NATIVE LAND OWNERS
PLOT TO ASSASSlNATE.
Turks Think Investments Would he
Safe Under Foreigners.

Turks Think Investments WOuId he
Safe Under Foreigners.
Boston, Mass, Aug. 29.-Letters have
been received here from persons at
Monastir, European Turkey, indicating
that the attempt to assassinate the
American vice concul, VIM. C. Magels-
sen at Beirut on Sunday, Aug %, just
fifteen days after the assassina ton of
the Russian consul, NJ. Rostkovski, did
not surprise the English-speaking peo-
pie there, as it was considered a part
of a well laid plan of Turkish land
owners to bring about European oc-
cupation of Turkish territory.
For long time it has been under
stood that the native proprietors, feel
ing that their investments were in
secure under Turkish rule, have been
working TO secure foreign interven-
ton and of late rumors of a plot in
volving the assassination of consuls
have been frequently heard.
Investigation into the assassination
of M. Rostkovski at Monastir, Aug.
8, has shown that there is no reason
to believe that the Russian consul made
any use of cane or revolver on the
policeman as was asserted by the Turk
ish authorities.
The advices also state that M. Rost-
kovski. NJ. Kral, the Austrian consul,
and Mr.. McGregor. the British vice
consul, were looked upon with sus-
picion by the Turks because of the sup
posed sympathy with Bulgarians and
that recently an assassin was appoint
ed to kill the British officer as he was
taking his customary walk, but that
the plot failed because Mr. McGregor
on that day took an unusual route.

Felony Convicts Not wanted.

ty Commissioners to-day decided not
to apply for Muscogee's quota of fell

felony convict camp would cost 5000
the first year and over $4,000 each sue
ceeding year. In order to have such
e camp it would be necessary to raise
the county tax rate, and the commits
sioners were not willing to do this. The
tax rate was fixed at three mills on the

SHAW AND ROOSEVELT
DISCUSS CURRENCY.
To Perfect a Plan to Relieve Strin-
gency of Money.

Sency OF Money.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 2S.-Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw arrived
here tonight. The object of the sec
retary's visit to the President at this
time is two-fold: For some time he
has been collecting information from
various sources on the subject of cur
rency legislation, and this he desir-
ed to present to Mr.. Roosevelt.
He and the President will compare
notes with view of ascertaining
whether a basis of agreement in speci-
fic legislation is likely in the near flu
ture.
Secretary Shaw also desires to con-
suit the President regarding a plan to
relieve any temporary stringency in
the money market. 1t is known that
the Secretary has a plan in mind for
the depositing of certain moneys of the
government in national bank deposito-
ries. 1t is possible some conclusion may
be reached as to the putting of the
plan into operation before Secretary
Shaw returns to Washington.
No New Question Raised.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-The published
statement that Secretary Shaw had de-
cided that under existing laws he was
authorized to segregate government re-
ceipts from internal revenue sources
and deposit the same at his discre-
ton in national bank repositories, does
not raise new question, although such
deposits as have been made heretofore
had not been previously covered into
the treasury.
The Secretary, so far as can be learn
ed, has not determined on the deposit
of any further funds with national
banks, but after due elaboration, has
decided that it is well within his prov
ince to make such deposits, and with
a view to meeting any possible money
contingencies hereafter he has segre-
gated the internal revenue receipts
from other receipts, and has opened
a separate account in the treasury ledg-
ers, SO that in case of need he may
know just what amounts are available
for this purpose.

Some one'in Maine has dug up this
story of the Republican national con-
vention in 1884, when Blaine was NOM
mated: When the convention was in
full blast number of friends were
with Mr.. Blaine, helping to interpret
messages that came over the wire.
When news came of Theodore Roose-

fellow Roosevelt is a spoiled boy. He
is trying to make capital out of abus-
ing me, but he will not amount to any
thing. have watched public men all
