The Balkan Situation.

Constantinople, Aug. ia new
danger, and one of the greatest in the
Balkan situation, is the increasing in
subordination among the Turkish troops.
Their officers are unable to exercise any
authority when the men do not wish to
obey. A few days ago while some regi-
ments were en- route for Monastir from
Uskub the troops ordered the train
stopped for twelve hours at Salonica in
order that they might amuse themselves
in the town. Eight MacedoniaDs who
were working on q repair line on the
railroad near Salonica were fired ON by
troops. Three of the Macedonians were
killed. and the remainder fled to The
station. They were pursued and massa
cred. Consular reports indicate ina
Salonica is in a most critical state. Th'
slightest Bulgarian outrage would suffice
to provoke massacre. The question o
sending war ships to Salonica is being
seriously discussed.

MR.. WATTERsON's VIEWS.

Mr.. Henry Watterson in New York
Yesterday in an interview said ::
Parker, German or Gray will be the
democratic candidate for president in
1904. OF Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Bryan have said, and have merely
this to say, that they are the
upper and the neither millstones seeking
to grind the democratic party to their
own uses, or to crush the life out of it.
They are two selfish politicians, neither
of whom cares anything about anybody
except himself The one has been
thrice a candidate and twice president.
This talk of fourth nomination and a
third election is too wild to be con-
sidered by sensible people and will not
he considered by any nominating con-
vention. With reference to Mr.. Cleve-
land, | have never had any other pur-
pose before me than the yindication of
the truth of history.
"Mr. Bryan is killing himself as a
public force AS fast and as surely as his
enemies could wish. If he goes on as
he seems bentupOn going he will become
the merest agitator and claimant, at once
impotent and vindictive. He had a
great chance to unite his party and to
be its Warwick. He went into the pres
idential ring obscure and poor, has come
forth rich and famous, and he could
we'll afford the larger and sweeter roll Of
peacemaker. He will not carry a cor
poraPs guard with him into the next
convention, and when he bolts-as he
will-there will be few or none TO follow
him."
"Have you formed any opinions as to
the next democratic candidate for the
presidency"
81 think the nomination will be be-
tween German. Parker and Gray-each
in his own peculiar way strong man
and that the nominee will be elected.
Mr.. Roosevelt will probably get his NOM
nation"
"My advices from Ohio, such as they
may be, tell me that Tom johnson will
be nominated for governor next week.
If he is it goes without saying that he will
make a lively fight 1t would seem that
little short of a miracle would be re-
quired to elect him but if he is elected
he will be in the presidential running
next year.
"The weather conditions in Ohio may
be described as variable. There are
the Hanna trade winds in the north and
the Foraker 'threatenings' in the south,
with several storm centers' to hear from
in the midlands. 1t is never safe to
prophecy against a man like Tom John
sou. He was born under the lucky star,
has been his own providence and in
way is a law unto himself. Stranger
things have happened. Read the true
story of the White House. 1t is a won
drous romance"

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG. 10, 1908.

IT WAS alleged in New YorF
Yesterday that Samuel J. Parks had de-
manded 5000 for settlinga strike in New
Jersey. The labor leader is now on trial
for extortion. Josephus Plenty, sky
light manufacturer, Of Jersey CITY, SAID
that in November, 1902, he WIS engaged
on some work on the Hamburg Amen-
can line pier in Hoboken. Besides the
skylight workers there were copper
smiths, tar and gravel roolers and car
penters working on the pier. On De-
cember Is all the men stopped work.
The contractor said be told Parks that 1t
was a So, 500 contract, and the latter
said 5000 would settle the trouble. The
payment of money, Parks said, was the
only way to settle strikes. Parks had a
large roll of money with him at the time.
He told Plenty he would guarantee him
peace for one year. The above needs
but little comment The incident, now
ever. shows how contractors and others
have been at the mercy OF the walking
delegate. Like Oriental tax-gatherers,
they are the assessors and the collectors
and that people should be forced to en-
dure such injustice in republic with the
pretentions Of that Of the United states
passeth understanding. But the walk
ing delegate is destined to go, the toillng
millions having tired of him. He has
ever been non persona grata to the more
conservative class Of mechanics, while,
of course, he is detested by employers
generally.

Guests ofthe President.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 10. Sen
ator and Mrs. Kearns, of Utah, and
Henry T. Stoddard, of New York, were
guests Of the President at luncheon this
afternoon. President Roosevelt has not
yet decided whether or not he will at
lend any of the yacht races, He will
not be present at the first contest, and if
he goes at all, will probably wait until
toward the close of the series. Sec
rotary Barnes, this morning, denied
that the President had sent orders to
Secretary Cortelyou to make an inyesti-
CATION into the alleged discrimination
against non-union employees of the gov
eminent printing Office. Such an in
vestigation, if it were made, would come
under the civil service commission, and
would not be referred to the Secretary
at all. The President has not taken
any hand in printing Office matters since
the closing of the Miller incident.

Tomorrow's Yacht Race.

New York, Aug. 19.--The Reliance
and Shamrock III. are lying in Sandy
Hook Bay, this morning waiting for the
starting Of the first race in the series for
the Americas cup. The start of to-
morrow's race will be as near eleven a.
M. as possible at the Sandy Hook light
ship. There is every indication that
there will be good sailing weather to-
morrow. A nice easterly breeze was
blowing today, and the weather bureau
reports a smart wind preceding a storm
moving from the west to the coast. The
course to be sailed tomorrow will be 10
miles to windward or leeward and re-
turn. A race will be sailed on Thurs
days, Saturdays and Tuesdays until one
of the yachts wins three races. Betting
on the yacht race became brisk this
morning and several large wagers were
made. Odds were posted at 2 to on
Reliance and in some cases strong adj
mirers of the defender laid p to /.
Some wagers at even money were made
that Shamrock III. would not take a
race.
Both yachts went out fora spin today,
but it was impossible at any time during
their run to compare the yachts in
point of sailing Both of the yachts
displayed their usual great speed in the
good breeze and smooth water condi-
tons.

THE King of Roumania has Joineo
those who are agitating IN favor OF al
economic coalition of European countries
against the United States. In an inter
view King Charles pointed out that TIE
economic situation in Europe was seri-
ously affected by the American exports
of cereals and other goods, while the
American markets were closed to Euro
pean producers. He expressed the
opinion that Europe was able to produce
enough grain to be independent OF the
United States, and that the suggested
coalition was not an impossible plan.
Should this threatened coalition against
the United States be formed the farmers
and country people would be the most
seriously affected, but as they are in the
majority and elect men to Congress who
favor high tariffs they would have
only themselves to blame for the losses
which they would surely sustain. II
the United States maintains a high tariff
wall to keep foreign produc out, itmusb
in measure, at least, keep home pro-
ducts in, and this country cannot with
good grace blame others for doing what
IL does.
