Denver, Sept. 12.-Rev. DR.. R. F..

who has just returned to his home
in this city from a lecture tour in the
east. believes that the time is not far
distant when the twelve different
Presbyterian churches in the United
States will become one.
This probability. he says. is due to
the reconstruction of the creed of his
denomination. which took place last
May. Calyinists and Armenian lines.
which have so long kept his and the
Cumberland Presbyterian churches
separated. have now. he says. been
effaced. and at present no distinctions
other than ceremonial separate the

GALES HAVOC in ENGLAND.
Reports Of Destruction on Land ard

Sea from All Parts of Island.
London, Sept 12.-While the details
OF the havoc wrought by the great
storm which ragged over the British
isles are necessarily incomplete the
reports coming in from all parts of
the United Kingdom show that the
devastation was general. ard It is
feared that the loss of life was much
greater than at first supposed.
Lloyds report over fifty serious cas-
ualties to shipping. All sorts of yes
sels were caught in the gale and many
foundered, several with their entire
crews. a great number of minor
craft Is reported lost and the bodies
washed ashore continue to swell the
list of fatalities. The gale sprang up
with sudden fury from the southwest
and the wind blew with a velocity at
times reaching seventy-two miles an
hour. and this continued for several
hours. All the coast towns suffered
more or less, and the agricultural sec
tions in the interior report great dam
age. owing to the late harvest. In ad-
ditfon to the deaths from drowning
reports from the inland give many
fatalities, resulting. from various
causes incident to the storm.
Dispatches from France and Ger
many indicate that widespread dam
age has been caused by the storm OH
sea and land. Telephone communica-
ton between London and Paris has
not yet been restored and there is
much delay in telegraphic dispatches,
owing to the damage to the conti-
mental lines.

NOTE MAY MEAN MUCH.
Russia and Austria Are Not to Give
Support to Either Side.

London. Sept. 15.-The important
note sent by Bulgaria to the powers.
declaring that unless the latter inter
vened In Macedonia. Bulgaria will be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary. is. held to be a
prelude 70 the mobilization of the
Bulgarian army unless Europe exerts
herself in some way to prevent g con-
fiict, and there is probably some con-
nection between this eventuality' and
the decision of the revolutionists TO
revert to guerrilla tactics. which may
be in order to reserve their forces
for cooperation with Bulgaria. 1t is
announced in Sofa that Prince 'Ferdi-
nand will return to the Bulgarian cap
ital from the Euxinograd in few
days. when the government will take
some decisive step. The Daily Mail
understands that the British cabinet
resolved upon naval cooperation with
waters. and that British warships
will shortly appear at Salonica.
The Sofia correspondent OF the
Times telegraphs that the situation
has changed distinctly for the worse.
He says: THE powers appear to be
pursuing the same tactics which pre-
ceded the Graeco-Turkish war and the
result will probably be similar. In
stead of taking steps to check the
barbarities committed in Macedonia.
they have allowed matters to drift
and are now trying to find remedy
in useless and irritating admonitions

Sofa, Sept. 15.-The Bulgarian go,'
ernment. through its foreign repre-
sentatives, has addressed a note to
the great powers declaring that the
porte is Systematically devastating
Macedonia and massacreing the Chris
tian population. Furthermore. 1t says
Turkey has mobilized her whole army
which can not possibly be for the sole
purpose of suppressing the revolution.
therefore the Bulgarian government
appeals to the humane sentiment of
Europe to prevent the continuance of
the massacres and devastation and to
stop the mobilization of the Turkish
army. The memorandum concluded
with the plain statement that unless
the powers interfere Bulgaria viii be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary.
While it is possible that Turco-
Bulgarian war may even yet be avert
cd the probabilities of such an en-.
counter were never greater than at
the present moment. The note to the
powers. the most decided step yet
taken by the princiDality, was die
tated not only by the alarming reports
of wholesale Massacres and devasta.

by the Indifference of the powers to-

MAckowN is INDICTED.
Grand Jury Of Hamilton County Finds
a True Bill Against Him.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Dec. S.--George Mac
Kown. the deposed manager of the
Northwestern Felt Shoe factory OF this
city, has been indicted by the grand
jury on the charge OF embezzlement.
The amount of the theft with which
he is charged is not known.
MacKown is now supposed to be
somewhere in British Columbia. Can
ada. The Canadian government will
be asked to honor reQuisition papers
and 1t is expected that the absconding
manager will soon be returned to this
city to answer to the crime with which
he is charged. Shortly after the disas-
trous fire on June 15 which totally de-
stroyed the Northwestern Felt Shoe
Company's plant in this city, Mr.. Mac
kown suddenly disappeared. He has
never returned and about month ago
were taken from his beautiful home
and sold at public auction to satisfy a
mortgage of $1,000 held by the Hamil-
ION County State Bank.
The embezzlement with which Mr..
Mackown is charged Is alleged to have
been committed in connection with the
buying of large bills of goods in the
east. During the recent session Of the
grand jury in this city certain Mr..
George Burns. of New York City. was
brought here and was the star witness
in securing the Indictment against
MacKown.
