TURKEYS PERIL.
Change in the Map Of Europe
Rapidly Approaching.
Gar Demands Punishment of All
Concerned in Consul's Murder.
Complications in Macedonia Grow
Worse-Situation Critical.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 10.-The Car
has demanded the exemplary punish
ment not only of the murderer of the
Russian consul at Monastir. (who was
killed, last week, by Turkish gem
darmes), but of all the military and
civil officials in any way responsible
for the crime.
The assassination of the Russian
consul at Monatir, NJ. Rostkovoski, lac
second murder of a Russian consular
official in Macedonia, within few
months, has created intense indigna-
ton. In reporting the occurrence to
the foreign Office the Russian ambas-
sador at Constantinople telegraphed,
Aug. s:
The Russian consul at MonaStir has
fallen the victim of an atrocious crime
The grand viZor and the Turkish for
eign minister have come to me with
expressions of regret in the name of
the Sultan. Ferid Pasha, the gram
viZier, informed me that the assassin
was gendarme, named Hahn, and
that he will be subjected to the sever
est punishment, and the vail of Monas-
tir will be relieved from his post"
In reply, Count Lamsdorff, the for
elSn minister, leleSrdpneu 10 tne am
bassador, Aug. 3:
His Majesty has received tele-
gram from the Sultan expressing his
deep regret at the death of the Rus
sian consul at Monastir. When l sub
mitted your telegram to the Emperor,
His Majesty gave orders that you
should not contine yourself to receiving
explanations from the grand vizier, but
should make the most energetic de-
niands on the Turkish government for
full satisfaction and immediate and
exemplary punishment both of the
murderer and of all the military and
civil officials on whom responsibility
for the audacious crime may fall"
According to the report made by the
official now in charge of the Russian
consulate at Monastir the murderer is
gendarme. The consul asked his
name. because in defiance of instruc-
tons. the gendarme did not salute him.
The gendarme thereupon fired several
shots which mortally wounded the
| consul in the head and hip. The horse
| drawing the carriage in which the
| consul was riding received two bullets
and shots were also fired at the coach
man.

San Francisco Aug. 10.-The latest

The Champion he said today, does
not intend to permit the bout to drag
along to an endless length. Jcffrics
will fight with such strength and
speed that he will early bring Corbctt

agility. When he once gets him there
the battle can be considered as over.

MACEDONIANS' APPEAL.
Declaration Made to the Representa-
tives of the Powers.

Sofia, Aug. 10.-The delegates here of
the Macedonian committee addressed tne
following appeal to each of the represent
Sofia
Your Exec lency:
"'rhc delegates of the Macedonian COM
mittec have the honor to bring TO your
notice the following declaration, with the
request that you communicate 1t to your
government:
The Musselmans systematic persecu-
tion has compelled the Christians in Mac
edonia and the vilayet of Adrianople to in
Stitute general rising. They have mad
recourse to this extreme measure after
e&hauStinG all pacific means to secure the
intervention of Europe to enforce the pro-
visions of the Berlin treaty. At the
present moment this intervention is the
only means of remedying the evil and
stopping blooGshed. The sporadic efforts
of the powers to secure reforms having
failed, they resulted merely in rccrudes-
cent of Turkish fanaticiSm and govern
mcnt oppression
1T is evident that reform measures to
be efiicacous must include the appoint
ment of a Christian encouragement OF
Macedonia-one who has never held office
under the Porte and who must be inde-
pendent of the Turkish government in the
exercise of his functions-the further APP

MINISTER'S CONFER
But That Doesn't Find EmbezzIer Allen
or Their Cash.

Boston, Aug. 10.-About 20 Methodist
ministers connected with the Preachers
Aid Society held a secret informal meet
ing at their rooms here, today. to con-
slider the situation confronting them ow-
ing to the defalcation of The treasurer
Willard S. Allen. Rev. Dr.. Baker pre-
sided.
Investigation of the case disclosed the
fact that for the past six or seven yeaIS
Mr.. Allen had borrowed $500 to $1,000 for
three days in March from eX-Aldcrman
Charles Witt of East Boston.
He has borrowed six large sums from
the East Boston-Co-operative Bank. This
has led to the belief that a sum aggregat-
ing about $1,000 was needed to cover up
Irregularities in accounts and satisfy the
auditor of The Preachers Aid Society. 1t
is believed, also. that if this was the case.
the man must have taken a large sum
of money with him when he left the city
4 week ago, and must have the securities
of the society as We'll
According to President Frank Wood Of
the Columbia Trust Co, Mr.. Allen. last
year, deposited $4,000 in cash in one lump
name. Last April, he deposited more than
$1,000 which remained on interest until
June l.
The Trust Co. protested all of Aliens
paper but it is all so strongly endorsed
that the company will not lose anything
unless possibly S1J00
The police are working hard upon the
case and have received word from Eng
land that every steamer arriving will be
carefully scrutiniZed by detectives.
Some doubt that Allen has the stolen Sc
curties with him has resulted from the
disclosure that, Aug. l, the day on which
Allen is believed to have left Boston, he
had recorded a mortgage for $1,000 on his
home in East Boston
Two attachments have been filed against
Allen by the Preachers Aid Society, uno
against Willard S. Allen for $4,000, and
the other is entered against Wizard >
Allen, treasurer. for $4,000. Both are re
turnable in the superior court

FOXY ALLEN.
He Loaded His Pockets With
Money Before Leaving.
Estimated That He Borrowed and
Stole at Least 100000.
Theory of Suicide Abandoned-But
Where Is Allen?

Boston. Aug. 10.-As a result of in
vcstigations, today. it has been found
that Willard S. Allen, the missing
treasurer of the Preachers Aid Society,
had borrowed money from every posi-
BILE source prior to his departure. From
information received from persons well
acquainted with the man, i is estimat-
ed that Allen had raised q sum, which
added to the $4,000 of his embezzle-
ment. will amount to between 100000
and &125,0G0. His property was mort
gagged to the fullest extent and even
the house where he lived in East Bos-
ton was placed as security for a loan of
$l2o0, the papers being recorded on the
day Of his departure. These discover
les in the minds of the police do away
with the theory that Allen contempla-
ted suicide.
