gents. A force of 1900 troops besieged the
place and bombarded it with artillery.
The fighting with the revoIutionists is still
proceeding outside the town.
Consular advtces from MonaStir and Sa-
lcnica indorse the belief that any overt
movement in those towns on the part of the
revolutionary committees will lead to q
massacre of the Bulgarian inhabitants by
the Mussulmans.
The panic continues at Monastir. where
the shops are closed.
Dispatches received by the porte give
particulars Of a number of encounters
with the insurgents. The latter attacked
the village of Gumenje, throwing bombs
in it, but official dispatches say they were
repulsed. The foreign representatives have
demanded of the porte protection for the
consuls and foreign residents at Monastir.
The grand vizier has promised effective
measures of protection.
The .Mussulmans in the disturbed area are
persistently demanding arms and ammuni-
ton to protect themselves against the
Christians. This is considered dangerous
factor in the situation.

REGARDING GLOVE CONTRACTS.
Mr.. Day Goes to Massachusetts, to Con-
suit the Attorney General.

w. A. Day, who is acting attorney gen.
eral of the Department of Justice, has left
Washington for Beverly Farms, Mass. for
a conference with Attorney General Knox.
who is spending the summer there. The
object of Mr. Days trip is not known. but
1t is understood to be almost entirely re.
garding the Littauer case. which was re-
ferred to the Department Of Justice by the
War Department for a decision as tY
whether Representative Littauer has
violated any law Of the United States in
the matter of the glove contract. The
opinion sought by the War Department is
naturally one of great Importance While
it is regarded as likely that Mr.. Day, who
is the Attorney Generals main assistant,
will write the opinion, he would probably
confer for some time and on1au the detaile
with the Attorney General before getting
the document in shape for promulgation.
Mr.. Knox would also go over 1t when COM
plete and sign 1t as his own decision. Mr.
Day will be at Beverly Farms for several
days.
M. D. Purdy. assistant attorney general
has left Washington on his vacation and
will be away some time. During the abb
sence of Messrs. Day and Purdy Mr.. Nc.
Reynolds, the new assistant attorney gen.
eral. will be acting attorney general.

PUT INTO PORT.
Rough Weather Obliged Secretary
Moody to Go to Vineyard Haven.

a telegram was received at the Navy
Department this morning saying that the
dispatch boat Dolphin, which was taking
Secretary Moody from Boston to Oyster
Bay to assist the President in the review
Of the North Atlantic squadron. had been
obliged by stress of weather to put into
Vineyard Haven with the expectation of
remaining there until the prevailing storm
subsidies. In case of hurricane appearing
in that vicinity it is more than probable
that the Secretary of the Navy will con-
clude to make the trip to the summer
executive mansion on Sycamore Hill over
land by rail instead Of uttafxine the Dolphin
for that purpose.
The naval yacht Mayaower. which has
been fitted out at the New York navy yard
for the special use of the President on the
occasion of the review and af1erward, ar
rived at Oyster Bay this morning and her
commanding officer. Commander Gibbons,

Zimmerman's Friends Confident.
The friends of John L. Zimmerman OF
Springfield. candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor. are jubilant over
the result of the county conventions to
date. They are now claiming 225 pledged
votes and are conceding but ninety to john
son. Webster P. Huntington, manager of
the Zimmerman candidacy, states that Mr..
Zimmerman is not insistent on naming the
entire state ticket. He favors j. Edward
Hurst of New Philadelphia for lieutenant
governor and Judge Dempsey of Cincinnati
for supreme court judge but is willing to
concede all other offices to Johnson and his
followers. The results of the county con-
ventions will be more clearly defined by to-
morrow night, by which time eleven coun-
ties will have selected their delegates to the
state democratic convention.
Mayor johnson returned last night from
a tour of Medina county. He made six
speeches during the day at various wayside
corners and opened the democratic cam
paign in Wadsworth last evening He df-
rected his fire against Burt Fischer. repub-
lican candidate for the legislature. who, he
said, was nominated by a convention op-
posed to equitable taxation of public serv-
ice corpora tons, 2-cent fare on railroads,
and for the reason that he favored the
granting of franchises in cities by the legis-
lature of the state.

them.

ed no improvement and Doherty had no
difficulty in bringing the match to a speedy

PENSIONS FOR EX.SLAyES.

Senator Hanna proposes that the
Government shall pension eX-slaves
who were freed 10y the proclamation of
President Lincoln. The bill provides
that persons over fifty years Of age and
less than sixty, whether male OF female,
receive a cash bounty Of 500 and
monthly pensions Of s. per month;
persons between sixty and seventy
years old bounty Of $500 and a pen
sion Of Sl2 per month; persons over
seventy years, bounty Of $500 and a
pension of SIS per month.
We can hardly think that the old
gentleman is in earnest, and it may be
but a political reply TO President
Roosevelt, who in order TO tickle the
negroes Of the South, is entertaining a
few Of them at the White House.
Both Of these WORTHLESS CO. will one
day wake to the fact that this is a white
mans government, and not that Of the
yellow man, the red man or the black
man.
The white people Of the South have
very great respect for the old negroes
Of the South and no good could come /
to them that they would not be glad of, /
but this government was not founded I
for the sole purpose Of engaging in the
pension business. That has already
been carried altogether too far No old
colOryd person Of the South will be al
lowed TO suffer for the ordinary com
forts Of life, and this not because Of the
political aspirants who may express a
sentimental interest in them, but be-
cause Of the white people by whom
they are surrounded.
