Monastir. The insurgent leader
Grueff in a letter to Himi Pasha de-
mandcd that he prevent the barbar-
Gus acts of the Turkish soldiers and
Bashi BaZouks, otherwise the revo-
lutionaries would massacre all the
Turkish inhabitants. The insurgents

WILL RETAIN THE LIMIT.
sheet Will Workers Refuse TO Consent
to Unlimited Production.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 2.-The special
convention of the sheet mill lodges of
the Amalgamated association closed
last evening by voting to retain the
present limit of output. This was a
surprise, as modification of the
limit, if not its complete removal,
was expected.
\ committee of Independent manu-
facturers appeared before the dele
gates and made a plea for the re-
moval of the limit, but their efforts
were unavailing. The manufacturers
argued that as non-union mills had no
limitation placed on their product
they were getting trade that right
fully belonged to the plants working
under the Amalgamated scale, and
that it would be to the advantage of
the Amalgamated men to remove the
limit so the manufacturers could be
on par with other firms in competi-
tion. The delegates could not agree
with the manufacturers, especially at
this time when so few mills were run
ming.
President Theodore Shaffer did not
attend the convention and his absence
caused much comment.

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
A Negro Educator Is Murdered by Un-
known Assnssins.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. "A special
to the Commercial Appeal from New
Roads, La, gives particulars regard
ing the assassination of l.. 4. Plan
wing, the negro educator, near Oscar,
La, by unknown persons.
Planving was principal of the
Pointe Coupe industrial college, an
institution for the education of ne
groes. While on his way home Sum
day night on the main road near
False river he was fired upon from
a cotton field. The first shot struck
the horse which the negro was riding
and the second struck Planving in
the back of the head, penetrating his
brain and causing instant death.
1t is claimed that Planning had
been making incendiary speeches to
the negroes of the community, ad-
vising them not to work for or to
have anything to do with white peo-
pie, and it is believed that these al
legged utterances had much to do
with the assassination.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.
Four Great Events Decided at Narra-.
ganseIt Park-A had Accident.

Providence, R. L., Sept. Perfect
weather and track conditions favored
the opening in this city yesterday of
the grand circuit meeting and 5000
people who gathered at Narragansett
park witnessed four superbly con-
tested races. 1t was an off day for
favorites, Diablito in the 2:2O pace
being the only one of the picked
horses to win.
The 2:06 pace with a field of eight
starters was marred by an accident in
which Kenny, driver of Prince Direct,
was severely injured by being thrown.
from his seat. The horses, closely
punched, had reached the head of the
stretch when Prince Direct caught
his foot in the sulky drawn by Ner--
volo, and was thrown so that he
turned a complete somersault. Kenny
struck the ground heavily, breaking
his collar bone and thigh, and severe
ly injuring his wrist. lie was removed
to hospital. The horse did not
seem to be much the worse for the
accident.
The 2:19 trot with eight starters;
went over unfinished after six heats
had been trotted, Navidad and Cole.
Direct each having two heats, while
Kamares and Guy Fortune had one
each to their credit. Every heat was
battle, the sixth being particularly
spectacular when Cole Direct won
by the closest margin over Kamares
and Navidad.
The 2:20 pace required five heats to,
decide. Mary Anna took the first two
heats in fast time, only to lose the
IN nioh1itn
in New York, who captured the next
three heats and race in sensational
style.
Rowellan, a bay gelding owned by
James Golden, of Medford, Mass, had
little difficulty in defeating the ia
vorite, Dillon Boy, who was unable
to capture anything better than
fourth money. The race went in
straight heats, and second and third
moneys were divided between The
Questor and Ben Hal.

AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.
sEc Is Robbed and Beaten by n Man
Whom IHc Tried TO Arrest.


New Albany, Ind, Sept. 2.-As n re-
suit of his effort in the capacity of
amateur detective to run down
bill raiser, Charles Marshall, of Rcgo,
Orange county, Indiana, was so badly
beaten by his prospective prisoner
that he will die. Marshall is young
Countryman who shortly after join
ing an amateur detective association
received a letter from man in Chi
cago offering to sell $500 in genuine
currency for 5000. The letter was SO
worded as to give the idea that the
bills We're raised. Marshall opened
correspondence and arranged to meet
the man, who gave his name as Hite,
in secluded spot near New Albany.
The amateur detective borrowed
5000 and when the negotiations with
Hite reached the point where the
moneys were to be exchanged, he
told llite he was under arrest. Hite
knocked Marshall down with large
stone and proceeded to batter his
victims head into pulp. When
Marshall was found horribly beaten
several hours later the 5000 he had
taken to the spot was gone. Physi-
clans declare that there is no chance
for his recovery.

RELIANCE AHEAD.
Shamrock III About Two Miles
and a Half AStern.
Yachts Failed 10 Finish Inside Time
Limit on Account OF Wind Dying
Away - Interest i'm the Cup
Races WanLng-C -Chalicn-
gers Cause Hopeless.

New York, Sept. Again on Mon
day the beautiful cup defender Reli-
ancc failed to register her third VIC
tory over Lipton's challenger because
the wind died to nothing and the
time limit of five and half hours
expired before she could reach the
finish line. Her margin was approXi-
mately the same as on Thursday last.
She was less than half mile from
the finish when the gun sounded. The
Shamrock III was a faint blur on the
horizon, fully two and half miles
astern.
Reliance's failure to score the race
was the more eXasperating because
her ultimate triumph is now conced-
ed, even by Sir Thomas himself, to be
simply formality. The superiority
of the Herreshof boat in any kind
of weather is acknowledged by the
yachting critics of both sides of the
Atlantic and yesterdays fluke only
prolongs the agony of the contest
that has already been decided.
The waning interest in the cup
races was strikingly illustrated by
the size of the observation fleet, if
the ships which went down to the
ocean race course could be dignified
by such n title. Outside of the rev.
enue cutters which patrolled the
course, it consisted of half dozen
side-wheelcrs with almost empty
decks, few tugs and score of
steam yachts.
The race was spiritless from the
beginning. 1t was laid Is miles to
NN~it, Il Il 4
and return. Its saving feature was
the start, in which Capt. Wringe, by
pretty piece of maneuvering, neatly
turned the tables on the Yankee skip
per and captured the windward berth.
Even SO, the yachts crossed the line
abreast like a harnessed team of
horses.
But within Is minutes the defender
was showing her heels to the chal-
lenger and when the float at the
outer mark was reached she round
ed it 30 minutes and 23 seconds ahead
of her rival. In the five times the
boats have met this was by far the
worst beating Shamrock lIl has had
in windward work. The only inter
est which remained after that was as
to whether Reliance would be able
to reach the finish line in time to
score the race.
When off Long Beach at 1:45 the
defender was two miles ahead, having
added the second mile by literally
outpointing the challenger and at
the same time maintaining equal
speed. The mark was then in plain
view and the wind was softening.
Reliance made several short bitches
which brought her to the turn. The
challenger's cause was absolutely
hopeless when the defender rounded
the mark. The British boat was more
than two miles alec.

WITH MANSLAUGHTER.
The Directors of n Street Railway are
Charged and Their Trial Begins.

Newark, n. j., Sept. 1.-The seven
members of the executive committee
of the board of directors of the
North Jersey Street Railway Co. ap-
peared Monday in the Essex county
court for trial on an Indictment
charging them with manslaughter.
On February 10 last nine Newark
high school students were killed in
collision between Clifton avenue
car and an express train. Indictments
were returned against the directors.
When court reconvened, Prosecutor
Riker opened for the stst tie, reciting
the nature of the accident, the
crowds on the tracks and dangers of
crossings. On the morning of the ac-
cident, he said, the crossing was COW
cred with snow and ice so that the
brake shoes of the car were clogged
In consequence the car slipped down
the incline, smashed through the
gates and collided with the train. He
said that common prudence demand
ed clean traclS, empty platforms, so
as not to interfere with the motor
man, and n safety derailing switch.
These were absent in this case.
He then named the defendants in
dividually and stated that they were
aware of the condition of the tracks;
that they knew about the crossings
and they had done nothing to avoid
the accident. He asked that they be
adiudged guilty of the charge in the
indictment.

BREAK IN lEWE
THOUSANDS OF AcREs IN
FAMOUS YAZOO DELTA
INUNDATED.
Tue WORST BREAK ON RECORD
FEET DEEP is POURING
THROUGH cREvAssE.
FEARED THAT LIVES ARE LOST
DAMAGE TO PLANTATIONS AND
Lose OF STOCK WILL Be
GREAT.

G~reenville, Miss, March 30.-A vol
ume OF water sixteen feet deep and
over 500 feet in length is pouring
steadily through . crevasse in the
levee i've miles south of here and 10
flooding thousands Of acre- of the
finest farming lands in the celebrated
Yazoo delta.
The break in the levee occurred at
IL o'clock yesterday morning and the
roar Of the rushing waters can easily
be heard in GTssnville. Only 200 feet
OF the sabankment gave way at
Arst, and mighty efforts were made by
hundreds OF laborers. in charge of tho
government engineers, to check the
dsod by cribbing and sacking, but 1t
was OOH apparent that 1t was beyond
human power to successfully combat
the
Fury Of the Current.
An hour later 1t was seen that the
ends Of the levee on either side of the
force Of the curi.1t cutting the en-
bankment away as though it was
built Of sand.
When the first report of the break
reached this city the excitement was
intense and many people began to
collect their ~valuables and hold them
selves in readiness to move away at
q moments notice. The back-water
has reached here, but it is believed
that there is no DANCED, as the water
will pass rapidly to the southwark.
Maj. John NJ. Sears. who has charge
temporarily of the government offices
here, stated that the break is uR-
Q~uestionably the worst in the history
OF the levee system. He says the en-
tire delta south as far as Vicksburg
will be inundated, and the fine farm
ing lands in Washington, Bolivar and
Sharkey counties
Will Be Under Water
for more han two weeks. This is the
frat break to be reported on the Mis-
sissippi side since the present rise be-
gan. Maj. Sears says a desperate
struggle is being made to prevent the
further widening Of the breach by
rivetting the ends of the levee and
Strengthening them with sand sacks.
Reports from the interior are
meager, but it is believed the people
were fully prepared for a break and
the loss Of life, if any, will be reduced
to a minimum, though the loss of
stock may be quite heavy. The dam
age to plantations and the interfer-
enc with planting cannot be esti-
mated.

It is expected that the coming meet

up the Quarles bill relating u the

The bill is not favored by the large

mates the Communication feature Of the
