responding verb is 'morganisiren." To have ones name embalmed, as it were in the vocabulary of a foreign language is distinction that falls to the lot of few mortals.-Boston Transcript.

A MACEDONIAN VERSION

EA
 Sofia, Sept. S.-The Macedonian in terior organization estimates that 150, coo women, children and old men are hiding in the mountains and forests of Macedonia. The Turks are burning the forests in the districts of Leron and Kosbr, and killing the fugitives who attempt to escape to the plains The Vlach village Of Copesh, three hours distant from Monastir has been burned by the Turks who are reported to have thrown several of the inhabi- tants into the fire. The Bashi Bazouks have destroyed the village of Stoilovp. near Malketernovo. Thirteen thousand Turkish soldiers are assembled on the frontier at Palanka. Kratervo and Get schani. and are plundering the sur rounding villages. The people have not complained, fearing that they may be murdered. In the district of Debritsi. vilayet of Monastir, 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 molest the peaceful Turk ish and Albanian villages. The order concludes: tThcre will always be plenty of time to take such measures" :" Famine prevails in the district of Krusheto and the population is going into the adjacent districts. All reports from the vilayet Of Monastir agree in describing the situation as appalling. Between 30.000 and 50000 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed to have been massacred by the Turks and every Bulgarian village in the vilayet has been destroyed
 The refugees in the mountains and forests are dying of starvation by the thousands. At present it is impossible to obtain precise figures. The revolu- tionary headquarters estimate that co., GOO Bulgarian men, women and chil- dren have been killed, while at least the same number of refugees are slow ly perishing of hunger. In official circles these figures are regarded as an under estimate and officials are in clined to the belief that the number of the massacred exceeds 50,000. The Turks are apparently determined to ex- terminate the entire Bulgarian popu- lation of the vilayet. The actual de tails of the happenings outside the town are not available. The foreign representatives at Monastir are de-
 
 by Turkish official sources.
 In government circles here the sit uation is viewed with increasing alarm. It is reliably reported that the Turk ish forces in Macedonia number 300.000. It 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.
 According to a telegram from Con- stantinople the Porte has issued an unconditional order that all European correspondents must leave Macedonia because they are circulating false re- ports. The ambassadors have been notified of this decision.
 The latest report regarding Boris Sarafoff, the Macedonian leader, says he was wounded in the leg near Dair- enc.

Returned by Grand Jury
 Against Postal TheiveS
SURRENDER OF E IvERS
 9a Names of Indicted Pers Q 2 Will Not Be Given Out Until : ants Are Served-The Case C Fugitive Stern. D

Washington, Sept. S.-After deliber- ating for several weeks over mass of documents submitted by the postoffice inspectors, the federal grand jury in this citX today returned seven indict- ments in the postal cases, involving six different persons. All the indict- ments were kept off the public record and both the officials of the district at torney's office and of the pOstoffice de- partment refused to discuss the names or details of the indictments until the parties indicted are arrested. The iden- tity of the indicted individuals thus was left a matter of conjecture. It is expected that arrests will occur tomor- row morning and that the postoffice department will have some announce ment to make during the forenoon.
 Tie grand jury action probably marks the beginning of the end of the inyes- tigations that have been in progress since the middle of last March. Volum- inous evidence has been laid before the grand jury as the result of the inquiry, and while the present report of the jury disposes of most of the cases there yet remain several cases to be passed upon. When the latter are disposed of, accord ing to Postmaster General Payne. the
 
 Washington is concerned, will be at az end for all practical purposes. Several of the persons indicted to day live out side of Washington. They will be ar rested as soon as bench warrants can be served.
 Postmaster General Payne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow received word of the grand jurys action shortly after that body reported. and subsequently they had d long conference on the subject. Both officials refused to divulge details pend ing official notification of arrests.
 Two other important events occurred today in the postal investigation. Leo pold Stern the Baltimore contractor, who disappeared from Baltimore before he could be arrested on an indictment returned on July 31st last. was located at Toronto. and the long delayed sur render of George w. Beavers. the former head of the salary and allow ance division, to the New York authori- ties took place.
 The postal officials have been search ing for Stern ever since he disap- peared, and finally received word from the Canadian authorities that he is in Toronto. They expressed much vexa- tion at the premature publication or his whereabouts on account of the problem of extradition that now con- fronts the government and the possi- bility of his making good his escape now that the information has become public in advance of the readiness of the authorities to effect his arrest.
 Beavers arrest created no surprise for the government all along has been kept advised of his whereabouts de- spite reports to the contrary.
