the interior of Macedonia have come to
light as yet.

look is exceedingly serious.
1t appears that the Turks have OBJ
tanned the upper hand in the vilayet of
Monastir and the insurgents are planning
to remove the center of their activities
close to the Bulgarian frontier. Dis
patches arriving to-day from the disturbed
area are exceedingly gloomy From Ad-
rianople comes the news of Turkish de-
feat and the extension of the revolutionary
outbreak. From Monastir the news of
Turkish victories is accompanied by re-
ports of barbarous excuses.
Unspeskable Atrocities.
While many Of the reports remain with
out confirmation, sufficient authentic de-
tails are forthcoming to cause the authori-
ties the gravest anxiety. According to the
Sofia Drevnik the Turks committed I'M
speakable atrocities at Krushevo
The mutilated corpses Of ninety women
and children were found in one building.
Pieces Of the bodies had been thrown
into the street. Fifteen of the principal
merchants of the town were killed and
their heads were exhibited on poles.
At Monastir the churches were denol-
ished, the houses were sacked and the
town is now in heap Of ashes. The pop
luace fed to the hills, where they are in
a starving condition. The Drevnik also
asserts that general massacre has taken
place in the whole vilayet Of Monastir.
Nearly all of the villages have been de-
stroyed. The treacherous murder of
eighty insurgent prisoners by their guards
near Monastir has made an especially bad
impression here.

vile law taxing foreign corporations, and

This action was brought to enforce a
new law which requires a corporation to
conform to certain regulations and to pay

OF $50 and an additional sum proportionate
to the excess Of it's capital stock over
$4,000 The suit was commenced in an
other county, but was dismissed on stipu-
lation and recommended in Hennepin
county The defendant company answered
to the complaint and the state demurred.
This demurrer was argued before Judge
Simpson some time ago, the state being
represented by Charles W. Somerby and
the defendant company by c., M. Fer
guson. Judge Simpson has given the
questions involved careful study and his
decision is big victory for the state. The
decision is accompanied by lengthy and
exhaustive memorandum
In concluding Judge Simpson says:
Under the act no corporation is singled
out because It's business Is Interstate but
on the contrary the defendant seeks to
avoid compliance with a reasonable local
regulation, because portions of it's bust
ness governmental and interstate
'The act in question does not lay q
tax on interstate commerce by way of
duties laid on the transportation Of the
subjects of that commerce, nor on the re-
ceipts derived from that transportation.
nor on the occupation or business of car
rying it on, but it is a regulation adapted
to protect the people Of the state from
fraud and imposition, and to promote the
general welfare, a regulation local in it's
nature and part Of system established
in this state, applicable alike to domestic
and foreign corporations.
We therefore conclude that the act in
question is applicable to the defendant
corporation and as to it is not in conflict
with the federal constitution

Rome, Aug. 5.-The conclave after
being in session four days yesterday
elected Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch of
Venice, as pope to succeed Leo MIL,
and he now reigns at the vatican and
over the Catholic world as Plus \.
Last night all Rome was Illuminated
in his honor.
His election and assumption of his
holy Office were marked by striking
and impressive ceremonies at the Vati-
can which only ended last evening.
Today the new pope, clad in his full
pontifical robes and with all the ritual
istic ceremony, will receive the mem.
bers of the diplomatic corps, cardinals
and bishops, who will then offer their
official homage, this Notwithstanding
the fact that twice yesterday cardinals
and many high officials of the vatican
went through similar ceremony.
The date upon which the coronation
of Plus \ will occur has not yet been
decided but the impression that pre-
walls it will occur Aug. g. Although
terday morning and was announced to
the world 45 minutes later by the APP
pearance of the new pope at the win
dow of st. Peters, the conclave was
not formally dissolved until $50 yes
terday afternoon. The cardinals then
returned TO their various apartments
in Rome, with the exception of Ram
polla and Oreglia, who temporarily
retain their official duties in the yati-
can, and Cardinal Herrera Espinosa,
who is too i'll TO be moved for several
days. 1t was to the sick cardinal that
the new pope paid his first visit after
being formerly proclaimed pontiff.
The cardinals will remain in Rome
for todays ceremonies and should the
coronation be fixed for next Sunday
they are not likely to return to their
respective homes until after the cere-
mony.
