powers. accepting in principle all the
nine points of the reform scheme.
The acceptance is qualified with the
reservation that in the application Of

'In order to establish control over the
activity of the Ottoman local authori-
ties in regard to the application of re-

Russian civil agents are to be appointed
to accompany the inspector-g general
everywhere. to direct his attention to
to report to him the abuses of the local
authorities, to transmit corresponding
proposals to the ambassadors in Con-
stantinople, and to report to their gov
ernments on everything that happens
in the country. To assist these agents
secretaries and dragomans will be
chosen, upon whom the execution of
their orders will be incumbent, and who
for this purpose will be empowered to
go on tours through the districts to
question the inhabitants of Christian
villages and to watch over the local au-
thorities, etc. ..5 a..... ...
"Since the task of the civil agents
consists in providing for the introduce
tion Of the reforms and the tranquil
zation of the inhabitants their man
date will lapse two years after their
appointment. The sublime porte will
instruct the local authorities to afford
these agents all facilities in the accom-
plishment of their mission"

quested to set apart special sums-(a)
for the reparation for the Christian in
habitants who have fled to Bulgaria
and elsewhere; (b) for the support of
Christians who have lost their property
and homes; (cl for the rebuilding Of
the houses, churches and schools de-
stroyed by the Turks during the insur-
rection. Commissions, to which Chris

GIANT CEDRIC NOT sunk.

Rumors of Collision I'm Midocean with
she LampoFt and Holt Liner Titan
Set at Rest by Arrival OF the Latter
Vessel at LIverp ooI-CedrIc Expected

Liverpool, Nov. 25.-A rumor was cir
culated in this city last Sunday to the
effect that the White Star line steamer
Cedric had been sunk in mid-ocean in
collision with the Lamport & Holt
steamer Titan. AS a careful investiga-
.ion showed that the report could not
be traced to any responsible source, lit
tie heed was paid to it. The Titan ar
rived in due course and on time off
the Irish coast yesterday. She was re-
ported at Kinsale Head, and gave no
signal to indicate any important exper-
ience during her voyage. This morning
she arrived in the Mersey. and is now
going through the Manchester canal. to
Manchester, her destination. Her own
ers, as we'll as the White Star line peo-
pie, all say that there is no truth in
the story of the rumored collision.
The Lamport & Holt steamship people
here denounce the reported collision and
sinking of the steamer Cedric was a
pure invention of an irresponsible news
agent.

A vague report, absolutely without
confirmation, and discredited entirely
by the steamship companies interested,
became current in this city this morn
ing that the Lamport & Holt line
steamship Titan had sunk the White
Star steamship Cedric in mid-ocean.
The report started with a dispatch to
a news agency here saying that such a
report was current in Liverpool, but
failing to trace it to any tangible source
at all. Such a disaster was so improb-
able that it was scoffed at in the steam
ship offices, but the rumor circulated so
fast as to cause alarm to friends Of
some Of the passengers on the Cedric.
who at once began to make anxious in
cuiries.
Inquiries were at once set on foot by
the. Associated Press, whose regular
cable service reported at noon the ar
rival of the Titan at Liverpool, follow
ing this up with the cable message
printed above. ~. Ill. g. {sss>f
The Cedric left Liverpool last We'd
resday and Queenstown at / p. m. on
Thursday. She was due off Nantucket
last night and at Quarantine this morn
ing. She has 200 cabin 100 second
class. and $40 steerage passengers on
board, among the cabin passengers be-
ing Frederick Roosevelt Schuyler, a
cousin Of the president; Mr.. and Mrs.

Of this city, and his wife.
John Lee, agent of the White Star
Line in this city, never believed the
rurrlor for a moment, even before it
was definitely shown to be baseless.

it was an unconfirmed press report

PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
England Is Far Ahead of America In
Preventing Ravages on the
SOngsters. s.

The protection of birds has been
carried SO far in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the ravages of thrushes,
blackbirds and bullfnches. These
winged beauties work great mischief
in gardens and orchards, says the New
York Tribune 49,. -.
American readers of British books
recall with pleasure vivid descriptions
of the diversion of shooting young
rocks in the early spring with short
range, smaH7bore rifles, and of the
succulence of the young rock pies
cooked by experts. But it now appears
that the English rocks have not been
thinned out with sufficient thorough
ness, and these birds do harm to va
rious farm crops. ..s 49,
East of the Mississippi in most of the
states north of the Potomac and the
Ohio the protection of birds of every
kind has been much underdone. We
have no rocks or ravens here, but it is
certain we don't protect our winged
friends as we ought to protect them.

vonshire Are Among the Enthu-

The bridge craze is making havoc in
London society, especially among the

started an anti-bridge league, but as
the greatest social leaders, notab bly, the
king and the duchess of Devonshire,

bridge players, the members of the
league find themselves vigorously boy
cotted- Young girls and young mar
ried women get heavily involved in
debt, and it is said that grave conse-
quences have frequently ensued where
they have become indebted to unscru-
pulouS men.
AS restaurant dining is destroying
the private entertaining, which has
been a distinctive feature Of English
social life, so bridge playing, which
goes on all the afternoon and evening,
is causing conversation to become a
lost art. IT,
Motoring. is another influence dis
tinctly inimical to the old order of
English social life. So many social no.
liabilities, on whose entertainments

side the metropolis and motoring to
and fro, that the season is no longer
what it was.

some other Russian suicidal societies
which have been discovered in recent
