Macsdonians are Desperate.

Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. 9.-The Mace
donian organizations are preparing a
memorandum to be presented to the
representatives of the Powers, in
which they will declare that the insur-
gents intend to resort to reprisals for
She Turkish atrocities. The memor-
andum gives detailed information of
villages destroyed and the massacre of
their inhabitants. It declares that
IS, coo men, women and children have
been slaughtered and 120 villages burn
ed. In the list of villages given only
two are in the vilayet of Adrianople.
The others are principally in the
Monastir vilayet.
The memorandum repeats the state
ments recently issued by the insurgent
general staff at Monastir, that the
Turks, instead of fighting the insur-
gents, have Instituted q general mas
sacre of the Christians. The oragniza-
tions declare they are issuing the pre-
sent memorandum because they are
no longer able to restrain the bands
from retaliation. and henceforward the
responsibility will rest with the great
Powers.

Admiral cotton's Beirut Report

Washington, D. c., Sept. 9.-The
navy department. has received cable
gram from Rear Admiral Cotton,
dated Beirut, yesterday, saying that
there were no serious disturbances in
Beirut on Monday night. The situa-
tion there is improving and public
feeling is growing quieter.
The State department today received
two cablegrams from Minister Leish-
man, at Constantinople. They were
sent in the course of consultation
with the department, and for that
reason were not made public. 1t was
stated at the department, however,
that Mr.. Leishman threw no new
light on the situation, either at Con-
stantinople or at Beirut. Some addi-
tional instructions were sent to Min
lister Leishman today, but these went
prior to the receipt of the cablegrams
from him.

Victims of Turkish Cruelty.

London, Sept. 1o.-The Monastir
correspondent of the Daily Mail sends
graphic account of the sickening
sights he witnessed in the hospitals
there. The victims of Turkish bru-
tality were mostly Greeks and Wal
lachians. Many women and children
had wounds from Mauser bullets,
proving that they had been inflicted
by regular troops, inasmuch as the
Bashi-Bazouks are armed with Mar
tinis. The stories told by the victims
tended to prove the worst accusations
against the Turkish troops of brutal
tiles and massacres.

CHRISTIANS BLOOD.
Mohannsdan Eanatisisn May Rush
Turkey Iato War.
The Russo-Austrian Proposal
That the Powers Use Coercive
Measures to Prevent Bulgaria
From Aiding the Macedonian Insurgents
Very Acceptable TO the Porte.

London, Sept. 9.-The official and
press reports from the near East today
emphasize the seriousness Of the situa-
tion there and. confirm the belief of
the authorities here that, owing to the
general irritation throughout Euro
pean and Asiatic Turkey toward the
Christians, as result of the Mace
donian revolt, the Sultan may be swept
by the uncomfortable sentiments OF
his Ottoman subjects into war with
Bulgaria, despite the unwillingness
of the Porte to precipitate such con-
hict. The Turkish officials express
qualification at the Russian-Austrian
proposal for coercive diplomatic action
on the part of the Powers at Sofia.
They are confident it will be acceeded
to by France but whether it is adopted
or not the Sultans' hand has already
been greatly strengthened, as be is in
a better position to act than hitherto.
There is no question in official cir
cles here that the Porte will take
energetic measures to suppress any
trouble at Beirut. The announcement
is made of the arrival at Beirut OF
Nazim Pasha, the vail Of Syria, who
is expected by the Turkish officials to
restore order promptly. That the task
is difficult is shown by the fact that
there have been further riots at Beirut.
France may order war ships to that
point to protect her interests, but
Germany has asserted that she will
not do so. Great Britain, whose
missionary interests in Syria are prac-
tically nil, has not as yet sent any
vessels to Beirut, relying upon the
American war ships to protect the
consulates.
The Turkish embassy issued another
statement today, declaring that the re-
ports of massacres emanate from the
Bulgarian side and are purposely ez-
aggerated in the hope of securing Euro
can intervention. It reiterates dis
belief in the seriousness of the Beirut
situation and adds: sThe Turkish
Government, therefore, hopes that the
American war ships will depart as
speedily as possible, as their presence
only tends to incite the people. From
Constantinople the embassy is inform
ed that there is no reason for the as
sembling of the American ships at
Beirut

Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. 1o.-The con-
tinuous reports Of wholesale massacres
of the Bulgarian population and the
destruction of Bulgarian village in
Macedonia are causing considerable
excitement here. Premier Petrof is
said to have informed the representa-
tives of the Powers in Sofa that
neither the Government nor the Bull
garian people can witness with in
difference the annlhilation of the Bull
garian element in Macedonia and the
devastation of the country, and unless
the Powers can find some means of
restraining Turkeys terrible repressive
measures Bulgaria will be forced to
depart from her present attitude Of
strict neutrality.

The new scientific discovery for diseases
of the throat and lungs, acts upon a new
principle differing greatly from the old

sons murdered in each case.
Official reports arriving here are sus-
piciously reticent, but no doubt exists
regarding the terrible barbarities
practiced by the Turkish regulars and
Bashi- -Bazouks on helpless women and
children in Macedonia. The Sofia Gov
ernment has hitherto withstood all
attempts on the part of the Macedonian
committee to draw Bulgaria into war
with Turkey, but the condition of
affairs is daily becoming more critical
and the position of the ministry more
difficult.
HORRORS IN MACEDONIA.
Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. 10.-A Euro
pean merchant, who left Monastir on
September s, has arrived at Sofa and
has given the Associated Press CORES
pondent on account of the terrible con-
ditions prevailing in the vilayet of
Monastir. He says Hilmi Pasha's ad-
ministration has greatly disappointed
the Christians. who expected that he
would make an improvement in the
situation. Hilmi Pasha, however, is
following the lines Of his predecessors,
and the greatest excesses that have
ever been committed have happened
since his arrival. Throughout the villa
vet of Monastir the Turkish soldiers
are daily perpetrating almost incon-
ceivable atrocities. They dishonor the
young girls in the presence of their
parents and pillage and murder every
where. Even funeral professions are
halted and the corpses stripped OF the
new clothes in which they are dressed,
according to the Macedonian burial
customs. The priests vestments are
seized, and the soldiers sell all their
plunder openly, the officers apparently
consenting. The informant of the
Associated Press says that the Chris
tian Inhabitants are terrorstricken,
hourly fearing a general massacre by
the Mussulmans, whose fanatlcaI
hatred of the Christians has reached
the highest point. The shops are closed
in Monastir, business is suspended and
the streets are deserted. Even the
consuls do not dare to venture outside
their homes.
The informant continues that it is
estimated that there are over 0,OOO
people in the fields without shelter
and starving. Hilmi Pasha has prom
ised the consuls that he will assist the
destitute people, but he has done
nothing, even refusing to allow them
to enter the town and beg for food.

On the financial issue, which, more
than anything else, led to Bryan's over
throw, the president stands with those
who opposed Bryan Statesman.
So, it is clear now that when the
president is in favor of "remedial"
financial legislation, he does not re-
fer to legislation that will remedy
the commercial needs of the country
and the world or that will remedy
the manner IN which bad financial
Legislation has placed the people

GOT OFF CHEAP.

1t was doubtless noticed in the
commissioners proceedings, published
IN the Signal recently, that the claim
of Tom Pence was allowed for 1852.
Pence did not get enough broken
arm and valuable horse killed are
worth more than that. Few knew
the significance of the item, but it is
the sequel to the accident that hap
pened to Tom Pence while hauling
wool down the Bear Greek grade
Although county road, the grade
was in bad state, and much wash
ed out. Toms load of wool went
over and down into the gulch, kill
ing one of Toms horses and breaking
Toms arm. The money was to pay
for the horse $500, and Toms doc
tor bill ($62.) 1t is understood that
George Nesbit told McCune before
the accident happened that $25
would repair the grade, and offered,
we are told, to do the repairing if the
county would reimburse him. But
if the county had expended S25 then,
1T would not have had the opportun-
ity to pay for Toms horse and settle
Toms doctor bill. The county is
lucky that Pence was willing to &C
cept so little. In fact the common
wealth got off so lightly that the
commissioners should have volun-
tarily paid Taylor Thompson for a
horse he had to kill because of a
leg broken in a bridge, aud have also
recompensed Alanson Gordon for the
nervous shock sustained by his wife
and the good horse ruined by falling
off bridge with no railing on it.
