KILLED IF FOUL TIT.
Prominent Denfist of PawtusIxet Re.
 ceives Fatal hi ary Tt Hat.

Pawtucket, R. |, Aug. 21.-Dr. Ulan Monroe Newman. End, a prominent dentist of Providence and formerly a we'll known amateur baseball player, died at the hospital tonight as a result of being struck by foul tip during a baseball game here this afternoon Dr. Newman had been engaged to play with Pawtucket to-day against a team representing Providence. While at bat in the first inning he reached for a straight ball, but did not strike it fair and the sphere glanced from the bat, striking him squarely in the right ten- pie, knocking him to the ground. He revived quickly, however, and made little of his injury, saying he would be all right in a little. while and took his place in right field when his side was retired. He was unable to go to bat in the next inning, however, and retired to the dressing room to change his cloth ing. A few minutes later he was found unconscious and by order of a physi- elan was removed to the hospital, where he died few hours later without gain ing consciousness.
 Dr. Newman played with the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in 1901 and 1902.

NUCLEUS OF SILK INDUsTRY.
Secretary Wilson Exhibits First Hank
 of siIK Rceled OR Horo.

Washington, Aug. 21. Secretary Will son exhibited on his desk in the agri- cultural department to-day. the first
 hank of silk reeled from the silk reel ing machines recently purchased by the department. There are three of these machines. though only one of them has been put in operation, the intention be- ing to send one of the machines to Tuskegee and she other to some other place where sufficient interest may be shown to learn how to operate it. Co., coons have been purchased from all over the country and two expert female French operatives have been brought to Washington to teach the operation of the machines It is Secretary Wilson's desire to have the people of the south, and especially colored persons, learn the business, because of the compara tive #cheapness of that labor The silk pro- duced is of a very fine quality. The department is prepared at present to turn out about twelve hanks a day.
 We hope soon to have enough to make a flag for the president, said Secretary Wilson. "The United States imports s75,O00.00O worth of silk annu- ally and it behooves us to do all we can to establish the industry"

REVOLUTION SPREADING.
Macedonia in Fnii Fsrment- Rnasin Nvtthdra~s ITcr < qnadron.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 21.--All the dis patches received here to-day indicate that the revolution in Macedonia is spreading. The situation is causing in. tense anxiety in official circles. The most alarming news relates to an out break covering considerable area in the eastern part of the Adrianople vila- vet. where the insurgents have captured the town of Vasiliko. They took the chief Turkish officials prisoners and brought them to the Bulgarian frontier, where they liberated them. The Turk ish officials, fearing return to Vasili- ko. sought refuge of the Bulgarian au- thorities, who sent them to a, hotel in Burgas, where they are at liberty to re- main or depart. The insurgents burned the villages behind Vasiliko and at tackled a Turkish military post at the monastery of Elijah, south of Tirnovo. The eastern part of the Adrianople vil- ayet is a mountainous region and the villages are few and scattered. The strength of the insurgents is unknown. It is though that the outbreak is not an organized movement, but is intended as a diversion to draw the Turkish troops from the other districts.
 The insurgents completely burned Vasiliko and also twelve villages in the neighborhood. The Bulgarian officials

PANAMA CANAL HITCH.

Colombian Presidents sshsItiveness
 Regarding Danger to Sovereignty.
 Caracas, Venezuela. Aug. 21.-The following dispatch has been received
 from Bogota overland, via Cucuta: Before presenting the Panama canal treaty to the Colombian senate Presi- dent Marroeuin said:
 My government is confronted with this dilemma: Either our sovereignty must suffer detriment or we must re- nounce certain pecuniary advantages to which. in the opinion of many. we have right. or we must vigorously
 maintain our sovereignty and claim in
 peremptory manner the pecuniary ir,-
 demnity to which we consider our selves entitled. .a In the first case, by consenting to the diminishing of our authority and not aspiring to an important indenl-
 nity. if the canal should be opened through the Panama isthmus. the just
 desire of the inhabitants of that de-.
 partment and os all Colombians. and
 also the government would be satis- fed. but the government would be ex-
 posing itself to having the charge
 brought against it later that it did not
 duly defend our sovereignty. and that it sacrificed the interest ios the nation.
 Tn the second case, should the canal
 not be opened through Panama, the not having Colombia to contain that
 advantage which is considered an es- sential condition of our aggrandize- ment
 T have already expressed desire
 that the inter-oeeanic canal be open
 ed through our territory I think that at even the cost of some sacrifices we ought not to place obstacles in the way of so grand an enterprise, both because it will be gigantic material improve ment to our country and because once the canal is opened by the North Amer jeans we shall strengthen and widen our relations with them, which will re- suit in an immea asurable gain for in dustry. commerce and wealth. Hap oily for me. the immense responsible ity which must weigh upon him who decides this question must be assumed by congress. whose duty it is to deffn- itely approve or disapprove of the a.
 greement proposed by the North Am- erican government..''

NATIONAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Younger Doherty Win Challenge
 Lnrned Tor Championship.

Lnrned Tor Championship
 Newport. R. T.. Aug .21.-It is now practically certain that w. J. Clothier will be the one to meet the younger Doherty for the honor of challenging Larned for the national championship. R. F. Doherty is epected to default to his brother .rl the fifth round to-mor- row. so that H. l.. Doherty will next meet R.eH. Carlton in the semi- finals.
 Clothier's work in his match with Ward to-day was the strongest yet shown by any American player in the tournament. Ward is a hard man to pass at the net. yet the Philadelphian did this frequently. His ground strokes were close to the line and seldom went outside. Clothier himself was very strong at the net. His service. how ever, is not very strong, and this weak ness $ what worries his supporters most. His work to-day was steady and after the brilliant rally by Ward when he pulled up from 2-5, and won the third set. Clothier's play was just as strong as before.
 The longest match of the tournament was that between R. P. Huntington and B. w. Leonard. The younger player got the first two sets and lead in the fourth but Huntington kept very steady and finally won through superior endurance. The score os the match was: 9-11. 5-7, 6-4. 7-3. 6-3
 It was reported here to-day that a French team also expects to challenge for the Davis international trophy in England next June. ,%e
