K4STORIA DESTROYED.
Turks Reported to Haze Perpetrated
Unparalleled Massacre.

Sofia. Sept 1.-THE Bulgarian Foreign Office
here has received trustworthy information that
the Turks have DESTROYED the town OF Kastoria.
thirty-six miles south OF Monastir. and have
rnassacred the population.
The report of the massacre comes from
sources admitting OF little doubt though the de-
tails are lacking IT was received with the
gTavest concern by the officials here. The popu-
lation Of Kastoria numbers about ten thousand
persons. and the massacre Of such number in
one place. if the report is true. exceeds any
thing which has yet occurred in Macedonia At
the present critical moment, when popular feel
ing is intense. the effect OF the report Of such a
stupendous butchery will be most serious.
Kastoria which is also called KOstur and Kesrie
in Macedonia in the vilayet Of MOnastir
and the sandjak OF Prisrend. about thrty-six
miles south OF Monastir 1t Is the western
banks Of a lake which is six miles long aud four
miles broad The lake empties into the IndjeS, or
Bistrtza.
The town was the seat OF a caimacam. or
Turkish governor, and its inhabitants were reputed
prosperous. Turks occupied three OF the twelve
districts into which Kastoria divided Two
districts were Inhabited by Jews and the rest by
Christians.
In ancient history Kastoria was known as Cele-
t1um which was captured by Sulpicius In the
first Macedonian campaign. 200 B. c. The town
also made itself famous some twelve centuries
later, when, under the leadership OF Bayennlus
It's inhabitants repulsed Alexis l. in lOS4

VIII not confne Its investigations to

The secretary Of agriculture VIII ask

preparation for carrying on the work 81
soil incubation, says Washington
special to the New York Times. This
Is a new branch of work in the depart

coYeries made within the last few
years in regard to the dependence 81
leguminous plants on bacteria which

described by scientists as one OF the
most Important of those made as the
results Of modern agricultural expert

The department viii take up the plan
Of supplying free to farmers IN an
parts Of the United States the particu-
lar bacteria for inoculation which they
may desire and apply for, a large lab
oratory has been fitted up for this
work.
The method viii be to propagate the
bacteria required IN large quantities
for each Of the various leguminous
plants, such as clover, alfalfa, soy
beans, cowpeas. tares and velvet
beans. All these plants are Of meal
culable value in different sections of
the country as sources of forage fer
farm animals III the west alfalfa fl
the universal reliance for stock raisers,
and the farmers Of the east arc trying
to establish it, but meet with great diff
lculty in doing so chiefly for want Of
the special bacteria Which should be
found In the roots.
The function Of these bacteria is to
fix the nitrogen OF the air and supply
It as food to the plant Without the
presence Of the bacteria the plant can
get only the nitrogen which is supplied
from the soil in fertilizers With the
aid Of the bacteria the growing plant
can derive the greater part Of its food
from the air.
The department viii send the pack
ages which contain the preparations
for inoculation under the frank Of the
department or Of representatives or
senators who may apply for them iii
behalf Of constituents. The bacteriolo-
gists Of the department have been at
work for over year past on the
scheme and have tested their work
carefully at the Arlington farm. These
tests have uniformly proved success
full.
Secretary Wilson is very enthusiastic
over the subject and regards it as the
most important accomplishment Of the
many that have marked his administers
