A British View.

The London Morning Post pub
fishes letter from its Constantine
pie correspondent in which he dis.
cusses the Beirut affair and the posi-
ton Of the American missionaries in
Asia Minor. He says:
Things have arrived at q crisis.
The United States must either insist
upon the porte listening to its repre-.
sensations regarding American con.
verts or drop the missionaries alto
yether. The latter course is natural.
~ impossible, and the sending Of a
squadron has great significance as
showing determination on the part
If America to take an active part in
he Turkish question. One result of
this step will probably be to induce
the sultan to raise his representative
ut Washington to the rank Of ambas.
sador so that the, United States can
be equally represented here. At pres.
ent America Is at decided dlsad.
vantage In this respect compared
with the other first-class powers. No
body can quite foresee the ultimate at
titude of the United States, but II Is
almost certain that her weight will
incline on the side of the Christian
against the Turk. At the same time
as matter Of importance to Great
Britain, America is almost bound to
oppose the descent of Russia on the
|Dardanelles. because In religious mat
ters the Turk is more tolerant than
tho Russian"

Three explosions occurred on the
Austrian steamer Vaskapu soon after

DESPERATE SHOT DEAD.
Mexicans Make Short Work of Noted
Border Bandit.


A special from Tucson. Arizona,
says troop of Mexican rurales dealt
out quick justice to Fernando Valen.
zuela, who was captured at Santa
Cruz, Sonora last Sunday afternoon.
Valenzuela was noted as the worst
desperate on the border.
Matches Roches, a Mexican trader
was murdered while travelling between
LocElel and Cananae about week age
and the rurales traced the crime to
Valenzuela. who had committed at
least five or six murders along the
line within the past few months. He
was traced by the rurales to a place
called Santa Cruz on the Mexican side,
not far from Nogales. Valenzuela was
discovered by the rurales concealed in
an adobe hut in Santa Cruz, in which
there were several women. This fact
prevented killing on the spot. as the
commander of the Mexican soldiers
had resolved to make short work OF
the outlaw when caught.
Accordingly, Valenzuela was plr.
posely allowed to escape, and when he
had run but a short distance was shot
dead, pierced by the bullets from four
rifles.

BULGARIA DEFINES POSITION.
VIII Not Declare War Unless Forces
by Turks to Fight.

ny TURKS 10 rIgnt.
According to reliable reports from
varna, at the recent council Of min.
sters, presided over ty Prince Ferdi-
nand at the palace of Euxinograd, 1t
was resolved that Bulgaria should
continue to maintain an attitude of
the strictest neutrality in the Mace
DOMAIN question. and further that the
most stringent measures should be
adopted to prevent anything likely to
cause disturbance in Bulgaria's rela-
tons with Turkey.
The war minister is reported to
have spoken strongly in the council
against any thought of Bulgaria de-
claring war on Turkey; first on ac-
count Of the enormous expenditure
that such a war would involve, and
secondly, because the great powers
would never permit Bulgaria to reap
the advantage IL she were victorious.
Should Turkey attack Bulgaria, de-
clared the minister, the present army
could hold the Turks in check for
the first few days, while the entire
Bulgarian army could be modified
within three to twelve days. Bull
garia would never declare war, he
added, but If war was declared
against her she would accept the chal.
lenge fearlessly.

COAL VEIN 40 FEET THICK.
Lucky Strike Made Eighteen Miles
From Evanston, Wyoming.

| According to n special from Evans
ton, Wyoming Joseph Acocks has
made public the story of probably the
greatest coal discovery ever made In
the western states. Mr.. Acocks says
that about eight years ago. while
| prospecting for quartz some eighteen
| miles northeast of Evanston, he
stuck his prospecting pick through
| thin stratum of sandstone, which
broke away, uncovering coal vein.
| There being no great market for coal
at that time, he covered up his pros
pect, awaiting an opportunc time to
open II up. This summer the Union
Pacific Coal company sent its pros
pectlng gang into the country with
diamond drill to locate II possible the
east dip OF the Cumberland and the
Spring Valley coal veins.
Mr.. Acocks watched their move
mepts closely until they were within
two miles OF his hidden treasure, and
then procured force of men and
commenced to open UP the vein. His
greatest expectations we're more than
realized, for vein was exposed for
ty feet In thickness and has already
been uncovered for a distance of
eight miles. with apparently no end.
Eight entries have been made into the
stratum. which dips On an angle Of Is
or 20 degrees. The coal is Of SUI
perior quality. being the true Cumber-
land stratum, which Is the Fox hill
formation unbroken and in place and
much cleaner than the original Cum
berland vein. A good water supply
and excellent railroad facilities are
close at hand. The land this coal was
discovered on is government property,
and Mr.. Acocks has applied for pat.
ent on all the surrounding country.
He will make no statement as to what
disposition he will make Of his great
discovery, beyond saying he has
been offered q good figure by three
prominent concerns.

and final race and the series for that
famous sea trophy. the Americas

tions of the assembled feet. The
Shamrock III. after running for more
than an hour in the fog. missed the
finish line. passed by 1t and returned
to 1t from the opposite direction. As
the Reliance was then being t. wed

Shamrock III did not cross the finish
line. AS often said of the historic
