Copper River valley, to Tanana river,
thence to Yukon.
Miners hurried into Nazina last
spring, only to find that placer pros

draulic mining on a large scale. Hear
ing of a new strike on the Tanana
river, they started overland. carrying
but small supplies, supposing that pro-

trading posts en- route.
Three miners were rescued from
starvation by Henry Bratnober, who is

FIRED IN THE AIR.
Turkish Version of the Attack Upon
MagelSSen

Washington, Sept. 1.-Chedb Bey
the Turkish minister, has received from
the minister of foreign affairs at Con
stantinople a dispatch giving the Turk
ish version of the reported attempt on
the life of United States Vice Consul
Magelssen at Beirut. 1t was dated
Aug. 80 and originally was sent to the
minister's summer home at Sayvillel
Long Island. After declaring that the
report of the assassination OF Mr.. Ma
gelssen was absolutely false. the dis
patch gives a version of the affair praC-
tically the same as has been told be-
fore in the dispatches from Turkey. Il
says that the pistol was fired by a
man returning from a marriage fete;
that the shot was fired in the air. and
that it happened just as Mr.. Magelssen
was passing in his carriage. This, the
dispatch says, led the vice consul to
believe that an attempt had been made
against his life. The man who did the
shooting already has been delivered to
the judicial authorities. Chekib Bey's
dispatch also asserts that order and
tranquility prevail at Beirut The in
formation contained in the cablegram
has been furnished to United States
Minister Leishman at ConstantinopIa
by the Turkish minister of foreign af-
fairs, and to Secretary Hay by the
Turkish minister here.

TRYING TO MAKE TERMS.
Turks Think They Can Pacify Some
of the Insurgents.

Constantinople, Sept. According to
government advices, Colonel Jankoff.
the insurgent leader, Who with 4
strong following. is operating south
wards of Demotyka, has been entrust-
ed with the task of destroying the larg
er bridges of the railroad running from
Dedeagatch on the south coast, tOJu-
leli Burgas, over the Martha and Arda
rivers, so as to cut off communication
with Adrianople from the south and
delay the troops who are on their way
to the threatened city. The govern
ment believes it has taken measures
which VIII bring about a speedy settle
ment with the insurgent forces COM
manded by Colonel Jankoff. The pal
ace officials were in constant commu-
nication with the allies at Adrianople
throughout Monday formulating plans
to master the situation in the vilayet.
The crowds which witnessed last
nights illuminations here in honor of
the anniversary of the accession of the
sultan were not so large as usual.
The police recently have been exer-
cising great severity toward the Mus
sulmans suspected of melting trouble
in the disturbed vilayets, and have ar
rested and .banished large numbers.
While the Russian squadron was in
Iniatia bay, no less than 142 Mussul-
mans were expelled on account of their
unconcealed hostility to Russia.

wonders of the Vatican.

Rome, Aug. 29.-The negotiations re-
garding the vatican's participation in
the st. Louis exposition, interrupted
by the illness and death of Pope Leo
XIII, have Been resumed. Although
the personal opinion of Pope Plus on
the subject is not known, the vatican
officials think it will be favorable to
the project of having the holy see rep
resented, if officially invited by the
United States government by means of
an invitation similar to those sent to
the European powers Before Pope
Leo died the wish was expressed to
have the late popes jubilee presents
exhibited at the exposition, like those
of the late Queen Victoria, and it was
proposed to send the same ship for
both exhibits. King Edward himself
is said to have proposed sending his
mothers presents, but Pope Leo's
health being at that time precarious,
the vatican authorities feared that If
he died while the jubilee gifts were
away it might create an awkward sit
nation. Now the questions arise
whether with the death of Pope Leo
those presents have not lost their in
terest. and whether something else
would not be better. Many suggestions
on the subject are made, and it is re-
marked that the vatican library alone
has precious works, unique in the
world, besides documents of special in
terest to the United States as being
connected with its history.

ANARCHY REIGNs.
Unspeakable Horrors of the Situation
in Macedonia.

Sofia, Sept. 1.-The Macedonian revo
lutionists awaited the anniversary Of
the sultans accession to proclaim the
long anticipated general insurrection in
northern Macedonia, the proclamation

eral staff The new outbreak is
headed by the famous Macedonian
leaders General Zentchieff, president of
the Macedonian committee, and Colonel

ing of 1907.

habitants of the village of Veleso.
1t is reported that Hilmi Pasha, the
inspector general for Macedonia, re-
fuses to leave his headquarters in the
Konak at Monastir. The lnsurgent
leader Grueff, in a letter to Hilmi
Pasha, demanded that he prevent the
barbarous acts of the Turkish soldiers
and Bashi Bazouks, otherwise the rev.
clutionfsts would massacre all the
Turkish inhabitants. The insurgents

DEPENDS UPON LE1sHMAN.
American Warships May Remain i,
Turkish Waters Some Time.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The admins
tration has come to no decision regard :
ing the disposition to be made of the
American warships which are now sail
ing to Beirut. Whether the Brooklyn
and San Francisco remain in Turkish
waters will depend entirely upon the
report which Minister Leishman makes
concerning the situation in Turkey, and
the necessity which exists for warships
to protect American interests. 1t is
expected that the report of Minister
Leishman will receive the considera-
ton OF the president before any deter
mination is reached. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Leishman's complete report
will reach Washington about the time
of the arrival of the squadron in Turk

STORY DENIED IN TOTO.
Turks Say No Attempt Was Make
Upon Vice-Consul's Life.

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-The porte
has notified Minister Leishman that
| five arrests have been made at Beirut
in connection with the shooting which
led to the report that William c.. Ma
! galssen, the United States vice and
deputy consul there, had been assassin
ated. The Turkish officials continue to
insist that no attempt was made, on
the vice consul's life, and reassert that
the whole story originated in a feu dea
joie fired on the occasion of native
marriage and in accordance with Gus
tom. Mr.. Leishman refuses to accept
such an explanation without conclus-
i've proof and the judicial investigation
continues
The attempt to burn. the American
college at Kharput occurred five weeks
ago, and apparently was the work of
an individual who considered he had a
grievance against the college authori-
ties. When Mr. Leishman was in
formed of the ATTEMPT he demanded
that the porte protect the American
institution. and in consequence of his
representations instructions were sent
, to the authorities to Kharput to try
in the regular courts the charges
against fifty Armenians accused of
trafffcking in arms and engaging in
ether seditiouS acts. Among the ac
cused is Professor Tenekedjian of the
American college, whose treatment in
prison pending his trial was also or
dered to be improved.
Pressing For Settlement.
Mr.. Leishman is pressing for def
mite settlement of 4 number of matters
on which agreements were reached
with the Turks hauthorities last year,
but which. in spite of frequent prom
ises on the part of the porte, have
never been executed. For instance,
naturalized American is still in prison
at Tripoli, Syria, although the porte
has frequently informed Mr.. Leishman
that the authorities at Beirut. who
have Jurisdiction over Tripoli, had been
ordered to liberate him.
Yesterday Mr. Leishman received q
telegram from Rear Admiral Cotton,
dated from Genoa, Italy, Sunday even
ing, announcing that the, United States
warships Brooklyn and San Francisco
would arrive off Beirut at the end OF
the week.
The American officials here attribute
the dispatch of the warships to Turk
ish waters not solely to the Magelssen
affair, but to the general dissatisfac-
ton of the authorities at Washington
at the non-fulfllment of the porte's
promises in regard to pending ques-
tions, and to the determination OF
President Roosevelt to show Turkey
that she cannot trifle with American
representations. Diplomatic circles
here generally approve of the energetic
action of the United States, which, it
is pointed out, is amply justified by
the bad faith of Turkey, and it is felt
here that the appearance of the United
States warships in Turkish waters will
lead to the immediate settlement of the
pending disputes.
Nothing so impresses the porte as a
naval demonstration, and the diplo
mats claim that this will be especially
noticeable in the present case, as the
Americans are not fettered like other
European powers by agreements regu
lating the international political af-
fairs of Turkey.
