THEY ACT LIKE FIENDS
Turks Run From Street to Street
SIaughtering All Whom
They Meet.

Sofia, Aug. 2O.-The Greek patriarch
asked the Bulgarian exarch to address a
circular note to the Bulgarian ministers
and school teachers in Macedonia urging
them to remain quiet and not to fight
against the sultan.
The exarch replied that he was sorry
that he was not in a position to serve
the sultan. As ali the Bulgarian min
listers and teachers had been cast into
prison, and the churches and schools
We're closed. his voice could not be heard
there-only the sound of guns was aud
ible.
Fugitive families from Krushevo who
have arrived at MOnastir give terrible de-
tails of the situation which prevailed in
the town Of Kreshvo after its capture by
the Turks The latter, they say, acted
IKE f1ends, running from house to house
and street to street, Strengthening every
body they met. The town is now a heap
Of ruins.
The Sofia Post prints Il strong article
urging the Bulgarians to prepare for war
Immediately. as delay can benefit only
Turkey. Bulgaria has no need to fear
the great powers, says the paper. as it
would not be in their interest to allow
Roumania to interfere in the conflict.
the cnlet endeavor of the powers would
be to localize the war.
A dispatch from Burgas to the Auton-
Omye says the town of VasilikO thirty
miles south of Burgas. and the villages
of Urunkoi and Poturnakovo are in
flames. and the sound of cannon can
plainly be heard from the Bulgarian
frontier.

TREATY UP IN THE AIR
State Department Trying to Get
Definite News From Capt.
tai of Colombia.

Washington. Aug. 20.-Minister .Beaupre,
a BOgOta has been asked by the state
department to send more definite infOr-
nation concerning proceedings about the
isthmian canal treaty but there is no
way of telling how long the message will
be delayed, owing to the interruption of
telegraphic communication between Bue-
ma Ventura and BOgOta. The fact that
two messages of the same date reached
the department with an interval Of four
days between them shows how irregular
this mode of communication has become.
The trouble seems TO be with the land
lines. and it is understood that heavy
tropical growth has interfered with the
wires. The only dispatch received today
from Minister Beaupre was dated the 18th
and was very Indefinite. although IL con-
veys the impression that further efforts
are being made to secure favorable ac-
ton upon the treaty.
The Costa Rican minister called upon
Acting Secretary Adee TODAY, but il was
stated that his visit was one of courtesy
and had no reference to the isthman
canal.

GENERAL JOHN c. BLACK.

Barnes, acting secretary to the president,
and is as follows:
Policy Defined.
My Dear Sir-The president directs me
70 send 70 you herewith for your infOrma-
ton copies of two letters sent TO Secretary
CortelyOu with reference to the govern
ment printing office, which define the
attitude Of the administration in connec-
ton with the subject discussed. They
ance, as they indicate the policy of the
president in this matter
The letters 20 Secretary COrtelyou were
written on July Il and "A. The salient
sentence Of the first letter was:
There is no objection to the employees
Of the government printing office consti-
tuting themselves into a union if they
so desire. but no rules or resolutions of
that union can be permitted to override
the laws Of the United States. which il
is my sworn duty to enforce"
No Discrimination.
In the letter of the 18th the president
quoted the finding of the anthracite strike
commission regarding the employment of
labor as follows:
1T is adjudged and awarded that no
person shall be refused employment or IN
any way Disseminated against on account
of membership or non membership in any
no discrimination or interference with any
employee who is not member of of any
labor organization by members Of such
orgauiza ton.
Concerning this principle the president
wrote:
1T is. Of course. more elementary de-
Cency to require that all government de
partmeuts shall be handled in accordance
with the principles thus clearly and fear
lessly enunCiated.'

PROFESSOR LOEB HAS
SOLVED A PROBLEM

San Francisco. Aug. 2o-Announcement
is made that Professor JaQues Loeb, in "a
series of experiments he has just com
pletCd at the University of California,
succeeded in demonstrating that the eggs
OF animals containing both sexes can BE-
fertilized and developed into animals
through physical and chemical agencies.
technically artificial parthenogenesis.
From these experiments DR.. Loeb makes
the deduction that il science ever ac-
quires positive evidence making for the
solution Of the secret of abiOgenesiS. that
is. the fertilization of the eggs of animals
where the sexes are separate. il will be
through artificial parthenOgenesis.
This latest discovery Of DR. LOeb's is in
direct sequence i'm a line Of investigation
already carried to satisfactory cOnclUs-
ions in the case OF eChinOderms and anne
lids. By the manipulation of sea water
through various chemicals he produced a
solution into which the eggs OF these ami
mails were placed Then. without the IN
prevention of any male principles. these
eggs proceeded 10 develop in the same
fashion as If they had been fortified.
