Leader of Macedonian Uprising Greeted
 as National Hero.
 Sofia, Nov. 15.-Beris Sarafoff, leader of the Macedonian revoIutionists, arriv-3 ed here last night and was received at the railroad station by thousands of persons, who brought laurel wreaths and flowers and acclaimed Sarafoff as a national hero. The Macedonian lead CT presented picturesque appearance. His beard was unkempt, his hair hung in locks and his features were weather beaten. After the delivering of patriot ic speeches a procession was formed and Sarafoff was borne on the sfoul- ders of his admirers to the house of his parents. On the way Sarafoff halted in front of the cathedral and thanked the crowd for it's reception, declaring that the revolutionists were not only uncon- quered, but that their work was just now beginning. --
 Boris Sarafoff spent nine months in Macedonia. His life was one of con- stant peril and he slept mostly in the open air. He went to Monastir with a band of sixty, Of whom only eight sur vive. He declines to discuss his future plans, but neither he nor the other leaders appear to concern themselves with the proposed reform scheme, as the desperate condition of the refugees is adding new fuel to the insurgent movement, which is expected to be re- vived on a larger scale in the spring.

Minister Powell Finally Carries Hts
 Point at san Domingo.

A Attacks EngIand's UnPFeparedness for 3waF-DscIares Ali she Details of 1t AEe Duly Recorded Ina War once of Every European Nation-ThInks the ChInese the Most Remarkable Race on Earth
Earth.

London, Nov. 15.-General Lord Wolseley's interesting volumes consti- tuting his Story of a Soldiers Life" are published here as only the story of his career up to the Ashantee war, but incidentally they are a strong attack on the administration and defence of the two branches of the service. Lord Wolseley describes England as ''the un- ready nation" and says:
 we are never ready for war, yet, we have never had a cabinet which would dare to tell the people this truth. Our absolute un- readiness for war is known to all our thoughtful soldiers and without doubt all the details which go to make up the facts are duly recorded and docketed in the war office of every European nation" .
 Lord Wolseley adjures the 'iconoclas- tic civilian officials of Pail Mall to keep their hands off the regiment and strongly denounces the present system of appointing civilian war ministers, under which, he declares, i've shall never have an army ready for rapid mobilization. He thinks that some, sort of compulsory service is neces- sary. ~
 Among the interesting reflections scattered through the books is the ex- pression of the writer's opinion that the Chinese are the most remarkable race Ion earth and are destined to be the great coming rulers of the world.

 New York. Nov. 15.-In the bathroom of his home in Ninth avenue was found to-day the body of Chevalier Luigi Petich, former ambassador of Italy to Mexico. He had been dead three days and apoplexy is said to have been the cause of death. Chevaiier Petich was sixty-five years old, and man of many attainments, scientist, inventor and scholar, but withal recluse. The on ly person of the neighborhood who is known to have ever talked with the cheyalier says that the man lived strange life in his laboratory, which was filled with electrical devices.
 Chevalier Petich came to the United States few years ago with the inten,- tion of recouping his fortune so that he might go to Buenos Ayres, where his wife is living. A dispossess notice was served on him last Wednesday. Among his effects was found a small sum of money, a jewelled sword and chapeau, and handsomely engrossed set of resolutions eulogistic of the chevalier, signed by hundred delegates of a di- plomatic convention held iii Antwerp in 1885,
 Luigi Petich was the man who found and owned the famous smiling Tol- tee heads" These were among the first early American archaeological finds which went to prove the relation ship of the earlier races of this conti- nent with Asiatics The heads were found in Mexico and the faces, be- lieved to be Toltec images. were of Chi- nese, African and Egyptian types.
 The Petich collection, as 1t was known, consisted of 1924 objects, all of Mexican relics. and in scientific value it was second only to that of the mu- scum of the City of Mexico.
 In the years of prosperity MT. Petich and his young wife entertained lavishly and moved in good society here. Valuable paintings, many of them the works of old masters. priceless bric-a brac and bronze. were included in his art treasures, which he valued at $25O,- 0oo. When the crash came and he and his wife were obliged to adopt an hum bier mode of living they stored their treasures. and the chevalier devoted himself to mechanics. Ills progress was slow and the financial return so poor that he was obliged to sell what he had stored to purchase food. Matters reach- ed such 2 stage three years ago that Mrs. Petiich went to live with her moth- CT in Buenos Ayres.
 Gradually the collection of MT. Petich went to purchase the necessities of life until only one van load-there had been originally nine-remained in the ware house. These MT. Petich told friends he would never part with

Washington, Nov. 15.--In official cir cles here the opinion is expressed that the commission consisting of Generals Reyes, Holguin and Ospina, which ac- cording to the Associated Press dis patch from Bogota, have started on a peace mission to Panama, are embark ed on hopeless task.

HOPES FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
Mitchell Does Not want Either strike.
 OF Locknnfn.

Lynn, Mass. Nov. 15.-Many dele gates to the American Federation of Labor convention in Boston attended a mass meeting held under the auspices of the local Central Labor union at Lasters' hall tonight. The speakers included President Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell. Mir. Mitchell said, in part:
 cannot conceive of any place where labor can be divided and struggling within it's own ranks. A few years ago there were many different organiza- tions in the coal regions, some secret, some open, some political and some revolutionary. While these organiza- tions were in control wages continually went lower until the sad spectacle was presented of men, not on strike, but ac- lively at work, becoming objects of public charity and forced to ask con- tributicns to pay for the necessaries of life. These are now organized in one body, and during seven years wages have been increased n per cent, the daily hours of labor have been reduced from twelve to eight, and moral and social conditions have been greatly inl- proved
 Many persons think that go about causing strife and strikes, while these are the very things with which wish to do away by bringing capital and la bor together.
 While labor does not own the fac tories and mills, on the other hand em- ployers do not own the men and women who work. I hope the day will come when agreements will abolish strikes and lockouts. and this will be only when both sides understand one anoth- CT better
