Evenss Seem to be Shaping for Hor-
 rible Developments.

London, Sept 9-Everything seems to point to new and terrible developments in Macedonia. On top of the appalling accounts of the results of the Turkish methods of restoring order In the vilayet of Monastir comes the threat Dy the insurgents to resort to reprisals on the same scale. The Portes' anxiety to sup press news by expelling newspaper cor respondents from the area of the opera tions is held to have but one meaning.
 This mornings papers comment upon the significance of the news first publish cd hy the Associated Press that Russia and Austria are seeking to persuade ffle powers to coerce Bulgaria as showing a belief that war is inevitable.
 No further news regarding the outbreak at Beirut has been received here. A dis patch to The Standard from Constan- tinople dated Sunday says:
 The Turks are much disturbed by the presence of the American warships at Beirut and are making every effort to have them recalled. In spite of all asser- tions that the United States only intends to be there for the simple protection of the rights of her citizens, 1t is possible that the dispatch of the war ships may initiate action leading to much trouble. !"
 The same correspondent telegraphing under Mondays date on receipt of the
  the slightest encouragement disorders might result in the whole of the Lebanon rising in revolt Today had been fore told as the date of a rising against the foreigners and many residents of Con- stantinople are keeping to their houses. Personally I doubt whether there will be anything more than dynamite outrages, which are pretty sure to be attempted before long,"
 NI,a yxT1bu at St. Petersburg says he is assured on ex- cellent authority that Russia, when she submits proposals to the Porte for the pacification of Macedonia, contemplates the despatch of her Black Sea squadron to Turkish waters where it will make a much longer stay than recently in order to overcome the Sultan's objections to her recommendations.
 The Sofia correspondent of The Morning Leader says by the end of the week the insurgents will have received a large &C., cession of weapons. Thirty thousand rifles are being smuggled In to them from all sides and when these have been received the real fighting will begin.
 A Monastir dispatch to The Daily Mail dated September says the great military drive in the mountains to the southwest of Monastir towards Lake Prespa, by a force of 5000 Turkish infantry with twelve guns, resulted in the escape of all the revolutionary bands. Though they were practically surrounded no one was captured
 The correspondent continues: '~Vice- Consul McGregor tells me that the Porte has informed Palimi Pasha that it has received a threat from the Macedonian committee that the insurgents intend to murder British consul, journalist or an American missionary. Vice-Consul Mo- kIA t5E .lk that he will hold them responsible for any murder by either the Turks or the Bulgarians. In my opinion this is noth- ing but a gentle hint to the British Journalists who are exposing the mas sacres."

The Empress and Princess Victoria Louise followed the op- erations In four-horse carriage. The Empress was in the field before o'clock this morning. The 12.O00 horses led by the Emperor kicked up an immense amount of dust on the dry fields over which they passed, which betrayed the movements of the cavalry.
 The Saxons, who were entrenched and who have cleverly posted their artillery. led the attack with the fire of all ths machine and other quick-fire guns in a way in which real war would have quick ly decimated the Emperor's force But the Emperor galloped on in a whirlwind of dust penetrated the Saxon line and the Emperor decided that the Saxons were defeated and caused them to retreat across the Saale.

FORTUNE DEPENDS ON DATE.
Estates of the Beckwiths Are in
 Controversy.


 New York. Sept. S-The disposition of an estate involving a large fortune de- bends upon the date of death of Arthur Beckwfth. an artist who belonged to a prominent family of this city. He dis appeared from the Sanford hall asylum at Flushing, l.. l.. in 1894. and never has been heard of since.
 Owing to complications between the heirs and the State on the question of the amount of transfer tax, counsel has instituted proceedings in the Surrogate's court to have the date of death settled.
 The controversy also involves the es- tate of Leonard Forbes Beckwith, his brother. at one time chief engineer of the subway commission. Both men were declared to be incompetent to handle large property interests. Each inherited estates of about half a million dollars from their father. Leonard died intestate in 1895.
 According to the. petition of the admin istrators of the estate or Arthur Beck with, he in 1890 escaped from an asy- lum at Litchfield, Conn.,. and was two years later discovered in Havana, Cuba, living in squalor. He was in 1893 placed in the Sanford hall asylum at Flushing, pending proceedings begun in January, 1894, to have him adjudged incompetent. He again escaped. In January, 1902. he was declared legally dead. It is now sought to have his death placed before that of Leonard, in which case the lat ter's heirs will get most of both for tunes.

village of Stoilovo, near Malketernovo. Thirteen thousand Turkish soldiers are assembled on the frontier at Palanka Kratovo and Gotschani, and are plumber ing the surrounding villages. The peo- pie have net complained, fearing that they may be murdered. In the district of Debritsi. vilayet of Monastir, the soldiers are reported to be naked and starving and to be robbing all around.
 The general stan of insurgents has is- sued circular ordering bands not to molest the peaceful Turkish and Albanian villages. The order concludes:
 There will always be plenty of time to take such measures."
 Famine prevails in the district of Krus- the adjacent districts.
 All reports from the vilayet of Mon- astir agree in describing the situation as appalling. The refugees in the mountains and forests are dying of starvation by the thousands. At present it is impossi- ble to obtain precise figures. The revo- lutionary headquarters estimates that 3o.- 900 Bulgarian men, women and children have been killed, while at least the same number of refugees are slowly iserishing of hunger. In official circles these figures are regarded as an under estimate and officials incline to the belief that the num- Der of the massacred exceeds 5000.
 The Turks are apparently determined to sxterminate the entire Bulgarian popula- ton of the vilayet. The actual details of the happenings outside the town are not available. The foreign representative at Monastir are dependent on tnfornation furnished to them from Turkish official sources.
 In government circles here the situa- ton is viewed with increasing alarm. It is reliably reported that the Turkish forces in Macedonia number 300000. It is considered impossible that such force has been assembled merely to crush the rebellion. It Is feared that the Sultan ts meditating an attack on Bulgaria. According to a telegram from Constan- ditional order that all European, corre- spondents must leave Macedonia because they are circulating false news. The Ambassadors have been notified Of this decision.
 The latest reports regarding Boris Sar- afoff. the Macedonian leader. says he was wounded in the leg near Dai Rene.
 Private letters received from European residents at Monastir give narrowing de- tails of the situation at that vflayet. Six ty families recently arrived here from Smilleco, which was totally destroyed. The refugees saw a husband and wife sitting in the ruins of their home when a Turkish soldier sIashed off the mans head and threw it in the woman's lap. The soldiers found a servant girl and sew eral children hiding in ditch. They out ragged the girl and slaughtered all the children.

fees and institutions was generally praised. The affairs of the county treasurer were found to be in good con- dition but it had been found that there was a need of more room and that the office ought to be more direct ly under the protection of the sheriff s office. It was suggested that an alarm button should be placod within the vault and that in the extension of the office the idea of securing greater pro- lection should be kept in mind.
 The office of the district attorney was especially praised. Attention was called to the fact that at the last term of court there were twenty indict- ments, out of which nineteen convic- tions had been secured. That office it was shown had acted with great energy in the present term and had en- abled the grand jury to accomplish all the work before it in two days. Assistant District Attorney Bullard came in for a liberal share of the jury's compliments.
 The business of the office of probate judge was found to be we'll kept up, as was also that of the office of the assessor. It was mentioned that the wealth of the county had grown to such an extent that more help than formerly was needed in that office Considerable space was devoted to the office of the recorder which it was shown was contributing about S40O month above it's expenses to the county treasurer.
 i The county hospital was found to be well conducted and the superin- tendent of county instruction was dis playing zeal in the management of h1s 1 affairs The supervisors had been managing the affairs of the county in
 wise and economical manner. There was one recommendation
 which will meet with general response and that was that the unsightly fence 1 in front of the court house should
 come down and be replaced by a more
 up-to-date and ornamental one.

 "Once we were engaged to play at funeral Our notice was very short, So we had no rehearsal We reached the cemetery without any rlishap, but there something happened. We were to play a solemn measure while the body was being lowered into the grave. Only a few instruments were needed I was slowly and solemnly swinging my baton. the spectators were silently weeping. when suddenly the trombone gove a Ioud long blast enough to wake the dead.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT
The Final One Dealing With Affairs
 of the County.

The grand jury yesterday submitted its final report and was discharged. It began with a recapitulation oi the re- ports previously made relating to the investigation of cases by which it had been shown that fifteen true bills had been found; that five cases were ignored and dismissed and that one secret indictment had been returned. Several smaller matters had been pre- sented for the consideration of the grand jury, but they were in a gen. orally incomplete state and were there fore passed over.
 The usual committees had been ap- pointed for the investigation Of the county offices. The conduct of pubic affairs had been found to be econom- ical and the jury was gratified to hAd that there was a decrease in the per cent of felonies and crimes. It was mentioned that the discovery had been made that in one of the offices of jus tice of the peace of this precinct the expense of conducting business seemed to be disproportionate to the amount of good accomplished. It was believed that many of the cases which pass through the justices offices should be referred to the city recorder
 It was recommended that the sheriff revoke all the appointments of depu- ties among the police officers except two to be determined by the sheriff and the city marshal.
