IT Is gratifying to know that while
nine thousand workmen marched behind
Sam Parks in the labor parade in New
York Yesterday there were many more
who seemed to have sized that individs
ual up for what he is worth, and those
who have long since become disguised
with Parks and his methods were not
slow in showing their contempt for him,
Labor, not Parks, was vindicated when
men, women and children, the victims
of his strikes, Kissed him at every turn.
Now and again, in the case of the
women, they burst into epithets of exc
Grafton, as they beheld the man who had
brought starvation and want to their
children, boldly leading procession OF
laborers. Exchanging the sOberer stripes
he recently wore at Sing Sing for the gay
and flaming red blouse of the housesmith,
decorated by a white and gold sash
bearing the mystic letters rs. p"
Parks rode in front, mounted on white
horse, symbolizing purity in the world
of labor. But the unfortunate letters on
the sash hurt the effect "Stolen prop
erty : Stolen property p yelled some
body in the crowd, and as Parks, with
effort, swung his horse in that direction,
some one from the other side called

was a part Of the vindication, while
from every vantage point came a burst
of Kisses and cries of "Sing Sing bird y
"When are you going back, Sam?"
Such was the reception that greeted the
convicted leader.

ReliefThat War is Imminent.

Sofia, Sept. SIT now appears that
nothing short of Intervention by the
powers will prevent general war be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey, before
October. 1t is also possible that Seryia
will be drawn into the fight. The in
surgents admit that the Turks have
temporarily checked the rising in the
immediate vicinity of Monastir, but the
shocking excuses of the Bashi Bazouks
have steeled the revolutlonaries for re-
venge. i
Constantinople, Sept. SIT is adj
mitted here that the feeling OF OPTIMISM
which has pervaded officials circles since
the outbreak of the insurrection in Mace
donna, has passed, and it is believed that
war is imminent. All official communl-
cation to the powers are so framed as 70
intimate that Bulgaria must be punished
for her part in the insurrection. Reports
received here today of several engage
ments between Turkish troops and
Bulgarian insurgent bands in which the
Turks are reported to have been success
ml. The Turkish troops found women
and children in the woods in various
places and fed them and sent them back
to their villages. AT Smeloyo the in
surgents set fire to eleven houses and de-
stroyed Others by exploding bombs IN
them. A party Of insurgents also set
fire to a number of villages. Another
atrocious massacre has been committed
by Turkish troops. A Macedonian
band is reported to have surrendered to
seven Turkish battalions near Kastoria,
after severe 6ghing. The soldiers, after
surrender, fell upon the defenceless in
surgents, killed 200, and drove 100 who
were severely wounded away from the
town inhicting inhuman fortunes on
them. The dispatch adds that al
Nicholaus a strong band was cut up by
Turks and 300 killed.
Constantinople, Sept "a consular
despatch from Beirut reports a fierce
brawl yesterday between Mussulman'
and Christians near the Greek Church.
1t was provoked by shot fired by
Mussulman at a Christian employe Of
the American college, who was wound.
ed. The Vail was on board the United
States cruiser Brooklyn returning visit
paid him by Admiral Cotton. 1t is
feared that there will a renewal of th'
trouble. A later dispatch says that Tho
official version of the affair which was
telegraphed to the Turkish Ambassado
, for communication to the powers, state
that the Christians were the assailant
and that they fired four shots at the
Mussulmans. The Mussulmans came t
the assistance of their compatriots, ant
the Christians were also reinforced, com
| pelling the troops finally to intervene
One soldier was killed in the fight, ant
three were wounded. One Christian
was killed and one wounded. Thes
: figures are evidently incorrect. 1t j
certain that the rioters must have los
more heavily. The British Consul callec
on the Vail and threatened to ask AID
miral Cotton to land marines. In ofticia
circles it is said that the disturbance wa
due TO the arrival at Beirut of the Amer
; lean squadron, the Christians wishing t.
force the landing of marines.

TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 5, 1903.


PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT no doubt
meant we'll in his speech at Syracuse
Yesterday, but the fact that he was en-
deayoring to accomplish the impossible
in his attempts to pour oil upon the
waters which have for so long time
been troubled by labor agitations must
be apparent to all who are watching the
course of present events. He excoriateu
mob violence, often result OF labor tur-
moils. and painted in vivid colors the
wrongs perpetrated by trusts, but that
he succeeded in calming the many savage
breasts in the ranks of both classes may
be reasonably questioned. While he
was engaged in the laudable role OF
peacemaker and endeavoring to bring
obdurate men to reason and common
sense. thousands ofthe toiling masses were
following a penitentiary convict IN the
chief CITY of the country and honlAng a
man who had recently slipped out OF
prison stripes. The fact that many
workingmen refused to follow the lndi-
yidual alluded to is pleasant to
contemplated. The President In his
speech voiced many truths which hon
est toilers should heed, but will the ma
iority of them do so? Many never have
until the wolfappeared at their doors ano
they were compelled to take retrospects o.
the causes which broughtits gaunt form t'
the front. 1t is now generally believed
that we are approaching crisis in the
country history. We have during the
past few years reached phenomenally
high tide. 1t is now Stacking anc
there is every indication of the approach
ing ebb Capitalists are halting in pro
iected enterprises and large corporations
are deferring extensive expenditures OF
account of the uncertainty OF the tme'
and the capriciousness of labor unions,
and there is every reason to believe thai
should confidence not be restored, in the
near future armies larger than that Of
Coxey's may be stalking hungry and II
rags from State to State. The efforts O.
the President to prevent the repetition O
the scenes common less than decade
ago are commendable and the time has
come when the workingmen should throw
off yokes which have been placed upor
their necks by designing and selfish mel
and view the situation through sensible
lenses.

Pope Won't Permit His Sisters to
KneeI.

Rome. Sept. THE three sisters Of
Pope Plus X. who lived with him AT
Venice, arrived in Rome today, after a
separation of about six weeks. A spec
iai carriage was provided for them by the
railroad company, so that they travelled
in a much different way from what they
had been accustomed to in the past.
They were received Immediately by
Plus, and the reunion was most touching.
The sisters tried to kneel, but were pre-
vented from doing so by their brother,
who took them in his arms and embraced
them. One sister, in a tone Of disaP-
pointment, said ''How well you look,
brother You have not needed us after
ALL"
The Pontiff replied; 81 am always
your Beppi, but am doing very well
here"
An hour was spent in exchanging
"reminiscences and making plans for the
future. The three sisters are now stay
ing in a convent until an apartment

New York Stock Market.

New York, Sept S.-The stock mar
ket opened without much activity but
generally higher, although not up to
London's prices. Dealings were we'll
distributed among the active list. There
were no fluctuations. The largest open
ing gain was ID in Canadian Pacific.
No animation appeared in later dealings.
The list held well, however, with a
slightly stronger tendency. The bond
list is quiet. The market in the first
half hour was decidedly firm. Most of
the business originated within the stock
exchange, but the feeling was generally
hopeful for an advance when the market
becomes active. The inertia held prices
steady during the first hour. Aitcheson
was most active. The purpose OF the
movement was not clear. About ii a.
m. the market fell away quickly, and
was apparently subjected to systematic
pressure as the brokers who offered stocks
were distributed-one in each principal
crowd-and began operations at the
same time. The bond market remained
steady but holds narrow. Government
bonds unchanged.

POSTMASTER GENERAL PAYNE has
explained just why he removed Miss
Huldah b. Todd, the Efficient young post
mistress of Greenwood, Del Senators
Alice and Ball, with the entire approba-
ton of the department, had divided the
federal patronage Of the State between
them, and Miss Todd was unfortunate
enough to live within the Alice baili-
wick, and lost her official head because
he wanted the Office for one of his bench
men. Thus the standard of official merit
becomes a matter of geography and
not of fitness. Republican Senators
parcel out patronage by county lines,
and the Postmaster General publicly
ratifes the bargain. $50 far as the
Postofice Department is concerned, "
says the dispatch which contains Gen.
Payne's explanation, ''the incident is
closed" "Quite So" says the Phila-
delphia North American. "The honor
able Senators have proved the efficacy of
their agreement, the Postm aster General
has courteously acceeded to a senatorial
demand, and all three gentlemen have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
have deprived a woman OF her live
lihood. As politics go, it is quite a
creditable affair all around"

No ADDITIoNAL LEVY. -Attoney-Gen-
eral Anderson has received several COM
munications from county boards of super
visors, requesting his opinion as to their
power to levy a capitation tax, in adj
dition to the State poll tax Of $3.50, on
every resident of the county, and to
apply the money so obtained to the
county public school fund, or use it for
other county purposes. After reviewing
the laws on the subject the Attorney
General says: 81 am therefore of opin-
ion that any levy of capitation tax by
the board of supervisors of any county,
or the council of any city or town, after
July 10th, 1902, would be invalid, until
and unless the General Assembly shall
by law expressly authorize such levy in
respect to the particular county, city or
town making the same"

SCANDAL IN LABOR UNION. Fol-
lowing the direct charge that money thus
far collected by assessment from the
various labor unions of Chicago bad
been wasted and consumed in salaries,
the Chicago Federation of Labor yester-
day abolished its defense fund committee
after a stormy session, during which the
lie was passed, discriminating charges
were made and fsticufs were narrowly
averted. James Bowman, formerly
president of the federation, and J. j.

ceedings of the meeting and the events
that led up to them were disgrace to
union labor in the United States.
Charges Of dishonesty were openly made
against several prominent labor leaders
and recommendations were made that
these men be suspended. After stormy
session the federation decided to adopt
compromise plan and to appoint COM
mittee to investigate the charges against
the men mentioned.
