EVENTS, nSdCUSo 0SuubS seSuUss
London, Sept. 1.-THE temper OF
the Bulgarian people and government,
according to kilograms from Sofia, is
rising to danger point All indica-
lions tend to show that however 10y
ally the government desires to observe
a neutral attitude it will be forced ere
long by pressure from the people into
a formal declaration Of sympathy with
the Macedonian Christians. Premier
Petroff's informal intimation to the
diplomats in Sofia that unless some
means of restraining Turkeys terrible
measures to suppress the uprising in
Macedonia is taken by the powers
Bulgaria will be forced to depart from
strict neutrality, is regarded as q
warning in this sense to the powers.
A committee representing all classes
has been organized by the professors
of the Sofia university and is sitting
daily to discuss the situation. Bitter
attacks on Prince Ferdinand are IN
dulged in for his action in dissolyins
the sobranje at such q critical mo-
ment, which is characterized as trea'
son against the people. Resolutions
will be submitted to this committee
today urging the immediate moblllza''

the recall of the incompetent vail OF
Beirut and requesting that warships

Europeans.
Nazim Pasha, vail of Syria, was or
dered from Damascus to Beirut, where
he arrived yesterday. The porte an.
nounces that Nazim Pasha was sent
to Beirut with two battalions OF troops
to take temporary charge OF af1airs
there. The vail Of Beirut, it is also
announced, has not been deprived OF
his authority, but he will probably
remain inactive at his post during the
stay Of Nazim Pasha at Beirut.
While the rioting was In progress

appeal was made to Rear Admiral COT.

that he could not intervene in quar-

pitai Scenes at That Place.
London, Sept. 1O.-The Monastir
correspondent Of the Daily Mail sends
a graphic account Of the sickening
sights he witnessed in the hospitals
there. The victims Of Turkish brutal.
ity were mostly Greeks and Walla.
chians. Many women and children
had wounds from Mauser bullets, prov
ing that they had been inflicted by
regular troops, inasmuch as the Ba-
shi-Bazouks are armed with Martins.
The stories told by the victims
tended to prove the worst accusations
against the Turkish troops Of brutal
tiles and massacres.
The officials and press reports from
the far east today emphasize the seri-
BUSINESS Of the situation there and
confirm the belief that the sultan may
be swept by the uncomfortable senti-
ment of his subjects into war with
Bulgaria, despite the unwillingness OF
the porte to precipitate such q con-
fiict. There is no question in official
circles here that the porte will take
energetic measures to suppress any
trouble at Beirut. France may order
warships to that point to protect her
interests, but Germany has asserted
that she will not do SO. A high diplo-
matte authority asserts today that
when Russia submits to the porte her
proposals for the pacification OF Mace
donia, she may dispatch her Black
sea fleet to Turkish waters, and it
may take much longer stay there
than did the Russian squadron at
Iniada bay.

rangement has been arrived at be-
tween Great Britain and Austria which
will come into operation under certain

Des Moines, Sept 9.-The first ap-

York, and he ordered that she be sent
back to Europe, as under new law
the transportation companies are
bound to return the immigrants II they
become public charges in q year. She
will, therefore, be sent to Chicago at
the expense Of the state, and from
there will 60 to New York. and the

MussULMANs ATTACKED FIRST.
Story Of the Beirut Riots as Told by

Constantinople, Sept. 1O.-Consular
accounts received here from Beirut
totally differ from the Turkish version
of the break there. The vail of Beirut
was not on board Of the United States
flagship Brooklyn when, the first brawl
occurred, but was in the country.
Contrary to the official version, the
consul dispatches say the Mussulmans
first attacked the Christians, and the
troops which interviewed sided with
the Mussulmans. One Of the pillaged
houses belonged to a French citizen.
Though there has been no further dis.
turbance at Beirut since Monday.
great uneasiness, amounting almost
to panic, prevails among the Chris.
tians, many Of whom have left Beirut
and sought refuge in Lebanon, The

Mrs. Susan Virden Of Des Moines
swoons as Son u Held TO Grand

Des Moines, Sept. 10.-As Ffed Viz
den was bound over to the grand jury
on the charge Of larceny by Justice
Duncan, his aged mother, Mrs. Susan
virden, fell to the floor In q faint,
which ended with death late yester-
day afternoon.
The boy was accused Of stealing .
harness from 1921 West Locust street,
by,v. d. Adair, and was taken before
the court for hearing. Despite the
fact she was q years old and feeble,
Mrs. yirden insisted on going to the
court room. When she entered she
was almost exhausted. and friends
bathed her head with cold water. She
had swooned in court before, and
some Of the bystanders said 1t wAs 2
ruse to arouse sympathy for her son.
Accordingly the mother was given
few charitable thoughts.
Az the justice began to render his
decision she bent forward and listened
intently, her head bowed to catch the
fatal words, and then she fell upon the
door In heap. She was picked up by
friends and carried to her home,
while her son was taken to the
county Jail. !.
Mrs. Virden never again opened
her eyes to recognize anyone. Size
heard the order to take her son back
to jail to await further Investigation,
and with this last sad thought, LOST

to the bedside of his dead mother. He

Prospectors Discover Some Valuable

Waukon, Sept. 8.-The prospecting
at the mines which has been In prog.
ress for the past few months has been
discontinued and the machinery re-
turned to Duluth. Captain Simon and
corps of assistants are still here await
ing orders. +
The work has been thorough and no
one here knows just what the result
Of the investigation is, although every
thing seems to indicate that satisfac-
tory results were obtained. Eleven
shafts have been sunk, the deepest
being fifty.three feet. From each one
sample Of ore was taken at every
five feet and forwarded to headquar.
tiers for analysis. In number Of pits
they are down to limestone and
whether or not there is ore below ia
not known for sure, although parties
who have drilled in that locality report
in the affirmative. The amount of ore
already In sight would be Of suffi.
cient quantity in case the quality is OF
nature that would make it desirable.
and as this has been assayed at yari.
GUS times and found satisfactory II
seems that there was q good show oil

case the mines would be worked in
the near future it would mean much
to Waukon as q large force would be
put on and operations pushed on a

ton would not worry them as they
would construct what road was re-
