ABOLISH EQUIPMENT BUREAU.
Radical Change Proposed in the Navy
Department.

Washington, Sept Establishment
OF the bureau of equipment of the
navy department and consolidation of
its work under the bureaus of naviga-
ton and construction and repair is
the radical change proposed in a plan
which has been submitted to Secre-
tary Moody for approval and which it
is believed will meet the ideas of the
secretary. According to the plan the
electrical work now in charge of the
bureau of equipment, including wire
less telegraphy, will be transferred to
the bureau Of construction and repair,
which in reality has under it's control
a large part of the electrical work on
ships under the present arrangement.
To the bureau of navigation will be
transferred all matters relating to
purchase and storing of coal and the
location Of coaling stations. The 9TH
er duties of the chief of the bureau of
equipment will be divided between
these two bureaus.

UMPIRE wRlGHT's FINDINGS.
rive Disputes Between Miners and
Operators Settled. 49, 2@,..

scranton, Pa, Sept. 9.-Hon. Carroll
D.. Wright, the umpire to whom was
relerred the five disputes between the
operators and miners representatives
Oh the board Of cancellation appointed
under the provi' !: rs Of the anthracite
mine strike cohr@e :sion, filed his find
1ngs during th~ DAY with T. D.
N1cholls, secretary of the board. Deal
9h5 with the question of the employ
ers right to discharge men for any
cause other than of connection with
a labor union, Umpire Wright agrees
wholly with the contention of the
operators representatives and declares
that the right of an employer to dis
charge without giving the cause OF the
alscharge is sustained by the award of
the commission. AS to the rockmen's
dispute the umpire says they do not
come under the award. The complaint of
Ihomas Tanner is not sustained in re-
gard to the allegations of discrimina-
ZION on the part of the Lehigh Coal
ana Navigation company and Coke
Bros & Co. He says these companies
should take back old men instead of
putting on new men in all cases where
tne old men are competent and have
not been convicted or not awaiting
trial for crime committed during the
strike. The umpire's findings cover
twenty-five pages Of typewriting.
Inc board has now disposed of
about thirty disputes. Two more
questions on which it is deadlocked
Will be submitted to Umpire Wright.
Ihey deal with the nine-hour day in
the Reading company's mines and the
proper basis on which to compute the
increase in wages awarded by the CON-
mission, the companies in the Lehigh
and Schuylkill region contending that
1t should be on the net earnings, while
the men contend it should be on the
gross earnings.

INVOLVE SIX PERSONS,
More Indictments Returned in Post.
office Cases.


Washington, Sept. 9.-After delibe-
rating for several weeks over a mass
OF documents submitted by the post
office inspectors the federal grand Jury
IN this city during the day returned
seven indictments in postal cases, in
volvlng six different persons.
All the postal indictments were
kept off the public records and both
the officials of the district attorneys
office and of the postoffice department
refused to discuss names and details
OF the indictments until the parties in
dicted are arrested. The indicted in
dlv1duals' identity thus was left a
matter of conjecture.
The grand jury's action probably
marks the beginning of the end of the
Investigations that have been in prog
ress since the middle of last March.
Voluminous evidence has been laid be-
fore the grand jury as the result of
the inquiry and while the present re-
port of the jury disposes of most of
the cases there yet remains several
cases to be passed upon. Several of
the persons indicted live outside of
Washington. They will be arrested
as soon as bench warrants can be-
served
Two other important events occurred
during the day in the postoffice in
quiry.
Leopold Stern, a Baltimore contrac-
tor, who disappeared from Baltimore
before he could be arrested on an in
dictment returned July 81 last, was To-
Gated at Toronto and the long delayed
surrender OF George w. Beavers, the
former head of the salary and al
lowance division, to the New York au.
thorities took place.

London, Sept. 9.-Everything seems
to point to new and terrible" develop
ments in Macedonia On top of the
appalling accounts of the results OF
the Turkish methods of restoring or.
der in the vilayet of Monastir comes
the threat by the insurgents to resort
to reprisals on the same SCALE The
portes anxiety to suppress news by
eXpelling newspaper correspondents
from the operations is held to have but
one meaning. The morning papers
comment upon the significance of the
news that Russia and Austria are
seeking to persuade the powers to
coerce Bulgaria, as showing a belief
that war is inevitable.
NO further news regarding the out
break at Beirut has been received here.
Inc Daily Telegraph correspondent
at ST. petersburg says he is assured
on excellent authority that Russia,
when she submits proposals to the
porte for the paciication of Macedo-
MA, contemplates the dispatch of her
Black Sea squadron to Turkish wa
tiers, where it will make much long
er stay than recently, in order to over
come the sultan's objections to her
recommendations
A Monastir dispatch to the Daily
Mail says the great military drive in
the mountains to the southeast Of
Monastir toward Lake Prespa by a
force of 5000 Turkish infantry with
twelve guns resulted in the escape of
all the revolutionary bands. Though
the latter were practically surround
ed not one was captured.

BRILLIANT FEAT OF ARMS.
Small French Force Defeats LARGE
Body Of Moors.

Paris, Sept. dispatches from
Oran, Algeria, show that the recent
defeat of the insurgents by a French
force near Almoungar, in which the
French lost 81 killed and AZ wounded.
was one of the most brilliant of the re-
cent feats of the French army in AL
geria. 1t appears that the insurgents
intercepted a convoy, the escort of
which, consisting of 120 men, resisted
the attack of between 5000 and 1000
Moors for eight hours The little
French force suffered greatly from
thirst, but after inficting heavy losses
on their assailants, succeeded in re-
pulsing them. The French relieving
force found the Moors' line of retreat
scattered for a mile with dead and
wounded

APPALLING ATROCITIES.
Turks Massacre Over Fifty Thousand
Bulgarians.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 9.-The Ma
cedonion interior organization esti-
mates that 100000 women, children
and old men are hiding in the noun
tains and forests of Macedonia. The
Turks are burning the forests in the
district of Leren and Kostur, and
killing fugltives who attempt to es-
cape to the plains
All reports from the vilayet of Mon
ast1r agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and 5O,-
900 Bulgarian inhabitants are be-
heved to have been massacred by the
Turks and every Bulgarian village in
the vilayet has been destroyed. The
revolutionary headquarters estimate
that 10000 Bulgarian men, women and
children have been killed, while at
least the same number of refugees are
slowly pershing of hunger In official
circles these figures are regarded as
an underestimate and officials incline
to the belief that the number of the
massacred exceeds $4,000.

Berlin, Sept. 9.-The morning news
papers, in commenting on Sundays
outbreak at Beirut, throw the blame
Tor the occurrence on the United
States. The Lokal Anzeigar says:
Nov that the Americans have their
dead they will make inquiry whether
they were responsible for the effer-
vescence in Beirut. BY the unprece-
denied action of their minister in
Constantlnople and their naval demon
stration the yearning of the United
States to mix up in European politics
has found some justification"

1T can be seen how serious it is, in
view of the excitement IN the Near
East, to spread incorrect or bad

Pittsburg Woman browns Her Chile
and Herself,

Pittsburg, Sept. 9.-The mystery
surrounding the finding of five-year-
old Viola Cordes in the Allegheny
river last Saturday evening was par
TALLY cleared during the evening by
the finding of the body of the child's
mother floating in the same stream.
From all accounts it is believed that
Mrs. Cordes, who was about twenty
four years old, jumped into the river,
carrying her child with her. Since
coming here she has boarded around
at number of places, leaving her lit
tie one with Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Davis
in Millvale.
Mrs. Davis says Mrs. Cordes had
made threats of suicide. She said
she had had trouble with her family:
that she had been thrown around in
the world; that she was tired of life
and would end her troubles by throw
ing her child into the river and lump
ing in after her.

surgents have laid up stores of pro-
visions in the mountains and even
contemplate winter campaign. The
suffering to the women and children
thereby entailed would be appalling,
but the insurgent leaders believe that

communications.
He continues: ANY active inter-

Header: 1t is hard to tell which is
held in highest esteem, the June
bride or the June graduate. Every
n loves both, and have a right to.
There is every assurance the June
graduate is happy. and if the June
bride is not she should have waited.
Adorned in the finest Of summer
textures and decorated with roses and
lilies, the vision in either case re-
mains long with the beholder. How
fDndly the parents and teachers view
the June graduate as she steps for
ward to deliver her learned essay,
dealing in subjects as remote general
Ey as the stars. But her knowledge
OF Latin, poetry, and Greek art, and
EGYPTIAN history, does not compare
with her W bewitching self in flesh
and blood. Perhaps in a year or SO
she will become a June bride, and
the rainbow OF domestic bliss will
halo her brow with that Of him to
whom her troth has been plighted.
Meet it is indeed that in the loveliest
month of the year this happy twair
should occupy such a pleasant posi-
ton in public attention. Envy then
not. The tolls and cares of life viii
come Don enough. Nor in u cyni'
hearts contemplate the ashes Of TIN
roses that now adorn. The jun
Bride and the June graduate are boil
