Andrew Carnegie Negotiating
Purchase of Battlefield of
Bannockburn, Scotland
WILL SAVE 1T FROM BUILDERS
carnesie's Purchase, If Made, Will Save
to the World Field Whereon En-
gland Met Perhaps the Most Isno-
minious and Awful Defeat in Her
tHistory-Account of the Battle.

London, Sept. Sit is reported that
the purchase of the famous battlefield
of Bannockburn near Stirling, Scot
land, in order to save it from falling
into the hands OF builders.
The village of Bannockburn is on
the Bannock river, an affluent of the
Forth, three miles south OF Stirling
and the battle which secured the in
dependence OF Scotland and established
Bruce an the throne, was fought on
June "A, 1914. On that date, the Scots,
under Bruce, with about 10000 men,
and the English under Edward II with
nearly 100000 men, met in fierce con-
test in which the English were route /
with a loss OF 10000 1t was a most
ignominous and awful defeat and his
tories tell us that thru all the history
OF her great wars England never suf-
fered humiliation deep enough to APP
proach even comparison with this. Be
sides the inferiority Of the victorious
army. BannoclSburn is exceptional
among battles by the utter helpless
ness of the defeated.
Stirling castle was delivered up in
terms of the stipulation. Among the
things which make the old battle
ground precious Is the Bore Stone
which Is still pointed out as the spot
on which Bruce fixed his standard on
the day of the battle.

Roosevelt Is watching developments Of

without serious apprehension. Reports
made by Minister Leishman, at Con-
stantinopie, are not disda!eting in tone.
On the contrary, the minister is in
ciined to take an optimistic view of the
situation, so far as, this country is con-
cerned. The anti-Christian outbreak
is serious. but is not regarded likely
that thru it the American interests and
Cotton at Beirut, in whom The admin
istration has great confidence. is
clothed with ample authority to afford
such protection of Americans and
American interests as he may deem
necessary. This fact, coupled with as
surancss of the porte that United
States property and people in Turkey
are quite safe, has tended to relieve
the minds of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay from apprehension of
serious consequences. The vigilance of
the United States authorities Will not
be relaxed however, and every pre-
caution will be taken to insure the
safety and protection of American In
terests.

Russia to Submit Program for Paei-
tying Macedonia.

London, Sept e-Onicial and press
reports from the near east today em-
phasiEe the seriousness Of the situation
there and confirm the belief OF the au-
thorities here that owing to the general
irritation thrucut European and Asiatic
Turkey toward Christians the result OF
the Macedonian revolt, the sultan may
be swept by the uncomfortable senti-
ments OF his Ottoman subjects into war
with Bulgaria, despite unwillingness Of
the porte to precipitate such conflict.
Turkish officials express qualification
at the Russian-Austrian proposal for
coercive diplomatic action on the part
OF the powers at Sofia. They are con-
ndent that 1t will be acceded to by
France, but whether It is adopted or
not. the sultan's hand Is already great
" strengthened, az he is in q better po-
eition to act than hitherto. There Is
no question In official circles here but
that the porte will take energetic
measures to suppress any trouble at
Beirut. Announcement is made OF the
arrival at Beirut OF Nazan Pasha, vail
Of Syria, who, It is expected by Turk
Ash officials, will promptly restore ord

Russia has not dispatched, at present,
at least, any vessels OF her Black Sea
feet to Turkish waters. He asserted,
however that when Russia submits 10
the porte her proposal for the pacifica-
tion OF Macedonia, she may dispatch
her Black Sea fleet to Turkish waters
and that 1t may make much longer
stay there than did the Russian squad
ron at Iniada bay. He added that
Turkey could not be expected TO in
augurate new reforms until order is
restored.
