BULGARIA MAKES AN APPEAL
TO GREAT EUROPEAN POWERS

Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-THE Bull
garian government has presented
memorandum to tho powers setting out
at great length the condition OF affairs
during the past three months in Mace
donia since the Turkish government
undertook to inaugurate the promised
reforms. The most precise details,
dates, places and names OF persons are
given In the memorandum, the whole
constituting a terrible category OF MUIR
der, torture. incendiarism. pillage and
general oppression committed by the
Ottoman soldiers and officials.
The memorandum begins by stating
that during the past three months the
Ottoman government has taken a Sc
ries of measures with the alleged inten-
ton Of inaugurating the era of prom
ised reform and Of assuring peace and
tranquility to the Bulgarian popula-
ton OF European Turkey, but which
have had the contrary effect Of further
exasperating this population and reviv-
ing the revolutionary movement. In
stead of proceeding solely against per-
sons guilty of breaches of the public
order, the military and civil authorities
have sought every possible pretext to
prosecute. terrorize and ruin the Bull
garian Inhabitants. alike in the large
cities and in the small villages. Whole
sale massacres. individual murders, the
destruction OF villages. the pillaging
and setting fire to houses. the arrests,
Ill treatment, tortures. arbitrary i'm

noticed that the seeds in the bloom
end are very much smaller than In the
middle of the melon the same as the
grains in the tip OF an ear Of corn are
smaller than In the middle. A good
and safe plan is to select one melon as

stock up to perfection.-Field 4 Farm.

schools, the running Of merchants, the
collection of taxes for many years in
advance-such, proceeds the memoran-
dunn, are the facts of the Ottoman ad-
ministration of Monastir. Uskub and
Adrianople.
The memorandum next relates in de-
tail a number of such cases in each
vilayet. Beginning with the vilayet OF
Salonica, 1t states that in the town of
Salonica itself the Bulgarian professors
of the university. the students and
shopkeepers, in fact, all the intelligent
Bulgarians in the city, have been cast
into prison. One hundred and twenty
soldiers entered the village Of Gorna-
Ribnitea May 18th and tortured to
death five men and two women.
During the first three weeks OF July,
twenty-five villages in the district of
Tikvesch were subjected to the depre-
dations of the Turkish soldiers and
bashi-bazouks. The villagers were beat
en- and tortured, the women violated
and the houses plundered, while the
administrative authorities took no ac-
ton.
Then follows a long list Of atrocities
Of the most terrible character.
The memorandum has made a strong
impression in diplomatic circles. The
Austrian diplomatic agent has already
called upon the premier to express his
anxiety regarding the results that may
ensue from its publication. The French
and Italian agents also expressed un-
easiness. although they took a less
gloomy view.

FIERCE BATTLE
WITH STRIKERS

Wheeling. w. Va. Aug. 16.-A clash
occurred early to-day between the
striking machinists and about twenty
five non-union men who took their
places In the Riverside plant of the
United States Steel Corporation. The
battle was started Saturday night. De-
spite the fact that more than 1000
shots were fired there were no fatali-
ties and only a few persons were
wounded.
The mnchinists have been on o
strike for several weeks and the situ-
alton was becoming critical for the cor
poration until they imported about
about twenty men. The strikers last
night attacked the boarding houses Of
the non-unionists. The houses were
heavily barricaded and many volleys
were fired into the structures. Finally
well-directed shot fom within the
house wounded one of the strikers, and
he was carried away. Clay Hoover, a
spectator. was also shot in the knee.
A number OF other persons VINO were In
the building with the non-unionists re-
ceived wounds.
Tonight the strikers. who are lying
in the hills. fired on Peter Silatek, who
was passing that point, the strikers
mistaking him for a spy. The man
was seriously wounded.

Twenty-nine passengers were injured
in the Rio Grande wreck at Nathrop
last night caused by the collapse Of
bridge. and two trainmen in the wreck

Nearly all the passengers injured in
the Rio Grande wreck were able to
proceed west on their trips. and the
pital are recovering rapidly. None is
seriously injured, say the physicians.
To-day the railroad company COM
pleted a temporary bridge and track
ming tonight on time. 1t has been rain
ing hard again to-day. and In places
the storm was waterspout. which has
caused the railroads to put extra gangs
Of trackwalkers and repairers out to
avoid another disaster.
That more were not injured in the
collapse of the bridge at Nathrop seems
miraculous. as 243 passengers were on
the train and the two coaches that
we're wrecked were crowded.
Assistance was hurried to the scene,
the wrecking crew at Minturn not wait
ing for orders when 1t heard of the ac-
cident, while both from Buena Vista
and Salida doctors and nurses were
rushed of on special trains. as 1t was
reported that many had been killed

hospital and the injured as soon as
cared for temporarily were placed in

ters Of the creek rushing near the
wrecked cars, families were separated
and friends lost In the tumult. and the
wreck seemed worse than 1t afterward
proved to be.
The wreck on the Colorado & South
ern was caused by a landslide which
was started by the same cloudburst and
was only q short distance from the
scene Of the Rio Grande accident. The
two trainmen were caught in the
wreckage, but will recover from their
injuries. The engine and nve cars
were ditched.

New York, Aug. 16-Joseph Pulitzer
has provided 100000 tA establish a
school of journalism at Columbia Uni
versity, this city.
A new building for the school will be
erected on Morningside Heights at q
cost of $500.000 for the school, which
will hold toward the university a rela-
ton similar to that Of other profess
sional schools, the law school, the
school Of medicine and the school OF
mines, and like them, will be national
In scope.
An important feature Of the organi-
xation of this school will be an advis-
ory board, nominated by the donor,
which will aid in devising plan and
course Of instruction.
Seven members of this advisory
board have already been named and
with others to be elected, will be nom-
mated by the trustees of Columbia
University at their meeting in October
They are: Nicholas Murray Butler
president Of Columbia University, ex-
oficio; Whitelaw Reid, John Hay, sec
Andrew D. White, Victor F. Lawson OF
Chicago; Charles H. Taylor Of Boston
and Charles w. Eliot, president Of Har-
ward University.
In making announcement OF Mr..
Pulitzer's gift, the World says:
"At the time of the last census there
were in the United States 141 900 law
yers and 30.908 persons classed as Jour-
nalists. The legal profession was pro-
vided with trained recruits by 100 law
schools, with 1,106 professors and in
structors. For fair proportion there
should have been at least twenty-six
colleges of journalism with faculties
291 strong.
There was not one. Not a single

MINE AT CLIFTON.

An order has been placed by the Standard Copper mines for lumber for ore bins and the tramway. The aerial tramway has long ;;ince been ordered and it's arrival is expected at any time.

 J. G. Hopkins, of Virginia, a director Of the A. c. company, and D. W. Camp bell. of Chicago, large stockholder Of the same company, arrived in Clifton last week. Mir. Hopkins is an old time resident of Clifton, and always receices a hearty welcome from his many friends.
 Frank Weaver, one of the best min CTS of the Greenlee district, left yes terday morning for Galena, Kansas, to consult his partners in regard to putting in air drills for development work Frank has been driving a tun mel to cut the leads on his claims, which he states is 300 feet lower than the Durham tunnel. which, if driven on through the mountain would open up that section of the camp to great depth. He finds hand driving entirely too slow. He is backed in his enterprise by good peo- ple. and on his return will make things hum.
 A new strike of great importance was made in the lower workings of the AnteIam mine last week. The main shaft has been going down in high grade sulphides which would av- craze 10 to 15 per cent. which was highly satisfactory. At the 40 level cross cut was run to the hanging wall where several feet of 30 per cent glance and also native copper was struck. It is the first native copper of any considerable amount yet struck in the mine. Native copper was struck some weeks ago by Captain Albuckie on the Keystone. which adjoins the Antetam,

FIRST COPPER IN ARIZONA.

The first copper made in Arizona was turned out of an adobe furnace at the Longfellow mine, Clifton, in 1873. The nearest railroad point was 500 miles distant at that time. Copper is now found more or less in every county within the boundary lines of Arizona, and it's output will in the next few years crowd both Montana and Michigan for first place.
