HAVANA, Aug. 27.-The criminal court has acquitted Joseph de Wyckoff. an American lawyer, of the charge of misappropriating $1O,OOO sent to him by Colonel Michael J. Dady of Brook lyn for the purpose of securing an op- ton on the aqueduct at Cienfuegos. The purchase was not consummated, and De Wyckof did not return the money. The contention of the defense was that the power of attorney given by Colonel Dady to De Wyckof was not special, but general; that Colonel Dady owed De Wyckoff more than SIO;o00 and that De Wyckoff was justi- fled in applying the money to that ac- count The court agreed that De Wyck- off's business relations with Colonel Dady justified his applying the money to other purposes than the purchase of the aQueduct

ITO tell how I saved my first $1OO would be telling of a fight fully as tragic in its own way as any of the worlds great battles said Sir Thomas Idpton to a reporter for the Evening Journal. "It was work of the hardest kind.
 'I came to America when II was 16 years old and here it was that I accu- mulated that $1O0. denied myself many things in order to lay aside 5- cent pieces quarters and dollars. And when I got that $1OO together I went to the old country and started small store.
 'From then on I worked like a beaver and the secret of my success, however great or small, is work. I got my real staxt in life when I accu- mulated my first f1OO That seemed one of the most difficult tasks I had attempted, and large undertakings since that have seemed small in com parison. Energy, constant industry good memory and equabi1ity of temper are what man needs to make a for tune-they are better than capital. ."- New York Journal

DESIRABLE AND SALISBURY.

sSo long as Disraeli lived, Lord Sal iSbury lived in his shadow. No two men could have been more necessarily antipathetic than this parvenu and this patrician. The remark of the duh old duke on Lord Beaconsf1eld's first appearance in the house of peers doubtless expressed the unspoken sen timent of Lord Salisbury: What a droll 'blackguard it isv' And indeed his sentiment was not unspoken. Hel spoke it freely in that burst of indig- nation to which Dizzy so characteris- tically replied: "The noble marquis who wrote anonymous articles against me before l was his colleague, and after I was his colleague-I really do not know whether he wrote them while I was his colleague. "s4 What ever truth there may be in the story. of a real reconciliation between these. temperamental opposites, it was only after the departure of his chief that Lord Salisbury was able to assert him. self. To him foreign politics were q means of conducting to the grea tness of the British empire. To Dizzy they were simply paWns in his personal political game. And, while he re- tained his interest in public affairs, it must be owned that Lord Salisbury ordered the foreign affairs of the em- pire with shrewdness. prudence and circumspection. Especially and liter ally with circumspection. He Hooked round" on the affairs of the world from the point of view of an intelli- gent British patriot. And for many years there was nothing to compare, for intellectual interest, in the pro- ceedings of the British parliament with such survey of mankind as the prime minister. with extensive view"
 from time to time gave the house of lords. He detected the British inter l ests" in what to his hearers and his readers before he began to explain it was mere weltering imbroglio. Con- ! fusion became order in his path. And he did for all those years promote as well as perceive the true interests Of his country.

URGE GREAT POWERS
Macedonians at Sofia Ask
 Europe's Aid
TO STOP TIE TURKISH CRUELTIES
Bulgarians Are Called Upon to Help TheAz Brethern Across the Border. Wmmt a C1aRtstfan Governor to
 insure Peaee ana Security.

SOFIA. Aug. 2-At an immense mass meeting of MaceSlonians held here 1t was resolved that a memorandum should be presented to the representa- lives of the great powers, urging their governments to take action.
 The recent visit of the Russian squad ron to Turkish waters was much com mented upon at the meeting. It was; de ecribed as "a movement of sunshine which quickly passed" The speakers impassionedly appealed for the imme diate intervention of the powers in Macedonia, declaring that if the pour ing out of blood in Macedonia contin- ned another fortnight Europe would find nobody there to save The Bulga- yian ministers were urged not to stand by while their brethren were dying in Macedonia.
 | The gathering was the largest ever held in Sofia. Most of the shops were closed during the meeting as mark of sympathy with its object.
 Resolutions were adopted thanking the publicists who have defended the cause of the MacedOnians, regretting the hesitation on the part of Europe to $ake steps to ameliorate the lot of the Christians in Turkey, demanding the appointment of powerful Christian governor who would insure security for the country and inviting all Bulgarians to aid in securing the triumph of the work already begun.
 The telegraph wires have been cut between Salonf1xa and Vardar, twelve miles southwest of the former city.
 The Macedonian committee has is- sued black bor<iered list of seventy villages which have been pillaged and destroyed in the vilayet of Monastir, to which are added instances of the re- voiting outrages perpetrated on wom- en. The publication of this sheet has created sensation.
 The revolutionisty at Kischevo are re- ported to have six quick firing guns. Kn a fight which has just occurred in that district the insurgents defeated and slaughtered an entire detachment of eighty soldiers.
 A Turkish courier carrying 10000 francs intended foF the pay of the troops has been captured by insurgents near SurOvitchOvo. The rebels have
 
 blown up an iron bridge over a deep ravine on the high road between Losen- grad and Deminrdgehand
 The sultan's government has decided to cali to the colors all the remaining European reserves belonging to the Second and Third army corps and a number of other reserves, which will bring to total of the Turkish soldiers in Macedonia up to S50 battaliOns- This is almost double the force utilized in the Turco- Greek war. ..
 The enrolment of such large bodies of troops indicates the seriousness with which Turkey views the situation and her determina ton to use all the means at her disposal to repress the rebellion. Ibrahim Pasha, young and capable officer, has been appointed to com mand the troops operating in Macedo- mia.

HANDS FROM THE EAST
College Professors, Athletes and Dry
Goods Clerks Go to Work in
Kansas Fields.

Great Bend, Kan, July ia delega-
ton Of thirty three harvesters has ar
rived here direct from New York, for a
va cation in the harvest fields Of Central
Kansas. Among the number were one Of
the assistant professors in Columbia uni
versity and some Of the athletic students
of Columbia, Yale, Harvard and Lafay-
cite universities. who came out with the
expectation Of developing enough muscle
to make the teams at their respective
colleges next year.
Reports of the steadily increasing de-
mand for farm hands In the middle west
to harvest the big crops have resulted in
large emigration Of young men from
New York city, especially in the whole
sale dry goods district.
Only the other day forty young men
gave up their places and started for the
west. Some Of them had enough money
to pay their fares all the way, some had
enough to pay it part Of the way, and
expect to use their wits to carry them
the rest Of the journey.
There is a lot Of us fellows up In the
dry goods district who were born and
brought up in New oYrk and who have
made up our minds that there is bet
ter chance for us outside Of New York
than there is in it., said the leader Of the
party. Every young man born outside
Of New York hustles into the city as soon
as he gets old enough to take Job.
1--WE think the thing for US to do is to
get out in the country these fellows have
left and take the chances they have
thrown away In their anxiety to break
into the metropolis. We may be wrong,
but we're going to give 1t q trial, and
we're not going to quit until we have
worked every opportunity"

A SOP FOR THE
RUSSIAN BEAR
The United States Government Asks
the Gear to Name Venezuelan
Arbitrators.

Washington, July 14.-By direction Of
the president, Secretary Hay has asked
the car Of Russia, thru the proper diplo-
matte channels, to name the arbitrators
who will pass upon the contention of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy that they are
entitled to preference In the payment Of
the claims of foreign nations against Vene-
zuela.
from the list Of members Of the permanent
their sessions at The Hague. 2.
In asking the car to name the arbitra-
tors this goyernme nt has the utmost con-
fi{lence that the Russian sovereign will not
allow his Judgment to be biased by the
Kishinef petition incident and the allega-
| ton Of Russian unfriendliness toward the
| United States in the Manchurian negotia-
lions.
A somewhat hopeful feeling prevails here
| that the car, in responding to the request
of the United States to name The Hague
arbitrator, may find occas sion to bring uI
the Kishinef matter and thru friendly in.
| terchanges secure an understanding thai
will obviate the necessity of any attemp,
by the United States to place the Kishine1
petition before the Russian government
| This would restore the relations Of the
two nations to their former status Of
! cordially.
1t has been surmised also that the czal
might find The Hague matter the occa
sion Of making an entirely satisfactory

gard to the Manchurian open door, nego
