Guthrie, Ok, Feb. s0.--A cattleman
who arrived at Weatherford, Ok,
yesterday from Amarillo, Tex. says
that many cattle were killed by the
recent storm. He states that he
counted nearly 100 head lying dead
along the Choctaw railroad. The cat
tlemen In that locality do not put
up feed for the winter and the cat
tie were not in good condition for
such severe weather as they have
had there the past week. Unless the

probability lie that many thousand
head Of cattle win die for want Of

 Vienna, July 1.--It is announced here ssthe Bulgaria has sent circular to it's representatives abroad and the minis ters of the powers in Sofia, calling at tention to the attitude of Turkey which it declares has not only failed to cooperate iii carrying out the reform scheme, but is concentrating troops and artillery on the frontier. where the Turkish soldiers under the guise of searching for arms are perpetrating all sorts of outrages on the Bulgarians in the hope of provoking an international conflict which the note says. could only have disastrous results for Turkey and Bulgaria.
 ert pressure at Constantinople to secure the withdrawal of the excessive Turk ish forces now sta toned on the frontier. The Bulgarian government declines to be responsible should Turkey continue its unfriendly attitude.
 In reply to the Bulgarian note Count Coluchowski, the Austrian foreign min ister, has promised that the Austrian. ambassador at Constantinople will make representations 10 the porte with regard to the situation on the Bull garian frontier and will request the Turkish government to avoid doing anything which may induce Bulgaria to take preventative measures.

AMERICAN RABBIs, MEETING.
Report or Sabbath Commission Causes
 Hot Discusalon.

Detroit, July 1.-The report of the Sabbath commission to the central con- ference of American rabbis to-day pro- voked . hot discussion which occupied large part of the two sessions and re- suited in the report being referred back to the commission to be placed in more concise form The Sabbath commission was appointed at the last conference to consider and report upon several questions being on the Jewish Sabbath. one of the most important of which was whether holding services on Sunday in Jewish temples was schismatic act that would result in separating the re formed Jews from their brethren
 The report was very lengthy and. as many of the speakers pointed out. did not give positive answers to the ques- tions. Instead of definite recommenda- tions or the question, long disquisitions were given to them. This brought out heated debate.
 pr. Silverman of New York, president of the conference, rebuked the commis- sion for being derelict in it's duty in not answering the questions more specific- ally.
 Dr. Sonnenscisch of Des Moines said he was one member of the commission swho had given direct answer in the commissions report and resentsng the criticism, wished to resign from this commission. His resignation was not accepted and he was prevailed upon to remain.
 K Considerable debate followed. Dr. Philipson of Cincinnati finally moved that the report be referred back to the commission to be put in the shape of a definite resolution, making specific rec concentrations on each Of the points. This WAS carried and the commission was ordered to report again on Friday morning.
 After adjournment Dr. Silverman said the conference had been misrepresented on this Sabbath question, that the mat ter of substituting Sunday for the Jew ish Sabbath was not before the confer- ence and had never been. 'The ques- ton" he said, Sis simply whether or not the holding of services in Jewish tenn pies on Sunday as an adjunct to the Sabbath services where conditions made it impossible to many of the members of the congregation to attend services on Saturday is schismatic act. that will cause a schism in the church."
 Rabbi Grossmann of Cincinnati read a paper this afternoon on Pedagogical Methods in the Modern Jewish Religious School"
