ocratic national convention it will bolt and
nominate third ticket. Towne Is fav-
ored by Bryan as the head of this boiling
contingent according to the Harrington
speech.
Much interest is taken here in that
speech. It seems to foreshadow that the
Bryan followers will, before resorting to
rash measures, go to the democratic con-
vention in an effort to control it. Towne,
is is now believed. will be a delegate from
New York and will ably second the efforts
of the Bryanites. Indeed, it may be that
he will be their leader on the convention
floor, for nobody supposes that Bryan
himself will be a delegate -
There will be a contest very similar to
that which occurred in the republican ma
tional convention in St. Louis in 1896, and
it will probably have similar results,
and Towne and the rest of the Bryan
following will walk out after having made
their protest either against the platform
or against the candidate who is likely to
receive the nomination.
Then will come a convention and APP
parently it is Bryan's hope that Towne
will accept the presidential nomination at
it's hands-at least that is the interpreter
ton put on the Harrington speech by
politicians in Washington.
Under these conditions the third ticket,
while possibly, masquerading under some
form of the democratic name, would in
fact be the old populist party, the molders
of which would rally to its support and
make the republican pIuralities proper
tionately larger In the middle west states.

Constantinople, Aug 27.--The bomb
which wrecked the train near Kuleli
Burgas, was thrown by a third class pas
senger who was in the buffet car. Only
two car were destroyed. The dead in
clude two Mussulmans women, two chill
dren and three trainmen.
The continued absence Of news from the
interior Of Macedonia, where there is
widespread interruption Of telegraphio
communication, Is causing great uneasi-
ness to the Turkish officials here and
much unrest among the public.
War between Turkey and Bulgaria is
regarded as inevitable unless some way
speedily is found to arrest the reciprocal
slaughter and destruction of Macedonia.
The Turks are stirred to a high pitch
of excitement by the stories told by Greek
and Mosem refugees who have reached
the shores of the Bosporus from the an
initiated villages In the districts where
the insurgents are operating These per-
sons allege that the Bulgarian forces in
eastern Macedonia are killing men, wom-
en- and children Unfortunately and set
ting fire to everything combustible. They
say that armed bands descend upon the
villages in broad daylight and carry out
their dreadful work with remorseless
rigor.
Several foreign diplomats who visited
the refugees In their camps have returned
with gloomier view than ever OF the
prospects of war between Turkey and Bull
garia. They cannot see how a general
outbreak Of Moslem fury can much longer
be averted. Austria and Russia are still
supported by all the powers and they
persist in their endeavor to localize the
struggle pending the issue Of new negotia-
tions with Turkey, which it Is understood
here, are about to be tnaugurated.

Naval Department Promptly Tele-
graphs Admiral Cotton to Pre-
pare for Service.
Fleet Will Be Sent to Turkey Unless
American Demands Are
Met Promptly.

Washington Aug 27.-The state depart
ment has received cablegram from
Minister Leishman at Constantinople an
nouncing that William G. Magelssen,
United States vice consul at Beirut,
Syria, was assassinated yesterday while
riding In a carriage.
The American minister Immediately
brought the crime to the attention OF the
government and demanded amends by
Turkey.
Acting Secretary LOOMS to-day cabled
Mr. Leishman instructing him to demand
the immediate arrest and punishment or
the persons guilty of the murder
No demand for money indemnity Tor
the mans family has yet been made, but
probably will follow. Magelssen was ap-
pointed from Minnesota
Fleet May Go to Turkey:
Admiral Cotton, commanding the Euro
pean squadron, has been cabled by the
navy department to have his vessels In
readiness to move to Beirout, which Is
on the eastern shore Of the Medlterra-
mean sea, in case the demands Of the
United States government upon the Tur-
kish government are not complied Win.
The Brooklyn and the San Francisco are
at Vile Franche and the Machias is at
Genoa. Magelssen was appointed wee
consul at Beirout Sept. 20, 1890, by Con-
sui Gabriel Bieravudal, who is Scandi-
navian. At the time of his appointment
as vice consul he was consular clerk IN
Turkey. Magelssen was appointed on the
recomm ton of Senator Nelson Of
Minnesota. who says that he was the son
of a prominent Lutheran minister. He
was born at Blatzburg, Fillmore county,
Minnesota.
Murderer Is Not Known.
Minister Leishman's cable was dated
yesterday and said that the assassination
occurred Sunday, the minister being In
formed of the crime by Consul RouvadaL
The consul stated that the murderer was
not seen and is not known.
The announcement of the ASA ssination
of the American vice consul, following so
soon upon the assassination Of Russian
consul in Turkey, created a strong i'm
preston in official circles, and the sug-
gestion was made that such frequent as
sassinations indicate a very disturbed
condition of affairs in the Turkish do
mains. Mr.. Leishman gave no particulars
of the assassination and the state depart
ment has no information as to the cause
of the murder. The American govern
ment will insist that the local authorities
be punished if they were neglectful in
their duty, and that full measure of pun
tshulent be given the actual perpetrators
of the outrage.
1t Is Up to Turkey.
Beirout Is city on the eastern coast
| of the Mediterranean sea and is a place
Of considerable commercial activity. The
action Of the Turkish government will
determine or not whether the European
squadron Is to be sent to Turkish waters.
| Unless the Turkish government. acts
promptly upon the demands made by the
United States government, it is expected
the European squadron will at once move
| eastward.
The state department forwarded Mr..
| Leishman's dispatch to the president at
Oyster Bay, and is now in communication
| with him on the subject.

It was decided that a memorandum should

The secret visit Of the Russian squad

1t was described as "a moment Of sun

speakers impassionately appealed for the
immediate Intervention Of the powers In
Macedonia, declaring that If the pouring
out OF blood in Macedonia continues an
other fortnight, Europe would find nobody
there to save.

Vienna, Aug. Pit is felt in high
