Case.
Pittsburg. Pa, Sept. 24.-Simon S.
Burns, general master workman of the
Knights of Labor returned from
Washington, D. c., to-day where he
had been attending a meeting of the
general executive board He reports
the adoption by the general executive
board of the following resolutions:
Whereas, the newspapers report
that certain labor organizations and
their leaders are attempting to have
organized labor take up the fight of
the enemies of President Roosevelt be-
cause of his action in the dispute ex-
isting in the government printing Office
in Washington and believing the Presi-
dent is one of the best friends organized
labor ever had in the White House,
and that the present move is a political
one in the interest of prominent RepubI
leans who control some few leaders
with a desire to attempt to defeat the
nomination of President Roosevelt,
Therefore, be it resolved by the gen.
eral executive board of the order of
the Knights of Labor. incorporated,
That the action taken at this time
against President Roosevelt is not in
the interest of organized labor, but a
disrupt or lower organizations and in
jure the members, and if the leaders
attempt any such action, the majority
of the members of all organizations
without regard to their political opin-
ions, should refuse to recognize and re-
pudiate such leaders and their action.
Be it further resolved,
THAT such action is contemplated
against President Roosevelt is one of
the many errors and mistakes made by
organized labor, as they seem inclined
to ignore the rights of others, create
strikes and make demands that are un-
reasonable, relying not on the justice
of the contention or claims, but the
amount of loss or trouble they can
cause others and to see what they can
secure by depending on politicians and
not on the justice of their demands"
The resolutions suggest Senator Han
ma as arbitrator of the printing office
dispute.

Evans Criticisms.
Washington, Sept. 24.-eAt the Navy
Department to-day the fact was
learned that the aged civilian whom
Assistant Paymaster Rishworth Nichol-
son recently attacked at a public ball
at Che Foo, China, was the German
consul at that place. Nicholson, who
was said to be drunk at The time, was
convicted by court-martial and SEN
fenced to reduction of five numbers
in grade.
Rear Admiral Evans, commanding
the Asiatic squadron, in his review
OF the findings, severely arraigned the
court for the inadequate sentence inn
posed. 1t appears that the German
consul did not formally report the mat
ter to his government, supposing Mich
olson would be properly punished by
the American court.
1t Is reported that the officers who
composed the court will protest to the
Navy Department against Admiral Ev-
ans arrangement of their conduct. No
such protest has reached the depart
ment, but the Associated Press can
state on high authority that the con-
duct of Assistant Paymaster Nicholson
is a source of modification to the Navy
Department officials, and that the ac-
ton of Admiral Evans in arraigning
the court for what is considered its
inadequate sentence is heartily APP

RUSSIA ISSUES NOTE.
SAYS REFORM SCHEME FOR MACE
donna Is UNCHANGED.
END OF TURKISH OPPRESSION
WILL COME ONLY WHEN ACTIVITY
OF REVOLUTIONIsTS CEASES.

Says Macedonian Agitation Spread
to Bulgaria on Mistaken Idea That
Russia would Alter Her PIan-AII
Powers Party to Treaty of Berlin
Have Instructed Their Represent
tntives to Emphasize Their FUN
UnRnimity in AustrO-RussiRn
Work of PncificatiOn of the Bal
kans.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 24.-The Rus
sian government has issued an official
note reiterating that the attitude OF the
Powers in regard to the Austro Rus
sian reform scheme for Mace1o Tia is
unchanged and that conse luently,
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria can ex-
pect support from any quarter in the
event of open or secret resistance to
that scheme.
The government, after pointing out
that the suggested reforms were at the
outset attended with good results, says
the Macedonian agitation spread in
Bulgaria on the mistaken conception
that Russia would "alter her pro-
gramme and proclaim herself the
champion of the unrealizable plans OF
the leaders of the revolution"
The Turkish oppression will end the
note says, only when the revolutionary
activity of the committees cease. Until
then reforms cannot be appl ed, nor
the atrocities stopped
I'm view of the thickening complca-
lions the Russian and Austrian gov
ernments have reiterated their views to
this effect both at Sofia and at Con-
stantinople, and, acting on the SUCCESS
ton of Austria and Russia, all the gov
ernments of the Powers which signed
the treaty of Berlin have instructed
their representatives to Turkey and
Bulgaria to emphasize their full una
nimity in the Austro-Russian work of
pacification of the Balkans, so as to
remove all misconceptions of possible
assistance in the event of dangerous
enterprises.
These representatives have been in
structed to make a declaration to the
governments OF Turkey and Bulgaria
as follows 1.-The present state of af-
fairs in the Turkish Vilayets, which is
due to the criminal intentions of COM
mittees and revolutionary bands, does
not alter the attitude of the Powers
in regard TO the programme of action
advanced early in the year by the two
Powers most interested. Consequently.
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria can rely
on the support of any Power in the
event of open or secret opposition to
the realizat ton of this scheme
The imperial government hopes this
new warning will convince Turkey as
we'll as Bulgaria of the futility of any
attempt to avoid the fulhllment of the
demands made upon them and cause
them to take all the measures in their
power for the repression of the dis
turbances in the Balkan peninsula
which can only have the most serious
consequences for both the Ottoman en-
pire and Bulgaria"

Laughlin, leader of the Kings county
(Brooklyn) Democracy, was shown to
Charles f. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall, Mr.. Murphy made the following
statement:
Mr.. Mclaughlin, whom l respect
very much, is certainly entitled to an
expression of his views. l would not,
as an individual or as representative
of Tammany Hall, ever recommend
the candidacy of any man who would
stand for graft or any other kind of
dishonesty.
LAS l have said before, Col. McClel
Ian, in my opinion, is as strong can
didate as any of the gentlemen who
have been mentioned up to the present
time, and if nominated and elected,
would fill the Office of Mayor to the
satisfaction of the people of our city.
There is no doubt in my mind that the
convention will select a ticket that no
Democrat need hesitate to support"

B0ISTEROUS SCENES
IN HUNGARY'S DIET.
Deputies Crowd the Floor So sitting
Was Suspended.

Budapest. Hungary, Sept. 24.-The
session of the Diet to-day was marked
by stormy scenes which became so
boisterous as to necessitate it's suspen-
sion. Barabbas. a member of the Kos
suth party, went so far as to say his
party no longer believed the state
ments of the Emperor-K King, Francis
Joseph.
Charges made against Premier He'd
ervary, of completely in the Szapary
bribery scandals started the disturb
ance, and then Franz Kossuth hand
ed in an address to the Emperor King,
complaining against his majesty's re-
cent army order and the interpreta-
ton given to the constitution in yes
terday's rescript.
When Count Hedervary rose to reply
the uproar was so great that he was
unable to make his voice heard. The
deputies left their seats and crowded
upon the floor of the House and the
sitting had to be suspended
On the resumption of business Count
Hedervary was speaking when he was
suddenly interrupted by Barabbas, who
shouted:
I'VE don't believe the King"
Thereupon all the deputies irrespec-
tive of party, rose with shouts of
"Rogue!" Traitor" "Out with him!"
etc.
Barabbas tried to apologize. but his
colleagues refused to permit it, and
a vote of censure upon him was re-
corded on the minutes.

CONVICTION GROWING
WAR MUST COME.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 24.-Notwith-
standing reports to the contrary, per-
feet tranquility, almost approaching
apathy, prevails throughout Bulgaria.
There is not the slightest outward evil
dence that the country is on the verge
of war. Even in military circles there
is no excitement, though unceasing
preparation is going on. The feeling is
steadily growing that war is the sole
solution of the Macedonian problem,
the only question being whether it will
come this autumn or be postponed un-
til spring.
The preparations for the mobilization
of the Bulgarian army have been car
ried out with singular completeness as
to detail, and declaration of war will
find the Bulgarians sufficiently pre-
pared.
The details of atrocities by the Turk
ish troops in Monastr daily reaching
the Bulgarian government equal and
even exceed those already published.
The insurgent general staff in the
Monastir Vilayet has compiled elab-
crate report of events in the districts
of Kastoria between Aug. 81 and Sept.
r. It comprises a list Of twenty-four
villages, which were plundered. A
great number of houses were burned
and 572 villagers killed.

STEVENSON TALKS
OF MOB LAW.
Made Address at Dedication Mclean
County Court House.


County Court House.
Bloomington, ILL.,, Sept. 24-Former
Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson to-
day denounced mob law in an address
at the dedication of a new court house
for Mclean county. Mr.. Stevenson
said:
mo occasion could arise more ap-
propriate than this in which to utter
solemn words of warning against an
evil of greater menace to public well
fare than is to be apprehended from
foreign foes-mob rule.
In many localities the spirit of law
lessness has asserted itself in its most
hideous form. Mob rule has at times
usurped legal rule. Outrages have been
peroetrated in the name of summary
Justice. 1t need hardly be said that
all this is in total disregard of indi-
vidual rights and utterly subversive of
all lawful authority. BY the solemn
adjudication of courts and under the
safeguards of law, guilt is to be estab-
Iished and the guilty are to be punish
ed.
THE mob peril is in deadly antag-
onism to all constituted authority.
Unless it is curbed it will sap the
foundation of organized society. The
killing of a human creature is no less
murder when it is the act of mob
than when it is the act of an individ-
ual. There is no safety to society,
but in an aroused public sentiment
that will hold each participant amend
able to law for the consequences OF
crime, either perpetrated or abetted.
Let him be accounted a public enemy
who would weaken the bonds of hu-
man society and strike down what it
has cost our race, the sacrifice and
toll of centuries to achieve"

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 24.-The or
ders for a restriction of the anthra-

To-day orders were issued by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company to close
down it's twenty collieries on Saturday

Company will place tbs sixteen col
lieries idle on Friday and Saturday.
The Delaware and Hudson Company

1t is said that the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Company will
place it's collieries on three-quarter
time The Reading Coal Company will
also restrict the output by shutting
down some of it's collieries for repairs.
over 43, 200, 900 tons of coal have been
mined since Jan. /. which is several
million tons more than was ever pro-
duced for a like period i'm the history
of mining industry. The present glut
in the market and the efforts TO pre-
vent a break in prices is the cause Of
the restriction.

ONE ROBDER KILLED
IN THE HOLD-UP OF THE ATLANTIC
EXPRESS IN OREGON.

WOUNDED ENGINEER.

Another of the Bandits Found With
Load of BucISshOt in His Head.
Would Not Give Names of His
Companions In the HOld-Up-En-
gineer Was Covered and Made to
stop Train by Two Men who
Boarded Train West of Scene of
HOld-Up - DynnmIted Baggage
Car.
Portland Ore, Sept. 3O.-The Allan
tic Express on the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation line which left here at
S:l5 o'clock last night, was held up
by four masked men an hour later
near Corbett station, twenty-one miles
east of this city. One of the robbers
was shot and killed by Express Mes
senger Fred Korner. and Engineer AL
lie Barrett was seriously wounded by
the same bullet
After the shooting the robbers fed,
without securing any booty. Two of
the highwaymen boarded the train at
Troutdale,a station eighteen miles west,
and after the train had got under
way they crawled over the tender and,
covering the engineer and fireman with
revolvers, told them to stop at Mile
Post Il, which is near Corbett sta
ton.
When the train slowed down two
more men appeared. Two of the rob-
bers compelled the engineer to get out
Of the cab and accompany them to
the express car, while the others watch
ed the fireman. The men carried sew
eral sticks of dynamite, and when they
came to the baggage car, thinking it
was the express car, threw a stick at
the door.
Express Messenger Korner heard the
explosion and immediately secured his
rifle and opened fire. The blllet
pierced the heart of one of the robbers
and went through his body, entering
the left breast of Engineer Barrett who
was just behind him. Barrett's wound
is above the heart and is not neces-
sarily fatal
Sheriff Story and four deputy sheriffs
left on special train for the scene of
the robbery. Shortly after their arr
rival there one of the gang of outlaws
was found short distance up the track
badly wounded from a charge of buck.
shot which he had received in the head.
He was placed on board the special
train. The bandit said that his name Is
James Corners and that he is from
Portland but refuses to make known
the names of any of the other bandits
or the direction in which they went.
