ROOTS RETIREMENT,
General Taft, Governor of Philip
pines, May Succeed Him.

General Taft, Governor of Philip
pines, May Succeed Him.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. - Before
Secretary Root sails for London to sit
with the Alaskan commission he will
place his resignation in the hands of
President Roosevelt in order that the
president may appoint secretary Of
war If 1t Is deemed necessary during
MIR. Roots absence. 1t is expected,
however, that the resignation will not
be acted upon until after congress
meets. The appointment of Mr. Roots
successor will depend somewhat upon
the length of time that Secretary Root
will be engaged upon the Alaskan
boundary commission.
1t has been known for some time that
Secretary Root intended to retire, but
he did not wish to leave the department
until the general staff bill was In oper-
alton and other matters pertaining to
the department We're well under way.
1t is understood that the matter of his
successor has been discussed, and,
while nothing official can be obtained,
1t is believed that the position will be
rendered to Governor Taft.
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds. His family does not like the
life in Washington, and the secretary
desires also to return to his law prac-
tice in New York city. The great ques-
tions that were pending in the war de-
partment, relating mainly to the ad-
ministration Of the islands acquired
from Spain and the establishment Of q
government in Cuba, have been settled
during Secretary Roots administration.
The reorganization Of the army un-
der the general staff plan is now under
way, and the secretary feels that he
has accomplished the work that he was
called on to do when he became secre-
tary Of war.

Fear a Smallpox Epidemic.

The health authorities OF Pennsyl-
vania fear general epidemic of small
pox as soon as the cool weather OF
autumn sets in, and the sanitary
officers in all the towns and cities are
being quietly urged to exert every
effort to prevent the disease gaining a
foothold in their r spective communi-
ties. Smallpox is slowly but surely
gaining foothold in many cities OF
the State, but the fact is kept secret
by the authorities and the press of the
communities where the disease exists.
In Philadelphia last week there were
ten deaths from the contagion.

MACEDONIA SPEAKS.
Europe Must Intervene to
Remedy Evils.
WANT A CHRISTIAN GOVERNOR.
The Revolutionists Under Their
Leader, Boris sarafon, Have RE-
solved to Fight the Matter
Out to the Bitter End.


SOFIA, Aug. 1.-THE delegates of
the Macedonian committee have ad.
dressed the following appeal to each of
the powers:
"The Mussulmans' systematic perse.
cution has compelled the Christians in
Macedonia and the vilayet of Adrian
pie to institute n general rising They
lave had recourse to this extreme
measure after eXhausting all pacific
means to secure the Intervention of
Europe to enforce the provisions of the
Berlin treaty. At the present moment
this intervention is the only means of
remedying the evil and stopping blood
shed, the sporadic efforts of the pow
ers to secure reforms having failed.
They resulted merely in a recrudes-
cence of Turkish fanaticism and gov
ernment oppression.
''It is evident that reform measures
to be efficaclous must include the ap-
pointment of Christian governor gen
eral of Macedonia, some one who has
never held office under the porte and
who must be Independent of the Turk.
functions, and the further appoint
ment by the powers of joint, perma-
nent administrative board, with full
powers to deal with any disturbances
Having published the foregoing
facts to the civilized world and made
known the causes which have driven
the Macedonians to despair, the COM
mittee for the Macedonlans now in
arms proposes to continue the fight till
the object of their uprising has been
attained"
The number of insurgents in the dis
trict of Monastir is 5000. They are
armed with rifles purchased in Greece.
Six hundred insurgents have destroyed
three detachments of Turkish troops
numbering altogether 100 and attacked
the town of Kitchevo, but failed to oc-
cupy 1t. The insurgents however, de-
stroyed the Turkish village of Drou-
govo, whose inhabitants had come to
the assistance of the garrison of Kit
chevo. 1t is reported that three Chris,
tian villages - Smilevo, Krouche and
Bolno-near Monastir have been COM
petely destroyed by the Turkish
troops.
1t is officially reported that fifteen
Turkish villages in the vilayet of
Okhrida have been burned by the Bull
garian revolutionists. There were many
victims.
Boris Sarafoff. the active leader of
;he Macedonian insurgents, has warned
the directors of the Oriental railway
not to sell passenger tickets, for all the
railways, he says, will be destroyed.

PARIS TUNNEL HORROR.
Eiyhty-two Bodies Taken From Un-
derground Train.

PARIS, Aug. 11.--A catastrophe in
which about ninety persons were kill
ed, eighty-two of whose bodies have
been found. occurred last evening on
the Metropolitan Electric railway,
which runs mostly underground. One
of the trains which run on five minute
schedules broke down ut Menilmontant
station which is in poor and popu-
lous section of the city. This train was
promptly emptied, and the train which
followed was ordered to push 1t to the
repairing sheds. On the way these two
trains caught fire, but the employees
succeeded in escaping.
Other trains ran into the burning
carriages, and the conductors told the
passengers to escape as best they could.
A panic ensued. in which five persons
are known to have been injured. The
tiremen and police, who were immedi-
ately sent for, took steps to restore or
der and save the lives of the many pas
sengers who were imperiled, but ev-
erything combined to make the task
one of extraordinary difficulty, and II
was midnight before they could even
begin to fight the flames.
Chauven, the dlsver of train 43, be-
lieves that piece of metal must have
fallen on the rails, causing short cir
cult which produced sparks and fred
the guttapercha wire covering. He
used the hand grenades that were in
the motor cabin, but these were of no
avail.
Owing to the extinguishment of the
electric light in the tunnel the passen-
gers instead of going toward the Rue
des Couronnes station rushed toward
the dead wall at the entrance of the
tunnel. The walls to height of six
feet are covered with blood There Is
also large pool of blood on the ground
in which float hats, umbrellas and even
a loaf of bread.

CIRCUS TRAIN WRECK.

would Not work.
DURAND. Mich. Aug. S.--An mir
brake on the second section of Wallace
Bros. circus train refused to work in
the Grand Trunk railway yards, caus-
ing collision between the two sec
tions, in which twenty-thrce persons
were killed and about thirty injured.
Two of the injured died at the hos
pital Seven of the dead are unidenti-
fed
The circus travels In two trains of
about thirty-five cars each. After the
exhibition at Charlotte the two trains
left for Lapeer over the Grand Trunk
road, the second section leaving half
hour after the first 1t was quarter
to o'clock when the first section pull
ed Into the west end of the Grand
Trunk yards here. A red light was
hung on the rear car to stop the sec
ond section.
Engine Driver Propst Of Battle
Greek, who was running the engine Of
the rear train, says he saw this light
and applied the air brake. To his horror
II refused to work. He reversed his en-
gine, but the momentum of the heavy
train behind was too great, and with
n cash which aroused all of the town
near the yards the two trains met.
Three cars of the stationary first sec
ton were telescoped and the engine
and five cars were demolished. The
rear of the first section was caboose,
in which the trainmen were sleeping,
and the next two were filed with sleep
Ing circus employees.
The official report on the accident is
sued by Superintendent Brownlee de-
clares positively that the air brakes
have been tested since the accident and
found to be in perfect condition, and
there is evidence that they were not
applied.

TROLLEY STRIKE ENDS.
Waterbury Car Men Return (,
Work.

WATERBURY, Conn, Aug. 10.-The
strike of trolley men which began thir-
ty weeks ago has been settled the Con-
necticut Railway and Lighting compa-
ny agreeing to take back part of the
strikers at once at the old wages, to
give employment to the others as soon
as practicable and to treat with a COM

grievances.
The announcement of the settlement
led to general public demonstration
of joy throughout the city, and the ex-
citement which prevailed was almost
equal to that which attended the riot
early in the strike which led to the
calling out of the state militia.
