BRITISH CABINET CRISIS.
CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS OF YES
 TERDAY,S MEETING.

Belief That BaIfour Has Succeeded in Holding the Ninistry Together for Prosent-The FisoaI Question sheived Until Appeal Can be Made to the Country. . London, Sept. 15.--The ministers kept secret the discussions of yesterdays cabinet council 50 effectively that the speculation as to the results is almost
 nugatory and the government press or
 gans this morning offer the most con fiicting accounts of what took place at the meeting.
 The Daily Telegraph, which is proba-
 ply the best informed. asserts that the
 cabinet crisis was postponed until this
 evening and the discussion of the fiscal
 question will be continued at the re-
 stunned meeting to-day, but that what ever may be the upshot Premier Bat4 four will neither resign. dissolve par liainent nor summon an autumn ses- sion. The Daily Telegraph also scouts the idea of a royal commission being appointed to. consider the whole fiscal question.
 The Standard, on the other hand, as- serts equally positively that the fiscal inquiry was finished and that the ad- journed meeting will deal with the for eign policy. It understands that the question of imposing preferential tar ifs or of any innovation in Great Britain's fiscal policy has been shelved
 until an appeal can be made to the country and that during the existence of the present parliament the action of the ministers will be confined to discuss sion and inquiry. Ha .3f Amid these conflicting reports an agreement is found Tn the most authori- tative quarters on one point, namely, that Premier Balfour has again suc- ceeded in inducing his colleagues to agree to some sort of compromise which will keep the present ministry in office, though it will probably be slightly re- organized and that this compromise is
 most likely continuance of the policy of inquiry" Amy action on the fiscal question will thus be shelved and for the details oe the compromise it will probably be necessary to wait for Mir. Ba1four's promised speech on October |.

LIPfON'S PRESENCE DESIRED
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY
 PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Vigorous Attempt to Clear Up Mis- understanding Regarding the Sea- wanhaks DInner-PresIdentE Expresses His High Regard for Sir Thomas and Earnestly Requests That He Attend.

Earnestly Requests That He Attend.
 Oyster Bay, N. T., Sept. 14.-President Roosevelt to-day approved of the issue of a formal statement of the facts con- .cerning the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht club dinner incident, which has created so much unpleasant comment.
 Colgate Hoyt, chairman of the board of trustees of the yacht club, visited Oyster Bay this afternoon. He was driven to Sagamore Hill, where he had a conference with the president for half an hour. MT. Roosevelt expressed re- gret that any published statement of the dinner incident should have placed, him in a false attitude, and, with view of relieving Sir Thomas Lipton of em- barrassment because of the statements that he had treated him with discourte- sy, he authorized MT. Hoyt to make a plain statement of the episode. Ind
 Iris evening MT. Hoyt prepared and issued the following: ....:s
 There has been so much fisunder- standing over the proposed annual din- ner of the Seawanhaka Yacht club that I feel it my duty, as chairman of the board of trustees, to state the facts, yiz.:s S.. . 7,
 That the president was invited by me to be the guest of the club at it's annual banquet and he accepted with the distinct understanding that it was not to be large formal function, but simply the annual banquet of the club for it's members and guests. Sir Thomas Lipton's name was not mentioned, nor that of any other gentleman, in my in- terview, and to assure the public that nothing was further from the presi- dents thought than to bar Sir Thomas Lipton or any one else from the dinner take pleasure in giving to the press the following letter which I have just received from Secretary Loeb:
 . september II, 1903.
 My Dear Mir. Hoyt-The president directs me to say that it will be par ticular pleasure if Sir Thomas Lipton can come to the Seawanhaka dinner. As you will recall, all that the president said when the invitation was extended to him was that he did not feel like ac- cepting any more invitations to formal functions; that if it was simply to be a neighborhood dinner among his own friends in the Seawanhaka club he would gladly come. The president has 3 particularly high regard for Sir Thomas Lipton and high appreciation of the manly and sportsmanlike spirit he has shown throughout the yacht contests. The president earnestly de- sires that Sir Thomas be present at the dinner.

 HER ATTITUDE.
Declares That if the Powers Do Not Intervene She yyiII be Forced to Take such Measures as She May Deem Necss- sary-Turkey Systematically Devasta- ling ancedonIa.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Sept. 14.-The Bull garian government through it's foreign representatives has addressed a note to the great powers declaring that the porte is systematically devastating Macedonia and massacreing the Chris tian population. Further, it says, Tur- key has mobilized her whole army which cannot possibly be for the sole purpose of suppressing the revolution. Therefore the Bulgarian government appeals to the humane sentiment of Europe to prevent the continuance of the massacres and devastation and to stop the mobilization of the Turkish army. The memorandum concludes with the plain statement that unless the powers intervene Bulgaria will be forced to take such measures as she may deem necessary.

London. Sept. 15-The important note sent by Bulgaria to the powers, declar- ing that. unless the latter intervene in Macedonia, Bulgaria will be forced to take such measures as she may deem necessary, is held to be a prelude to the mobilization of the Bulgarian army un- less Europe exerts herself in some way to prevent conflict, and there is prob ably some connection between this eventuality and the decision of the rev olutionists to revert to guerilla tactics which may be in order to reserve their resources for cooperation with Bulga- ria.
 It is announced in Sofia this morning that Prince Ferdinand will return to the Bulgarian capital from Euxinograd in a few days, when the government will take some decisive step.
 The Daily Mail understands that the British cabinet yesterday resolved upon naval cooperation with the powers in naar eastern waters, and that British Narships will shortly appear in Salon iea.
 The Turkish embassy in London yes- terday again issued a long statement warning the public against the '.un- founded reports and islanders of Bulga- rian source daily appearing in the Lon. don papers, and denying seriatim the reports of Turkish atrocities and that Turkish troops have been ordered to cross into eastern Roumelia in order to cut off the insurgent bands, etc. The statement further gives accounts of Turkish successes against the Bulga- rian s'brigands;'' represents the bands as dernoralized, hiding and surrender ing, and asserts that the Bulgarian in- habitants of the Ottoman provinces who joined the bands are now imploring the imperial clemency and are surrendering the arms distributed to them by the revolutionary agents.
 A dispatch from Monastir to the Daily Mail denies that the insurgents have been terrorized or dispersed by the Turkish troops They are merely bid- ing their time, it says. The correspon- dent gives an authenticated case of the massacre near Monastir of thirty peas ants who yielded on the strength of Hilrni Pasha's proclamation guarantee ing their safety.
 An Athens dispatch announces that Premier Ralli has formulated a demand for the punishment of the Turkish lead- CTS responsible for the pillage of the Greek villages in Macedonia and the murder of their inhabitants.
 It is stated in Vienna that the repre- sentatives of the powers have earnestly advised the sultan to withdraw the AL bania Redifs from Adrianople on ac- count of their lawlessness.
