Crisis in British Cabinet.

London, Sept. Is. The designations
of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Chan
cellOr of the Exchequer RitcLie, and
Lord George Hamilton, Secretary for
India, from the cabinet, form the chief
topic of comment in the morning and
afternoon papers. 1t is learned on the
highest authority that the resignation
of other members of the cabinet will be
handle! in shortly. The resignation of
the Chancellor was notexpected, but the
withdrawal of Chamberlain came as q
complete surprise to all. 1t now seems
hardly probable that the government will
be able to hold on until after the first
part of October when Premier Balfour' :
long promised speech on the tariff ques-
ton will be given. 1t now looks as
though the temporary arrangement in
the ministerial family would be the
appointment of Austin Chamberlain to
succeed Richie; the placing of w. st.
John Brodrick, at present Secretary for
War, in the Office of Secretary for India;
either Arnold Foster, or the Earl
of Percy in charge of the war Of
fee, and Lord Miner as Colonial
Secretary. The crisis finds the con
sentative camp more badly split than
that of the liberals, who seem to be con-
stantly gaining strength, where the for
mer are constantly losing it, The lib
erals are united in favor of free trade,
their only drawback being that they have
no CONSPICUOUS leader. In the next cleo
ton free trade will be the point at issue
and it is probable that it will make the
next election the most interesting one
since 1885. The bye-elections, which
will occur in the next month or so, will
probably show, to a large degree, the
general trend of the public mind The
Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
Chamberlain's withdrawal, says the
scene is all to the credit of John Red
mond the nationalist leader. The st.
James Gazette mourns the loss of the
greatest Of Colonial Secretaries, and de-
plores the fact that his colleagues were
too weak kneed to stand by him. The
Globe, conservative, says that throughout
the colonies Chamberlain's retirement
will be regarded as national imperial
list disaster.

War Inevitable.

Sofia, Sept. 1S.-The report received
yesterday that the entire population of
Kastoria, numbering in the neighbor-
hood of ten thousand, had been wiped
out by the Turks stirred Bulgarians to
the core and the Macedonian sympathiz-
ers, of whom there are thousands, are
today clamoring for vengeance on the
porte. The reports of the massacre are
confirmed and the chances are that a
declaration of hostilities against Turkey
will follow in few days. Dispatches
received today state that Kastoria is still
burning. The massacre of the inhabi-
tants is said to have been horrible re-
yond description. The Turks slaughter
ed Bugarians and Greeks, men, women
and children Unfortunately.
London, Sept. 1S.-The Belgrade cor
respondent of the Westminster Gazette
today wires his paper that an exhaustive
investigation on his part has not only
tended to confirm reports of Turkish
atrocities in the Balkans, but has shown
him that they have been under esti-
mated. He says: Starting with my
sympathies for the Turks, | have
found overwhelming evidence convinc-
ingly proving that the Turkish atroci-
ties are rather under estimated in the
reports of the British consuls, ban
kers and other unprejudiced people
NJ. Tsokef, the Servian minister of
foreign affairs, tells me that he
knows of cases of starving Macedonian
women who are wandering in the forests,
and who, having three children, have
killed two of them to preserve the life of
the third. The wanderers" he adds,
twill all perish within two months I'M
less some aid reaches them.

Washington, d. c., Sept. Is.
Reports of hazing at Annapolis have
reached the Navy Department inform

CAPT. Brownson, the commandant OF the

to deal with this phase of cadet life and
he will undoubtedly adopt stringent
measures to suppress rowdyism and

alleged to have so hazed members of the
4th class as to cause their treatment in
hospital. II will be remembered about
a year ago he disciplined the upper class
by combining its members to quarters I'M
til they voluntarily came to the front
with the most solemn pledges OF future
behavior. Should it be proved that these
pledges have been violated it is probable
that the country will lose the services OF
number OF young men.

spiracy to defraud the government in
the sale to the department of a device
in which the politician is interested, the
second charging the postofiice official
with accepting bride and third charg-
ing the New York man with offering
brides. The New Yorker is one whose
name has been mentioned in connection
with the recent investigations.

New York stock Market.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The stock

to more encouraging crop and weather

the improvement was only fractional.
Wabash common on light sales rose IL

barely steady, Notwithstanding the as
surance given that there was to be no re-
duction in prices of finished products.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit was dull, at n
slight improvement. The speculation,
while extremely narrow, was better sup

believe that sufficient short interest has
been created to warrant some aggressive
ness for the advance. Government
bonds unchanged.
The low price of steel common stock,
which today touched a new low record
of 1871, has caused no end of talk and
discussion in the financial district, and
repeated assertions are made that the
next dividend will be passed.
