TO PREVENT THE SALE.
Consolidated Lake Superior Cos. Men
FIocking to New York.

New York, Sept 25.-Francis H. Clergue,
one of the chief promoters of the Sll7,O00.-
600 Consolidated Lake Superior Co, has
arrived here from Toronto, accompanied
by Cornelius Shields, president of the
company and A. r. Harvey of Liverpool,
one of the largest stockholders.
The three went quietly to an uptown
hotel and Immediately began a series of
conferences with bankers and others
which lasted many hours, in the hope of
securing aid to avert the impending sale
of the property by Speyer s. Co.
At the close of these conferences. Mr..
Harvey declared that prospects are bright
for saving the great corporation to the
stockholders under the present manage
ment
"Mr. Clergue is working about 20 hours
a day to save this company" he said,
land 1 believe he will do it, He is not to
blame for the fact that affairs are in
their present state. He had assurance
last April, which he received in my pres
ence that the loans would be met, but
YOU know what has happened since then.
The vast shrinkage in the values of secu-
rites has made it impossible for men to
carry out promises which were made in
good faith at that time

help the company with the exception of
certain interests which. as / take il.

small fraction of its value English mon

Attend to Much Business-The Can
ri tons Leave for Home.

Baltimore, Sept. 25.-At the session
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows, today, the report of the finance
committee on the proposed million dol
lar memorial building of Washington
Lodge of this city was adopted. The
lodge was given power to solicit con-
tributions from lodges and members
of the order in jurisdictions outside of
Maryland, providing the grand masters
of the Jurisdictions do not object. 1t
was decided, however, that the name
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge is in no
way to be connected with the project.
Nearly all the Patriarchs Militant
who have been here during the sessions
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, about
1000 in number. left for Washington,
today where they will be entertained
by local lodges.
A proposition to admit to membership
persons of mixed blood, to Join the or
der, was defeated by the Sovereign
Grand Lodge. as was also reso-
luton to grant to the Patriarchs Milli-
tant direct representation in the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge.
After q spirited debate the resolution
to permit liquor dealers to join the or
der was defeated.

which was reported from Sofia Ihursday'

according to English correspondents, war
never seemed more inevitable
Anxiety has also been renewed at Soma.
it cannot be said that the situation APP
pears to be definitely altered.
The Turkish military commission holds
sessions daily. and preparations fof war
with Bulgaria seem to be going on ac-
lively all the time.
Thirty-two battalions of Turkish troops
have been moved from Monastlr to the
vilayet of Adrianople, apparently as a
strategic reinforcement against an expect
ed attack.
The negotiations between Turkey and
Bulgaria, it is now declared. are not like

promises.
A dispatch from Dubnitza to the Daily

Viously rumored.
According to the same correspondent
the fighting near Melnik resulted in the

ENcLAND's POSITION
Seems to Be to Wait and See What the
Other Fellow Does.

London. Sept 25.-Premier Balfourj
in n lengthy letter to the archbishop of
Canterbury Dr. Davidson, discussed
the Macedonian situation. The letter
is a reply to the archbishop's action in
drawing attention to the growing I'M
aasiness among churchmen at the ap-
narent apathy of the powers, while
unspeakable atrocities are perpetrated
in Macedonia"
Mr. Balfour says he is in entire SYM
pathy with the feelings of horror and
indignation and fully understands the
desire to give expression in public
meetings to the sentiment of reproba-
ton which recent events have justified
Mr.. Balfour then proceeds to analyze
the situation, and says:
"The instrument whereby the situa-
ton may be dealt with is the concert of
Europe. But this, even We're they all
in harmony, is necessarily slow and
may easily be ineffective if the problem
is complex. The revolutionists have
deliberately done their best to drive
the Turk to excuses and furnish him
with an excuse for deferring the exc
cution of reforms, meeting horrors with
horrors, and brutality with brutality,
for the deliberate purpose of driving
the Turk to crimes against the inno-
cent and thus play upon the sympathy
of the world
such methods as these are no more
morally tolerable than the misgovern-
nent which is their excuse"
Coming to the question of the atti-
tude of Great Britain, Mr.. Balfour
points out that Russia, Austria and
Turkey cannot be Indifferent to a ter
ritorial redistribution in the peninsula,
while Greece, Bulgaria, Servia and
Roumania are all interested in the fate
of the province whose Christian popu-
lation is made up from all nationalities.
These external complications are
doubled by internal ones. because of
religious differences, the Mohammedan
fearing Christian rule, while the ex-
| archists and Christians prosecute the
patriarchists.
1T is with a problem such as this
| that one has to deal" says Mr.. Bal
four, 'and l cannot but believe that the
best hope of dealing with it lies in the
continued cooperation of Russia and
Austria, strengthened with the support
and aided by the advice of the other
| siSnatories of the treaty of Berlin

promise to the strikers to seek arbitra-

AT BATES COLLEGE
The Football Squad Gives Promise of
Good Showing.

Lewiston Nc. Sept. 25.-(SpeciaD, IT,
Great interest is being shown, at the
present time, at Bates College in both the
football squad and the fall track prac-
tice.
men have been put through hard practice
tackling the dummy. breaking through
the line, punting, and line plungng have
been in order. There have been no serious
injuries, this fall and the large number
of candidates three elevens have not
fallen off since the first practice.
Redden was out, yesterday, after brief
rest and showed excellent form at Maho-
ney's running mate behind the line.
Rounds. quarterback on the Varsity. is
to score a hit. this season, with his end
runs and superb lodging. He passes ac-
curately and has been catching punts in
perfect form. Briggs. who made his
faster this year, and both hurdles and
plunges stronger He has no dangerous
competitor for fullback. Mahoney com
pletes the four men behind the line He is
quick and steady and although he lacks
experience he will probably make half
back instead of Corneilson, who is fast
but rather light.
Gluten, the veteran center. weighs more,
this fall. than last, and is expected to be
a bulwark of strength on the line. john
son will make left guard, and PettenSlil
and Turner have split about even for right
guard. Each will probably play one half
of the Hebron game. Saturday. Captain
Reed and Conner will undoubtedly play
the tackles, and Libby. Cole and Har-
rington are making good on the ends.
The second team is heavier than the
Varsity. Dodge. the center, jackson at
guard. Wight at quarter, and Mcintyre
the halfhack. are playing fine football and
will probably line up against the other
colleges in some of the games on the var
sity.
10th coach and captain are exerting
every effort to turn out champion team,
and barring serious accidents the score,
next Saturday, against Hebron should be
large.
