DIVIDED ON MILLER
Some Washington Union Men
Side With the President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 21. -
The case of Assistant Foreman w, A.
Miller, Of the government printing Of
flee, who was reinstated in his posi-
ton by order of President Roosevelt
after he had been dismissed following
his expulsion from the local bookbind-
ers' union, came up for informal dis
cussion at the meeting today of the
executive council of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. No statement could
be obtained at the conclusion of the
days proceedings.
A new feature of the case appeared
when President Whitmore, of the
Stereotypers' union, employed at the
government printing office, petftioned
President Gompers in favor of Miller,
urging him not to give the support of
the federation to the petition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt asking for Miller's re-
moval, sent out as memorial from the
Central Labor union of this city, and
which, it is said, President Whitnore
characterized as a blunder.
President Whitmore Is a lifelong
Republican and one of the most promi-
nent union men of the city. 1t is said
tnat some other strong union men at
the government printing office will join
Mrs. Whitmore in his stand.
The Central Labor union tonight took
supplemental action in the case of Mil
Ter and adopted strong resolutions,
which were sent to President Roose-
velt, urging Miller's dismissal The
resolutions earnestly request the pres
1dent to modify his orders of last July
to Secretary Cortelyou, in which the
president says there must be no dis
elimination between union and nom
uion labor, and they further petition
that ''W. A. Miller, assistant foreman
in the bindery of the government print
ing office, be dismissed to promote the
efficiency of the service on charges
made by the Bookbinders' union, which
prove his unfitness for public serv-

and Bulgaria looking to a solution of
the Macedonian difficulty
The Dnevnik says Turkey has pre-
sented note to Bulgaria asking for
the latter's assistance in reaching a.
peaceable solution. Bulgaria replied
that Turkey must end the massacres.

tee peace and protection to the VII

amnesty to the political offenders and
introduce such governmental reforms
as will pacify Macedonia and Adriano-
pie.
The Bulgarian reply concluded: 'If
the present situation continues. the
Bulgarian government will be COM
PEELED to yield to public opinion and
send an army to the frontier.
1t appears doubtful that the govern
ment has sent such an answer, but the
statement published represents in some
degree the governments attitude.
PARIS, Sept. 21.-The Rappel, of this
city, today published a report, which is
not confirmed, that Boris Sarafoff, the
Macedonian leader, who has frequently
been reported killed or wounded. was
6eheaded recently near Monastir by
Turkish soldiers.

THE TURK
President Harper Sees Lots of
Good in the Sultan.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The "Unspeak-
able Turk has many good and praise
worthy qualities has received much
unjust abuse, ard is not such a bad
citizen of enlightened Europe after ALL
This is what President William r.
Harper, of the University of Chicago,
thinks. President Harper returned to
Chicago yesterday morning, after a
trip of two months in Europe. The
university president and Maj. Henry
A. Rust visited Constantinople for the
purpose of securing a firman giving
the university the right to conduct ex-
cavations in the ruins of ancient Baby
Ion.
"The Turk has received much un-
just abuse" said DR.. Harper yester-
day, in telling of his visit to the cap
ital of the Ottoman empire '"The Turk
does not deserve all the opprobrium
that has been heaped upon him. The
Turkish government is in what we call
a very hard position. There are a great
many things which must be taken into
consideration before we pass judgment
on the Turk as governing agent in
Europe.
1--WE are accustomed in this county
to think that Turkey has made no
progress, but if we compare the con-
ditions in Turkey twenty-nine years
ago, when Abdul Hamid came to the
throne, with the conditions today, we
will see that the progress is something
amazing. For instance, of all the edu-
cational buildings 1 saw in Europe, the
finest and most improved are those
which the sultan has had erected in
Scutari for medical college purposes
1--WE were in Constantinople at the
time of the celebration of the sultans
birthday. l have never before seen
such crowds on the streets of a city,
nor have I ever seen such brilliant IL
luminations as I saw there. With all
the crowds 1 saw no disorder and no
drunkenness. I did not see drunken
man during my stay in Turkey
All through Austria and some parts
of Germany we saw women working
in the fields, often helping the horses
or oxen draw the plowS. But in Turkey
we saw no women doing hard work
either in the shops or in the fields
Abdul Hamid is a remarkable man,
man of great ability. When we stop
to think that he has held that hardest
of all positions for twenty nine years
we get some idea of what his capabili-
ties must be. I cannot say that he is
popular with all his people. There
are two parties. The officials fear that
members of the younger or radical
party will assassinate the sultan. If
this happened no one would be safe in
turkey. A condition bordering on an
archy would prevail. Hence it is that
the sultan is always so closely guard
ed"
DO you think. DR.. Harper, that the
reported atrocities against the Chris
tians Justify the interference of Chris
tian nations in Turkish affairs?"
'That is a question which 1 cannot
now discuss. l will say, however, my
sympathies have undergone a great
change as result of my visit to Con-
6tantinople.''

KILLS A TARANTULA
insect Had Tenorlzed Family
for Six Months.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 21.-An
ugly. venomous tarantula from the
tropics was dispatched at the home Of
William link, in Gloucester City, this
morning, after it had terrorized the
family for six months. link was a
former fruit dealer, and one day half
a year ago, while he was handling a
bunch of bananas the huge spider
hoped out and stretched itself link
and members of his family searched
for the Insect for some time, without
avail. and then concluded that it had
escaped. Not long after, however, the
tarantula was discovered in the house,
and again chase was given it, but
once more it escaped by hiding.
At intervals ever since, the tarantula
had been seen at various places
through the dwelling, but in ever in
stance 1t managed to elude its pur-
suers. 1t soon got to be a reign of ter
ror in the house, and the inmates shiy-
cred at the slightest sound.
Just as he and. his wife were aris-
ing this morning, link once more
caught sight of the tarantula as 1t
clung to a picture frame In his bed
room.
Hal" cried link, I have you at
last" and he leaped wildly toward the
ceiling.
The huge insect lodged behind the
picture frame and mysteriously dis
appeared. Sure that he was on the
trail, link determined to rid the house
of the creature, and continued the
search. Finally, after two hours Of
unceasing scrutiny, he came upon the
tarantula crouched in a crevice in the
wall, where it may have hidden for
months. After a terrible battle link
killed it and proudly exhibits the hairy
body at his home. 1t measures over
five inches across its legs.

VALUABLE FRANCHISES
ARE OFFERED AT MANILA
American Capitalists Will Have a
Chance to Furnish Electric Power.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81. =
Gov. Taft has cabled the war depart
ment details of the franchise which Is
to be granted for furnishing power for
various enterprises in Manila and else
where. He says the commission has
surveyed the territory embracing Boto-
can Falls. at Mahihi, province of Mau-
ma, and Lamont and Caliraya rivers,
nearby, and that 1t has been discovered
that at least 10000 horse power may
be developed from these sources The
distance from Manila to the point In
question is fifty miles, and Gov. Taft
says few engineering difficulties viii be
encountered.
The local electrical lighting company
Of Manila, backed by strong capital,
desires to develop the power OF the
Angat river, in Bulucan, distance of
thirty-five miles. The Philippine gov
ernment, however, should 1t decide to
grant the franchise for furnishing pow
er from this point. viii give 1t to the
highest bidder.
The franchise will provide for the
sale of power to all alike on reasonable
terms fixed with reference to the cost
of the plant. An opportunity probably
will be given American Investors to bid
on the franchise. which Gov. Taft
states will be most valuable.
