PRINCE FERDINAND
 LEAVES BULGARIA.
HUNDRED THAT A REVOLUTION HAS BROKEN OUT AND THAT PRINCE HAS FLED TO BEL GRADE-REPoRT DENIED.

Belgrade, July 24.-Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, accompanied by his children, passed through this city at o'clock this morning on his way to Vienna.
 A dispatch last night from Vienna said that rumors were in circulation in Bel grade to the effect that revolution had broken out in Bulgaria and that Prince Ferdinand on the advice of his ministry had fled to Belgrade.
 Denied at Vienna.
 Vienna, July 24.-The reports that a revolution has broken out in Bulgaria and that Prince Ferdinand has fled are semi officially characterized here as un- founded It is explained that July 26 Is the anniversary of the death of Prince Ferdinand's father and that the imme- dlate object of his present journey Is to visit his gvae at Coburg, which Is Prince Ferdinand's usual custom.
 So far as 1t can be ascertained here the report of Prince Ferdinand's flight from Bulgaria is unfounded, and the reason given here semi-officially for his jour ney, Is correct. The Bulgarian agent in Vienna said to the correspondent of the Associated Press this afternoon
 "The story published by the stampa and other Belgrade papers Chat a revolu- tion has broken out in Bulgaria, that Prince Ferdinand is about to flee, or had fled to Belgrade, and that there have been fifty-four night assasslnations, most ly of soldiers on duty at Prince Ferdi- nand's palace at Sofa), is a malevolent political trick designed to compromise Bulgaria and her prince and to divert public attention from the present con- dtions in Servia.
 Rumor Is Believed.
 Berlin, July 4.-Notwithstanding the semi official denial that Prince Ferdi- nand's departure from servia amounts to flight the Vossische Zeitung which re- ceives well-authenticated private infor- nation from Bulgaria. says that 1t be- lieves the rumors of the prince's flight have some basis. and regards 1t as prob able that he has left the country until the existing excitement subsidies.

self Through Heart.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 29.-George
Worthington Garwood, a wealthy coal
broker, aged 65 years, to-day shot and
killed Hilda Vogel, aged about %, and
then killed himself in a room occupied
by the couple at 131 Moultrie street.
Jealousy was the cause of the deed.
Garwood has a wife and nine chill
dren.
About two years ago, 1t is said, Gar
wood became infatuated with Hilda
Vogel, who was a waitress in the res
taurant where Garwood took his meals.
Since then the couple have been on
more or less intimate terms, the man
frequently showing his jealousy over
attentions shown the girl by other men.
Last night Garwood took the Vogel
woman and several of her friends to
one of the local theaters occupying
one of the boxes. Before the perform
ance was finished Garwood left the
house in an agry mood ana did not re-
turn.
The woman was found lying in bed
under the covering, with a bullet hole
in her temple, and Garwood was lying
outside of the bed clothes with bull
let in his heart. No person in the house
heard the shots, and it is not known
when the double killing took place.
Evidently the woman was asleep
when shot, and apparently never NOV
ed after the bullet entered her brain.
On the dresser was found note writ
ten by Garwood, giving the names and
addresses of both, and saying Love
was the cause"
Members of the girls family believe
that jealousy of an old friend Of Hilda S
prompted the act. When murdered the
girl wore a locket around her neck,
with the initials c. N. engraved on it.

state Troops to Join in Mimic War
Maneuvers.
Camp Young, West Point, KY, Sept.
29.-The preparation of an outpost, a
proceeding not involving any contact
between opposing forces, composed the
second days work done by the regu-
lar troops now in camp, pending the
arrival of the state guards for the
combined maneuvers.
Viewed from the standpoint of the
spectator, to-day's maneuvers seemed
tame, but it was nevertheless impor-
tant, as it formed the connecting link
between the clash of the blue and
brown advance guards yesterday, and
the attack and defense OF the outpost
which comes tomorrow.
The three movements form collective
ly the whole problem given the regulars
for their unaided solution. On Thurs
day the state troops will begin to ar
rive and thereafter the regulars will

maneuvers.
Yesterday the advance guard of the
blue army attempted to clear the way
for its main body by breaking up the
rear guard of the retreating brown
army. so as to force the browns into a
gun engagement.
To-day all the soldiers sent out were
used in establishing blue outpost,
the brown army being represented only
in imagination, and not being near
enough to impede the proceedings.

Dearth of Statesmen.

London, Sept. SO.-A prolongation OF
the ministerial crisis seems Is,.eIy
Judging from newspaper commentS to
still further discredit the government.
The apparent waiting for Lord Mil
ner's decision was commented on in
Conservative as well as Liberal papers
as emphasizing the dearth of frst-class
statesmen in the Conservative ranks.
A large section Of the Union party
Is resting under the report that Mr..
Balfour is supporting Mr.. Brodrick in
the latter's determinati ton to remain at
the War Office.
Lord Miners reluctance to accept Of
fee is attributed, among other rea-
sons to hesitancy to commit himself as
a party man. II IL said that he de-
sires to hold himself aloof from party
politics. Another point made by the
Liberal papers Is the absence OF re-
sponsible Chancellor of the Exchequer
at the moment that the country is ex-
periencing a serious financial crisis,
needing the presence of a strong finance
minister.

MILLER WILL STAY

SESSION AT WHITE HOUSE
HELD BETWEEN ROOSEVELT AND
FINE UNION MEN.

President Says His Decision Not TO
Dismiss Miller Is FinaI-QuestiOn
of His Fitness Must He Settled in
Routine Of Administration-A
In Accordance of Law Which he
Has Sworn to Administer, Mr..
Roosevelt Says
Washington, Sept. 29.-An important
conference took place at the White
House tonight between President
Roosevelt and FIVE members of the exec
utive council of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, including President Com
pers and John Mitchell, head of the
miners union. during which the case
of Foreman w. A. Miller of the gov
eminent printing office was the princi-
pal topic of conversation The confer
ence was granted at the request of the
labor leaders.
The Miller case was very fully pre-
sented by the members of the executive
council, at the close of which the Presi-
dent made statement, in which he
announced that his decision not to dis
miss Miller was final, and that the
question of his personal fitness must be
settled in the regular routine of adj
mlnistration. The statement says:
LAS regards the Miller case, l have
little to add to what l have already
said. In dealing with it / ask you
to remember that l am dealing purely
with the relation of the government to
its employees. ! must govern my ac-
ton by the laws of the land, which r.
am sworn to administer and which diff
ferentiate any case in which the gov
eminent of the United States is a par
ty from all other cases whatsoever
These laws are enacted for the BEN
eft of the whole people and cannot
and must not be construed as permit
ting discrimination against some of
the people. am President of all the
people of the United States. without
regard to creed, color, birthplace, oc-
cupation or social condition. My aim
is to do equal and exact justice as
among them all.
In the employment and dismissal
Of men in the government service
can no more recognize the fact that
man. does or does not belong to a union
as being for or against him than can
recognize the fact that he is
Protestant or a Catholic. a Jew or a
Gentle, as being for or against him.
4 I'm the communications sent me by
various labor organizations protesting
against the retention Of Miller in the
government printing office the grounds
alleged are twofold: One, that he is a
non-union man; second, that he is not
personally fit. The question OF his
personal fitness is one to be settled in
the routine of administrative detail,
and cannot be allowed to conflict with
or to complicate the larger question of
governmental discrimination for or
against him or any other man because
he is or is not member of a union.
This is the only question now be-
fore me for decision; and as to this my
decision is final"

COTTON STILL SCARS
SEPTEMBER OPTIONS YESTERDAY
TOUCHED 1905.
ADVANCE OF $3.50 A BALE.
SHORTS IN OTHER POSITIONS ARE
MUCH ALARMED.

York Spot Cotton Marked Up to
IL Cents.
New York, Sept. 29.-Violent as were
the advances in September cotton yes
terday they were surpassed this morn
ing when that option in the lochI
market was forced up by the urgency
of eleventh-hour shorts, and the ag-
gressive attitude of the New Orleans
bull leader.
Opening at 11.7Oc., last nights clos
ing, it sold at II cents on the call.
After that it advanced 10 to Is points

Pausing for moment it again moved
up, touching 13.OSc, compared with
11.12c., the closing price of last Satur-
day. This represents an advance of
1856 points for the two days, or about
$3.50 a bale.
The extent of the short interest that
has brought about the record break
ing movement can only be guessed at,
but it is not thought to have been very
extensive. Rumors have been circu-
lated, both to-day and yesterday, of
private settlements at the high prices
and most in the trade believe the fur
ry pretty well over.
The advance in September had nat
urally alarmed the shorts in the other
positions, but the advancing tendency
has been checked by the high move
ment and easier Southern spot markets,
and this morning months later than
September ruled more or less irregular,
but on the average little under last
nights closing.
The excitement attending the efforts
of the September shorts to even up
their commitments before noon to-mor-

CIRCUIT WILL ACCEPT
TAMMANY'S AID.
Plat Won't stand for Tigers In
dOrsement.

New York, Sept 29.-Edward M.
Grout, nominated for controller on the
fusion ticket with Mayor Low, an
accept a Tammany nomination for that
Office. He said he considered such a
step the strongest help he could give
to Mayor Low.
Mr.. Grout said that he would feel
free to accept a Democratic indorse-
ment, If 1t were made unqualified and
without any conditions. Mr.. Grout de-
clared himself in favor of Mr.. Lows
election and reiterated his former state
ment that the coming campaign will
not be conducted on national issues,
but on the record of the present mu-
nicipal administration.
The Evening Post to-day says: 1.-THE
Republican leaders appear to be unani-
nous In the opinion that Grout and
Forbes should retire from the fusion
ticket il they accept Tammany nomi-
nations, If they do not retire, they
will probably be asked to do so.
Senator Platt declared squarely to-
day that Grout and Forbes must re-
tire from the fusion ticket If they take
the Tammany nominations"
Charles f. Murphy's determination
to place both Grout and Fornes on
the Tammany ticket precipitated an
open revolt by the Kings county Dem
ocrats headed by Hugh Mclaughlin.
At the meeting of the city COM
mittee at the Democratic Club tonight
James Shevlin and Patrick A. MeCar-
ran, notified MIR. Murphy that If he
persisted in the nominations, the Kings
county Democracy would place IN nom
ination ticket headed by Louis Nix
on for Mayor. Mr.. Murphy declared
that Tamarany, being the majority
organization. would nominate McClel-
Ian, Grout and Forness.
William S. Devery to-day filed his
petition signed by 1000 names for
mayor as an Independent candidate.

Denver, Col, Sept. 29.-Former Unit
ed States Senator Edward o. Wolcott
won decisive victory to-day in the
contest before the. Republican State
Central Committee between the rival
factions in this city and afterward in
the state convention.
The committee, by vote of II to Is,

temporary roll call of the convention,
and the convention by a unanimous
vote made the temporary roll call per-
manent.

erence to the Committee on Resolutions.
Only one Office, that of justice of the
Supreme Court, is to be filed this year,
and for this, Chief Justice John Camp
