CALLED ON THE CARPET.
President Hryson Issues His Ultiinatum to
Saloon Keepers-!A Hot Roast and Due
Warming.

President isryson Issues His Ultimatum to
Saloon keepers-.A Hot Roast and Due
Warning.
The special council meeting last
Monday night proved to be very
warm number for the saloon keepers
who had been called on the carpet by
President Bryson. and Mr.. Bryson was
unquestionably ''loaded for bear" the
way he went after the saloon men pres
ent. The special meeting had been
called to act on the application of
Frank Morneau for a liquor license.
The only members of the council pres
ent were President Bryson, Recorder
Goulding and Trustee Galley. The
bond of Mr.. Morneau for $4,000 was
taken up and approved.
President Bryson remarked that the
saloon keepers were to be present at
$50, and he began to get a trihe i'm
patient, just as Magnus Sjoblom and
Paul Janikula walked in. Mr.. Nelson
arrived early and got in on the ground
floor. AS soon as Messrs. Sjoblom and
Janikula arrived Mr.. Bryson gave the
saloon keepersa most vigorous carpet
talk and roast and one that will be long
remembered by all who heard it. He
charged Janikula and Nelson with hav-
ing sold liquor over their saloons on
Sunday, and went after them without
gloves. During his talk Lessard and
Holm came in and he proceeded to ad-
dress his remarks to them, and i'm
pressed all with the fact that he had
ample evidence of gross violations of
the law on Sunday.
"Now 1 wish to give you all fair
warning. [ know what I am talking
about. I have been giving you rope
enough. I propose to have you live up
to the State law which is a higher law
than any village law, and if I catch
any of you selling any more liquor on
Sundays, and unless you keep all screens
and curtains pulled aside so as to give
clear view of the saloons from II
O'Clock Saturday night to a. m. Mon
day morning shall cancel your licenses.

| comfort and even then it was raining.
l might have run a few weeks longer
and taken my chances with the wealth
er, but the council has seen tit to tax
me with many items that are unwar-
| ranted, and as a result my appropria-
ton is exhausted.
First it was the new approach,
which properly belongs to the park
board. 1t had no money and when I
asked for sufficient from the general
fund it was refused and the bath
money had to suffer. To keep the rail-
| roads and the land grabbers away I
had to fix it at once. Next it was the
lights. Last year the island was light
ed from the lighting fund. Now my
fund has to foot the bill. AS a result
my appropriation is gone and the pa
irons are the losers.
Probably it is not known, but every
morning the baths turned over to the
city treasurer every cent realized in
the shape of receipts. That includes
the principal invested, so you see
practically return what the council
gave me. The park board keeps its
receipts. Nothing is ever returned of
the appropriation it receives. In any
event, l am satisfied with the showing,
considering the weather. The island is
becoming a popular resort, and, what
is more, it is enjoyed by the plain peo-
ple'
Health Commissioner Ohage, it is un-
derstood, will ask the conference COM
mittee for $25;000 when the next bud
get is made up. He wants to use the
sand pump in filling up the swampy
parts of the island and also to provide
more Sommodious quarters for his
growing "zoo.' When the swampy por-
ton is reclaimed the area of the island
will be considerably enlarged.

WHOLESALE BUTCHERIES.
Thirty Thousand People Killed and as
Many More Starving.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. S.-The Ma
cedonian interior organization esti-
mates that 10000 women, children and
old men are hiding in the mountains
and forests of Macedonia. The Turks
are burning the forests in the districts
OF Leren and Kostur and killing fugi-
tiveS who attempt to escape to the
plains. The Vlach village of Gopesh,
three hours distant from Monastir, has
been burned by the Turks, who are re-
ported to have thrown several of the
inhabitants into the fire. The Bashi
Bazouks have destroyed the village of
Stoilovo, near Malketernovo.
Thirteen thousand Turkish soldiers
are assembled on the frontier at Palan-
ka, Kratovo and Gotschani, and are
plundering the surrounding villages.
In the district of Debritsi, vilayet of
Monastir, the soldiers are reported to
be naked and starving and to be rob
bling all around
The general staff of the insurgents
has issued a circular ordering the
bands not to modest the peaceful Turk
1sh and Albanian villages The order
concludes: There will always be plen-
ty of time to take such measures"
Famine prevails in the district of
Krushevo, and the population is going
into the adjacent districts.
All reports from the vilayet of Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and So
600 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed
to have been massacred by the Turks,
and every Bulgarian village in the
vilayet has been destroyed. The refu-
gees in the mountains and forests are
dying of starvation by thousands. At
present it is impossible to obtain pre-
else figures. The revolutionary head
quarters estimate that 10000 Bulgarian
men, women and children have been
killed, while at least the same number
Of refugees are slowly perishing of
munger. In official circles these figures
are regarded as an underestimate, and
officials incline to the belief that the
number of the massacred exceeds 5O,-
600. The Turks are apparently deter
mined to exterminate the entire Bull
garian population of the vilayet
1t is reliably reported that the Turk
ish forces in Macedonia number 3OO,-
600. 1t is considered impossible that
such a force has been assembled mere
ly to crush the rebellion. 1t is feared
that the sultan is meditating an at
tack on Bulgaria.
According to a telegram from Con-
stantinople, the Porte has issued an
unconditional order that all European
correspondents must leave Macedo-
MIA because they are circulating false
news.
The latest reports regarding Boris
Sarafoff, the Macedonian leader, say
he was wounded in the leg near Dali
rene.

ALDERMEN DISAGREE
WITH THE ASSEMBLY
Some Contend That Street Car
Company Need Not Remove
Dirt From Its Tracks.

Last March the assembly approved a
resolution calling upon the city engi-
neer to enforce the clause of the
street car companys franchise requiring
it to keep the space between and for a
distance of two feet outside its tracks,
clean.
After quietly slumbering in the COM
mittee on streets of the board of al
dermen the resolution was referred to
City Engineer Rundlett yesterday, and
now he says he does not know what to
do with it. The committee decided
that it was not for the board of al
dermen to consider and passed it up to
Mr.. Rundlett to do with as he saw
fit.
"Of course, If the street car company
was compelled to keep the space con-
trolled by it clean, it would mean a
big saving to the taxpayer, but 1 do
not know of any law demanding it, ;
said City Engineer Rundlett yesterday.
"On streets like Selby avenue and
Wabasha," continued Mr.. Rundlett, st
would mean the saving of almost one
half of the present cost of sweeping
those thoroughfares, but do not know
that 1 am vested with the authority
to compel it. This resolution was new
er passed by the board, and besides it
comes to me without any notation, or
any information whatever, for that
matter"
The section of the street car COM
pany's franchise which the assembly
referred to in the resolution passed by
it was the following:
Sec. 8. The st. Paul City Railway
company shall at all times keep so
much of the streets occupied by said
lines of railway as may lie between the
rails of each track and between the
lines of double track and for a space of
two feet outside the track or tracks
cleaned and in good repair"
The city spends annually nearly $40,-
600 for the cleaning and sweeping of
its paved streets and the members of
the assembly who fathered the resolu-
ton contend that if the street car COM
pany was made to pay it share of the
cost nearly $4,000 would be annually
saved to the taxpayers.
A former legal department gave it as
its opinion that the cleaning of the
space covered by the street car tracks
by the street car company could be
compelled Some of the members of
the board of aldermen, however, dissent
contending the cleaning section of the
ordinance refers solely to the removal
of snow

"MAkES A SOLITUDE
AND CALLS 1T PEACE"
Continued From First Page.

Morning Leader says by the end of the
week the insurgents will have received
a large accession of weapons. Thirty
thousand rifles are being smuggled in
to them from all sides, and when these
nave been received the real fighting
will begin.
Monastir dispatch to the Daily
Mail. dated Sept. 6, says the great mil
1tary drive in the mountains to the
southeast of Monastir, toward Lake
Prespa by force of 5000 Turkish in
fantry, with twelve guns, resulted in
the escape of call the revolutionary
bands. Though the latter were prac-
tically surrounded, not one was cap
tured.
The correspondent continues: "Vice
Consul McGregor tells me that the
Porte has Informed EHlmi Pasha that
1t has received a threat from the Mace
DOMAIN committee that the insurgents
intend to murder a British consul or
journalist or an American missionary.
Vice Consul McGregor notified the
Turkish authorities that he will hold
them responsible for any murder by
either the Turks or the Bulgarians. In
my opinion this is nothing but a gen
tie hint to the British journalists, who
are exposing the massacres.''
A Sofia dispatch to the Daily Mail,
dated Sept. 8, says that the revolution
airy committee tomorrow will issue to
the representatives of the powers a
circular note, forewarning them of
coming events. The note is intended to
justify the future actions of the insur-
gents and will point to the probable
total determination of the Christians
as necessitating the employment of the
same atrocious measures by the revo-
lutionaries against the Turks, and will
contend that the responsibility for such
desperate acts will rest with the pow
ers.

ST. PAUL TO HAVE A
MONUMENT AT LAST
Acker Post viii Erect One in
Memory of First Member
of First Minnesota.

st: Paul will witness the unwilling of
its first monument Nov. 1 if the pres
ent plans of Acker post and number
of patriotic citizens materialize.
On that date a marble shaft fifty
two feet high, and surmounted by a
heroic statue of Josiah r. King, the
first man to enlist in the First Mime
memory of the gallant Minnesota boys
who fought in the Civil war.
The shaft and statue, which will
rest on a base of granite twelve feet
square, will be located in the TRAN
gular park at the intersection of Sum
NIT avenue and West Third street.
Permission to use the park was secur-
ed from the board of park commission
ers yesterday by Ex-City Comptroller
McCardy, who informed the members
that on its completion the monument
would be turned over to the city as it's
property.
The shaft will be of Vermont mar
bic and is now being shaped in one of
the quarries of that state. The statue,
including four tablets which will con-
tain suitable inscriptions, will be of
bronze. The entire cost is placed at
$4,000.
The monument is really the out
growth of movement begun shortly
after the annual reunion of the Ma
tional G. A. r. in ST. Paul in 1896,
which has been kept alive ever since
by Capt McCardy and others of Acker
post.
OF the $4,000 necessary for the com
pletfon over $1,000 is in the hands of
the building committee, and the re-
mainder, it is expected, will be collect
ed shortly. No subscription for less
than 500 has been taken. Nov. 1 has
been decided upon as the date for the
dedication, but the progress of the
monument will really determine the

HE HAS DONE NO WRONG
All the Federal Officials in Indian Ter

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.-The
department Of justice has received
from Pliny Soper, United States at
torney for the northern district of In
dian territory, an answer to the ale
cations which have been made against
him to the effect that he has been in
terested in leasing and releasing IN
dian lands, etc. Mr.. Soper admits that
he is connected with one company, the
Tribal Development company, of fish
omingo, but says that 1t is not in his

that is unlawful or reprehensible.
The department has ordered still an
