a high old time in the holiness camp
meeting at Alcyon Park Sunday night.
The meeting was held by combination
of white and negro missions of PhiladeJ-
phia. When the time arrived to lift the
collection one negro preacher went to
the platform and shouted "FOr two
cents I'll jump over the pulpit" "Here
you are" responded halfa dozen voices,
and as many hands produced the cop,
pers. He cleared the stand in good
order and was vigorously applauded.
'Now, brothers and sisters, it will cost
ten cents to see me do it again." he de-
clared. The money was forthcoming,
and with cuffs and coattail flying he
cleared again. He kept up the per-
Torrance until, perspiring and ex-
hausted, he announced that several
dollars had been obtained.

dent Roosevelt today enjoyed period of
rest from his manouyres of yesterday.
No guests were received at Sycamore
Hill during the morning and none are
expected during the day. The May

the President does go, he will be aboard
the Upton yacht only long enough to
pay formal call and will see the races
from the bridge of the Mayhower.

OPEN PORTS PROMISED. Minister
Edwin II. Conger, at Picking, has
secured a written promise from Prince
Ching to sign, on October 8, a treaty
with the United States which will in
clude a guarantee that Mukden and
Tatung Tao shall be open ports. A dis
patch from Pekin says that the arrange
ment made by Minister Conger for the
signing of a treaty between China and
the United States providing for the
opening of Mukden and Tatung Tao on
the date of Russia's promised final
evacuation of Manchuria ends the stub
born resistance by the Chinese which for
some time promised to be successful.
Prince Ching made one defense after an
other, until all were exhausted. He
first argued Russian opposition to the
opening Of these ports. He then said
that he was not informed that Rusaia
had consented to the opening. Finally
he refused on the ground that China was
unable to open towns which were held
by another power. When the present
settlement was proposed, with the ex-
PLANTATION that China must presume that
Russia intended to fulfill her evacuation
agreement, Prince Ching reluctantly
gave in. Tatung Tao is small port
which does not promise much business
to attract foreigners in the near future.
Its opening is mainly important as a
vicory for the "open-door" principle.

THE report of Samuel NJ. Brosius,
general agent Of the Indian Rights Asso-
citation. who has been investigating the
condition Of things in the Indian Terri
tory, indicates that a serious scandal has
been unearthed. Not only the Interior
Department, but the Dawes Commission,
an independent body appointed by the
President, is involved, including Secre-
tary Hiscok's trusted subordinates The
wrongs complained of grew out OF the
administration Of the allotment law,
under which it was the intention Of Con-
gress to cause the Indian to cultivate
land and secure for himself individual
property rights, leaving the surplus OF
land in the various reservations after the
Indians have made their selections to be
sold for the benefit of the tribe. The
Indians have ever been a prey to those
in whose care and keeping they have
been placed and will continue to be so as
long as the departments in Washington
are conducted rs at present.

MAYOR 4. T. KNOTT, OF Hammond,
Ind wants to marry otrall the bachelors
and thus end the labor question To
aid in a quick solution Of the problem
that has vexed the minds of students OF
economics for years past he will marry
couples without charge. To arrive at
q still quicker solution he has issued a
proclamation calling on the manuiac-
turers there to employ none but married
men in their factories and stores. The
MAYOR believes the bachelor is at the
bottom of all of the trouble as he has
no responsibilities, and thus he Is with
ouesa,, ?.chorage. Had he wife and
children to provide for he would hesitate
before plunging into a fight with his
EMPLOYERS. Mayor Knott believes bache-
lors are the agitators Of nearly all the
big strikes. The vast majority Of coun-
sellers for radical action, the Mayor say,
have no home ties. Mayor Knott Is
correct in his conclusions. The great
mass of strike agitators are Of an I'M
stable and rowing nature. They ignore
the laws of nature by refusing to marry
and assume the responsibilities OF life,
and. as a general thing, are averse to
working long anywhere, no matter how
pleasant their surroundings may be.

to fury by the nature of Jackson alleged
crime, poured into Steyensville, the
boy's home, and Hamilton during yester-
day. The Jail is heavily guarded and
the sheriff has declared he will resist to
the last. 1t is believed that the only
thing that has thus far prevented mob
violence is the request of the murdered
boys parents that the law be allowed to

THE BALKAN WAR.

According to a dispatch received by
he Frankfort Zeitung the river near
Monastir, Macedonia, is full of the
mutilated bodies of women and children
who have been mastered by bashi-
bazouks Turkish irregular troops.
A dispatch received at Sofia from
Uskub says that 600 bashi-bazOuks,
under the command of Albanian chiefs,
who are VIGOROUSLY cruel, have pillaged
and destroyed a number of Christian
villages in the districts of Debre and
Okrida. The Turkish authorities con-
nived at the outrages and furnished the
bashi-bazouks with old uniforms, in
order that they might appear to be
regular soldiers.
The memorandum of the Bulgarian
government to the powers regarding the
situation in Macedonia has produced
great effect at Rome. The general i'm
preston is that Bulgaria is no longer
able to hold back popular feeling which,
unless it is repressed in time, will lead
to a war with Turkey. The fate of
Bulgaria in that event, it is thought,
would probably be the same as that of
Greece in the last war with Turkey.
The Italian government is exchanging
views on the subject with Vienna and
London.

Bucharest to prepare large quantities

There is a singular reticence on the
part of the state department officials,
suddenly developed in connection with
the Venezuelan situation. and espec-
tally with reference to the German
bombardment, which may be signifi-
cant OF the gravity with which they
view the situation. There is no longer
any talk Of exerting friendly influences
to prevent the bombardments, but it
is difficult for the department to an
swer congressional callers, who are
seeking for seasonable explanation.
An annoying feature of the situation
is the probability that there may be a
serious interference with Minister

States, though not officially concerned.

GERMANS SHELL FORT
WARsHIPs lombard VENEzUEL.
AN FORT AND TOWN OF SAN
CARLOS.
Natives Are Helpless, twenty-five
Fishermen Having Been Slain,
Even Children Not Escaping.

A dispatch from Maracaibo says the
the German cruisers Vineta, Panther
and Fake was continued Wednesday
afternoon until o'clock. 1t was re-
sumed Thursday morning at daybreak.
The first shens were hurled at the fort
at 4 o'clocK at long range. At 8 o'clock
the Panther, being of light draft,
closed in and again became actively
engaged. The fort replied. At 8 O'Clock
the engagement was proceeding fierce
ly. Although the damage inflicted upon
the fort by the sustained fire of the
German cruisers is very great, it is not
all that could be expected from con-
tinued FIRE from modern high-power
guns. The village of San Carlos suf-
fered greatly. The aim of the German
gunners appears to have been inaccur-
ate, for more than 60 per cent Of tnoir
shells exploded in the village before
reaching the fort.
Some of the artillery on the fort has
been destroye~ by the German fire. but
there are still five guns that can be
fired. General Bello is a soldier of re-
markable courage and daring He has
shown great bravery, and is in no way
intimidated. He will not abandon the
fort, but will resist as long as 1t is
possible for him to do so. He swears
that on January 18th, the occasion of
the first bombardment, the Panther
fired upon lin first, without reason,
and without provocation.
A fisherman from the village of San
Carlos has arrived here in canoe.
with his family. Two CT this mans
children were killed by shells from the
German cruisers. he reports that
more than twenty five Indian fisher
men have been killed or wounded at
San Carlos. The fishermen there are
helpless.
