TRUST IS FORMED
BY CLAIRVOYANTS
New Workers Will Make Business of
investigating the Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-The clair
yoyants of New York have just formed
trust, or what serves the purposes of
such an organization, even II 1t does
not deserve to be called by that name.
Unlike the Chinese laundry trust, its
object is not to fix prices. The trust OF
the seers has another purpose. All of
the members are notified by the head
officer that certain stocks are to be
recommended to clients seeking en-
lightenment as to the best means of in
vesting their money. Sometimes sew
eral companies are on the list.
Daily reports are made by the presi-
dent to the members as to what the
nature of their advice should be. OF
course, this combination does not work
only for the benefit of the companies.
The clairvoyapts get their rakeoff. But,
naturally, they do not profit so much
as the Companies, one of which made
100000 last year through this branch Of
it's business.

TRAIN WRECK TRIED
Unknown Miscreant Uses Dy.
Mantle on Northern Pacific.

Special to The Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Sept pa das-
tardiy attempt was made to wreck a
Northern Pacific stub passenger train
at 1850 this morning by an unknown
mounted man. One stick of dynamite
was placed along the rail, and when the
engine struck the powder the mass ex-
ploded. The windows of the train were
shattered and the lights extinguished.
Twelve inches of the middle of one
rail was torn out, but 1t appears the
momentum was such as to carry tbroo
cars safely across.
An investigation resulted in finding
saddle horse which the miscreant had
abandoned after escaping. The pow
der Is believed to be part of over a
ton stolen from warehouse near this
city Friday night.

TURKS AND BULGARS

question OF Peace or War Will Probably Be Settled
Within Forty-Eight Hours. Conferences Take Place
at Sofia and Constsntnope That Seem to Promise
Peace-.-An Elaborate Adjustment Plan Is Set Forth

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 22-Within
eight hours the question of peace
or war will probably be settled accord
ing to authoritative opinions here.
Premier Petroff had an interview to-
day AS result much better feel
ing prevailed and confident hopes are
expressed that a satisfactory adjust
ment will be reached. This view is
strengthened by a report from Con-
stantinople that the council of minis
ters Is within measurable distance of
an agreement on the chief points at is
sue.
The premier complained to the Turk
ish diplomatic agent of the situation
created by the arrival at Burgas Of
thousands of destitute and starving
refugees from the district of Losen-
grad. An understanding was practi-
cally reached that Turkey should
guarantee the safe protection of the
refugees and take steps to reinstate
them in their homes.
The general effect of these confer
ences in Constantinople and Sofia has
induced a much more hopeful feeling
here, although In Balkan affairs it is
always possible that the next days
happenings may change the entire sit
uation.
The war ministry has taken steps to
strengthen the Bulgarian frontier
forces, and it is reported that troops
Will occupy all the commanding posi-
tions, thus making it almost impossible
for bands to cross the frontier.
The following Is the position of the
Turco- Bulgarian negotiations:
The Porte recently manifested a dis
position to consider proposals for a di-
rect understanding, and Bulgaria ad-
yanced the following conditions:
First, the Porte to grant a general
amnesty and stop the prosecutions of
the Bulgarians in Macedonia; second, a
mixed commission to be formed, the
Bulgarian members of which should be
nominated by the Bulgarian exarch
and never be in minority on the COM
mission, to elaborate administrative re-
forms, arrange for an extension of local
administrative autonomy, insure the

Swedish Crank Is Not Allowed

suspicious character giving his name
as Samuel Swenyon was held up by the
secret service officers at Sycamore Hill
late this afternoon, while making an
effort to see the president He was
turned back to the village, shadowed,
stopped in Oyster Bay and searched
and later placed on a train for New
York. He was unarmed and appeared
to be harmless crank, possibly a re-
ligious fanatic.
Swenyon, who is a slightly built man
about thirty-fv years old walked up
the roadway leading to Sycamore Hill
this afternoon. He was shabbily at
tired, his clothes being badly torn. He
was stopped by secret service officer
SWenyon told the officer that he was
Swede and had come from New York
to see the president. A short time be-
fore the president, accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, had gone from the
house to the woods near by to chop
wood.
The man was turned back by the Off
Ger, who told him the president was
not at home. Swenyon, who said he

the grounds and started on his return
to the village. He was followed by
another officer.
Swenyon asked a passing driver for
ride, and rode into the village with
him. He had scarcely arrived at Oys-
ter Bay when he was taken from the
wagon by two secret service officers
and examined. Swenyon had nothing
In his pockets except about 81 in mon
ey and Swedish religious newspaper.
He said he lived at the Says Gerry ho-
tel, New York city. His only object in
coming to Oyster Bay he said, was to
see Sycamore Hill and the president.
The officers were convinced that he
was entirely harmless and that he was
neither an anarchist nor a socialist.
He readily acceded to the suggestion
of the officers that he leave the village.
They accompanied him to the station
and he left on the 6:07 train. At no
time did he appear to be excited. ex-
cept when one of the officers at Saga
more Hill told him that If he returned
he was liable to be shot. He left the
Hill in a hurry. He answered all
questions In frank and straightfor-
ward manner, and bore every evidence
of being an unsophisticated foreigner.

CYNTHIANA, Ky, Sept. 22.-After
a trial lasting four days, the jury in
the case of Curtis Jett, charged with
the murder of Town Marshal Thomas
Cockrell, at Jackson, July 81, 1901, this
evening rendered a verdict of guilty
and fixed the punishment at death. The
verdict, coming about two hours after
the jury went out, was surprise to
everyone.
The reading of the verdict apparent
ly did not affect Jett, but his brother
was much distressed. Elijah McKin-
ney served as foreman of the jury, and
after the delivering of the verdict to
the court the jury was polled. The
death sentence was then read to Jett
by Clerk T. J. Robinson, after which
he was given to the custody of the
deputy SheriffS.
Col. Blanton, Jett's lawyer, will file a
motion for new trial tomorrow, and
If the motion is overruled he will ap-
peal the case to the court of appeals at
Frankfort, KY.
This has been the second trial of
Jett on the charge of murder. In his
first trial, for the murder of J. B. Mar
cum, at Jackson, KY, Jett and Thomas
White were sentenced to life impris-
onment
Attorney Blanton stated tonight that
he will move for a new trial on Thurs
day on the grounds of absent witnesses,
absent counsel and erroneous rulings.
Sentence will then be passed on Jett
and his attorney will be allowed until
the November term to file his bill of
evidence for the appeal.
Blanton says Jett has authorized him
to say that he has nothing to confess
and he will make no confession. A ju-
ror stated that for four ballots eleven
jurors voted for the death penalty and
one for a life sentence. All agreed on
the fifth ballot.

DAN PATCH is
WORTH $4,000 MORE
State Board Raises Assess.
ment of PAGERS Owner
to $22,5OO.

Dan Patch has finally been located
for purposes of taxation. at the stock
farm Of his owner, M. w. Savage, in
Glendale, Scott county, and the assess
ment on Dan and his stable mates,
forty-seven in number, has been fixed
by the state board of equalization at
$22,5O0, an increase of 80 per cent over
the figures returned by Col. Savage.
Mr.. Savage did not respond in person
to the summons to come before the
board yesterday afternoon, but Harlan
p. Roberts, of Minneapolis; an attor-
ney named Christianson and a Mr..
Veeder appeared in his behalf, and
stated that he was in the East.
Mr.. Christianson, who did most of
the talking, said that Col. Savage had
no disposition to dodge taxes on any
of his property and was willing to be
treated just like anybody else. He
was willing to pay fair proportionate
assessment on his horses, and did not
desire to hide any of them or conceal
any information that should properly
be furnished.
When the question was asked if Mr.
Savage considered that he had made
fair return upon Dan Patch in listing
him with the forty-seven other horses
on his farm at an average valuation of
$268 each, Mr.. Christianson said that
in Mr.. Savage's valuation of $12,500
upon his horses, Dan Patch had been
reckoned at $4,000.
Some Cheap Horses.
Mr.. Greiner in whose district the
Savage stock farm is located, then
called attention to the fact that if
Patch was in at $4,000 that would leave
but $500 to cover the other forty
seven horses. which would be an aver
age of only SIS each.

the courts, reform the taxation and
gendarmerie and provide for personal
security.
After the accomplishment of these
tasks, the commission, which would
probably sit at Salonica, would become
the council of the inspector general and
would depute one of its Bulgarian
members to report to the sultan on the
progress of affairs.
Bulgaria also asked that the burned
villages be rebuilt with government as
sistanceth refugees repatriated and an
especial ordinance issued providing for
the organization and administration Of
the Bulgarian schools and churches.
These proposals seem to have been
accepted in principle.
In the event of an agreement being
arrived at, proofs of good faith would
be required as guarantees for their
faithful performance, and that the Bull
garians would not continue their agita-
ton.
Situation Is Puzziing.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Balkan sit
uation today presents somewhat puZ-
zling aspect. Turkey is showing signs
of yielding to the Bulgarian demands,
and it is evident from the daily meet
ing of the council of miniters at the
YildiZ Kiosk that some sort of nego-
tiations are in progress with the OBJ
ject of averting war.
According to a dispatch to the Mall
from Constantinople. these councils
concern two possibilities-either to
make an arrangement satisfactory to
! the Macedonlans, or obtain from the
great powers promises Of neutrality, IL
1T is found impossible to avoid war.
| Apparently both Turkey and Bulgaria
are anxious to repudiate having taken
the initiative in the negotiations
The Sofia correspondent of the Tele-
graph asserts that the overtures came
from Turkey and were welcomed by
the Bulgarian minister, on the condi-
ton that deeds were substituted for
words and that the cessation OF
wholesale massacre should become an
accomplished fact He adds that q
pacific solution, If it comes, will ema-
nate from Constantinople, where the

AVOIDS ROOSEVELT
Col. Pope viii Not Forgive the
Snub to Miles.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Lieut Gen.
Miles has no more intimate friend and
no more enthusiastic admirer than Col.
Albert A. Pope. head Of the newly
formed bicycle trust and good roads
promoter. Owing to Col. Pope's faith
and confidence in Gen. Miles he has
resigned suddenly from the CONNER
cial Travellers Sound Money league.
The executive committee of the
league recently adopted resolutions in
dorsing President Roosevelt for renom-
ination. The committee appointed the
advisory board of the league to go to
Sycamore hill, present the resolutions
and assure the president of the support
of the league as a body and of its
members individually. A member of
the committee sent notices of this ac-
ton to the newspapers and mentioned
Col. Pope as one of those who would
go. Col. Pope's picture was published,
with others, as a member of the Oys-
ter Bay pilgrimage.
When Col. Pope was told by the
committeeman that his name and por-
trait would appear in such a connec-
ton he was much annoyed. He sent
the newspapers denial that he would
go to see the president, and then re-
buked the committeeman for taking
IAN unwarranted liberty with his
name.
Don't you know that after President
Roosevelt insulted Gen. Miles / would
not go near him on any errand?' one
of the travellers quotes him as having
said
Il hope the Democratic convention
will have the common sense next year
to nominate Gen. Miles for the presi-
dency. Republican, as / am, l would
go out on the stump to help him. And
you want to send me, without asking
my leave. to pledge my Endorsement to
Roosevelt"
