A French syndicate has just obtained
the permission of Spain and Morocco
after long negotiations to construct the
great submarine tube under the Strait
of Gibraltar, which project was the
scheme of the famous Paris engineer
NJ. Jean Berlier. The difficulties to be
overcome were not so much geograph-
ical obstacles, as the task OF inducing
the government of Morocco to give its
consent to the undertaking. 1t is said
that the English sought to influence
the sultan of Morocco against the
scheme, but French diplomacy at last
prevailed and his consent was obtained.
A writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer
says: THE French syndicate has is.

TRIED TO POISON FAMILY.
Some Enemy Of oskaloosa Coal Opera
tor is Fiend.

Oskaloosa, Sept. 19.-An effort to
poison the entire family of w. A. Dur
fee, a prominent and highly respected
coal operator at What Cheer, was dis
covered yesterday morning in time to
prevent perhaps the death of every
member.
Upon arising at an early hour Mr.
Durfee discovered evidences of paris
green on the platform of the well, and
upon closer examination 1t was dis
covered that great quantities of the
deadly poison had been poured down
the pump stock and into the water.
Alarmed at such a bold and sensa-
tional attempt to commit a multiple
murder, Mr.. Durfee made an examina-
ton Of the milk in cave close to the
dwelling. Here it developed that the
would-be assassins had emptied guam
titles of phosphorus into the milk.
This was revealed upon examination
of the fluid by a chemist. Officers
were at once dispatched to the Dur
fee home, but as yet there have been
no clues discovered.
Mrs. Downing an only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Durfee, was at the lat
ter's home visiting. She stated that
during the night she heard some one
walking about in the yard. She
thought at first that it might be COW
or horse, but the noises she now says
were undoubtedly made by the parties

Participation In Fur Robbery.
Clinton, Sept. 1S.-A sensation was
created here when the police arrested
Michael Conroy, a saloon keeper, on
the charge of being an accessory in
the Grossman fur robbery here sixteen
months ago. The robbery was one of
the most sensational in the history of
the city. II took place on the after
noon Of Decoration day, but the theft
was not learned until the next morn
ing. The goods stolen were valued at
$500. A fur dealer in Des Moines
was arrested for the crime, but proved
his innocence. Several months ago 1t
was learned man named Hall of Chi.
cago was implicated in the robbery.
However, he was also wanted for
crime in Illinois and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for the Illinois of.
Tense and is now in prison. However,
his wife is here to testify before the
grand jury and also at the prelimin.
airy hearing to be held Saturday.
The grand jury is also investigating
several robberies which have been
committed here during the past few
years and 1t is said arrests will follow
which will cause sensation here.
Last winter man named Burrier, a
hardened criminal, was arrested for
robbing the residences of DIR. Hamil-
ton and DIR. Fischer. He entered a
plea of not guilty and made written
statement, giving information, it is
said, of all the other recent robberies
in this city. The officials have been
extremely active and have brought
witnesses from all parts of the state
and even from Omaha and Chicago.

MUST STAND ALONE.
Bulgaria Cannot Expect Assistance
From tire Powers.


From k,e Powers.
Sofia, Sept 1S.-The German repre-.
sentative here has addressed a note to
the Bulgarian government, in ac-
cordance with declarations of Rus
STA and Austria, saying that Bull
garia cannot expect assistance from
any power in the event Of war with
Turkey, and that the Austro-Hunga-
rian reform plan will be applied.
The Austrian representative, in in
sisting on the necessity for Bulgaria
remaining calm, declared that II the
principally was powerless to prevent
the passage of insurgent bands into
Macedonia, Austria and Russia would
take note of her powerlessness and
charge Turkey to exercise her rights,
defend her territory against foreign
incursions and maintain order in the
interior.
Dispatches from Uukub announce
that since the calling out of the Turk.
ish reserves the situation in the villa
yet has grown worse. The Austrian
and Russian consuls are reported to
have asked their ambassadors at Con-
stantinople to demand that the porte
disband the reserves or maintain dis.
cipline among them. Since the re-
serves were mustered pillaging and
murders have been reported daily.
The consuls are powerless.
The Autonmye publishes the names
of IL villages In the vilayet of Monas-
tir, which were recently destroyed by
regular troops and Bashi- Bazouks and
also announces that the monastery of
the Holy of Holes, near Okhride, has
been destroyed. At the monastery
Turkish soldiers killed an entire fam
lily. the Bulgarian priest. his children
and his grandchildren, So persons in
all.
The foreign office here has received
reliable information that the Turks
have destroyed the town of Kastoria,
thirty-six miles south of Monastir,
and have massacred the population.
The report of massacre at Kas-
toria comes from sources admitting of
little doubt, though the. details are
lacking. 1t was received with the
gravest concern by the officials here.
The population of Kastoria numbers
about 10000 persons and the massacre
of such number in one place, II the
report be true, exceeds anything
which has occurred in Macedonia. At
the present critical moment, when
popular feeling Is intense, the effect of
the report of such stupendous slaugh-
ter may be most serious.

Hence with M. Zinovieff, the Russian
ambassador, Friday, the sultan ex-
pressed his regret at the excuses COM
mitted by the Turkish troops in the
villyets of Monastir and Adrianople.
He said that orders had been sent to
he authorities concerned to prevent
heir repetition, and he gave the Rus
sian ambassador to understand that
the guilty parties would be punished.
The German ambassador, Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein, also had
an audience with the sultan, who
showed himself most optimistic. He
declared that the insurrection was
drawing to a close. In fact, it had al
ready been suppressed in some dis
tricts and the porte would, therefore,
issue proclamations announcing the
resumption of the application Of the
reform scheme.
After the granting Of these audi
ences an extraordinary council OF min

the deliberations were continued on
Saturday. 1t is understood that the
council drew up fresh instructions to

Salonica, Monastir and Adrianople re-
port numerous encounters which re-
suited in favor of the Turks.

Stolen Goods Found in His Room
Makes Dash for Freedom.


Marshalltown, Sept. 1.-THE find
ing of fur boas near Jackson street
yesterday led to the arrest of two per-
sons charged with the theft of $4,000
worth of furs from II. Singer Monday
night. A search warrant was issued
for the home of Tom Lowery, color
ed, 703 Jackson street, and officers
Mike Clark and William Lage detailed
to search the premises. When they
entered the house they found a cloak
valued at SIS hidden in a bed. AS
soon as this was found colored man
named Austin ran from the room, fol-
lowed by Officer Lage, who fired three
shots but failed to hit Austin ran to
the vicinity of the glucose works and
hid in the weeds.
The officer took the buggy Of the
mail carrier and followed, overtaking
Austin and arresting him. While he
was searching his man he laid his re-
yolver on the buggy seat. Austin
made lunge, obtained possession of
the gun, and a fight for its possession
took place. The officer felled his man
but II required both hands to hold
him and the gun could not be taken
from him. The negro fired two shots
with the revolver close to the head
Of the officer, but was warded of by
Lagos arm, the wrist of which shows
marks Of the shots and is badly powd-
erburnt. One ball glazed his head.
Officer Clark meanwhile took the
woman in charge and searched the
house. At about last evening the
goods were found hidden in hay in the
barn in the rear of the house. II is
thought the whole amount has been
recovered, as there are Twenty-Five
pieces in the police court. Lowery
was arrested for harboring them and
being implicated. Austin has a bad
record. and is reported to have come
here from Oskaloosa. II was neces-
sary to place handouts on Austin to
get him to jail.

BANNER OF REVOLUTION.

London, Sept. 21-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Sofia telegraphs:
Zone of the revolutionary chiefs has
informed me that the revolutionists
are massing thousands Of men at vari-
Gus points on the frontier, and their Ia
boratories are working necessarily to
replenish their stock of bombs and ex-
plosives. They do not count much on
war between Turkey and Bulgaria, but
on the day they hear that the meeting
between the car and Emperor Francis
Joseph has not had the desired result
for Macedonia, the world will witness
massacres, burnings and destruction,
compared with which the Turkish at
rocities will seem child's play. The
banner of revolution my informant
says, will be unfurled in all the bor-
der districts. Every city and village,
whether the inhabitants are friends or
foes, will be destroyed, and such a
state of anarchy will be caused that
the Turks will step out voluntarily and
leave the country to the Macedonian
survivors. We have selected the from
tier districts for these final operations,
so that Europe may hear the despair
ing cries Of the dying nation which
the Turks would stifie.'"

tary Chamberlain, which precipitated
the most dramatic crisis and the bit
terest party struggle since his seces-
sion from Mr.. Gladstone's home rule
cabinet, was unknown and unsupported
in London until the official announce
ment was issued late at night
II is understood that the resigna-
tions of some other members of the
cabinet are imminent, and that Lord
Balfour of Burleigh, secretary for
Scotland, has actually resigned, al
though the fact has not yet been for
mally given out. Lord Lansdowne,
the foreign secretary, left London last
night for Balmoral, whittier Premier
Balfour and his brother are also ex-
pected to proceed Immediately.
In the conservative clubs last night
the manner in which the crisis was
projected was almost as great q sur
prise as in liberal quarters. Curiosity
centers on the attitude of the Duke Of
Devonshire, whose resignation has
been fully expected. 1t was supposed
by some that he would take the pres
ent opportunity of retiring from poll.
tics on the ground Of his advanced
years. AS to the reconstruction of
the cabinet no great interest is excit.
ed, although the political prophets are
already busy appointing Austen Cham
berlain chancellor of the exchequer,
the Earl OF Selborne as secretary for
the colonies, etc, because II is recog.
nized as impossible that an appeal to
the country can be much longer de-
layed. and the general opinion is that
in the present shattered condition Of
the unionist party the liberals will be
returned to power.
