Hudson, of the latter team, was a
regularly enlisted member of the Min
ty-nlnth New York Regiment. Mai
Guilfoyle, the executive officer, held
that the protest must be passed upon
by the board appointed by the Secre-
tary of War, which framed the condi-
tlons governing the competition.
The wind up of the shooting in the
National match was the most spirited
feature of the meet, although it was
apparent half an hour before the fir
ing ceased that New York would win
by a good margin.
Each team, even those near the foot
of the list, was deeply concerned re-
garding its standing at the finish, how
ever, and, therefore, the work of each
man on each team was followed eager
ly. Even before cease firing" had
sounded, cheering in honor of the vic
torious team had begun. The throng
at the firing line numbered many hun
dreds, and the shout that arose was
a mighty one.
The programme for tomorrow in
cludes the completion of the firing in
THE Leech cup and company team
matches and firing in the inter club,
carbine team, tyro company team, vete-
rams team and the re-entry individual

Spectator Was Killed and the Ma
chimes Driver Injured.
Detroit, Mich, Sept. 9.-While Barney
Oldfelds racing automobile was run
ming nearly sixty miles an hour at
the Crosse Pointe track this after
noon in the ten-mile open event, one
of the front tires on the machine burn
ed through and exploded, throwing the
car into the fence and injuring Frank
Shearar, a spectator, so terribly that
he died in an ambulance en- route to
the hospital
air, and Oldfeld, who kept his seat,
had a marvellous escape from death.
He received several cuts about the
body and had one rib broken.
Oldfeld had just time to twist his
brake and head for a spot between
two trees. Shearar was standing
againts the fence at this point, and
the car struck him squarely, break
ing both legs in several places and
fracturing his skull. He was thrown
seventy-five feet and never recovered
consciousness.
Oldfield had presence of mind enough
to throw himself backward on the
fiat deck of the car, which went crash
ing through a low tree and was COM
pletely wrecked.
Shearars brother was standing near
him and had a narrow escape.

airy charge of affairs there. The
Vail of Beirut, it is also announced,
has not been deprived of his authority,
but he will probably remain inactive
at his post" during the stay of Ma
zim Pasha at Beirut.
While the rioting was in progress the
Beirut advices further state, an appeal
was made to Rear Admiral Cotton 10
land marines, but he replied that he
could not intervene in a quarrel among
Ottoman subjects.
Several of the diplomats here drew
the serious attention of the Porte on
Monday to the situation at Beirut, de-
handing that measures be taken to
prevent further outbreak, and insist
ing on the recall of the Vail who was
in office when the outbreak occurred.
The Porte intends to concentrate 5O,-
600 to 10000 troops at Adrianople. 1t
is said that 1000 insurgents have been
surrounded at Kirk Kilisseh, thirty
two miles from Adrianople, and official
circles here momentarily expect news
of their surrender or humiliation.
Notwithstanding the large number of
troops concentrated at Adrianople, the
regiment of Hamidieh cavalry, to
which the Sultan presented colors Sept
4, will leave here this evening for Adri-
anople. 1t is alleged that the dispatch
of these troops can only have one
meaning, namely, massacres in which
the Kurds are destined to play the
same part as the Circassians did be-
fore the Russo-Turksh war.
Sixty battalions of redifs on a war
footing are waiting at the different
mobilization centers in Anatolia, ready
to start at a moments notice.

MacedOnians Will Use Turkeys
Weapons Against Her.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 9.-The Mace
DOMAIN organizations are preparing a
memorandum to be presented to the
representatives of the Powers, in which
they will declare that the insurgents
intend to resort to reprisals for the
Turkish atrocities.
The memorandum gives detailed in
formation of villages destroyed and the
massacre of their inhabitants. 1t de-
clares that $1,000 men, women and chill
dren have been slaughtered and 100
villages burned. In the list of villages
given only two are in the vilayet of
Adrianople. The others are principally
in the Monastir vlayet.
The memorandum repeats the state
ments recently issued by the insurgent
general staff at Monastir, that the
Turks, instead of fighting insurgents,
have instituted general massac ere of
the Christians. The organizations de-
clare they are issuing the present mem
orandum because they are no longer
able to restrain the bands from retail
alton and henceforward the RESPONSE
bility will rest with the great Powers.

London, Sept. 9.-The official and
press reports from the near east to-
day emphasize the seriousness of the
situation there and confirm the belief
of the authorities here that owing to
the general irritation throughout
European and Asiatic Turkey toward
the Christians, as a result of the Mac
edonian revolt, the Sultan may be
swept by the uncomfortable senti-
ments of his Ottoman subjects into
war with Bulgaria, despite the unwil-
lingness of the Porte to precipitate
such a conflict.

France, but whether it is adopted or
not the Sultan's hand has already
been greatly strengthened, as he is in
| better position to act than hitherto
There is no question in official cir
cles here that the Porte will take en-
ergetic measures to suppress any
| trouble at Beirut. The announcement
is made of the arrival at Beirut of
Nazim Pasha, the Vail of Syria, who
is expected by the Turkish officials to
promptly restore order. That the task
| is difficult is shown by the fact that
there have been further riots at Bel
rut France may order warships to
that point to protect her interests, but
Germany has asserted that she will
not do so.
| Great Britain, whose missionary in
terests in Syria are practically nil, has
not as yet sent any vessels to Beirut,
relying upon the American warships
to protect the consulates.
/ The Turkish embassy issued another
statement to-day. declaring that the
reports of massacres emanate from
the Bulgarian side and are purposely
exaggerated in the hope of securing
European Intervention. 1t reiterates
disbelief in the seriousness of the Bel
rut situation. and adds:
1.-The Turkish government, therefore
hopes the American warships will de-
part as speedily as possible, as their
presence only tends to incite the peo-
pie. From Constantinople the embas-
sy is informed that there is no rea-
son for the assembling of the Ameri-
can ships at Beirut"

Between Hanna and the People.
Clarke Wants the FilIpinos Inde-
pendent.
Akron, o., Sept. 9.-The Democratic
state campaign opening meeting was
held in this city tonight addresses

Mr.. Johnson, in his speech. said:
The city of Cleveland furnishes an
excellent Illustration of the issues OF
the Democratic party in this campaign.
Cleveland has become known as the
most completely enjoined city in Ohio.
Since have Eeen Mayor, fifteen in
functions have been issued against the
city in the interest of the owners of
valuable special privileges like the
street railroads and the gas and cleo
trio light companies, and after each
injunction the Democratic pluralities
have been larger than before.
Senator Hanna, who is financially
interested in some of these public serv-
ice corporations, with the aid of At
torney General Sheets. has been able to
prevent the city from compelling the
public service corporations to pay their
just share of the taxes and has so far
blocked the establishment of a Scent
fare street railroad to compete with his
b-cent fare monopoly.
Hanna's sort of VindIcatiOn.
Senator Hanna is standing for vim
dication. He stands for vindication
on that variety of municipal owner
ship which through the ship subsidy
proposes to pay in to the pockets of
Mr.. Hanna's friends $40 000 900 to $15,-
100000 annually to ship subsidies. He
stands as opposed to allowing the peo-
pie of Cleveland to express their will
as to whether they desire an electric
plant. | will be satisfied with the
verdict of the voters"
John II. Clarke referred to Senator
Hanna's stand pat" policy and said:
Clarke scores Hanna, Too.
while Senator Hanna has thus been
urging this do nothing policy there
| has been worked out unrestrained in
| our country, the greatest industrial
| revolution of modern times which has
! placed every branch of business and
manufacture in the control of a form
of monopoly, which all the world ex-
cept Mr.. Hanna agrees to call a trust
LAS TO the remedies in the way of
controlling trusts, the first is the TAX
ing of the tariff from all articles, the
manufacture or sale of which is con-
trolled by a monopoly. and the second
the limiting of the capitalization Of
all corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, strictly to the value Of the
property invested"
Mr. Clarke favored granting imme-
date independence to the Filipinos.

Miles From the Frontier.
London, Sept. 10.-Except that the
consuls in Salonica are again asking
for the protection of warships, there is
little direct news this morning from
the seat of the Macedonian troubles,
but there is plentiful crop of sensa-
tional statements impossible to either
deny or confirm. Among the latter is
an assertion made in Sofia dispatch
tn the Secolo of Milan, to the effect
that it has been decided to mobilize the
Bulgarian army This is contrary to
the avowed policy of the Bulgarian
government, but cannot be regarded as
unlikely with Turkish troops concen-
trated at Goektepe, five miles from the
Bulgarian frontier.
According to Sofia dispatch to the
Daily Express, the British agent there
has already notified Bulgaria that
Great Britain insists that she prevent
the passage of the bands into Mace
donna.
Little credence is attached to story
published in the Vienna Die Zeit that
Turkish troops have been ordered to
cross the Bulgarian frontier.
Count Goluchowski, the Austrian
chancellor, had a long conference with
Emperor Francis Joseph at Budapest
Yesterday and common diplomatic ac-
ton by the Powers against Bulgaria is
again said to be in preparation.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
BORE MAUSER WOUNDS.

London, Sept. 1O.-The Monastir cor
respondent of the Daily Mail sends a
graphic account Of the siekenlng sights
he witnessed in the hospitals there.
The victims Of Turkish brutality were
mostly Greeks and Wallachians. Many
women and children had wounds from
Mauser bullets. proving that they had
been inflicted by regular troops mas
much as the Bashi- Bazouks are armed
with Martins.
The stories told by the victims tend
ed to prove the worst accusations
against the Turkish troops Of brutali-
ties and massacres.
