PREMIER PETRoFF TALKS.
Bulgaria in no Way Responsible for
 Uprising.

Sofia, Aug. 15.-Premier PetrofE has just returned from a visit to the Macedonian frontier. where it touches the district of Dubnitza, and he takes 6 somewhat opti- mistic view of the situation In Macedonia. He believes the outbreak win be confined to the vilayet of Monastir.
 When interviewed today by a represen- tative of the Associated Press. he discuss ed the condition of affairs frankly and at length. Regarding the reports that Bull 3aria was responsible for the outbreak, he pointed out that-the center of the disturb ed area is nearly 200 miles from the Bull Rarian frontier. and is separate from it by a country largely inhabited by Turks. Consequently, he said, 1t is foolish to say that. the movement is aided by bands from Bulgaria and that it is equally unreason- able to suggest that the arms of the in- sNrgents came from Bulgaria. He assert sd that as a matter of fact the guns used by the insuTectionists are all of French manufacture and that most of them were bought from Turkish officers and men who, receiving no pay. had resorted to the sale of their guns and ammunition to obtain money.
 The insurrection, he declared, was en- tirely a national Macedonian movement organized by the Macedonian Information a Committee. which in itself was proof

RICE GROWING IN TEXAS.
The Crop May in Time Become an
 Important Export.

Washington, Aug. 15.-According to a bulletin issued by the census bureau to- day there are 226, ,3O5 acres of land under irrigation in the State of Texas. The system includes 1.075 miles of canal and cost s, 91,S15. The widest application of the system has been made in connection with the rice industries
 The irrigated rice plantations number 657 with an acreage of 170396. In this connection the report says:
 While all the rice systems did not prove successful In 1902, the failures of the most part are not without remedy. Larger experience and better knowledge of soil and crop requirements will obviate their recurrence, and the industry. which within a year has grown large enough to make the importation of rice no longer necessary, will doubtless expand until rice will become an important export"
 It is also stated that Texas ranks sec cnd among the States in the utilization of underground waters fo' irrigation. The development of this source of water sup ply has been large In the Panhandle, the Llano Estacado. Edwards plateau and other sections which are without surfcial waters. Flowing wells are being brought into general use in many parts of tho rice belt. In 1909. $50 wells were operated to irrigate 2O.219 acres. The cost of these plants was $246, ,153 and the value of the irrigated products more than double that amount.

SURGEONS SHARP PRACTICE.
Pass Men Said to be Unfit fol
 Duty.

New York. Aug. 15.-As result of an accidental discovery at the New York navy yard it is probable that special medical board will be appointed by the Department in Washington to investigate the work that Is being done by civilian surgeons in examining applicants for places in the service. and that the prac- tice of employing such surgeons may be abandoned.
 Two men who had been examined for the marine corps and passed by sur geon in a city in Michigan. after report ing to the New York navy yard, were put in the hands of a marine. who was in- structed to take them to the equipment bureau for uniforms and other parts Of their outfit. By mistake the recruits were taken before a surgeon, who. after short examination, rejected them as being to- tally unfit for duty.
 Medical Director Price was astounded when he learned of the discovery. He Is holding the men at the barracks, and they will be carefully re-examiued by a special board of surgery. He also recom' mended that a special board be formed to investigate the entire system of exalnina' ton by civilian doctors.

sMALL HoPE roR TREATY.
Panama May Seceds if it is Not Rati.
 fled.

Panama, Aug. 15-Letters received from Bogota say that up to August 1. the Pan- anna Canal Committee held only one meet ing on account of the disgust of the mem bers with the conduct of Senator Perez y Soto. who insisted on recalling the treaty at the first meeting.
 Senator Obaldia. a warm supporter oe the treaty, has had several conferences with President Marroduin and United States Minister Beaupre and notwith- standing their efforts, the Committee could not be induced to report in favor of ratification. Amendments have been offered which will meet the approval of twenty Senators out of twenty-four.
 Both the House of Representatives and the Senate are deeply impressed with the persistent rumors which reach Bogota of the possibility of movement for the ee- cession of the isthmus in case the treaty Is not ratified The fear that such an eventuality might follow failure to ratify the treaty appears to constitute the only chance for favorable action on the treaty.
