RUSSIA GIVES WARNING.
Turkey and Bulgaria Must Repress
Disturbances.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-The Rus

note reiterating that the attitude of
the powers in regard to the Austro-
Russian reform scheme for Macedonia
is unchanged and that. consequently,
neither Turkey mol Bulgaria can ex-
pect support from ally quarter IN the
event of open Or secret resistance to
that scheme.
The government, after pointing out
that the suggested reforms at the out
set were attended with good results.
declares that the present situation is
due to the activity of the Macedonian
committees. who are opposed to the
projected reforms, and continues:
"In view of the thickening compli-
cations the Russian and Austrian gov
ernments have reiterated their views
in regard to the suppression of the

ton of Austria and Russia, ali the
governments of the powers which
signed the treaty of Berlin have in
structed their representatives to Tur
key and Bulgaria to emphasize their
full unanimity of the Austro-Russian
work of pacifying the Balkans so as
to remove all misconceptions of possi-
BILE assistance in the event of danger
GUS enterprises. These representa-
tives have been instructed to make a
declaration to the governments Of Tur-
key and Bulgaria as follows:
"The present state of affairs in the
Turkish vilayets, which is due to the
criminal intentions of committees and
revolutionary bands. does not alter the
attitude of the powers in regard to the
programme of action advanced early
in the year by the two powers most
interested. Consequently neither Tur-
key nor Bulgaria can rely on the sup
port of any power in the event of open
or secret opposition to the realization
of this scheme.
"The imperial government hopes
this new warning will convince Turkey
as we'll as Bulgaria of the futility OF
any attempt to avoid the fulfillment
of the demands made upon them and
cause them to take all the measures
in their power for the repression OF
the disturbances in the Balkan PENN
sula, which can only have the most
serious consequences for both the OF

Editor Wood of the Steele Ozone re-
Gently visited the old freight ware
house at the river landing, and the
visit awakened a train Of historical
"reminiscences, as follows:
Lately there was some freight that
must have brought to the minds of
those about the place memories of the
sos, when government business was
the chief object of the traffic. This
was the shipment from Fort Yates of
various articles pertaining to the sol
diers and the fort. Fort Yates has
always been a maritime point, so to
speak, one of the few in the interior
of the nation-depending chiefly on
the river for freight delivery in the
summer. So when the post was abapd
oned Uncle Sam used the river to
move on and the old wharf boat at
Bismarck was the point at which the
freight was loaded on the cars for
transport to various points.
when the three companies re-
turned from Manila the arms and other
freight were handled at the warehouse
for Fort Yates So it happened that
the old landing at Bismarck, where
was once the frontier, and only twenty
years ago at that was way station
for Uncle Sam from the Oriental pos
sessions among one kind OF Indians,
to the decaying outpost OF former
war field. Only score of years or so
after the Custer tragedy, when the old
landing was the scene of the activity
incident to that period, until troops
were coming back from the Philip
pines, and their effects were sent by
river from the very place whence Gus
ter had often shipped military stores
and war material. How little anybody
thought of this in 1876? And in 1928
what will be the story?
The old landing has seen history
and there are men in many parts OF
the world who would be able to tell
you many interesting and some start
ling stories, no doubt, about the early
days.
1.-TWO years ago some one who must
have been familiar with the pre-rail
road times published in a Chicago pa
per continued story dealing with the
Bismarck landing and the steamboa
business. 1t was a wild yarn, full o
action and family disguised swea
words, and related among other thing.

their action. Re it further

the bill being an alleged Offset to GER
