MICHIGAN MAN TO
FIGHT FOR MACEDONIA
Gen. Stephaoff Tells of the Coming
War With Turkey.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 12.-
Gen. Basil Stephanoff, of this city,
has been summoned to Macedonia to
take part in the war of his country
men against the Turks. Gen. Steph-
anoff says that unless European pow
ers intervene successfully an immense
force will take the field in May or
June.
There will be an army of from 300,-
600 to 100000 Macedonians, while other
nat1onalitieS have promised help. 1t ID
expected that $4,000 followers of Carl
baldi will go from Italy and help is also
expected from the Irish. Gen. Steph-
anoff says that his countrymen are
well prepared for war.
Unless previous negotiations are sue
cessful, he says, he expects that in the
early summer the sultan of Turkey
will take the symbolic steps which
mark the beginning of a Moslem cru
sade against the Christians of all ma
tlonalities. Should the sultan don the
mantle of Mohammed and should the
scepter be brought from Mecca, it's
present abiding place, all Mohammed-
ans will begin to massacre every Chris
tan who can be found.
Gen. Stephanoff says that guerrilla
warfare is already being carried on. but
that the great uprising will await the
call of the national society This So
ciety consists of about 100000 mem
bers of the Bulgarian, Macedonian,
Roumanian nationalities
ROME, Feb. 12.-Italy was fully con-
suited in the course of the Lamsdorff-
Goluchowski conference on Macedonia
and promised to support the proposed
action. The scheme for reforms in
cludes demand for the assembling Of
an international congress to adjust the
details. This will be supported by a
demonstration of European warships
off Salonica, where they will remain
While the congress is in session. Or
ders have been given to the Austrian

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 12-
Fourteen battalions of Redifs (emerg-
ency militia) of the Third army corps,
whose headquarters are at Salonica,
have been ordered to join the colors.
According to an official statement these
troops are intended to replace the re-
serve battalions called out to quell the
Macedonian outbreak last autumn.
The latter are still under arms and it
is generally believed that they will
be kept with the 'colors.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Feb. 12-
The nursing staff at the Fergus Falls
state hospital is opposed to the plan
for removing the state hospitals for
the insane from the management of
the board of control and quite strenu-
ously opposed to the pending bill to
reduce the working day of nurses to
eight hours.
A committee of four, representing
both the male and female nurses Of
the hospital, laid their plans before
the joint house and senate committee
on insane hospitals this afternoon
They are the first state employees to
declare against the proposed shorter
work day and the very first to go on
record as favOring the board of con-
troll.
The legislative party of eighty, fill
ing two special Great Northern sleep
ers, arrived in Fergus Falls early this
morning. After breakfast the party
was taken to the hospital. Luncheon
followed a thorough inspection of the
wards and then the joint commission
held an open meeting to listen to the
suggestions of Supt. WEIGH and give
the nurses hearing. : 2 tSy
Supt. WEIGH outlined the needs
of the hospital for the ensuing
biennial period the current Expense es-
innate is approximately 100000, or
the same as for the present period. A
dormltory for the nurses is considered
an absolute necessity and the present
contract for water is Unsatisfactory.

and left for hours without. any protec-
ton against fire. The nurses dorni-
tory planned is tWo-stoTy brick struc-
ture to cost complete about $4,000.
d Inc water plant is es tirnated at $780,
000. There is building balance Of
about $4,000, which would reduce the
appropriation to about $4,000. The
members of the committee favor the
dormltory, as the nurses are now
crowded in the wards Withstlle patients
and their health jeopardized.
2 The attitude of the nurses was a
complete surprise to a majority of the
legislators. They said that instead Of
shortening the work day and enlarging
the nursing staff they would prefer an
increase in salary and sufficient to at
tract desirable employees and an in
crease of half holidays, which now oc-
cur only. oncecin two weeks
Z Thelr attitude on the board Of con-
troll question was so different from
that of employees of other Institutions
mat, more than surprise was evinced
that the board of control had wiped
out the local purchasing system, which
resulted in, giving them better food,
and that they now enjoy privileges not
afforded them by the local board.

Robbery Occurs Near Butte
Safe Blown Up and
Looted.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 12.-Sheriff
Quinn is convinced that the robbers OF
the Burlington flyer No. 6, which was
held up six miles outside of the city
limits this morning, reached Butte and
are now in hiding in the city,. From
evidence Quinn says he has he declares
that he will land the robbers before
several days have elapsed. The sher-
If, it is believed, relies finding the
rubber-t1red carriage used by the hold
ups in their escape. The tracks of the
men could be easily followed this
morning until the well travelled high
ways of the city were reached. A mask
and empty cartridge shell dropped by
the ROBBERS are in the hands of the po-
lice. Bloodhounds brought from the
penitentiary this morning proved a
failure and were returned to Deer
Lodge tonight.
Fireman Jondrow said the train was
stopped by bits of burning paper and
that within thirty-fve minutes the
robbers had finished their work and
were on their way to Butte. He was
forced to uncouple the engine, mail and
express cars from the remainder of the
train and carry the dynamite of the
robbers while one of the bandits fired
bullet beneath his legs to hurry him.
various estimates are made as to
the booty secured by the robbers 1t
is intimated in some quarters that the
loss will run into the thousands despite
the assertion of the railroad people
that not more than $500 was taken.
William Gullagh was placed under
arrest this afternoon on suspicion of
being one of the robbers. The robbers
fired two charges of dynamite, blowing
the safe to pieces and wrecking the ex-
press car. 1t is said that several mail
pouches were rif1ed
A railway mail clerk was shot by the
hold-ups. 1t is not thought that his
wound is serious.
There is evidence that the hold-up
was done by two robbers. After the
express messenger threw the package
of money up in the rack he jumped out
of the car on the other side. In the
exchange Of shots he is said to have
been hit by bullet in the hip, but was
not hurt badly enough to cause him
to return to Butte.
The Northern Pacific Railway com
pany has offered a reward of $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction of the rob-
hers.

SERVES I3 YEARS
AND WANTS PAY
Miller Putsi in Claim to Being
the Most Patient Man
on Earth.

Charles j. Miller, Of 2104 James ave-
nue., is a philosopher of parts. For
thirteen years he has been in the en-
pIoy of the Barr Cash and Package
Carrier Company OF Mansfield, Ohio
and in that time he has sold goods to
the amount of $4,000 for the firm Not
one dollar of remuneration has he ever
received for his labor, he says, and
now after so long a wait he has de-
cided to invoke the aid of the law to
collect his dues.
Miller sues for $4,O6S50. This he con-
ceiVes to be his just compensation for
money earned, for repeated efforts to
get paid, for stamps used and for
mental wear and tear involved in the
prosecution of his rights.
Miller signed his original contract
with the firm in 1870, and he says the
contract calls for a commission on all
sales. He has repeatedly written the
firm for settlement, without any
financial result, and having been so
long IN the employ of the corporation
he felt that there would be a settle
ment in full some time or other. so
forebore to begin suit over his claims.
Late negotiations with the firm have
convinced him that if he is ever to get
paid for his long service it will be
through due process of law, and so
being man of logical mind he &C

him. Papers have been served on mem

company now wants to settle with
Miller on his own terms, but that the
later, being of so logical a mental
make up and witha1 a man or prin-
ciple, refuses to consider any com
promise whatever.
1t is understood that the firm made
defendant in this curious case is in a
good way of business and perfectly
able to square its accounts with the
Minneapolis agent, wherefore the tHaI
