Somewhat Despondent.
Events Of Next Few Days Are Awaited
With Much Anxiety.
mo Importance Given Negotiations by
Turkey and Bulgaria.

Sofia. Sept. ga less hopeful feel
ing prevails, today, in government cir
cles regarding the general situation, al
tnough no actual change is reported.
Inc events of the next two days are
awaited with great anxiety and popu-
lar feeling is becoming more excited
largely attended meeting. of Macedo-
man sympathizers was held at Rust
chuk, Bulgaria, Sept. 2, and adopted
resolutions appealing to the Bulgarian
government to declare war on Turkey
Immediately.
IN revolutionary circles war is be-
l1eved to be imminent unless Turkey
stops massacring the Christians. of
winch there are no signs at present. DR..
Christie Tartartcheff, president of the
Macedonian organizations, has inform
ed The Associated Press correspondent
that the insurgent committees attach
no importance to the reported negotia- =
tons between Turkey and Bulgaria,
because similar propositions We're dis
cussed in 1897 and later in 1899 and
1900.
Special significance attaches to the
Macedonian meeting at Rustchuk, be-
cause the resolutions adopted are the
first open expression of such an en-
phatic character in favor of war COM
ing from any popular meeting in Bull
garia. Rustchuk is the chief commercial
town in the country. Resolutions We're
also passed thanking the Pope, the
English bishops, the trades union con-
gress and the British and American
press fer their expressions of sympa-
thy with the Macedonian cause.
Fighting is reported to have taken
place near Kotschani. on the frontier,
in which the Turks lost 30 men killed
and the insurgents suffered Il loss of 10.
\ panic prevails 1t Kotschani and all
business and work is at Il standstil. A
number of reports of other minor en-
counters and more atrocities by the
Turks continue to come in.

HARD AND FAST ASHORE.
Orleans Life Savers Are Out Assist
~ ing Schooner in Distress.

Oreans. Mass. Sept. 23.-Just after
dark, tonight. the life saving patrol be-
tween Orleans and Old Harbor stations
discovered that a small schooner which
had been beating down the cape before
sunset had gone ashore. The vessel
burned several signal torches which
were answered from shore. and the pa
troll at once notified the two stations.
Although the sea was comparatively
calm and very little air was stirring.
the life savers hurried the apparatus to
the scene and within an hour one of the
life boats had been launched. The YES
sci appeared to have struck one of tn"
outer bars and while she seemed to be
resting easily the life savers are using
every effort to work her free.
AT a late hour. tonight. the life saw
crs had not returned and it was
thought that they were waiting Tor
high water.

Atlantic City. N. j., Sept. 23.-The
session of the National Unitarian con-
gress of Christian churches, today. was

Amherst, Mass. and Charles W. Ames
of st. Paul, MINI.

Rev. Richard Boynton, young min
lister of ST. Paul, Mimi, in spirited
speech, asked for information as to
Just what the Unitarians theology
was. He said he had tried to discover
it but had failed and he challenged any
minister present to define it.
Rev. Mr.. Grant, formerly OF New
burg, y. Y, explained that Unitarian
ministers have a theology if they have
no right to the pulpit. He said the foun-
dation stone of Unitarianism was that
man is to God as child and father; that
with this as basis the ideals of man.

KING MENELiK
TO Be Invited to Come Over to the St.
Louis Exposition.


Canton, Ohio. Sept 23-United States
Consul General Skinner to Marseilles. who
is here on furlough and who will make
an official visit to King Menelk of Abys-
sinia. will leave for Marseilles on Oct: $.
Mr. Skinner says that the purpose Of his
going to Abyssina is simply one Of the
state department efforts to create trade
where none exists and to extend it else
where: that American goods have filtered
into Abyssinia for many years almost
without the knowledge of our own people.
He states that Abyssinia is kingdom OF
10.00o000 people, with a stable government
and a recently completed railroad. As
American manufacturers are not in the
habit of dealing directly with such far
away lands. it is Mr.. SINNERS duty to go
there and ascertain how the conditions
are under which business is transacted in
that region. with the view to increasing
American commerce there.
Another matter that makes Mr.. Skin
ner's trip opportune will be to extend an
invitation to King Menilik to have his
government represented at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.

Tufts College Students Engage in Very
Peculiar Pieasantries.

Medford. Mass. Sept. 23.-The annual
rush at Tufts College between the sopho-
mores and the freshmen which was pre-.
cipitated at an early hour today. was of
"a particularly violent nature and 1t was
ma rSed by one incident which may be
followed by an investigation on the part
of the college authorities. This incident
entered ore of the college dormitories,
dragged six sophomores from their rooms
and then proceeded to haze them by es-
corting them to a position in front of the
women's dormitory and there forcing
them to remove their clothing.
This unusual preliminary step. Of the
rush caused the sophomores. who soon
gathered to the number of 40. to attack
the freshmen with great ferceness. Dur
ing the scrimmage many students were
thrown and trampled upon. Many of the
injuries are painful but are not serious.
