Manv Rahals Slain.

Constantinople Aug. 13.-one hundred and fifty revolutonists were killed Tn the fighting at Sorovitch August g, according to officfal Turkish reports.
 The same dispatches which have been communicated to the Russian and Aus trian embassies state that the insurrec- tionary movement is increasing daily. Hilmi Pasha inspector general of tho sul- tan's Macedonian reforms. reports that the young men in all the Bulgarian vil- lages are fleeing to the mountains to jcel the insurgent bands. Many among the Bulgarian peasantry wish to remain neu- trial, but were compelled by threats to help the revolutionary committees.
 Hussein Hilmi Pasha, who has been ap- pointed vail of Monastir, reports a sim liar spread of the insurrectionary move ment in the vilayet of Saionica where, he says, the committees are resolved on the same campaign of massacre, incendlarism and pillage as in the viiayet of Monastir.
 Telegrams received this morning from Monastir announce that the town of Krushevo is still occupied by the insur- gents. Four thousand Turkish troops with artillery surround the town and are pre- pairing to attack, and if possible, retake the position. Fighting with the rebels Is in progress in the district of Koritza and have captured important Turkish supplies of provisions. More or less severe fight ing is reported in the districts of Kasto- ria and Florina. Three hundred insur- gents are assembled on the heights be- tween Gievgveli and Yenije. Twenty-six Mussulman peasants have been mas sacred In the village of Ziverninl, near Perlepe, by the insurgents.

 We have not succeeded as we should have done in the Philippines because. with all our boasted courage. we have been afraid to look the facts in the face. We have refused to realize that until we provide for the material welfare of the Filipinos as we provide for the material welfare of other residents on American soil We cannot expect their loyalty or that they will appreciate what American institutions are and mean
 We have failed to bring the Filipinos into the great assimilating relation with us of employer and employed. We have given them very little encouragement practically none, to take the normal American attitude toward life-the atti- tude that makes Americans work. not merely to live. but to better their condi- ton. We have not only failed to eneour- age-we have positively discouraged American capital and enterprise from go-

Leinhram was convicted and sem tenced to two years Imprisonment in FL mira and to pay fine of $5.0oo. William Goldwasser, an expert diamond merchant, put in a claim for the goods, saying he had let a customer take the stones, pre- sumably to show them to a Berlin jeweler and that instead the customer had given them to Leinkram and with the latter's aid had attempted to smuggle them into the United States. Goldwasser said that he had not been paid for the gems. but the Federal Courts decided against him, declaring the goods forfeited and ordered them sold. For making the seizure, Theo- bald will receive $500 or one-third of the price for which the goods were auctioned.

Taking of Testimony Before United
 States Commissioner.

Peoria, Ill, Aug. 12.-Taking of tcsti- mony in the drainage canal case before the United States Commissioner was con tinued today. The chief witness during fhe forenoon was R. R. Martin. chief en- gineer at the Peoria water company's pumping station. His testimony was in regard to fishing. He swore that previ- ous to the opening of the drainage canal 1t was impossible to eat fish caught through the ice. They were soft, of evil odor and totally unfit for food. When the ice went out. millions of dead fish would be floating down stream. Since the drainage canal has been open the fish are healthy and palatable the year round with no bad smell.
 During the afternoon several distillers and others were examined. all agreeing as to the improvement in conditions since the canal was opened.

UNABLE TO AGREE.
Argument in Tobacco Company Case
 Continues,


 Newark. N. J., Aug.-Before the re- sumption of argument today to show cause why a receiver should not be ap- pointed to the Universal Tobacco Com pany, Vice. Chancellor Pitney called coun- sel on both sides together in an endeavor to effect a settlement, pointing out that if he should appoint temporary receiver the matter would go to the Federal Court and that if President Butler and his friends pressed their caims. the company would become insolvent.
 As the lawyers appeared unable or un- willing to come to any agreement, the hearing was continued and Julian F. Da- vies. of counsel for the complainants. con tinued his argument begun by him yester- day. He said the application for a re- ceiver had been made to protect the pre- ferred stockholders, who were the real owners of the company. The Buffers were secured creditors and the action had been taken to restore confidence among the stockholders, the public and the trade. He claimed that the company was not in- solvent but said its affairs must be taken out of the hands of the present manage ment if any of the money invested was to be saved.
 Judge Gilbert Collins, also of counsel for the complainants followed.

THE MOB DEBATED
DR. BABBITT REPLIES TO
 COLONEL GRAVES.
General Gordon Appeals for . Na- tional Feeling of Brotherliness and Unity-The Discus
 sion Bi-Partisan.

chautauqua, N, r.. Aug. i2-Rev. Dr. Dean Richmond Rabbit. rector of the Church of Epiphiny. Brooklyn. answered John Temple Graves of Georgia. in an elaborate address today at the Chautau- qua Assembly on lynchings and mobs from an American standpoint. Dr. Bab- bitt's address was the chief of today on mobs. He contrasted the view of iynch- ing justified by Mir. Graves. with what he called the more general and the better view of the American nation" and show ed the prevalence and increasing violence of the mob spirit. its tendency to leap the color line and to lynch for minor of fences than rape and murder.
 He dwelt upon the psychology of the mob and gave the Wilmington lynching of the negro White as typical and de. nounced the officials who refused to pro- tect any prisoner of any color or for any crime. He paid a glowing tribute to or- der and law as represented in Governor Durbin and Governor Yates of Indiana and Illinois respectively. and upheld President Roosevelt in his recent letter on lynching
 Lynchers, the speaker declared, were plain. brutal savage murderers. should be treated as such by the authorities and by all worthy to bear the name of Amer ican citizen.
 More morality. less prejudice, stricter law quickly applied, fair play to negro and white and both the race question and the mob problem will assume less dan gerous dimensions" said Dr. Rabbit in conclusion.
 With thousands of Southerners at Chau- tauqa. the mob conference audiences are decidedly bipartisan. It is the belief that never before have mobs. lynchings and strikes receive such fair-minded discus sion in meetings having equal represent ation of extreme partisan supporters. This afternoon Gen. John B. eiordon de- livered his lecture on The Last Days of the Confederacy."
 General Gordon, after paying tribute to the devotion of Northern and Southern women alike, appealed for a national feel ing of brotherliness and unity.
 Now that we have emerged from that long period of darkness and blood he said. "let one who fought on the Southern side appeal for a petition to Heaven that the last vestige of sectional bitterness shall die; let us hold aloft the banner of universal humanity that 1t shall float for ever tor the most potential emblem of freedom in all the world"

ing intn the Islands

ing into the Islands.
 Our success in Porto Rico, contrasting so strongly with our lack of success in the Philippines. shows what our Oriental possessions need. They need to be brought within the American industrial circle and to be given a share in it's privileges and benefits. It is true that one provision in the treaty of Paris prevents us from giv- ing the Philippines free access to our markets at once, but 1t does not prevent us from making that the avowed goal of our policy.
 Blinded by local interests. none of which would be really injured by free trade with the Philippines. we have shirked our plain duty to them. And because we have shirked our duty-because we have refus- ed to assure their people that we would provide for their welfare-their lndus- tries stagnate and their people are url- easy and discontented. And the Islands will neither be largely profitable to us. nor our Government to their people until we open our eyes to their real need and strive resolutely to, meet it.

Why Scandals Are Unesvthed.

Pittsburg Gazette.
 It may be the Postoffice Department scandal will prove injurious to the Repub- lican party. If it does it will not be be- cause any one is being shielded by Pres ident Roosevelt or MT. Bristow. They are evidently determined to clean out the grafters of every grade without regard to their party affiliations or standing Such course ought to do the party good We believe 1t will. But whether it does party good or harm, 1t is right, and the desperate efforts of the Democratic press to make 1t appear that men are being shielded who are not, indicates their be- lief that the investigation is too thorough to make political capital for the Demo cratic Party.

Work of pashi Bazouks.

London, Aug. 13.-The Daily Mall this morning prints dispatch from Belgrade which says that the Macedonian insur- gents never appear in great numbers, but in scattered attachments, thus baffling the Turkish troops and avoiding open en- counters. They confine themselves mostly to the destruction of villages and crops, expecting in this way to compel the popu- lace to join the rebellion. The Turkish soldiers are powerless to deal with the small bands. but to show that they are active, they occasionally loot peaceful Christian villages and perpetrate the most terrible outrages under the pretense of combating the insurgents. Bashni Bazouks have become the curse of. the villages. They rob and murder indis- criminately. A climax of terrible massa- cres may occur at any time.
