Constantinople, Aug. 27.-The bomb
which wrecked the train near Kuleli
Burgas, was thrown by a third class pas
senger who was in the buffet car. Only
two car were destroyed. The dead in
clude two Mussulmans women, two chill
dren and three trainmen.
The continued absence Of news from the
interior of Macedonia, where there is
widespread interruption Of telegraphic
communication, Is causing great uneasi-
ness to the Turkish officials here and
much unrest among the public.
War between Turkey and Bulgaria is
regarded as inevitable unless some way
speedily is found to arrest the reciprocal
slaughter and destruction Of Macedonia.
The Turks are stirred to a high pitch
Of excitement by the stories told by Greek
and Moslem refugees who have reached
the shores of the Bosporus from the an
initiated villages in the districts where
the insurgents are operating. These per-
sons allege that the Bulgarian forces in
eastern Macedonia are killing men, wom-
en- and children Unfortunately and set
ting fire to everything combustible. They
say that armed bands descend upon the
villages in broad daylight and carry out
their dreadful work with remorseless
rigor.
Several foreign diplomats who visited
the refugees in their camps have returned
with a gloomier view than ever of the
prospects of war between Turkey and Bull
garia. They cannot see how a general
outbreak of Mosem fury can much longer
be averted. Austria and Russia are still
supported by all the powers and they
persist In their endeayor to lOcalize the
struggle pending the issue of new negotia-
tions with Turkey, which it Is understood
here, are about to be 1naugurated.

ocrsltic national convention it will bolt and
nominate third ticket. Towne is fav-
ored by Bryan as the head of this boiling
contingent, according to the Harrington
speech.
Much interest is taken here in that
speech. 1t seems to foreshadow that the
Bryan followers will, before resort1ng to
rash measures, go to the democratic con-
vention in an effort to control it. Towne,
is is now believed, will be a delegate from
New York and will ably second the efforts
of the Bryanites. Indeed, it may be that
he will be their leader on the convention
floor for nobody supposes that Bryan
himself will be a delegate.
There will be a contest very similar to
that which occurred in the republican ma
tional convention in st. Louis in 1896, and
it will probably have similar results,
and Towne and the rest of the Bryan
following will walk out after having made
their protest either against the platform
or against the candidate who is likely to
receive the nomination.
Then will come a convention and APP
parently it is Bryan's hope that ToWne
will accept the presidential nomination at
it's hands-at least that is the interpreta-
ton put on the Harrington speech by
politicians in Washington.
Under these conditions the third ticket,
while possibly, masquerading under some
form of the democratic name, would in
fact be the old populist party, the holders
of which would rally to its support and
make the republican pluralities proper
tionately larger in the middle west states.

RETURNING TO

Subcommittee Of Senate Committee
on Territories Reached
Seattle To-day.
Impressed With Alaska and the JUS
tice of It's Claim for a
Delegate.
sneo;a1 TO The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Victoria, B. c., Aug 27.-The revenue
cutter McCulloch dropped anchor in Vic
toria harbor yesterday from Nome,
having on board the subcommittee
II of the senate committee on territories.
The party is all we'll and report a very
pleasant and profitable trip. The travel
Iers left some two months ago for an ex-
tensive tour of Alaska, going by way Of
Skaguay, Dawson and down the Yukon to
st. Michael and Nome, thence by Seal Is
lands and Dutch Harbor and along the
southern coast by way of Kadiak, Valdez
and Sitlsa.
/ Members of the committee are evidently
persuaded that Alaska should have a dele
gate in congress, but probably are not pre-
pared to make him elective. The con-
struction of a national highway from
Valdez to Eagle by government aid seems
to be regarded with favor
The committee is much impressed with
the fact that Alaska needs improved ia
ciit1es for inland transportation. It is be-
llieved, too, that the building Of a wagon
road thru the interior from the south
coast will stimulate the development of
the country to such an extent as to hasten
materially the time when private capital
will construct railroad over practically
the same route Valdez to Eagle on the
II Yukon river.
+ The committee also seems inclined to
favor taking practical steps to perfetuate
4 the salmon and other fisheries by having
4 the government establish government
B hatcheries, to be supported by taxes levied
/ on the canneries and other fisheries &C.
cording to their output. This plan is also
4 favored by the experts of the United
Estates fish commission, who are now
i working in Alaskan waters.
Il The committeeman left Seattle last
evening, where they win separate fol

MeetIno Petitions the Powers.

Sofia, Aug. PA mass meeting of
Macedonians took place here yesterday.
It was decided that a memorandum should
be presented to the representatives of the
great powers at Sofia, urging their gov
ernments to take action.
The secret visit of the Russian squad
ron to Turkish waters was much COM
mented upon at the meeting
1t was described as "a moment of sun
shine, which quickly passed away" The
speakers impa ssionately appealed for the
immediate intervention Of the powers In
Macedonia, declaring that If the pouring
out of blood in Macedonia continues an
other fortnight, Europe would find nobody
there to save.
The Bulgarian ministers were urged not
to stand by while their brethren were dy-
Ing in Macedonia.

Mrs. White was graduate of the dental
school of the state university and prac-
ticed dentistry in this city until she left
here three wears ago. It has been two
years since her husband, Mr.. White, or
other members of her family have heard
from her.
Last Message Received.
She was practicing dentistry in Dawson
City two years ago, when she sent a let
tie rto her relatives here saying that she
was going into the interior and would
probably not be heard from for some time.
Nothing was heard from her until the dis
patch to The Journal told Of her
horrible end.
Altho no trace Of the woman's body has
been found, there seems to be not the
slightest doubt that she wandered into
the Copper river valley, where she died
from exhaustion, her body being devoured
by wild beasts, and only the leaves Of her
diary being left to tell her people what
she suffered.
How the Story Came.
In a letter written to the Post-IntelN-
gencer, dated Central Alaska, July 20,
1903, William Shafer, a petty officer In
the employ of the government signal
corps, related the story of the find in one
Of the widest portions Of the Copper river
country Shafer secured the letters and
the diary tending to show that the writer
persisted from cold and hunger under cir
cumstances most pitiable.
While trying to make her way unac-
companied to an interior camp In the
Copper river country, Mrs. White says
she was lost In the mountains for days
She wandered thru the canyons of the To-
cality in a vain endeavor to find some
human habitation. Twice she had mar
row escapes from wild beasts.
Once she escaped death at the hands 81
a vicious mountain lion by wading into
a small lake up to her chin. For two
hours she stood in the Icy water, while the
rayenous beast crouched on the edge OF
the lake, snarling and licking his vicious
chops Finally the cat got tired OF wait
ing and skunk away in a canyon. More
dead than alive, Mrs. White emerged
from the water and lay down exhausted
But the desire to let her family In hel
old home know that she was penitent foi
wrong which she had committed an6
which, it is inferred drove her from hel
once happy family, was strong. and witt
her remaining energy she scrfbbled with
an indelible pencil the letters and diary
which recorded her wanderings and sui
erings UP to the time that hunger deprived
her Of strength to write
| + Skater took possession Of these letters
| and diary and also made a diligent searcf

| ever, and returned to camp. Shafer for
warded copies of the letters and the diary

White might be informed Of his wife!

AUSTRIA FEARS WAR

Vienna, Aug. 27.-It Is felt in high
quarters that unless the events in Mace

ports sent out from there, diplomacy must
shortly discover a more effective way OF
meeting the situation or else it must give
place to war. Happily, thus far, there is
no breach in the unity Of the powers.

the Balkan peninsula, the European gov
ernments will do their utmost to confine
the conflict to that region. King Edward 8

A Possible Cause for Deed.
Several months ago in this correspond
ence attention was called to the efforts
of American consults in Syria, more, par
ticularly at Beirut, to introduce American
agricultural machinery, and modernize
other phases of agriculture. These eff
forts while successful on the surface, eX-
cited the bitter opposition and finally the
hatred Of the lower classes.
Last summer a large body Of Bedouins
came to Beirut while a test was being
made with modern American reaper and
binder. They gathered on horseback on
a neighboring hill and their mutterings
were loud. and long. They complained that
the new process cleaned up the fields SO
completely that there was nothing left
for the poorer people, who for thousands
of years had been accustomed to follow
after the old time hand reapers, like Ruth
after Boaz, their gleanings being sufficient
to keep them in food for months. They
AFFECTED again because the new machinery
threw SO many natives out Of employment.
Similar objections were made to other
modern devices which the American con-
sui undertook to Introduce into Beirut
and the later consular reports, while
speaking rather lightly of the opposition,
made it clear that the peoplpe We're hostile
to all modern innovations.
Whether the assassination had anything
to do with these conditions Is not yet
known here but 1t is shrewdly suspected
that they are in some way connected with
it. w. W. Jermane.
