sent to the president petition to be
forwarded to the emperor of Russia

elected to affix any signatures to the

lords Friday Foreign Minister Lans-
downe announced that the British
minister to Servia had been in
structed to withdraw from Belgrade
for some time, on the arrival there
of King Peter, and in the meanwhile
to do nothing which could be con-
strued as a recognition of the new
government. Lord Lansdowne ex-
pressed indignation at the crimes at
Belgrade, and said he thought it was
not desirab bic that Sir George Bon
ham, the British minister, should be
in that city when the new regime was
inaugurated.
The foreign minister added that no
proposal had been received for con-
certed action towards Servia by the
powers, but the British government
had no intention of maintaining or
binary relations with the persons
concerned in the massacre.

meet King Peter started Friday

formed the minister of foreign affairs
that he will enter into relations with
the Servian government Friday, as
the car had been pleased to recog-
nize Prince Karageorgevitch as king
of Servia.''
Vienna, June 2O.-The press CORE
spondent interviewed the members of
the Servian deputation. All protested
that it was impossible to accede to the
Russian demands, declaring that any
attempt to punish the guilty officers
would plunge Servia into new trouble.

'scame easy" that is not true. He
worked for it as hard as any other day
laborer-for that is how he started
and he figured as closelyt to accumulate
his pile as the thriftiest storekeeper
who ever sold supplies to the miners.
He labored along with grim determina-
ton for years before the luck came,
and he earned every cent he owns. Now
that he has his millions he means to
en- 10y them in his own way and there
are plenty of people with higher fam
lily connections and lower bank ac-
counts who are quite willing that he
should.
1t is only three or four years since
he first came to Washington, and in
that time he has managed through
sheer good nature to win his way into
the very best circle, so that now the
Washes can have the pick of anything
that is going socially. He shows good
business sense also by investing heavily
in Washington real estate. Heis build
ing a business skyscraper and is at
work on the plans for great hotel, be-
sides the fine house which has risen
out on Massachusett avenue.
But with all his interests, he is never
too busy to administer an Irish "jolly"
to posing friend The story is that
Walsh's first big find, 'The Last
Chance" came to him through dream
that he dreamt one night of striking
gold in a certain spot-andnext day he
went there and struck it. Walsh denies
this.

WAR IN BALKANS.

The Albanian and Turkish troops col
lected in the vilayet of Adrianople ap-
pear to be pursuing their usual tactics of
burning and plundering the villages and
killing the peasants instead of making
an attempt to break up the insurgent
bands. Very little news is filtering
through from Monastir, but all reports
agree that the position of the Christians
is desperate. rhe Turks are making a
clean sweep Of the whole Bulgarian ele-
ment.
The Albanian soldiers in the vilayet OF
Adrianople are stated to be entirely be-
yond control. At Kostursco the in
fuential beys complained to the officers
of the excuses committed by the troops.
The officers resented the criticism and
told the soldiers that the beys were
friends of the revolutiOnaries, whereupon
the soldiers burned the beys' farms. The
Turks have burned the villages Of Al
magik and Erikler, in the district Of
Losengrad.
They beheaded % Bulgarians at Al
magik in the presence of their families.
Twelve thousand troops are assembled
around Malkotonovo and are engaged in
pillaging and burning the villages. The
population everywhere is fleeing to the
forests and mountains. All the Turkish
population in the district of Losengrad
has received arms. Even the boys have
revolvers.
The Albanian soldiers proceeding
from Odrin to LOsengrad plundered the
villages en- route, robbed the churches
and burned the village Of Korakej.
Another body of Albanians going to
Vasiliko, or the Black Sea, was attacked
by band, and is reported to have suf-
fered loss of hundred men. a band
led by the insurgent chief Atamazoff'
was surrounded by Turkish troops at
Kokushko. After six hours fighting
the insurgents cut their way through the
soldiers by throwing bombs. The Turks
lost 90 men.
The final arrangements fog revolu-
tionary outbreak in eastern Macedonia
have been completed, but for some in
applicable reason the rising hangs fire.
Calm continues at Beirut, but trade is

fuse to return to Beirut, in spite of the
promise of the authorities TO protect
them.

D,ssention in Socialists Ranks.

Dresden, Germany, Sept. 14.-The
annual congress of the German social
democratic party was opened here this
morning under the presidency of Herr
Paul Singer, member of the Reichstag.
There are delegates present representing
local organizations all over Germany.
The executive committee presented its
report to the congress, showing that the
socialist cause has triumphed in Ger
many during the past year. AT the
general elections, held in June, the social
democrats polled one million more votes
throughout the country than any other
party. Although the party in Germany
has reached remarkable height of pros
perity. it was never so seriously in dan
ger of being weakened, if not entirely
disabled, by disunion as at the present
moment. During the last decade, there
have been two sections of the German
socialist party-the old gang, who are
irreconcilable extremists and revision
lists. The old gang still believe that
society in its present form will one day
come to an end with a sudden crash, and
that the ideal socialist state will rise
upon the ruins. The revisionists are
practical politicians ready to make deal
with any party that will further their
ends. There are many who believe that
matters will come to a head here at
Dresden. An American, Mr.. Wilsher,
brought the greeting of the socialists OF
the United States to the congress. He
said America was ripe for revolution.
