aid says: A twentieth century crusade
against their ancient enemy, the Turk,
is being planned by Knights Templars,
with the Balkans in place of Palestine as
the field in which they shall protect
Christians against the oppression of the
1nhdels. Prominent members of the
order are agitating the forming Of
league to send regiments of well-drilled
lighters to the aid of Bulgaria, and the
crusades of old may have their modern
prototype in movement Of the Tenn
plars against the troops of the sublime
porte.
The plan has received consideration
from Chicago members of the masonic
organization for some time, and to-
night it is expected to be formally an
nounced at the meeting of St. Bernard
commandery. With 100000 members
under oath to "be ready to go to fight
the enemies of Christ, even to the
DEATH" it is expected that an interna-
t1onal interest will be stirred in the
movement, and an array of knights
from the United States and Europe may
be massed in Macedonia to fight the SOL
diery of the Padishah.
AS soon as the spirit of the crusade
takes hold in Chicago it rs proposed to
extend the movement through the state,

STATISTICS ARE GIVEN OUT
Figures Dealing with British Fiscal
Problem Made Public.
Cabinet Meetings Over for Present.
Statements Of Pail Mall
Gazette.

London, Sept. lion the heels of
Premier Balfour's academic exposition
of his personal views of the fiscal prob
lem contained in the pamphlet on en-
sular Free Trade" came the long-prom-
Used and much-demanded government
statistics dealing with that subject.
They were issued Wednesday by the
board Of trade, in the shape Of blue
book of nearly 500 pages OF bewildering
tables of figures showing the various
aspects of British and foreign trade and
the industrial conditions. No deduc-
tons were drawn, though the publica-
ton teens with interesting notes upon
what are regarded as points of fact.
The references to foreign trade were
chiefly confined to France, Germany and
the United States.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it UNDER
stands the cabinet has concluded the
consideration of its fiscal position and
its policy in regard thereto; that no
further cabinet meetings will be held
for the present, probably not until late
in the autumn. and that in the mean
while Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
will proceed with his expository pro-
gramme. The paper adds:
1T will probably be found that he
has modified his proposals so as to
bring them In harmony with Mr.. Bal
four's views as SGT forth in the PAM
phlet. The main feature of Mr.. Cham
berlain's notifications will be the dis
appearance of all suggestions in the d.
rection of the further taxation of food
stuffs and raw materials.

The Pail Mall Gazette believes it is
still possible that there will be more
than one resignation from the cabinet.

the state at three o'clock Wednesday
morning, and the first frost followed.
The weather bureau is Of the opinion
that the clearing will spread over the
state and the frost which is following
will fall like mantle over the corn crop.
If it is of freezing nature the crop
will suffer an inestimable damage. The
temperature at Sioux City was "a above,
at Omaha it was 90, and at Des Moines
40 Wednesday morning. Grain reports
declare that strip of country from
Fonda to Rockwell City, in the north
west, suffered from frost Tuesday night,
but that the damage was not as serious
as might be imagined.
'All Iowa is threatened with frost"

weather and crop service. 'Fully two
weeks of warm weather are needed to
ripen the corn crop. With such a condi-
ton staring us in the face the situation

cOunsel OF WISDOM and or moderation
the Bulgarian government will be
obliged to take the necessary steps to be
ready for every ecentuality and not be
taken by surprise"
Premier Petron Explains.
Premier Petroff was interviewed Tues
day by correspondent of the press here
on the reasons which induced the Bull
garian government to issue Mondays
note to the powers. He said:
1T has been from the first plainly evil
dent that the policy of Turkey was to
hinder the development of the Bulgarian
race in Macedonia, which was the strong
est national element there.
with this end in view the Turks pro-
ceeded to devastate the country and kill
the Bulgarian Christians, driving the
survivors into the mountains and for
ests, where they would either perish of
hunger or else cross the Bulgarian from
tier and become a burden to the Bull
garian nation. In the meanwhile the
powers paid not the slightest attention
to the Bulgarian note Of June 20, but
rather encouraged the Turks, who adopt
ed the most severe measures to suppress
the outbreak. The Bulgarian govern
ment is now compelled to protect not
only Bulgaria itself, but also the Bull
garian element in Macedonia. It is fur
Their evident that Turkey has directly
encouraged the revolution, as, with ten
times as many guards on the frontier
as Bulgaria employed, the Turks never
stopped single revolutionary band nor
an individual crossing the frontier The
porte was only too anxious to have a
|pretext for continuing the massacres
and the determination of the Bulgarian
people. Turkey has now concentrated
100000 troops in Macedonia, only about
25,000 of whom are engaged in the sup
preston of the revolt. There is no at
tempt to fight the insurgents, but the
troops attack innocent women and chill
dren. The Bulgarian government is
forced to perceive in this excessive mob
1lization clear sign of Turkeys desire.
after she has succeeded in suppressing
the outbreak in Macedonia, to attack
Bulgaria and exterminate the Bulgarian
race. All our latest information from
Macedonia and Constantinople confirms
this view. Hilmi Pasha, the vail of Sa-
lonica, has openly declared that war
with Bulgaria is the only way of settling
the Macedonian question. The Con-
stantinople press, which is under tho
most severe censorship, was recently
allowed to publish the most sensational
reports, with the object Of increasing the
Mussulmans' fanatic hatred of the Bull
garian Christians. :....
"Confronted by such conditions Bull
garia is forced to the conviction that
Turkey intends to attack her. and the
Sofia government has taken this las,
step Of asking the powers to intervene
Otherwise Bulgaria must take measures
for her own protection" ~"

In Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 17.-Frost came
to nearly every part of Nebraska Tues
day night and in the north and western
portions of the state the damage is con-
siderable. In these sections it was sufi-
GENTLY heavy to kill, while In the east
ern and southern portions Of the state
the frost was light enough to help the de-
velopment of the corn, but not heavy
enough to damage it. The results, there
fore, are about equalized.
Garden vegetables were damaged in
all parts of the state. Grains were not
seriously hurt in any portion of the state.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 17.-Frost was gen.
eral Tuesday night over Nebraska and
western Iowa. Two-thirds of the coun-
ties of this state report frosts, but in a
very large portion Of them it was light,
owing to cloudy skies. The effect of the
severe weather on corn is uncertain, but
in most localities the crop is believed
to be beyond severe injury.
Reports from so of the 70 counties in
the corn belt of Nebraska, received by
the World-Herald, indicate that frost
was general in the state Tuesday night.
In many localities it was killing, in 9TH
ers light. Crop bureau estimates place

North Platte, Neb., and Bismarck, N D.
A special to the Dispatch from Beres-
ford, S. D., which is the center of the

ing frost came Tuesday night and that
all corn suffered badly. 1t is estimated
that two-thirds of the crop is safe.
Specials to the Dispatch from Vermil-

frost touched in these sections of the
state and that corn suffered greatly, al
though the crop was too well matured
to kill it entirely.

Note to Powers.
Following are some of the points in
the note which Bulgaria has just pre-
scented to the powers:
what the Bulgarian government
had foreseen. as expressed In it's note Of
June 20, of the development of affairs in
Turkey has become amply verified. Tho
Turkish government is Systematically
annihilating the Bulgarian people.
''The mobilization and concentration
of such great forces in European Tur-
key, under the pretext Of suppressing
the revolution, gives Bulgaria reason to
suppose that at an opportune moment
she will be attacked by Turkey.
1.-THE Bulgarian government can no
longer remain Indifferent to the pres
ence of such situation, which is of q
nature calculated to bring about hos
tile collision between Turkey and Bull
garia.
IF the great powers do not take
measures to give the sublime porte
counsel Of wisdom and of moderation
the Bulgarian government will be
obliged to take the necessary steps to be
ready for every ecentuality and not be
taken by SURPRISE"

to talk business to McGraw for Joe.

Ned Haflion has not let down the bars
for Corbett without knowing into what
pasture he is to jump. Nor is it at all
likely that Hanlon would put such a
strong baseball weapon In the hands of
New York as Corbett. 1t would not be
business.
Pittsburg wants Joe Corbett and has
wanted him for some time. II Ccrbett
