declare that either they nr the mur-

The Turks are apparently determin-
ed to eXterminate the entire Bulgarian
population of the vilayet. The actual
details of the happenings outside Of tho
town are not available. The foreign
representatives at Monastir are de-
pendent upon information furnished to
them from Turkish official sources.
The Macedonian interior organiza-
ton estimates that 10000 women,
children and old men are hiding In the
mountains and forests of Macedonia.
The Turks are burning the forests III
the districts of Leren and kostur. and
killing fugitives who attempt to es-
cape to the plains The village of Go-
pesh, three hours distance from Mon
astir, has been burned by the Turks,
who are reported have thrown several
OF the inhabitants INTO the fire. The
Bashi- Bazouks have destroyed the
village of Stoilovo, near Malketernovo.
Thirteen THOUSAND Turkish soldiers
are assembled on the frontier at Pa
lanka, Kratovo and Gotschani, and are
rlundering the surrounding villages.
The people have not complained, fear
ing that they may be murdered. In the
district of Debritsi viiayet Gf Mona
stir, the soldiers are reported to be
naked and starving and to ba' robbins
all around.
The general staff of the Insurgents

Special to Time Republican.
ennial report OF State Treasurer Gill
bertson has just been printed. 1t makes
most excellent showing of the flnan-
ces Of the state and indicates that the
balance that will be on hand at the
end OF the next year will be far in ex-
cess of what was anticipated. The in
troductory part of his report follows:
To His Excelency. Albert B. Cum
minis, Governor of Iowa:
AS required by section 107 of the
Code of 1897, ] have the honor to sub
nit herewith the biennial report OF
this department for the period from
July |. 1901, to June 80, 1903, exhibit
ing the amount OF cash received and
paid out by me as treasurer of state
and also showing the balance remaining
in the treasury at the close OF business
June 30, 1903. In giving this infor-
nation, have followed the forms here
tofore adopted. with slight variations
the transactions all being shown in de-
tail and recapitulated. The reader will
easily be enabled to make comparisons
by using the tables OF this and former
reports.
The volume of business transacted
by this department continues the steady
increase Of former years. From all
sources OF revenue greater receipts are
noted and the number of transactions
multiplied. The, systemetized records
permit prompt disposition of the busi-
ness Of the department.
General Revenue.
Conservative estimates by the several
state departments and the committees
on ways and means of the twenty ninth
general assembly as to probable re-
ceipts and disbursements placed the cash
balance in the treasury January I, 1904,
belonging to the general revenue, at be-
tween 100000 and 100000. Large re-
ceipts from unexpected sources will
make this balance nearer $1,000, 600. The
balance at the close OF June 80. 1903,
was $1,570,47S.SS. Many appropriations
made by the twenty-ninth general as
sembly have either not been drawn or
are yet to become available, and there
fore this present balance will be much
reduced later. The estimated receipts
were much below the actual receipts.
No such increase from the several
sources was anticipated as is shown in
the following:

Total receipts, ending 1901. 120,O5954
Increase 1908 over 1901. .$1,057. 1856
Every source of revenue save one
shows an increase over the preceding
period. The receipts from state insti-
tutions under the board of control show
a decrease of S17,9SS.92 The others
show large increases. Those from mis-
cellaneous receipts are accounted for
by the receipt from the United States
government Of the following:
Refund civil war claim. .$456,41 S9
Refund Spanish war claim. 33.771.66
Refund Tanla Indian quar-
antine ............ 100000
Total leS.oo
The increase from corporation tax
and collateral inheritance tax was not
extraordinary, and yet considerably
greater than estimated.
The increase from fees of state Off
GERS was unusually large, amounting
almost to 100000. This is accounted
for to large extent by the receipts by
the secretary of state Of two filings
made in his office of fees aggregating
about s145,0o0.
The increase of $249, 1896 in receipts
from counties is divided between the
proceeds of the state levy and remit
tances covering support of county in
mates at state institutions. About two
thirds is accredited to the former and
one-third to the latter Less than one
fourth of the total increase is from di-
rect taxes. Almost one-half is from the
United States government refunding
amounts heretofore expended by the
state for purposes for which the general
government was liable.
The state auditors warrants redeem
ed during the period amount to s5,751.-
26479. This is an increase over the
preceding period of $1,330,091.05. OF
this, $500, 9,9D1.63, or more than two
thirds is on account of state institu-
tions under the board of control.
This is principally accounted for in
the completion of the insane hospital
at Cherokee, the expenditures for which
during this period were $5a4,7se.s3, as
against $31,seS during the preceding
biennial term. The purchase of land
for several Of the institutions. amount

together with new buildings and the
Increased cost Of maintenance, affords

penditures by the state board OF con-
