Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 30.-A teie-
gram received here from the camp OF
Gen. Xontcheif, the commander-in-
chief of the Macedonian insurgents,
at Razlog, (55 miles from Sotia) an
nounccs that Il general rising was
proclaimed September 27 in the dis
tricts of Razlog, Nevrokop, Demir-
hissar, Melnih and Sercs and that all
the insurgent bands in eastern Mace
donia had received direct orders to
begin operations.
The chief hope of the revolutionary
organization now centers in the out
break i'm eastern Macedonia, which is
expected to assume considerable pro-
portions. as the leaders there are all
officers of the Bulgarian reserve.
This, the sympathizers with the
Macedonian cause hope, will arouse
war feeling in the Bulgarian army
and force the government to espouse
the Macedonian cause.
Dispatches received here from vari-
Gus sources say Gen. Zontchem has
been greeted everywhere with the
greatest enthusiasm and that all the
peasants are hocling to his banner.

MINERS TROUBLES.

WiIkesbarre. Pa, Sept. 3O.-The
board of conciliation, appointed to
settle disputes between operators
and their employees in the anthracite
region resumed its session in this
city Tuesday. All the members of
the board were present
Some time was taken up with tes-
timony of fan engineers of the Bliss
mine, who charge that they were dis
criminated against and not taken
back after the strike. \ pump run
ner at the colliery of the Riverside
Coal Co. at Archibald charged discrim-
ination. The engineers of the WentZ
Coal Co. at Hazleton, charged that
they were not given the increase de-
creed by the commission. The ac-
countant of the company gave testi-
mony in rebuttal.
The employees of the Van Wickle
Co., of the lIazleton region, COM
planned of the hours of work and pay.
They charged that they had been
working a nine-hour day at the col
liery for years and that when the
commission decreed shorter work
ing day, they were obliged to work
the same time as formerly without
increased pay. The answer is that
the coal commission had decreed IA
general nine-hour work day and the
company was not living up to the
decree.
The two most important questions
before the board remain unsettled
those of short Saturday work day
in the Schuylllill region and the pay
ment of the advance percentage on
the gross or net earnings. One of the
concliators said they had not agreed
on either of the questions and that
both might be referred to the um
pire.

Although the report of the jury has
not been filed, this information was
volunteered by Prosecutor Lee
Stroup. Seventy witnesses were eN-
amined. Whether this ends the in

the authorities seem to be as much
mystifed as ever, and Prosecutor
Stroup declines to discuss the matter,

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
New England states Freed from Epi-

snmha OF Animnls SInmghtered.


Washington, Sept. 3O.-Secretary
Wilson said yesterday that the re-
ceipt through the state department
of am official notice that Great Britain
had removed its embargo on cattle
and sheep from New England ports
was the conclusion of the great work
in which the department had been en-
gagged since December for the eradi-
cation of foot and mouth disease
from the New England states and the
restoration of the traffic to the condi-
tion it was in before this outbreak
occurred. The secretary regards this
as one of the most important and
valuable pieces of work the depart
ment has done for American agricul-
ture.
NO country" he said, before has
succeeded in stamping out such an
extensive outbreak of this disease.
The work was accomplished under
great difficulties. The weather in
New England last December was very
inclement, and the inspectors and
their assistants were obliged to work
in the open country with the ther-
mometer far below zero.
ut is difficult even at this time to
understand how the pits were dug III
the frozen ground for burning the
carcasses, and how the disinfectants
were applied when everything of n
liquid nature became frozen in Il
short time after it was exposed to
the atmosphere. But the work was
so thorough that in not Il single case
where the disinfection was conducted
by the departments representatives
did the disease re-occur when fresh
cattle were introduced.
During this work 5000 cattle and
$50 hogs and sheep were slaughtered
and paid for, and over 200 premises
were disinfcctad. The total cost OF
/ the work was less than 100000. Since

tied much wealth, and has added to it
by judicious investments and lucrative
law practice. The extent of his wealth
is not known except by himself and few
intimate friends. His income from his
law practice is probably not far from
$50. 900 annually, but he is large owner
of real estate in and around Baltimore
and one of the heaviest taxpayers.
Dating back to the last century, the
Bonaparte family forms portion of the
real aristocracy of Baltimore group
of families who descended from English
and French nobility One of his an
eestors was the beautiful Miss Patter-
son. who married Prince Jerome Bona

nations, AS already stated, the present
Bonaparte bears a strong resemblance
to Napoleon III in his features. AT his
city home he has a collection of memen-
tos OF his ancestry in what is called
the Napoleon room. He lives in Baiti-

fond of country life.

thought, far enough away to be free from
the rattle of the wheels and the clang
OF the gong, but the track layers fol-
lowed him and the surveyors laid their
lines directly in front of his residence.
The story goes that he offered the
street car company a small fortune to
go in another direction, but the offer
was refused. He accordingly sold the
house. upon which he had made a num-
Der of improvements, for about half of
what il cost him. and bought high hill
nearly twenty miles from the city. on
which he has erected one or the finest
residences in Maryland. II is nearly a
mile from the nearest road and fully
ten miles from any railway. Here Mr..
Bonaparte spends much of his leisure

time they entered public life.
There is probably no man living who

how well minor things are retained in

CLEARING SHIPS OF RATS.

WHEN the transport Sherman arriv-
w ed at Manila recently, says the
Manila American" she was, as is the
case with most other ships that arrive
from or touch at Hongkong on the way
TO Manila, detained for inspection TO
see If she had any rats on board. When
the big transport dropped anchor in Ma
Mia Bay, therefore, the official rat IN
spector went on board to see what was
doing in the way of rodents. In less than
fifteen minutes he hurriedly left -he
ship. and, going ashore. reported that
there was on board the Sherman. ac-
cording to the patent rat enumerator
in use at Manila, no fewer than $50. 900
rats.
The Sherman was Immediately ordered
TO the quarantine station at Martveles,
as no ship on which the disease carrying
rodents are found is allowed to dock at
Manila until they are exterminated. Ac-
cordingly the Sherman steamed back to
Mariveles. When she arrived there her
matches had been opened up and enough
sulphur carried below TO kill millions of
rats AS soon as the anchor was drop
ped the sulphur fires were started in
the hold. and in few minutes the work
of the fumes became apparent.
Out of the matches there poured such
a stream of rats as was never before
seen in the Orient. First by the hundreds
and then by the thousands, they appear
ed at the matches, and then leaped into
the water. Every one tried TO swim
ashore, but the distance was far too
great for any rat to swim, and soon the
great black line of padding rodents be-
gan to thin out. Some OF them reached
point about 300 yards of the ship, but
none got any farther. After the fumes
had been working for about an hour the
rats stopped appearing. An inspection CT
the ship was made and not rat was dis
covered. The Sherman then re-entered
Manila and discharged her cargo.
