London, Sept. 25.--As IN interces-
sion service in behalf Of the people of
Macedonia, held in one of the city
churches yesterday, Cannon Maccoil
described the Macedonians as laboring
under disabilities rendering them
practically outlaws, deprived Of the
elementary rights of humanity.
Germany, Austria and Russia he
said, ARE giving a free hand to the
Sultan, because they have agreed to
the partition of Turkey in Europe.
Austria Is to have protectorate over
Servia, with half of Macedonia down
to Salonica Russia will get the other
half of Macedonia, with protectorato
over Bulgaria, while Germany will get
a slice OF Asiatic Turkey and the port

Rome, April Boxing Edward left
Rome to-day for Paris, amid tremend-

were crowded and the windows and bal
comics were filed with people. Detach-
ments of troops kept back the crowds.
Yesterday afternoon his majesty called
upon the pope and was ClOseted with the
venerable. prelate for twenty minutes
A bell was then rung and klns Ed
wards suite was admitted and presented
to the pope This little ceremony seemed
to please the pope immensely. At Its
conclusion King Edward took his leave,
the pope crossing the room at his side
and saying his last words at the door. -
From the vatican King Edward passed
thru the piazza of ST. Peter. where he
was warmly greeted in English by num-

shouted "Hurrah for the king F..
Instead of returning to the British en-

Some particulars Of the interview be-

king, saying in French:

CANADIAN LINES AND ELKlNs LAW
Former VIII Hardly Attempt to Evade the
AFTER

It is the opinion among railroad men
that the Canadian Pacific and the Grand
Trunk will not attempt to evade the Ell
kins law by having the Canadian ends of
the roads which ran into or thru the Unit
ed States absorb rebates which the Elkins
law would not permit in the United States.
On the other hand, it was said that If the
officials of those raods did contemplate
an evasion of the law to secure business,
the Canadian government would not toler
ate the violation, fearing retaliation from
the United States government. ,. >. r.
Then it has also been pointed out that
should the Canadian railroads and govern
ment unite to defeat the purpose of the
E;ll<ins law. the American government
could control the bonded freight passing
in and out of the United States, and
should the Canadian roads persist in Civ
ing rebates, a bonded tax could be placed
on freight passing thru Canada which
would be so great that it would over
shadow the concessions given to shippers.
| Even if the foreign roads. grant the
rebates and we're they not molested by
| the United States government, still Amer
| lean shippers would not be protected, for.
! it is said. under the law they would be
equally as guilty Of crime by accepting
rebates from Canadian lines as If they re
ceived or asked the same concessions from
! home railroads. I, -

A NEW GOLD FIELD
Edison's Invention Makes Possible
the Development Of Big Tract.

New York Sun Special Service -,
Orange, N. j., April 30.-Tracts Of land
in the southwestern part Of the United
States containing valuable deposits Of
gold are to be opened as result Of the
latest invention of Thomas A. Edison who
has perfected device for separating the
gold from the placer gravel, without the
use Of water. 1t has been impossible to
work these fields because the water need
ed for the proper operation of the hy-
draulic system was not at hand.
Mr.. Edison employees an air blast to
separate the gold from the gravel and
other impurities. Like most Of his inven-
tions this one Is simple. An experimental
plant has been operated successfully in
New Mexico. E r.-' .-a.
