HANNA PROTESTS.
Says Newspaper Accounts of Ills
 Health Are Misleading.

Cleveland, O., September 1.-Senator Hanna, referring to the sensational re- ports sent out to the effect that he had suffered a relapse and that his condi- ton was worse than at any time since he was taken i'll, said today:
 Well, some of the newspapers may be trying to kill me off in print, but nevertheless l am still attending to bus mess every day. although it is true have not entirely recovered my normal condition"
 The senator again conferred with a very large number of visitors at his of flee, who called to discuss political and private business matters. While he Is still under the care of a physician the senator declares that the reports being constantly sent out about his health are misleading and without foundation.
 MT. Hanna declined today to discuss the speeches of Mayor Tom L. Johnson and Tom Clarke the democratic guberna- torial and senatorial candidates. deliver ed at the opening of the democratic state campaign at Akron. The senator, how ever, will probably make a reply in the speech that he will deliver at the open- ing of the republican state convention at Cnilicothe. September 19.

PROGRAMME OF ARMY MANEU- VERS AT WEST POINT, KY, IS ANNOUNCED AT THE WAR DE- APARTMENT.

Washington. September 1.-The pro- gramme of exercises and duties at West Point. Ky, during the perior of combined maneuvers of regular troops and militia was announced at the war department to- day. The schedule was prepared by a board of officers under the direction and supervision of Gen. John c. Bates, who has charge of the maneuvers.
 The ground available for maneuvers does not permit strategical exercises of several days duration, but requires de- tached exercises in each case not lasting more than twenty-four hours.
 The general strategical assumption upon which the exercises are based is the same in each case, namely the blue army is supposed to have its base on the Ohio river at Louisville and to be operating against the brown army, which has it's base on the Tennessee river. The brown army has advanced to the vicinity of Louisville. The blue army, supposed to have been forced back in previous opera tions, has been reinforced and now re- sumes the offensive.
 The maneuvering ground lies in the vi- cinity of Muldragh Hill and was the scene of actual maneuvers during the civil war.

ORDERS RESULT OF
 RECOMMENDATIONS
FRENCH AUTHORITIES ADVISED BY AMBASSADORS AT CONSTAN- TINOPLE THAT SHIPS ARE NEEDED IN THE LEVANT.

Paris, September 1.-The orders issued today to have a naval division ready to sail for the Levant are the result of the recommendations of the French ambassa- dor at Constantinople to have a strong force in readiness. These recommendations were made during the excitement at Con- stantinople a week ago, but the authori- ties here did not wish to take decisive steps. The Beirut incident led to the prac- tical decision on September that French ships should be sent to Beirut, unless Maxim Pasha, acting yali of Beirut, suc- ceeded in establishing security.
 The foreign office is without further in- formation from Beirut and concludes that the crisis has passed. But the official re- port that it is possible Mussulmans may attack the Christian population of Con- stantinople hastened the issuance of an order for a division to be prepared to leave.
 It is semi-officially stated that the French naval division will also operate at Salonica and other points for the pro- lection of French residents in Macedonia.

Many Families Seeking Safety In Flight Have Beer Literally Gut to Pieces by Soldiers-Greeks
 Aid the Bulgarians.

Sofia, Bulgaria, September 1.-The rev. olutionary headquarters here has received from Burgas news of fearful atrocities committed by the Turkish and Albanian soldiers in the vllayet of Adrianople. A squadron of Turkish cavalry intercepted and slaughtered fugitives attempting to cross into Bulgaria. Sixt. Bulgarians were killed within three kilometers of the frontier. The whole district of Losengrad is filled with Albanian troops, who are burning houses and killing villagers. About fifty persons have been slain near the frontier, fifteen others in the village of Kula, twenty-two old people in the village of Evekler, eighteen families at Taspeta and twenty families at Asmad- villages toward the frontier, have been literally cut to pieces by Turkish soldiers during the last few days.
 large body of infantry and cavalry with three mountain batteries attacked an insurgent band in the mountains above approach of the troops and then hurled bombs at them. After two hours fight ing the Turks were forced to retire with the loss of twenty men killed and many wounded. The losses of the insurgents were slight.
 The first indication of the Greeks aiding the Bulgarans against Turkey appears In a circular addressed by the general staff of the Eighth revolutionary district to the Greek towns and villages in the vilayet of Adrianople. It expresses pleas ure at hearing that the Greeks desire to join their Bulgarian brethren in the fight for liberty and invites the Greeks to send delegates to formulate plans for joint action.
 The mfxed population of Grc aks and Bol- garians in fifteen villages of the district of Kostur, have joined the insurrecton.

Monday Fall River VIII Gain
 100000 More SpindIes
COTTON CENTERS ARE EASY
New England Mills Are Recovering From Period of Depression, AL though Conditions Have
 Not Become Normal.

Boston, September 11.-Despite the con- tinued high selling price of raw cotton In the market and the dullness in manufact- ured cottons reported by mercantile ageh- cies, the industrial outlook In the textiie centers of New England seem to nave distinctly improved since week ago. Be- ginning Monday, Fall River will make net gain of 100000 spindles in operation It appears that the season of curtailment is nearing an end in Fall River and that when the mills that are to be idle next week start up again, 1t will be to run on the normal basis. New Bedford mills are again in receipt of sufficient orders to keep the plants in operation.
 The northern New England cotton cen ters seem confident and contented with their industrial prospects. Lowell has been running full force and time since the strike. No sign of curtailment is visible. The Nashua mills started this week, with raw cotton enough to carry them over till December 1, when their agents anticipate lower prices.
 There is no change in the satisfactory situation at Manchester. where the mills have had little trouble. The Hamilton mills at Amesbury have curtailed pro- duction to about one-half the normal out put but on the other hand, two Lewiston mills which have been closed will open again the first of next month, having been able to buy cotton at living prices.
 It is true that conditions in the cotton mill business are not yet returned to nor nal. Cotton is high and manufactured cottons are low. By curtailment. volun- tary and forced by strikes. the stock of manufactured cottons has been lessened; but the prices of the raw material may be influenced by the reported short and inferior crops in certain sections.

the firm of Maybury 6 Ellis letter box manufacturers, said:
 "Our business relations with MT. Scheble ceased two years ago. when he was given the contract for furnishing the govern ment with mail boxes of his own design. Before that time MT. Scheble was inter- ested with us for period of one year be- ginning six years ago. We manufactured a box which he originated and which was accepted by the government. Finally the postoffice department went back to the boxes which were formerly in use, and two years ago, when Mir Schepie secured the contract, our relations with him ter minated. There was nothing underhanded in our deal with the government in the matter of mail boxes and the fact that MT. Scheble was once associated with us has nothing to do with his present posi- ton, neither are there any grounds on which the postoffice department could con- meet us with the matter"
