EXCITEMENT IN CONSTANTINE
DIE

Constantinople Aug. 10.-The mur-
der of the Russian consul, M. Ros-
kovski, has caused intense excitement
here and is the sole topic of conyersa-
tion in the streets, cafes and public
resorts.
The general belief is that the Incl
dent is bound to considerably ag-
gravate the already serious situation
in Macedonia, and it is felt that it
will undoubtedly encourage the
Bulgarians to support the insurrec-
tionary movement which is spreading
rapidly. notably to the southwark of
Monastir.
According to mail advices from
Monastir dated Aug. 5, the. insurgents
who recently occupied the little town
of Krushevo, % miles north of Monas-
tir, numbered 900. They killed the
garrison consisting of 50 soldiers, dy-
namited and burned the government
buildings and then hoisted on hill
overlooking the town red flag, bear
ing on one side lion with the in
scription ssDeath or Liberty and on
the other the words Courage,
Brethren. The rebels were still IN
possession of the town when the let
ters were sent off.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 8.-Four
persons are dead, at least twelve are
thought to be fatally injured and fully
one hundred and fifty others hurt seri
ously, as the result of an accident,
which occurred today at the Phila-

Constantinople, Aug. 9.-Late dis
patches from Hilmi Pacha, inspector
general of the reform movement, an.
nounce that insurgents in large num-
bers in the district of Cisuri, Vilayet
of Monastir, attacked the village OF

cred the inhabitants, including women

CAR DEMANDS SATISFACTION.
All Who We're in Amy Way Re-
sponsible for Assassination Of
Consul Must be Punished.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 10.-The czar
has demanded the exemplary punish
ment not only of the murderers
of the Russian consul at Mon
astir, who was killed last week
by Turkish gendarmes, but of all the
military men and civilians in any way
responsible for the crime.
The assassination of the Russian
consul at Monastir, NJ. Roskovski--the
second murder of a Russian consular
official in Macedonia within few
months-has created intense indigna-
tion here.
According to the report made by
the official now in charge Of the Rus
sian consulate at Monastir, the mur-
derer is gendarme. The consul asked
his name, because, in defiance of in
structions, the gendarme did not salute
him. The gendarme thereupon fired
several shots, mortally wounding the
consul in the head and hip. The horse
drawing the carriage in which the
consul was;riding received two bullets
and shots were also fred at the coach
man.

Rules Of tie Court.

We publish this week, as is rule
once year, the rules of the court
1t is important that that the public,
as we'll as the lawyers, know the
rules of court proceedings. Our
courts are not private and confden-
tial affairs. The tax payers support
this court institution. The court is
the guardian of our civil liberty. 1t
is the condensed wisdom and virtue
in civil life. Its proceedings in many
ways. may not be Of concern to the
people generally. 1t Is of not much
matter to the world that some ruffian
gets term in the penitentlarY, that
some degenerate is divorced from a
decent woman, that some low whelp
is fined because be don't feed his
child.
It IS important to know the rules
that must be observed when cases
