If. Mr.. Lowry desires further infor-
nation as to the need of a cross-town
street car line in st. Paul, he is invited
to take a glance at the conditions of
the traffic of his system in this city
during the state fair, and to read the
published opinions of all those who do
not fear his displeasure. We publish
on this page this morning an article on
the subject from the Pioneer Press of
Sunday last, setting forth clearly and
convincingly what st. Paul wants most
at this time and why. 1t will be echoed
by every citizen.
The other source of information to
which he have referred is striking.

RISING IN NORTHERN
MACEDONIA is ON
Last Night Was the Time Fixed
for Its ProcIama-
ton.

LONDON, Sept 1.-The Times
correspondent at Sofia hears
that the rising in Northern Macedonia
was to be proclaimed last night. Prince
Ferdinand, he says, had a long inter-
view at Constanza with the Roumanian
premier yesterday before embarking
for Burgas.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 91.-Both in
official and revolutionary circles the
opinion is freely held that war between
Bulgaria and Turkey is imminent and
can be averted by nothing short of a
miracle. It is not expected that either
government will formally declare hos
tilities. but that the prevailing condi-
tons will force on a war.
There is no question that large num-
bers of insurgents have recently. cross
ed the frontier. An extensive outbreak
in Northern Macedonia is possible any
day. The Autonomie prints q tele-
gram from Constantinople declaring
that the sultan, influenced by the cOun-
sells of Germany, now favOrs a war
with Bulgaria. The Turks here, how
ever, take an optimistic view, assert
ing that there is no danger of a war,
as Turkey does not desire one and
Prince Ferdinand and the present Bull
garian government are not in a posi-
ton to force hostilities.
The Bulgarian agent at Uskub re-
ports that the detaChmentS of Turkish
troops sent to garrison the small towns
in that Vilayet have spread destruction
along their route; the villagers have
been robbed and beaten, the women
violated and the Christian population
subjected to every conceivable out
rage, while the local authorities appear
to be helpless to stop the atrocities. At
the village of Drachevo, six miles from
Uskub, the soldiers attacked all the
peasants without the gendarmeS in
terfering on behalf of the latter. The
Bulgarian agents charge similar eX-
cesses in many other villages and the
position of Bulgarian residents is re-
ported to be terrible, as the cruelties
committed by the Turkish troops eX-
coed all limits.
SALONICA, Aug. 31.-The Turks
have occupied Klissura, Albania, with
out resistance. A number of Bull
garian villages in it's vicinity were
burned. Inspector General Milma Pa
sha recently sent a commission, COM
posed of five Christians and five Turks
to offer amnesty to the insurgents on
condition that they lay down their
ans before the great feast tomorrow in
honor of the sultans coronation.
The revolt has become general at
GAIA and Yenidje, twenty-five miles
from Salonica, and is spreading to
Gherghli and Tikhvesh, siXty-five miles
from Salonica. Sarafoff, the revolu-
tiOnary leader. has arrived in the
neighborhOOd of SalOnica for the pur-
pose of directing the movements in this
district. Some Turkish officers Aug.

ening of public conscience in the duty
of electing public officials, from high
est to lowest, without which repre-

more than at best a partial and un-

fare are transferred from one line to
another, are hauled far out of their
way, and must be provided for in the
same cars that carry the crowd from
the union depot, the hotels and the
business section generally, when all
this congestion could be relieved and
all this superf1uous and expensive
work avoided. This is surely as short
sighted policy as ever a business enter
prise adhered to, without any reason
that can be stated.
If there were cross town line in ex-
istence this week, it would, with a very
few cars, carry tens of thousands of
visitors to and from the fair. These
people would be vastly accommodated
in comfort and in time. They could
spend half an hour more each morning
and afternoon at home or at the fair
grounds as they might choose. All this
traffic would be taken from the one
line which. now scarcely suffices for
the business. A CORRESPONDENCE small
er number of cars would have to make
the long haul. Everybody's comfort
would be consulted and the saving
would be immense.
The conditions existing this week
are merely an eXaggeration of those
to be seen every day. The difference
is solely in the number of people to be
served. But every day there is plenty
of travel to fill the cars of a cross
town line with as many people as they
can carry suitably. The street railway
company is hauling them miles out Of
it's way and theirs, at cost not in
considerable, simply because, for rea-
sons that it has not revealed, it does
not build and shows no disposition to
build the one line which our people
want more than all others.
The necessity needs no demonstra-
ton, but one has been furnished that
cannot escape the most careless OBJ
server. The street railway company
is asked to do something that will i'm
prove our facilities and our business,
but not at it's own cost. It's advan-
tage is so clearly on the same side
that one would suppose it might in
