VIII Keen "WaIIed CITY"

The walls about the city of Manila
are not to be destroyed. The proposed
innovation met with such a storm of
protest that Secretary Root has given
orders to Governor Taft to let the walls
alone. Manila is now the only walled
city in the orient and many people in
America, as wella as the Philippines, pro-
tested against the destruction of the
old fortifications on the ground that
if would be an act of iconoclasm. No
part of the wall will be disturbed, al
though it is probable that as sanitary
measure the moat will be filled up.

Berlin, May 9.-The German govern ment regards the Turko- Bulgarian sit uation as being grave but responsible officials say that if a collision can be staved off through the summer more sober counsel can get a hearing in the winter when military action is impos- sible. Regarding the mutual recrimin- ations of Turkey and Bulgaria imput
 ing bellicose purposes the officials here say Turkey certainly cannot wish for war because she is unable to bear the expense and knows beforehand that the powers would not permit territorial ex- pansion as a result of victory It is also believed that Bulgaria, while showing a deplorable weak attitude towards the revolutionary clements does not desire war. The powers have made representations to Sofia, empha- sizing the impossibility of allowing Bulgaria to realize the fundamental aims of its policy, namely the acquisi- tion O; a part of Macedonia. The powers know that the partition of Ma cedonia in favor of Bulgaria. would cause Greece, Servia and other coun- tries to raise claims for Turkish terri tory. Hence the powers are unitedly determined not to permit any change

HAVEMEYER
 WILL HIRE 4 HALL
For Discussion of the Labor Prob
 lem.

New York. May 9.-John C. Have meyer in an open letter published in the newspapers of Yonkers. issues a challenge to the trades unions in which he offers to engage public hall and de- fray all expenses excepting for the speakers and make one condition that the unions agree to conflne their speeches to answering questions to be furnished by him in advance. He as- serts that a refusal to accept his offer wilLbe an acknowledgment of weakness on the part of the men.
 In his letter MT. Havemeyer says to the trades unions: Has it ever oc- cured to you that the ability or skill to do any kind of work comes from God and is a trust of which we are bound to make good use. To what ex- tent has any man the right to cease from work and thus cease to use the gifts. Nor has he the right by per suasion or force to keep other men from exercising this gift even if he is un- willing to use it himself. If through idleness men are refusing to use the ldAtIl W HlNn 1ON SdNC bAiCs NtA tainly are fighting Him and are en- gagged in a hopeless contest"
 "If a thief assaults me, steals my pocketbook or takes other property and is convicted he is sent to prison. How far does the morality of such acts differ from that of those men who lose money. which is practically what the thief does? And is it not just as immoral to keep a lot of men from working and thus cause great loss to other people and prevent them from earning money needed for the support of their fami- lies?
 "I believe the time is not far distant when the courts will so decide, for the world cannot afford to have its peace and comfort interfered with so serious ly by the suffering and demoraliZaticn practiced. In conclusion, I hereby ex- tend an invitation to the trades unions of Yonkers to discuss this question. The object of this will be to prevent a waste of time by irrelevant and excitable ap- peals and to secure a clear and full statement of the grounds upon which the action of the trades unions is based"

Bakersfield, Cal, May 9.-Superin- tendent Burkhalter today received a telegram from General Manager Krut

Copies of the dis patch were circulated among the shopmen. The dispatch denies abso- lutely the charge that the Southern Pacific has assisted the Union Pacific in any way and declares that the trouble on the latter system was due to a demand for a ten per cent in crease in wages. recognition of the union and certain shop rules, and had nothing to do with the question of piece work, which was introduced only with the new employees. The boiler makers served formal notice on Master Me chanic French and Superintendent Burkhalter that the strike will go into effect Sunday night at midnight.

NEAR 4 RUPTURE
 WITH THE TURK
Minister Leishmann Unable to Trans.
 act Diplomatic Business.

Washington, D. C., May 9.-An indi- cation of tIe troubles experienced by MT. Leishniann, United States minis ter to Turkey in his dealing with that government is disclosed in the Turkish diplomatic correspondence made public at the state department today. In a telegram to the department Leishmann complained that the grand vizier who had repeatedly refused to see him, had countermanded and annulled a number of matters upon which the minister of foreign affairs had acted favorably. In order to exhaust every effort, Leish- mann demanded an audience with the sultan. Leishmann requested in his telegram to Secretary Hay that unless the audience was granted and not only the questions at issue, but the princi- ples involved in them satisfactorily set tied that he be given permission to tle- mand his passports.
 He said further: "It would be worse than useless and derogatory to the dig nifty of the United States government to continue relations with the Sublime Porte, if, after weeks and even months of hard patient work business which has been fully settled with the minister for foreign affairs is to be rendered un- yailing by the grand vizier's conflict "A E and countermanding orders'
 ~ Subsequently MT. Leishmann re- ported that the sultan had expressed the wish that he overlook the discour- tesy shown him on the ground that the grand vizier was an old man and not feeling well. Emphatic instructions were sent by the sultan to the grand vizier to receive Leishmann at all times in manner "befltting the dignity of the representative of a great power, ,' when Leishmann consented to resume relations. Leishmann subsequently, re- sumed relations with the Porte and a diplomatic rupture was avoided

4 MAFAI ATTEMPT
 TO BLOW UP UINBRIk

New York, May 9.-An internal ma chine connected with a hundred pounds of dynamite was found in a box on the Cunard liner pier today According to the expert opinion of the superintendent of the bureau of combustibles, the box was found and put into the river just in the nick of time to prevent it's explod- ing and demolishing the pier and the Umbria, which was alongside ard about to sail. The box was left at the pier yesterday in an apparent attempt to have it placed aboard with the baggage of the passengers.
 The discovery of the box was due to a letter received at police headquarters today, addressed to Comm issioner Greene, containing the greeting of the Mafia society and informing him of placing the box on a vessel. It said "The society has declared war against England and has ordered the destruc- tion of every steamer flying the British flag that sails out of New York har- bor.
 ''The undersigned received orders to begin operations by sinking the Ocean ic, but so many women and children took passage that the society's plans were changed at the last minute"

 On the other hand, the reforms in Macedonia which have unfortunately been suspended through the outbreaks of violence at SalCnica, must be carried out and Austria Hungary and Russia which are immediately concerned. will see through their consuls that they are carried out. It is understood that the powers in their representations at So fla representing the Bulgarian cabinet with showing weakness toward the rev olutionists pointed out the necessity for a more energetic attitude
 In addition to the communications made to the government at Sofia the powers have made representations at ConstantinOple which have convinced Turkey of the hopelessness of deriving any territorial or pecuniary advantage from attacking Bulgaria. Nevertheless danger lies in the fact that Turkish and Bulgarian troops are crowding on each other on the frontier and proximity to it. rendering accidental collision pOssi- bIe. which could easily grow into un- controllable dimensions. The situation therefore, is having a depressing effect on the government bourses and is pre- venting any operations on a large scale.
