SION, the memorandum states that the
Bulganlan merchants and artisans liv
ing in Constantinople and Salonica
were ordered to return to their native
villages and were not allowed any
time or opportunity to dispose of their
business or property
Some of these Bulgarians, who with
their families had been established for
twenty years or more were utterly
ruined. AS the order applied equally
to professors and schoolmasters, the
Bulgarian schools were closed before
the end of the school year.
The authorities vigorously enforced
the same order against the Bulgarian
priests, making every effort to para
lyze the development of religious and
educational work and deprive the Bull
garlan Exarch of all his privileges and
force the people to come under the
authority of the Greek patriarch.
Encouraged by the Ottoman authori-
ties, the Greek bishops and archimand-
rites forced their way into the Bulgar-
ian churches and burned the prayer
books and menaced the people. The
archimandrite of Salonica declared in
recent sermon that the Sultan did
not want Bulgarian exarches in his
empire; if they remained they would be
eXterminated.
the Bulgarian tradesmen from Con-
stantinople and Salonica, the Porte
adopted measures to ruin the traders
elsewhere. The governor of Monastir
issued an order April 23 forbidding
Bulgarians to go abroad, or even to
Constantinople. This order was inter-
preted to prevent Bulgarians going to
any large city and forcing them to deal
only with Turkish merchants who
would gradually ruin and supplant
them.
The provincial administration en-
ployed every possible means to install
Mussulmans in the Bulgarian villages.
On the slightest pretext the Bulgarians
were forced to sell their lands to the
Turks at any price the latter chose to
pay. Burdened with taxes, liable to
perform statute labor for the Turkish
land owners, the population is reduced
to a state of serfdom.
This is one of the principal causes of
discomfort and when added the exac-
lions of the tax gatherers, it is not diff
flcult to understand why the wretched
people should revolt from a despotic
government and servitude.
The memorandum has made a strong
impression in diplomatic circles. The
Austrian diplomatic agent has already
called on the Premier to express his
anxiety regarding the results that may
ensue from its publication. The French
and Italian agents also expressed I'M
easiness, although they took a less
gloomy view.
According to the newspapers Gen.
Zoncheff, the president of the Mace
DOMAIN Committee, who was reported
Aug. Is, to have been arrested by the
Bulgarian police near the Macedonian
frontier, has escaped from Bulgaria
into Macedonia.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Mgr Falconio.
apostolic delegate to the United States,
to-day laid the cornerstone of the Do
minican House of Studies at Brook
land, District of Columbia, and for
mally launched the construction of an
other adjunct to the Catholic UNIVERSE
ty of America.
The services were marked by pomp
and beauty and were attended by high
church dignitaries and clergy from
various parts of the country. The Holy
Name Societies. VIII owe their origin
to the Order of st. Dominic, the
knights of Columbus and the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, assisted in the
ceremonies.
The Rt Rev. William H. O'Connell,
Bishop of Portland, Me-, delivered the
sermon, which was a fervent EXPOSE
ton of the mission and value to the
Catholic Church of the religious or
ders.
The monastery will be a beautiful
building of pure Gothic style. The
higher studies for Dominican students
will be transferred from st. Joseph s
House of Studies, at Somerset, o., to
the new monastery when completed,
and the latter will be the post-gradu-
ate school of the order.

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 16.-One of
the greatest clashes between labor fac
tons in this vicinity took place early
this morning between the striking ma
chinists and about twenty-five nom
union men who took their places in
the Riverside plant of the United
States Steel Corporation, but despite
the fact that over 1000 shots were fired
there were no fatalities, and only
few persons were wounded
The machinists have been out on
strike for several weeks and the stu
alton was becoming desperate for the
corporation until they imported about
twenty men to take the places of the
strikers. The men have been assault
ed from time to time, but the situa-
ton has not reached an alarming stage
heretofore.
The strikers congregated about the
boarding houses of the non-unionists
last night, fully armed, and began an
attack. The houses were heavily bar
ricaded and many volleys were fired
into the structures. Finally a we'll
directed shot from within the house
wounded one of the strikers and he
was carried to hospital. Clay Hoov-
err, spectator, also was shot in the
left knee, but not seriously. A num-
Der of people who We're in the build
ing with the non unionists received
wounds, which were dressed by physi-
clans.
The rioting continued until o'clock
this morning. when 1t abated some-
what. The police were powerless to
interfere. and reinforcements were re-
quested. About 300 unionists partic-
ipated in the riot, and a fresh out
break is feared at any moment.
At 10 o'clock tonight the strikers,
who are lying in the hills, fired on
Peter Silatek, who was passing that
point. He was seriously wounded.
The strikers mistook him, thinking he
was spy.

COnstantInOpIe Officials Give New
Version of the Fights.
Constantinople, Aug. 16.-The Off
Gals here affect ignorance of the news
that Russia is sending a squadron to
Turkish waters. They say that two di-
visions of the Russian Black sea fleet,
which recently assembled for the US
ual autumn maneuvers, left Batoum
three days ago and some of the yes
sells probably will visit ports on the
Turkish Black sea littoral as was the
case last year, but the movement has
no significance and they scout the idea
of a Russian naval demonstration
Official reports assert that the insur-
gents, when they occupied the town of
Krushevo, massacred all the Turkish
functionaries The recapture of the
town was effected by three Turkish
columns, operating from different
points. The bombardment by the
Turkish artillery exploded a number
of dynamite mines behind the en-
trenchments, causing considerable
damage.
lie insurgents then retired to the
mountains, where the fighting contin-
ues. A large number OF insurgents took
refuge in the church of the town, and
the Turkish military commandant ask
ed Constantinople for permission to
bombaEd the church. In reply, he was
Instructed not to lombard it, but to
accept the surrender of the insurgents.
Negotiations to this end are now pro-
ceeding.
In the fighting around Peerlepe, 100
insurgents were killed, and, according
to official information, the habitants
of 100 Bulgarian villages have surren-
dered their arms and have been par
doned.
A dozen villages in the neighborhood
of Peerlepe have been occupied by the
troops
The Porte denies the report emanat-
ing from Sofia that it has armed 5000
Mussulmans in the vilayet of Uskub.
A military train was slightly dam
aged last night near Veleca, between
Selenckp and Uphill, on the Uskub-
Salonica line. One soldier was killed
and several others wounded. Two bags
of dynamite were also found attached
to the metals on the ,Vardar Railway
bridge near Uphill.

KANSAS RIVER TO GO HIGHER.
Tramc Between Kansas Cities still
Suspended.

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 16.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Kansas
river at this point had risen foot in
the past twenty-four hours up to 2
o'clock this afternoon, when it became
stationary. and that a further rise is
expected tomorrow, no great damage
is likely to result.
West of here at Lawrence and To-
peka, the Kansas river has risen slight
ly since last night and at Junction
City and Salna it's tributaries are
rising at a steady gait and sending
the water this way.
Most of this water will reach Kansas
City within another twenty-four hours,
but while a further foot rise here is
predicted, a fall from that time on Is
looked for. Traffic between the two
Kansas Cities is still suspended as the
temporary pile bridges are unsafe.
