SICK WIFE
Train RObber Re-
turns After Her
Recovery.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept s.-Another es-
capped convict from the Mississippi peni-
tentiary presented himself to-day and
apologized for his escape. He is Brooks
Story, the notorious express robber, who
has escaped five times from the peniten-
tiary.
To-day Story presented himself at the
Governors mansion and explained that
he had received word that his wife
was critically i'll in Kosciusko, more
than 100 miles away, a week ago,
and he broke out Of prison to get to her
bedside. AS soon as she was out Of dan
ger he returned to the penitentiary. .
Story belongs to one of the best fam
lilies in Mississippi and in her young
womanhood his wife was noted for her
remarkable beauty. Evil companions led
the young husband astray, and holding
up trains and robbing express Offices soon
became his occupation. He was finally
caught and sent to the penitentiary to
serve a ten-year term

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Sit was evident
from the trend of the discussion on the
part of the members Of the State Board
Of Equalization at a meeting to-day that
the assessment Of many of the counties
of the State will be raised. There Is a
well-founded belief that the assessment
of the city and county of San Francisco
will be among those to be raised.
Although the board has until the 18th
inst. in which to arrive at a conclusion
regarding the county assessments, it may
take final action any time between now
and that date. After the meeting to-day
the members of the board declined to
make any statement, saying they would
not commit themselves before taking final
action.

Dispatch Says Bulgaria's Army Is to
Be Modified.

LONDON, Sept 1O.-Except that the
Consuls in SaIonica are again asking for
the protection of warships, there is lit
tie direct news this morning from the
seat of the Macedonian troubles, but
there is a plentiful crop of sensational
statements. which it is impossible to con-
firm or deny. Among the latter is the
assertion made in a Sofia dispatch TO the
SecIo of Milan to the effect that it has
been decided to mobilize the Bulgarian
army. This is contrary to the avowed
policy of the Bulgarian Government. but
cannot be regarded as unlikely, as the
Turkish troops are concentrated at Cock
tepe, five miles from the Bulgarian from
tier.
In Paris there Is a persistent rumor that
NJ. Constans, the French ambassador in
Constantinople, intends to resign as a
protest against the apathy shown by his
Government. According to a Sofa dis
patch to the Daily Express the British
agent there has already notified Bulgaria
that Great Britain insists that she pre-
vent the passage Of bands into Mace
donia.
Little credence Is attached to a story
published in the Vienna Die Zeitung that
Turkish troops have been ordered to cross
the Bulgarian frontier.

cellor. had long conference with En-
peror Francis Joseph at Budapest yester-
day and common diplomatic action by the
powers against Bulgaria is again said
to be in preparation
The Italian feet is held in readiness at
Sicily, so that it could reach Turkish wa
ters within forty-eight hours, but Italy
will not take any action except in accord
with the powers.
The Daily TeIegraph's correspondent in

part Of the Bulgarian Government to hin

a result the palace is strongly guarded.

It is learned from Philippopolis that the
Macedonian committee is actively organ
izing new revolutionary bands, OF which
40 have been formed in Eastern Roume-

Ell PAsO, Tex, Sept. sc. Myrnberg,

Don't Give Up.

The appointment of Thomas Ryan, of Kansas, Alaska Worlds Fair com missioner, has led some of our eX- changes to express themselves in strong language, and they have right to feel that Alaska has again been mistreated. Of course all loyal Alaskans were hearty in their support of man from Alaska. Some few of the Alaska papers have even gone so far as to urge Alas kans to have nothing to do with the eX- hibit, because our wishes were not consulted in choosing a commissioners. This is rank foolishness. While much more might have been accomplished by an Alaskan, one who was thoroughly acquainted with the wonderful resour- ces of this country, the St. Louis Worlds Fair may even yet be the means of the accomplishment of much good. If, on the other hand, the people of the District refuse to give Mir. Ryan their support, there is everything to indicate that the Alaska Exhibit will be flat failure. In that case what has been ac- complished? Simply loss of the op- portunity and the venting of a little spite. Mr. Ryan, being a stranger to Alaska needs the cooperation of the people even more than he would if he were resident of the country he seeks to represent. lie has it all to learn be- fore he can arrange an exhibit that will do credit to the various interests rep resented here.
 And then again, if Alaskans stand back at this time,such men as Geograph- ical Jackson and his stripe, willrush madly to the front, with words of ad- vice for Mir. Ryan, and private graft as side line.
 Congress has appropriated the sum of S5O,OOO for the Alaska exhibit, and, while this is a small amount to do any thing with, the proper spirit shown to- ward the exhibit by Alaskans, may bring another appropriation of as much more at the next session.
 Alaska has everything to gain and nothing to lose by this exhibition, and at any rate nothing is to be gained by a case of sulks. Let us coma up and take our medicine like men, swallow the lump in our throat and keep onyell ing for Alaska.

Those people who are so perfectly satisfied with the kind of government that Alaska now has, are only showing their ignorance of the conditions that exist. For instance the code demands that nonresident companies wishing to do business in Alaska should make cer- tain statements and affidavits, the char acter of which is very imperfectly de- scribed, yet, when such companies are ready and willing to do their part in the matter, TO blanks are available and information oD the subject is very grudgingly dealt out. In no state or territory does a similar condition exist. That much for territorial form of gov ernment for Alaska.
