TURKS BADLY DEFEATED.

Three Battalions Almost Annihilated
Near Sa1onica.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 16-The
Feast of the Cross passed off without
disturbance at Beirut.

own at several points and are inflicting
defeats on the Turks in the districts Of
Moripova and Melnik, sixty-five miles
from Salonica, where three Turkish bat
talions have almost been annihilated.
The local authorities at Monastir are
seeking to prevent the foreign Consuls
and correspondents leaving the town, un-
der the allegation that their lives will be
endangered.
1t is said that the Sultan was much
annoyed when he learned that Albanian
troops had been dispatched to Adrianople.

John p. Magee Of the Thirty-third As
sembly District seconded the nomination
and made an unhappy aliusiOn TO Michael
Casey, whom the Schmitz end is trying to
mollify and bring into it's camp. Magee
said that Conley had been a victim Of
Michael Casey, meaning that Casey had
turned Conley down. Conley was nOmi-
mated by acclamation and when called
upon for speech took the opportunity
to correct the statement made by Magee
He thanked the delegates for the honor
conferred upon him and assured them he
would make an active campaign for him
self and the rest of the ticket. He said
Michael Casey and himself had had some
differences, but were the best of friends.
Il hope to see Mr.. Casey come right be-

tinuation of the eXcesses in Macedonia by
the Turkish troops and irregulars.
The Daily Chronicle says~it understands
that Great Britain has decided upon a
still stronger step, in the dispatch of a
British squadron in support of her diplo-
matte endeavors in Constantinople to put
an end to the massacres. 1t is impossible,
however, to confirm or deny the Daily
Chronicles statement.
Most of the special correspondents in
the near East consider war inevitable, but
think II may yet be delayed, neither the
Bulgarians nor the Turks being really
prepared for it. The former are not suffi-
GENTLY armed, while Turkey does not feel
safe until her lines of communication are
less at the mercy Of Bulgarian insurgent
bands.
A Vienna paper asserts that Prince Fer
dinand of Bulgaria has sent trusted
agent to King Peter, inviting cooperation
against Turkey.
The correspondent in Sofia of the Daily
Telegraph says that Bulgaria's reply to
the Portes protest against the continual
crossing of the frontier by bands and the
smuggling of arms and ammunition from
Bulgaria was couched in most uncom-
promising language, leaving no prospect,
whatever Of an amicable arrangement.
The Sofia correspondent of the Times
saws that the decision of Bulgaria to par
TALLY mobilize the army is universally ap-
proved It is urged that the troops will
be exclusively designed to close the from
tier against the passage of insurgent
bands and that the step was resorted to in
obedience to the dictates of the great
Powers. The decision, therefore, should
not offend Turkeys susceptibilities-

District Attorney Byington and Police
Judges Mogan and Cabaniss are slated
for nomination by McNab's convention.
Their followers attended the Labor party
convention last night and boasted that
they were sure of Endorsement In that
quarter. Several delegates, however, were
quite free in expressing the opinion that
nothing could weaken the Labor party
so much in the estimation of the people
as failure to make straightforward, tnde-
pendent nominations.

that at the initial session of the conven-
ton he had been empowered to appoint q

DILLON FOR CORONER.

William ]. Mindham, an energetic youth
of the Twenty District, nominated
Dr. John F. Dillon for Coroner. Mind
ham possessed a loud voice, but created
much amusement by calling the delegates
attention to the generosity of his candi-
date He paid DR.. Dillon some sincere
tributes. He told how the physician had
given his services to the poor without ac
cepting a dollar remuneration. He also
told of his giving drugs away to the fam
lilies of the union men who were out on
strike. He told how we'll the doctor ran
for the office of Coroner at the last cleo
ton and he prophesied that DR.. Dillon
would surely be elected this time. That
Dillon is a popular man is evidenced by
the splendid ovation he received when he
was escorted to the platform He was
nominated by acclamation and in his
speech of acceptance spoke for harmony
in the party and expressed the desire to
see the entire ticket elected. He accepted
the platform of his party and said he
would stand by his pledges. He assured
the delegates that he would be a just
Coroner If elected and would do nothing
to cause any regret on the part Of the

an exhibition of unspeakable cheek and in

that the Union Labor party has been delivered
into the hands of Republican politicians and
that we are part and parcel OF the
Republican organization Of this city. 1t may

labor who may be deceived and take seriously
the remarks Of Mr.. Hickey, but II they
derstood his motives, as the most ordinary
