LESS HOPEFUL NOW
u.CEDoNIANs ASK FOR A WAR
AGAINST TURKEY.
MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS
WILL CAUSE WAR, BELIEF OF THE
REVoLUTIONISTs.

M Importance Attached to Reported
Negotiations Between Bulgaria
md Turkex-BcIicved Sultan Only
Entered Them to Gain Time.
Wants to Crush Out dangerous
Element in Macedonia to Have
Troops Free in Case of War With
BuIgaria,-More Fighting Re-
ported.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. ga less hope
full feeling prevails to-day in govern
ment circles regarding the general stu
alton, although no actual change is
reported The events of the next two
days are awaited with great anxiety
and popular feeling is becoming more
excited. A large attended meeting OF
Macedonian sympathizers, held al
Rustchuk, Bulgaria, has adopted reso-
lutions appealing to the Bulgarian gov
eminent to declare war on Turkey i'm
mediately.
In revolutionary circles war is be-
leved to be imminent unless Turkey
stops massacreing the Christians, OF
which there are no signs at present. DR..
Christie Tatartcheff, president of the
Macedonian organizations, has inform
ed the Associated Press correspondent
that the insurgent committees attach
no Importance to the reported negotia-
tions between Turkey and Bulgaria
because similar propositions were dis
eussed in 1897 and later in 1899 and
1900.
The Porte, added DR.. Tatartcheff
only entered into the conference in or
der to gain time to finish the eXter-
mination of what it regards as the
dangerous elements in Macedonia, and
have the troops now at Monastir free
10 move against Bulgaria and bring
more soldiers from Asia. While the Sui
tans government is discussing prepara-
tons for reform in Macedonia the
troops continue to massacre the Chris
tians and devastate the country.
Resolutions of Thanks.
Special significance attaches to the
Macedonian meeting at RustchuK, be-
cause the resolutions adopted are the
first open expressions of such an en-
phatic character in favor of war COM
ing from any popular meeting in Bull
garia. Rustchuk is the chief CONNER
cial town in the country. Resolutions
were also passed thanking the Pope
the English bishops, the trades unior
congress and the British and An1eri'
can press for their expressions of SYM
pathy with the Macedonian cause.
Fighting is reported to have taken
place. near Kotchani, on the frontier
in which the Turks lost fifty men killed
and the insurgents suffered a loss OF
ten.

Canadian Pacific Shows Nice In
crease in May Earnings-Es-
pecially in West.
Ontario Line Admittedly Of Less I'm
portance to System Than
Prairie Section.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, July An increase of 20
per cent in gross and 10 per cent in net
for the month Of May is the showing that
Canadian Pacific publishes. Officials
have no definite explanation to make of
the increase in gross, being content to say
that it arises from the fact that the road
is carrying more freight and more passen-
gers than in any previous year in its
history
| It is pretty well understood that the
business of Canadian Pacific centers at
Winnipeg and westward, and the Ontario
traffic of the company is not by any
means so important as it's prairie bust
ness. AS a matter of fact, the company
| Is often criticized for it's Ontario service.
The main line from Toronto eastward
compares very unfavorably with the main
line OF Grand Trunk thru the same ter
ritory, and the company has made prac-
| tically no effort to keep pace with the
strides that the latter has made in the
| improvement Of the system and service
| in that territory. Canadian Pacific peo-
pie are quite frank in admitting that the
hope of the system lies in the west and
that it Is in Its prospects as granger
road that its future is great. Four years
ago the receiving facilities Of the line
were practically centralized at Owen
Sound, the effort to divert Chicago traffic
from Grand Trunk thru Sarnia to Cana
dian Pacific. thru Windsor being to all
intents and purposes abandoned. The
main line still receives a great dea lof
traffic across the Detroit river, but the
trunk line development is slow as COM
pared with the efforts that are being d.
rected toward the prairies
In this connection the report that Can
adam Pacific will shortly abrogate its
agreement with Grand Trunk for the use
of the 200 miles Of track from Toronto
to North Bay and build it's own lin thru
that territory is interesting. The report,
of course, emanates from Toronto. A
careful canvass of official opinion leads
to the belief that 1t lacks truth.
The position of the roads with regard
to the Georgian bay ports is practically
as follows: Canadian Pacific almost
monopolizes the grain and other traffic
at Owen Sound, the most important of
the points of entrance, carrying its freight
from that point thru Toronto. Grand
Trunk carries the business of Colling-
wood thru Toronto and of Midland east
ward on the Midland division toward
Montreal. Canada Atlantic occupies Parry
Sound exclusively, All of these ports are
great originators Of traffic, customs col
lections at Owen Sound and Collingwood,
running second only to Montreal in some
years. - -. 4. H.
