SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 16.-Prince Fer
dinand of Bulgaria arrived here to-day
from Euxinograd. A semi-official state
ment just issued says:
The news received here of the atrocities
daily committed by Turkish soldiers passes
the bounds OF Imagination. The general opin-
ion is that every village Will be entirely de-
populated OF the Christian element.
Further letters from Monastir report
that fighting has occurred at Kaimaclila
between Turkish troops and $50 insurgents
under the leaders Tan and Aloko. The
result is not yet known.
Turkish soldiers have raided the estate
of one of the Sultans bodyguard, Sefulo
Bey. at Sturbola Presta, pillaging twenty
six Bulgarian houses, attacked the women
and taking 1900 sheep.
About 200 refugees from the burned vii
lage of Dyavita have mysteriously disap-
peared. They are believed to have been

Lane Dies From Frac-
ture Of Skull.

Patrolman James D. McLane of Com
pany A of the local police department
received Injuries by falling from a Cali
fornia-street car yesterday that resulted
In his death a few hours afterwards.
According to the story of Conductor

slipped from the step of the car on which
he was standing, was thrown to the pave
ment and fractured his skull. He was
removed to his home, 2029 Steiner street,
where surgical aid was rendered. but the
concussion was too great and death came
just before midnight last night.
McLane reported for duty at the Cen
tral Police Station Tuesday night at
eleven o'clock. He was detailed on the
office watch and served until about seven
O'Clock yesterday morning. After report
ing off he boarded California-street car
NO. 2S and started for his home. On the
way out he stood on the rear dummy and
engaged in conversation with Conductor
Cummings. When Van Ness avenue was
reached the policeman in some manner
missed his footing and fell backward to
the pavement. He was unconscious when
picked UP and was conveyed on the next
car to his home and DR.. j. Fottrell sum-
moned.
All day surgeons worked in an effort to
save the mans life but to avail and
last night he passed away. Deceased was
young man and resided with his par
ents. He was an excellent officer and
had the respect of his superiors as well
as his brother officers. He has been as
signed to various beats throughout the
city since his appointment and his last
was on California and Pine streets from
Mason to Larkin. No arrangements have
yet been made for the funeral.

ROBBER TAKES
Boys SAVINGS
Poses as Friend and
Commits Theft While
Youth Sleeps.

Frank r. Mills, a 16-year-old boy, was
robbed of a pittance Of money which he
had saved while crossing the continent in
Bush-street lodging-house last night
The theft was committed by stranger,
who gave the name of Patrick Malloy and
who did his petty work under the guise Of
friendship for the lad. When young Mills
discovered the theft he rushed half naked
into the street, screaming for police as
sstance and was nearly crazed over his
loss Officers Heinz and Holmes spent
several hours looking for the thief.
Young Mills arrived from New York
but two days ago. On the journey out ne
managed to save about s14 and hoped this
amount would provide for him until he
could secure employment. Last evening
he met the man who gave the name of
Malloy and the latter offered to secure
employment for him to-day. Malloy took
the boy to a lodging-house at All Bush
street and young Mills, weary from
walking about the streets all day was
soon asleep. At midnight he awakened
and found his companion gone Suspect
ing something wrong, he searched for his
money and found it also missing. With
out waiting to dress he rushed to the
street and shouted for help. With the
crowd came a policeman, who took the
boy in charge, and with Patrolman
Holmes started out to find Mallov. A
search of Barbary Coast was made. but
the culprit was not caught.

THE M'KINNoN MEMORIAL
Committee Receives Strong Support
and Plans Entertainments in
Aid Of Cause.

A meeting of the McKinnon memorial
committee was held last night at 21 Page
street, Colonel Thomas O'Neils IN the
chair. The chairman stated that owing
TO the recent reception to President
Roosevelt and the Grand Army Encamp-
ment which followed. the committee
thought 1t better to hold the movement
for the memorial in abeyance for a while.
He said that now it had concluded to
gather funds and interest organizations
and the public in the matter Of a suit
able monument In honor of the late Faith
er McKinnon.
1t was also stated that General James
F. Smith had already sent a liberal dOna-
tion to the committee and that several
banks had also contributed. From Sac
ramentO, where an entertainment had
been given to aid the cause, a substantial
check had been received.
1t is intended to have an entertainment
in every large city OF the State. by which
it is expected the fund would be largely
augmented. 1t was also stated that Cap
tain Kelleher and the Rev. Father Fl. W.
l. Reaney have taken up the matter OF

tones MAY WAR
OVER A WOMAN
Suey Lew Said to Be
a Victim Of Chico
Conspirators.

Chinatown has more trouble. Last night
Suey Lew, a woman who resides in Baker
alley, was arrested and taken to Chico
and the warrant on which she was taken
is said to have been sworn out for no
other purpose than to wrest the woman
from the clutches of her friends and then
to kidnap her.
The transaction on its face seems moth
ing more than the old trick of a trumped
up charge and Is likely to end in war be-
tween the Suey Dun Tong, of which she
is a member. and the Hop Sing Tong
which, 1t is alleged, caused her arrest.
She Is accused of grand larceny commit
ted a few days ago In Chico and her
friends and many who know her in Chi
natown will swear that she has not been
out of this city within the last three
years. 1t is said that the Hop Sings in
Chico have been endeavoring for some
time to secure possession of the girl and.
failing in other ways, resorted to the
warrant trick to get her within the
bounds of their own camp. The warrant
was brought to this city by Constable
Heidman and with the assistance of De-
tective Gibson it was served last evening
shortly before the Oregon Express de-
parted from the mole. In this manner
the woman's friends were given no op-
portunity to come to her assistance to
interview her or to furnish bonds. After
she reaches Chico she will appear before
a magistrate and, 1t is probable. the
charges will be found to be false Then.
after her release. she Will be Kidnapped
and hidden from her city friends
The arrest has caused much talk in
Chinatown and the Suey Duns have an
nounced their intention of declaring war
against the Hop Sings

Republican Delegates
Have No Slate to
Consult.
Convention Free to Select
Strongest Man for the
Office.

The delegates to the Republican con-
vention will assemble again at the Al
hambra Theater next Wednesday evening.
1t is expected that the convention viii
give ample time to the consideration OF
the reports from the committees on plat
form and order Of business. Nominations
may not be reached at the second session.
The number Of aspirants in the field for
the various offices indicates active con-
tests.
There are signs OF a fight between Cen
eral E. S. Solomon and ex-senator Frank
MCGOWAN for the District Attorneyship.
The announcement in yesterdays Call
that Charles S. Laumeister had entered
the race as a candidate for the nOmina-
ton for Assessor caused no little COM
ment in political circles. Washington
Dodge, who is slated for denomination by
the manager of the Democratic cOnven-
tiOn, expects the Endorsement Of the I'm
ion Labor party, but this expectation may
not be realized.
The Union Labor delegates are not man
ifesting any desire to help out the Demo-
Gratis in this campaign. II Dodge fails

may get the nomination for Mayor. The
contest for the mayOralty nomination in
the Republican convention is open to all
cOmers. There is no slate or programme.
General George Stone has many ardent
supporters, who maintain that the Re-
publicans all along the line would cheer
fully support him. General Shafter also
has active and earnest supporters who
assert that his nomination would be
equivalent to his election. The supporters
Of Henry j. CrOcker are enterprising and
confident. They assert that he is pOp-
ular, well known and thoroughly fitted for
the office. 1t is a sure thing that the
candidate for Mayor on the Republican
ticket will be chosen by the delegates to

III
which assembled recently at Turk
street Temple and nominated Eu-
gene f Schmitz for Mayor. reas-
sembled last night at Pioneer Hall on
Fourth street and resumed the work of
placing a municipal ticket in the field.
The delegates were entertained By a
speech from Orator Tom Eagan, who
arose to a question of of privilege and
hurled back at Orator Tom Hickey,
chairman of the Democratic Convention,
some insults which the latter hurled at
the Labor party last Monday evening. 1t
is quite evident that the labor leaders are
not looking for any support in this cam
paign from the Gavin -McNab end of the
poor old Democratic party. Also it is OBJ
vious, according to the trend of Hickey
rhetoric, that the McNab Democrats are
not expecting much help from the
Schmitz wing Of the Labor party.
1t was significantly remarked last night
by the Labor conventions nominee for
Public Administrator that he was a friend
of Michael Casey and thaI he hoped Casey
would get in behind the ticket. The SEN
timent was applauded by several dele
gates. Philosophers say that hope is the
medicine of the unhappy and therefore
the inference is deducted that those who
hope for the second coming of Casey are
not quite happy.
