BULCARIANS FEEL
LESS HOPEFUL
No importance Is Attached to
the Reported Negotiations
With Turkey.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept pa less
hopeful feeling prevails today in gov
ernment circles regarding the general
situation, although no actual change is
reported. The events of the next two
days are awaited with great anxiety.
A largely attended meeting of Mace
DOMAIN sympathiZers at Rustchuk, Bull
garia, Sept. 2, adopted resolutions ap-
pealing to the Bulgarian government to
declare war on Turkey Immediately
In revolutionary circles war is be-
lfeved to be imminent, unless Turkey
stops massacring Christians. DR..
Christie Tatartcheff, president of the
Macedonian organizations, says that
the inSurgent committees attach no i'm
portahce to the reported negotiations
between Turkey and Bulgaria because
similar proposals were discussed in
1897, 1899 and 1900. The porte, added
DIR. Tatartcheff, entered into the con-
ference only to gain time to finish the
determination of what it regards as
the dangerous elements in Macedonia.
While the sultan's government is dis
cussing proposals for reform in Mace
donia the troops continue to massacre
the Christians and to devastate the
country. Referring to the details of
the proposed arrangement, DR.. Tatart-
chef said there was no guarantee, even
if the commission was appointed, that
it ever would be more than ornamental.
The present village commissions in
Macedonia have Bulgarian members,
but they are always favorable to the
Turks.
The president of the Macedonian or
CARNATIONS concluded by declaring
that the insurgents would be satisfied
with nothing short of Intervention by
the powers.
Special significance attaches to the
Macedonian meeting at Rustchuk be-
cause the resolutions adopted are the
first open expression of such an en-
phatic character in favor of war COM
ing from any popular meeting in Bull
garia. Rustchuk is the chief CONNER
cial town in the country.

YANKEE FIST FALLS
Presuming Frenchman Is
Taught a Lesson i'm Paris.

PARIS, Sept. 23.-The Jardin de
Paris is generally admitted to be just
little bit naughtier than any other
similar place of amusement where
twinlling toes and voluminous lace
form the chief attraction.
One night this week an American
girls garter, a good American fist and
Frenchman's eye formed combina-
ton causing great excitement momen-
tarily.
Among the attractions of the place
Is smooth plank with beyeled edges,
shellacked and slippery as glass, which
extends from the lovely garden above
to a sort of Midway Plaisance below
The plank, about forty yards long and
pitched at an angle of 35 degrees, fur
nishes an unconventional mode of de-
scent from the upper to the lower re-
gions much more rapid than the stair
way. Fair PariSiennes slide down the
planks astride as If riding horse man
fashion. occasionally so reclining on the
plank that their toes point s1yward,
while interested groups watch the de-
scent breathlessly, always hoping for
accidents
American girls and the more demure
French visitors slide down side-saddle
fashion.
On the evening in question an Amer
lean man had made the descent first,
to encourage the pretty young Amer
lean girl with him, and stood waiting
to receive her below. The visibly
abashed girl descended, but when she
jumped from the plank garter fiut-
tered from somewhere to the ground.
An unlucky Frenchman, not observ-
ing the girls protector, raised the silk
Ell band and bowling insinuatingly, said
audibly:
IF Madamoiselle will permit ME 1
will
He got no further. An American
fist had landed on one Of his eyes so
forcibly that the Frenehman fell.
There was much excitement and a
general row threatened, the Americans
present gathering around their COM
patriot.
Finally. cooler counsel prevailed, and
the incident was closed without even
a classic interchange of cards
The American who figured in the
fray is said to be well known In Wall
street.

CURED here on Sept. IL and were re-

were smaller, but perhaps more re-

The troops, supported by many edu-

the pacing hero of a hundred races and
the champion of a score of half-m mile

1t was the first day of the autumn

STRIKE TIES Up
II FLOUR MILLS
Employers Refuse to Arbitrate,
So Employees Are Called
Out at Midnight.

AS expected, the Minneapolis millers
have repulsed the overtures of the flour
leaders to submit to the demand of
the leaders to make eight hours at 25
cents an hour constitute a days work,
instead of ten hours at 25 cents an
hour
AS a result, the threatened strike of
all members of the International Union
of Flour and Cereal Mill Employees,
numbering 400 leaders, $50 packers
and nailers and $50 millers, went into
effect at midnight, and seventeen of
the largest flour mills are shut down
today. These are the mills of the
Pillsbury Washburn, the Washburn-
Crosby and the Consolidated Milling
companies, having a daily capacity of
$500 barrels.
The Cataract, Christian, National
and Phoenix, individual mills, with a
daily capacity of 1000 barrels, will not
be affected. About 200 men are en-
ployed at these mills.
Mems Proposal to Arbitrate.
The following is the proposition to
settle the difficulty by arbitration sub
mitted by the flour leaders yesterday
morning:
Gentlemen: The flour leaders have
requested an eight-hour work day.
You have refused their request. They
believe that their request is fair and
reasonable. You are no doubt sincere
in your position.
Since we cannot agree on this ques-
ton, let us submit the entire matter
to an arbitration commission. Let the
milling firms select two representa-
tive citizens of Minneapolis; we will
select two; let the four men thus
selected choose fifth member; COM
mission to be appointed as soon as
possible; decision to be rendered not
more than two weeks after commits
sion is appointed; both sides to have
the right to appear by representatives
before the commission to present evil
dence; decision of commission to be
binding upon both parties.
IF the offer is not accepted before
o'clock p. m. today, the members of
the three unions will leave their po-
sitions in the mill at midnight.
