SOFIA Sept 1s.-The Albanian and
Turkish troops In the vilayet Of Adriano-
pie appear TO be pursuing their usual tao
tics OF burning and plundering the vii
iages and killing the peasants. instead Of
making an attempt to break up the in
surgent bands Very little news is filter
Ing through from MOnastir, but all re-
ports agree that the position Of the
Christians is desperate. The Turks are
making clean sweep Of the whole Bull
garian element.
The Albanian soldiers in the vilayet of
Adrianople are said to be entirely beyond
control. At Kostursco the influential
beys complained 70 the officers Of the ex-
cesses committed by the troops. The Of
ncers resented the criticism and told the
soldiers that the beys were friends of the
revolutionaries, whereupon the soldiers
burned the beys' farms.
The Turks have burned the villages Of
Almagfk and Orikler, IN the district of
Losengrad. They beheaded twenty-five
Bulgarians az AImagik In the presence Of
their families.
Twelve thousand troops are assembled
around MaI1otonovi and are engaged in
pillaging and burning the villages. The
population everywhere is fleeing to the
forests and mountains. All the Turkish
population in the district of Losengrad
plundered the villages en- route, robbed
the churches and burned the village OF
Korakej.
Another body OF Albanians going TO
Vasiliko, on the Black Sea, was attacked
by a band and Is reported to have suf-
fered loss OF 100 men
A band led by the insurgent chief
Atamsoff was surrounded by Turkish
troops at Kokusho. After six hours
lighting the insurgents cut their way
through the soldiers by throwing bombs.
The Turks lost twenty men.
The final arrangements for a revoIu-
tionary outbreak in Eastern Macedonia
have been completed. but for some mex
piicalble reason the rising hangs fire.
The whole district is divided into six
sections, the insurgents being under the
following leaders: General Zontcheff.
Colonel Yankoff. Captain Jordan Stoya-
ron and Ldeutenants Stoyantchef, Oar
vlngof and Atamson.

purpose of disconcerting the authorities
as to the nature OF the assassin's real
motive. According to Mrs. Kuhnle's
statement the conduct of the assassin
w-s not that which might be expected
from bandit intent solely on robbery
1t is believed here that some former
employe on the Kuhnle property who had
been discharged allowed his resentment to
get the better Of his reason and satisfied
his desire for revenge by playing success
fully the role Of the midnight assassin.
This. however. is not much more than
conjecture. but in the light Of distress
ingly inadequate Developments it serves
the purpose OF the hour.
Shortly before u o'clock tonight Sheriff
WINS reported that a number OF valuable
clews had been found. but that the as
sassin had not yet been located. One of
the members Of the posse is on the way
back to town from the mountains, and
it is hoped that he may bring with him
news of the capture or the surrounding
of the murderer.
Mrs. Kuhnle said tonight that when the
assassin stepped out of the brush and
ordered her husband to alight from the
buggy his voice was husky and his enun-
citation so indistinct that she thought the
command was addressed to her. She
started to leave the vehicle but was told
by the desperate that the man. and not
the woman. was the person wanted.
Then my husband got out of the bug
gy," she said. "and the stranger told him
to walk to the rear. He didn't obey, but
tried to make his way to the front Soon
1 heard a shot. and then two more"
The people here are very much excited
over the assassination and are convinced
that 1t was not the work Of the common
place road agent. Threats to lynch the
assassin if he be captured are being made
by some indignant citizens.

WAR WILL BE DECLARED.
Bulgaria May Have Servia's Aid IN
Fighting Turkey.


LONDON, Sept 14.-Rumor, from Wen
IA and elsewhere, is very busy this morn
ing regarding the Balkan crisis, and while
* is impossible to confirm the more SEN
sational statements there is an accumu-
lauon Of evidence that some violent solu-
tion cannot long be delayed.
The Sonia correspondent Of the Daily
Telegraph sends under Sundays date an
other dispatch warmly defending Bulga-
ria's patient and Quixouc attitude Of
loyalty toward the Porte and the powers
and denouncing Europe's indifference 10
the wiping out Of a large Christian COM
munity. He says:
Bulgaria has displayed unexampIed
moderation. Her last urgent request to
the powers was that they should compel
Turkey 10 suppress the rising by legiti-
mate methods OF warfare, but to spare
women and children from indignities and
massacre.
But even this Christian Europe has re-
fused and now Prince Ferdinand's gov
eminent, having carefully considered the
question and being aware of the disas-
trous consequences with which the pow
ers threaten Bulgaria If she intervenes,
has decided that she can no longer neglect
her sacred duty to prevent the Christian
people being done to death. In a couple
OF days more the die will be cast and Bull
garia will do her duty.
IAN unofficial communication will be
made to the powers along these lines. and
forthwith the necessary measures will be
taken. and countermanded only If the
powers Immediately intervene. This is
Bulgaria's last word. The moral RESPONSE
bilfty viii fall upon Christian Europe,
even il the material consequences have to
be endured by Bulgaria"
A dispatch from Constantinople to the
Stanoaro says large forces are being col
Iected to the north and northwest Of Con-
stantinople. where, in the event Of war,
the first lighting is expected to occur, and
although illusions TO any plan of cam
psign is strictly censured, it may be as
sumed that German advice during recent
years has not left Turkey unprepared.
From Vienna comes the semi-ofhcial
statement that Austria has again pro
posed to the powers TO admonish Bull
garia. but that so far nothiL- has come
Of the proposition. The Neuse Poster
Journal, often well informed. accuses
Russia Of openly assisting the Macedon-
ian revolutionists, even sending them
arms. her object being gradually TO ex-
clude Austria form influence in Balkan af-
fairs. The paper even alleges that the
Austrian Government has asked Count
LamsdOrff, the Russian Foreign Minister,
TO explain this ambiguous dealing.

factions.

the unveiling exercises, at which Premier
Combes, in the course of a long speech,
predicted that the time was not distant
when the peasants of Brittany would
shake off the yoke of the clergy. He de-
Tended the policy of the Government, say
ing he had only to repeat the history of
the last few months in order to demon
strate that the clergy had persistently
violated the law, supported the un-
authorized congregations in their rebellion
against the civi! authorities and stirred
up the population to religious war.

ASO ROBLES. Sept 13.-The
assassination of Charles p.
Kuhnle, a wealthy German
farmer, on the road about
- seven miles from this town
last night has aroused the
popuIace to a pitch Of excitement and
the authorities to a degree Of activity
scarcely ever paralleled IN San Luis
Obispo County.
ConstabIes are searching the hills in
every direction. The Sheriff and his as
sistants are directing the vigorous man
hunt and there seems no possible chance
that the murderer can very long elude
his numerous pursuers. 1t IS reported
that bIoodhounds may be used to track
the fugitive If they can be obtained in
time.
The men now in chase Of the mansiayer
are Sheriff WINS OF San Luis ObispO
County, Deputy Sheriff AdcFadden. Con-
stable Gano Of Paso Robles and Marshal
Pierce Of Paso RobIes. When the news
of the murder reached San Luis Obispo
the Sheriff hurried to the scene with his
deputy. He made a careful investigation
of everything connected with the mysteri-
Gus crime and then set out in the direction
Of a point where. according to reports, he
entertained a hope Of intercepting the
assassin.
MYSTERY OF MOTIVE.
The motive for the crime is involved in
mystery. The authorities appear TO be
satisfied that Kuhnle was not killed for
the money he had in his pocket when he
was riding to his home with his wife. 1t
is true that his purse was taken from
him, but the Sheriff is inclined to be-
neve that this was done merely for the

and other personages. The memorial took
the form of a bronze statue representing
Renan seated in a characteristic attitude.
while behind stands a golden figure of

Among the decorations around the statue
were ornamental notices inscribed "Vive
Renan," Long live free thought" etc,
which particularly incensed the Catholics
The latter arranged for an expiatory ser

at the same hour as the unveilinK of the

the route taken by the Premier, and the
two hostile parties raised cries and coun-

drown the voices of the speakers with
shouts of Down with Renan." Down

One of the revolutionary chiefs has

The banner of revolution, my infor-

border districts. Every city and viii
'lage, whether the inhabitants are
friends or foes, will be destroyed and
such a state of anarchy will be caused
that the Turks will step out voluntarily

Prominent Men Speakers at Emmett
Celebration.
Chicago, Sept. 2O.-At the Auditorium
tonight a huge meeting under the au-
spices of the United Irish Societies of
Chicago adopted resolutions declaring
that no settlement of the Irish ques-
ton short Of national indepandence
will satisfy the aspirations of the
Irish people.
The occasion for the gathering was
the one hundredth anniversary of the
execution of Robert Emmett and the
resolutions were emphatic that no Ire
land will satisfy men of Irish blood
but the ireland for which Emmett died,
Ireland nation free and indeoend-
ant, making her own laws, floating her
own flag, shaping her fortunes, ae-
knowledging allegiance to no power out
side the limits with which nature has
bounded the island.
The resolutions added: while we
recognize in the land bill which has
recently become law a substantial con-
cession to the just demands of the
Irish people we do not regard il as
either settlement or a compromise OF
the Irish question. We urge the lead
ers of the United Irish League TO take
up with vigor and increased activity
the movement TO secure legisla tive in-
dependence which we hold to be OF
greater Importance than the settlement
ot the land question"
The speakers at the meeting included
Gen. Nelson a. Miles. Rabbi Iirscn,
and Judge Marcus Kavanagh.
