Would Regret to Lose Pine Bluff.

Wouto regret TO Lose PIne Butt.
It is possible that Pine Bluff will
withdraw from the Cotton States
league and form new combination
composed of Arkansas and Texas
towns. During the past season all
of the clubs found the lcng jump to
Pine Bluff most expensive, and this
is the only reason why the Arkansans
are thinking of Withdrawing from
the Cotton States. The Pine Bluff
management lost money last season
and unless the big jump can be avoid
ed in some manner next season, they
stand to lose again in 1904. Pine Bluff
is good base ball city and the Vicks-
burg fans wcNld regret to see the Ar
kansans drop out Of the circuit. But
in the event they do Jackson would be
an excellent city to secure the fran
chise With Jackson in the league
and Pine Bluff out. the circuit would
be most compast. 1t is a tri1e early.

Fluff will quit the league, for

Risk War For $4o,Ooo,0 900.
The corspiratos and their agents
made frequent trips to Washington
during September and October. They
had the attentive ear of every gov
eminent Official with whom it was
nooessarv for them to communicate
AS DR.. Albert Shaw prophetically
wrote nearly three weeks before the
revolution began, the intelligent agent
of the Panama company in Washing
ton had kept in close and constant
touch with the sentiment on the 18TH
mus and he communicated his in
formation daily to the president and
his advisers. thus enabling them to
have the fleets of the Atlantic and
Pacific in such close proximity to
Colon and Panama as to assure eff
fective cooperation with the revolu-
tionists when the first gun was fired.
Forty million dollars was the prize
at stake.
Tidy sums like 0,000 900 are not
picked up every day. These same men
were obviously willing to provoke a
war to get the money. 1t was their
influence and their advice which re-
strained the president from exercising
the authority vested in him by the
snooner act to select the Nicaraguan
route. There was nothing in the Sc
lection Of that route for the ccnspnc
ators. therefore they projected the
Panama revolution.
Republicans Call 1t an Outrage.
These are some of the facts on
which the Democratic senators pro-
pose to base their opposition to the
forthcoming treaty. They have been
informed by the Republican leaders
who are immersed IN the deal that
the American public is cordially sup
porting the president, but they do not
believe it. They know that some OF
the ablest and most thoughtful Repub-
lican senators have grave uoubts abealt
the attitude Of the public. These Re.
publicans are secretly opposed to
the whole affair and secretly regard
it as an unfortunate outrage. but for
partisan and other reasons will sup
port the administration.
The Republicans who are assuming
that the American people like the ad-
ministration's course say that these
same people possess thirst for land
which finds a sort of qualification in
such episodes as the Panama incl
dent.

1t II supposed that the official Turk
ish report saying 200 soldiers out of
a garrison of 240 men were killed at
Neveska was due either to the unwlil.
ing1ess of the authorities to admit
that such large garrison was 80 easi.

Insurgents certainly would have bIlled
their prisoners.

Great Importance is attached to the

not yet secured the man who fired at
Vice Consul Magelssen, and adding
that the arrest among others, of a

they do not realize the gravity of the

Legations rave simply Been warned
To Look Out For Their Own Safety
Porte Disclaims Responsibility For
Any DisorderIy Act Occurring.
Berlin, Sept 5.-The Turkish gov
ernment, according to information re
ceived from the foreign office by the
Associated Press, has notified the pow.
ers that the porte cannot guarantee
the safety of the legations at Constan,
tinople
This extraordinary statement was
communicated without explanation or
qualifying details in response to an
inquiry as to whether German marines
were among those United States Leish-
man reported as being landed at Con
stantinople. 1t is inferred here, how
ever, that the conditions at the Turk
ish capital are not so bad as the sui
tan's notification would imply, but that
the legations have been warned to look
out for their own safety. The porte
disclaims in advance responsibility
for any disorderly act
The foreign officials added that the
German embassy at Constantinople had
not reported whether German marines
had been landed nor whether marines
of any other power had been landed.
Complete official reserve is main
tanned on these points.
The Associated Press cores pondent
learned from sources outside the for
eign office that the German govern
ment regards Turko-Balkan affairs as
having entered on an acute phase.
The porte's inability ito take ener-
getic hold of the Macedonian insurrec-
tion is the worst feature of the situa-
ton.
The apparent weakness of the Turk
ish government is due largely to it's
long Difference toward the powers and
to the division in the councils within
the palace, which is regarded here
as tustifying the vie wthat Turkey is
incapable of preserving order in her
own provinces unless she is allowed an
absolutely free hand to deal with the
insurgents as she pleases. Pressure
is being brought to bear in Russia and
Austria on this point and continuance
of the crisis, it is asserted, can only
result in the drifting of the powers
and porte alike toward fresh dangers

New York, Sept 5-M BeuQue, 46
years old, photographer, was comit
ted to Bellevue hospital today to be
examined as to his sanity. Beuuue
had been arrested for writing a letter
to Secretary of State John Hay In
which he threatened the secretary II
claim Of $4,000 was not paid De
tective Muller, of the Washington po
lice force, who made the arrest, ex'
planned that Beuque had been in the
Photographic business in Hamburg
but was compelled to leave the coun'
try, selling out his business, Beuque
claimed, at a great sacrifice. This
was the origin of his grievance and
his demand was that Secretary Hay
demand reimbursement form the Ger
man government Muller said Beuque
had written letters to various persons
and the secretaries of state since the
administration of President Harrison,
none, however, being SO belligerent
in tone as tho last on eto Secretary
Hay.
BeuQue, who is respectable in dress
and manner, expressed satisfaction
when arrested, declaring that publici
ty would aid him in getting the money
asked why he wrote the letter, Beuque
replied:
l want my money. 1t is what the
German government owes me-"
Magistrate Cornell declared that he
did not believe the man was in his
right mind and committed him to
Bellevue for examination.

the amount demanded by Beuque from
the authorities of Hamburg was 10

On the ground that he was an Ameri.
can. He was given three days to
leave Germany, but through Secretary
of State Blaine had the time extended
to three months.
The alleged threat in his recent let.
ter to Secretary Hay was in the state
ment that he had written eight letters
to the government and the present one
would be the last. He said he would
take up the matter then himself and
whatever he did would be in self-de.
