The Powers Will Take Action.
(By the ASSOCIATED Press


London, Sept $50 threatening is the
Macedonian situation that the powers are
being forced to take action sooner than it
had heretofore believed would be neces-
sary. Before adopting any definite scheme
Tor the pacification of the Balkans it was
intended to wait until the Cars visit to
vienna, when the matter was to be dis
cussed fully. Emperor Francis Joseph, it
is now learned, has, by recent exchange
OF views, brought the powers to a stage
where decision is about to be reached
regarding the character of the intervention
winch should be adopted While the pro-
posed plans are not divulged, it is author
ltatively denied that the intervention con
templates the occupation of Macedonia by
austria and Russia. 1t is equally certain
that the powers have no intention of act
ing SO as to in any way encourage Bull
garia to declare war.

agree IN the statement that order prevails

TO RELIEVE ct LOUIS BANKS.
Secretary shaw Explains the Method Adopted
by the Government
(By the Associated Press }

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Secretary Shaw was
In Chicago today on his way to Dead
wood, S. D., to attend the meeting of the
American Mining Congress. 1t was un.
derstood that he had taken action to
relieve the st. Louis banks from the
strain incident to expenditures on &C
count OF the st. Louis Purchase Expo
sition. Asked as to what action he had
taken, Secretary Shaw said:
1.-THE banks at st. Louis have ad-
vanced directly probably three millions OF
the ten millions expended upon the ex-
position grounds and buildings, and in
directly nearly the entire amount. In
addition to this they have advanced two
or three millions to concessionaires. They
are now facing the annual demand for
money to move the crops in the Southwest
and are shipping out from 5000, 900 to
$S00,000 per day. The government in a
certln sense has accepted a co-partner-
ship interest In the exposition. At least
1t has appropriated $5,000000 to aid the
exposition, This is available only to meet
the current expenditures To relieve the
present situation, i have arranged to de-
poslt two and one half millions in the
banks at St. Louis.
This would be of no advantage to the
banks If they were compelled to purchase
government bonds as security therefor
They have tried to borrow the bonds but
they are not available. In order to as
slst the banks such securities as the
banks can furnish must be acceptaed
The banks can furnish such securities
as the legislature of New York has ap-
proved for savings banks; and | have
agreed to accept the same as security Tor
the two and and one half millions at
fifty per cent of their par value. In
other words the banks will deposit five
millions of State and municipal bonds
such as New York approves as security
for money belonging to widows and or
phans. And upon this five millions the
government will deposit two and one
half millions This, however, Is intended
As a temporary loan and will be gradually
recalled as the five millions appropriated
is expended The banks designated to
receive $5O0,O00 each are the State Ma
tional Third National, Fourth National,
National Bank of Commerce and Mer-
chants Laclede National"

Uncle Sam is Not Disturbed.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Sept. Sit is evident the
United States government does not share
any apprehension that may be felt in some
quarters that there is danger for the lega-
tions in Constantinople The Berlin dis
patch regarding the action of the Turkish
governments notification to the foreign
representatives is taken here to be the an
nouncement first made to the ministers
by the Porte, and which, as indicated in
the dispatch of Minister Leishman, meant
that the interior or personnel of the lega-
tons could not be protected from those
VINO might gain entrance and commit
some outrage. Minister Leishman has not
asked for marines, nor has he given any
indication that they will be needed The
matter of sending either the Brooklyn or
San Francisco to a point nearer the Dar-
danelles has not been considered, and the
fact that Minister Leishman has made no
suggestion is taken to mean that he does
not think such action necessary at pres
ent. While Admiral Cotton has reported
his arrival at Beirut he has not sent any
communication as to the condition exist
ing there and the further movement of the
squadron depends entirely upon the re-
ports which Minister Leishman and Ad
miral Cotton make to their respective de-
partments.
1t is known here that Russia and Aus
tria are two of the countries that have
landed marines to guard their legations at
Constantinople. ther countries have sta
tion ships there, and it is possible that
they also have sent additional guards to
the legations.

TIE TEMPERANCE CAMPA1GE.
Hon, 8. s. Mcintyre Shows Robeson's Growth
Under Prohibition.
Especial to News and observer)


Scotland Neck, N. c., Sept 5.--Last
night Hon. Stephen D. Mcintyre, of Lum
berton, addressed a large audience in
Futrills Opera House on the subject of
Temperance and prohibition. The pro
hibition fight is waxing warmer and
warmer here every day. and in answer to
the argument of the liquor people that
prohibition will hurt business and hinder
prosperity, the prohibitionists asked Mr..
Mcintyre to speak here, because he lives
in a prohibition county. His address last
night was masterful and entirely convinc-
ing that prohibition against the liquor
traffic, not only does not hurt business,
but helps it.
Robson county has been under prohib.
ton for ten years and Mr.. Mcintyre
showed conclusively that it has greatly
helped the towns of Lumberton, Maxton
and the entire county
When prohibition was secured for the
county, Lumberton had twenty three bar
rooms and Maxton nearly as many, and
the buildings in Lumberton were wooden
buildings. Now they are of brick, hand
some and fine and would do credit to a
city
He showed that Robson county was
the first county in the State to secure
prohibition, and now from Charlotte to
Wilmington there is only one county that
is not under prohibition. If prohibition
was such a bad thing why did the neigh
boring counties to Robson get it as soon
as they could after Robson led off?
He declared that prohibition does pro-
hibit, and said that the men of back
bone in Scotland Neck can see that the
law of prohibition is enforced here if we
get it.
The cause of temperance is growing
stronger in BERTHE and Hertford counties.

LITERARY "COMERS'
Hamilton w. Mabie's Optimistic
View of Americans in Literature.

It was an optimistic note that Hamilton
w. Mabie sounded last night in his lee
ture at Plymouth church on American
Society and Literature.'
Americans are now writing the best his
tory and the best biography, the best de-
scription Of ourselves that has yet been
done. The truest and most representative
fiction ever produced in this country is
being written to-day. So declared this
foremost of American critics.
: Much of the lecture was devoted to
sympathetic review Of American develop
ment in literature, in which he found
much to praise and much to excuse. In
his opinion, our great fault has been too
much self consciousness. The art has
been too evident, and there has been too
little of the power that comes from plain
telling of life experiences We have not
yet risen to the height attained by the
Greeks, but they had lived as distinct
people for thousand years before their
national life came to 50 noble an express
sion. America, with her diverse people,
spread over SO vast a territory, could not
develop such a spirit in ESQ years, but
it may come at any time. Even now
there may be struggling for expression a
voice that will be heard on the plateau
Of the Rockies and the coast of the Pa
cific, as well as on the Mississippi and
by the waters of the Atlantic, voice that
will express the power and majesty Of
our national life with epic grandeur. -
Mr.. Mabie spoke with appreciation Of
the late Frank Norris, saying that he dis
covered the possibilities of an epic in the
apparently prosaic material Of wheat, and
before his death wrote two powerful nov
els of his trilogy, which were full Of the
crudities of young author but showed
great insight and dramatic force.
