AMERICAN LIVES IN PERIL.
Minister Leischman Regards Stu
alton as Serious

Oyster Bay, l. l., Aug. 29.-It has
developed that the cablegram from
Minister Leischman from Constanti-
nople transmitted late Friday night to
President Roosevelt contained in add1-
ton to statement of the incorrectneSS
or the announced assassination OF vice
Consul Magelssen at Beirut, an impor-
tant report upon the situation in the
Ottoman empire. Minister Leischman
takes serious view of the condition
of affairs in Turkey. Practically the
entire domain of the sultan is in a
state of unrest and in some parts the
existing turbulence is equivalent to in
surrection
Minister Leischman apprehends Sc
rious trouble and indicates his belief
that American interests and American
lives are in peril on account of the
fanaticism of the Mussulman popula-
ton The minister's report confirmed
information received by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay from I'M
was decided by the president that Ad-
miral CottOn's squadron should pro-
coed to Turkish waters in accordance
with his original orders, notwithstand-
ing the 1naccuracy of the report of the
assault on Consul Magelssen. In any
event that was regarded by this gov
eminent only as an incident. The fact
that the assault upon the consul was
not attended by a fatal result simply
modifies the action of the United States
by removing one serious phase of a sit
uatlOn that otherwise may become in
tolerable very soon.
1t has not been decided definitely
whether or not Admiral Cotton's squad
ron Will rendezvous at Beirut as orig
inally ordered. The destination of the
vessels will be determined by the de-
Velopment of the Turkish situation

schrinopski Is Defiant.

The Topeka retail clerks are not fool
ishly fond of Mr.. S. Schrinopski who
sells clothes at 420 Kansas avenue.
They wanted him to join several other
of the smaller clothing houses who
have recently come into the fold and
agreed to close at o'clock sharp ac-
cording to the rules of the clerks
union. They labored with Mr.. Schrin-
opski, to no advantage. He positively
refused to shut up shop according to
of them went down and stood in front
of the Schrinopski establishment.
Whenever a prospective customer came
along they would tell him how much
more he could get for his money by
waiting until morning and going to
another store. They also handed a few
remarks to Mr.. Schrinopsli whenever
he came to the door. He still maintain
that he will keep open just as late as he
wants to.

This estimate is based upon the the
DRY that the taxes will be collected in
full and the appropriations all expend-
ed, when the experience of the past
four years has been that the unexpended
appropriations have averaged over three
times the amount of uncollected taxes
and if the same should be true for the
ensuing year, the amount in the hands

that the late legislature appropriated
three-fOurths of a million dollars more
than any previous Legislature and in
the Topeka Capital of August 26. 1903.
he states that for 1904 alone, one-half
million dollars more had been appro-
prlated than for the preceding year. In
the Topeka Capital, under date of Au-
gust l, 1903, Mr.. Kelly furnished a pre-
pared statement, in which he shows
that the legislature of 1903 made APP
preparations as follows:

NEW YORK, Nov. 7-There was a rather easy opening to the cotton future market today in that cables were little disappointing, the foreign element being rather indisposed in the matter of following the pace set by the bull interest in this country. However, on the lower prices there good buying for both sides of the account in the local market and there was substantial recovery, but on the better levels the market moved rather irreRu- lar. Tho general movement continued to at tract great deal of attention and the tn- sight movement for the week. while being bearishly construed by some was bullishly in- terpreted by others. Consequently on this sub- ject there was a great deal Of comment. and much of 1t served to check business for the account of outsiders The advlces from the South generally were buIish as regards the crop. and there was talk that the receipts were on the verge of falling off materially The South bought quite good deal of cotton There was a fair demand for spot cotton and the willingness of spinners to buy cotton at these prices encouraged belief in the report that the mills are securing heavy orders for cotton goods for future delivery at good prices. The foreign situation attracted great deal of attention and the consensus of opinion was that the exports of cotton will be quite sub- stantial during the next three months There was a relatively firm undertone in the market throughout the day. and on the close shorts were disposed to express uneasiness in some cir cles Estimated port receipts for the day were figured at eo.ooo, against 52. 33 for the same day last year.
