Rome. April 19-The International Agricultural
Congress was opened at the Capitol to-day before
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena. About
thirteen hundred delegates were present. The
American representatives. DR.. Daniel L. Salmon.
chief OF the United States Bureau Of Animal

speech, criticised the ultra proteCtiontsm Of

that their attitude would change with the increase
OF their populations to the average OF those OF
European countries
Count Schwerin Loewitz. a leading member
OF the Rechstag and president of the German
Agricultural Council. arrived here to-day II has
been stated that he will present a proposition to
the Agricultural Congress for q European agri-

Tskub. Macedonia, via London April 13-Con-
sular control is not practised in Macedonia The
con5uIs themselves may fully understand
what Is going on, as the Turkish officials are
acting with characteristic subtlety. These Off
cials are Withholding all information Of an un-
favorable nature from the consuls When what
has been carefully concealed is brought to the
attention Of the consuls the Turkish officials
either minimize the Importance Of the incident
or deny the accuracy of the information. Few
bulgarian villagers venture to enter Uskub or
any other large town in Macedonia where there
is a foreign consul and make complaints They
are not allowed to leave their own villages and
farms, as I have discovered in travelling on
horseback through the country Even Hilma
Pacha, the new Turkish inspector General is
CO intent with repeating to the consuls the YER
sions Of troublesome affairs received from the
Governors, or with telling them what they al
ready know. His account Of the fight at
Grabintza stated that three Turks We're killed
by the explosion of a bomb or a volIey from
the insurgents, and refrained from mentioning g
other losses, when over hundred soldiers were
Killed, and, according to Bulgarian accounts
over two hundred He gave the consuls
no information respecting the atrocities COM
mitted there by both bashi- -bazouks and reg
ular troops. He told that the Bulgarians
had set fire to their own houses, whereas q SOL
oler whom he sent with me escort ad-
mitted having helped to burn the village.
The truth respecting the reforms and the con-
dition Of the country cannot be learned, either
from the Turkish officials, who conceal it, or
from the consuls who do not have accurate
information, during the reign OF terror prevail
ing at Monastlr and in other districts. The
leaders of the Bulgarian bands and the Turkish
lutionists demand from the shepherd the price
Of one-twentieth Of his flock of sheep; the tax
collectors levy is for one-tenth of the sheep and
one-half Of the rice raised. Bulgarians who
fuse to enlist with the insurgents are shot down
and the tax collectors are picked off by as
sassination unless they make their rounds under
escort Of several hundred soldiers. 4 col
lector with a file of ten soldiers went down un-
der a single voley near Prelip as they ap-
preached a farmhouse where a band Of Bull
garians was concealed. storekeeper at
Moaastir being required to pay for arms
co-ding to his means, offered E, when 80
was asked and was warned by a second Bull
garian emissary that the store would be burned
to obtain the assistance of three Turkish SOL
diars. but shot before their arrival, the
Bulgarian emissary being assisted in escaping
by half d dozen confederates near by.
Incidents like these might be multiplied.
Macedonia is the scene Of organized pillage and
assassination, with Bulgarians and Albanians
conducting counter movements against the Sui
taus reforms.

LABOR TROUBLES
MUCH EXAGGERATED
Gompers Says Building Strike Situa-
ton Is Not Bad.

President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, interviewed on the
building strikes situation, says:
Reports on the subject are much ex-
aggerated," he said There is moth
ing serious TO fear. and nothing Sc
rious will result. There are some dis
putes in the building line A good many
men are out. perhaps thirty thousand
all told But these disputes are of To-
cal character, and extravagant reports
concerning them are given out by the
employers. The fact is that since some
employers associations have organized.
they want to antagonize and crush the
unions, and as a result. every defensive
labor movement is heralded IN extrava-
CANT terms.
Much is made of lockouts and strikes
in the public press, while but little
attention is paid to settlements quietly
made. and to victories achieved by or
ganized labor Thus, there was much
said about the carpenters strike in
Philadelphia. and but little of the set

held there like a fly in a spiders web,
John Cowlish. twelve years old. suffered
q terrible death yesterday while hun
dreds of spectators, helpless to save

OF lad burning to death in midair.
Cowlish lost his life Indirectly as the
result of a craving for cigarette smok-

aged the indulgence. anG John. accom-
panied by Albert Trombley. a boon COM

to enjoy clandestine smoke. Arrived
AZ the bridge they climbed one OF the
high abutments and there, well out of
sight and swinging their legs out into
space. they ensconced themselves high
up on an iron truss, where they sat and
nghted their cigarettes.
Stolen fruits taste sweet. and so did
the cigarette fumes at first. but after a
time the nicotine combined perhaps
With the effects Of the lofty altitude of
their perch, caused young Cowlish to
ecome dizzy sensation of nausea
overcome him, and before his comrade
could come to his assistance he reeled
pitched forward. grasped at the truss,
missed it, and then fell headlong with
ole despairing cry.
