SOCIALISTS SENT TO PRISON.
Abused Governor of Porto Rico and
the American FLAG.

Ihe american RAG.
San Juan, P. R., Sept. 16.-Eduardo
CCnGe and Leonidas Guillot, two So
c~ialists who spoke in a recent meet
ing of the American Federation Of La
hor, were put on trial Tuesday for
insulting the American nag and threat
ening the life of Governor Hurt. Their
speeches tcemed with abuse of the
government. One Of the prisoners
was accused Of advising The n--0rEmen,
upon the return of Governc@N mt on
oct. /, from the United States, to pa
rade carrying black flags and then to
make demands upon the government.
If these demands were refused, the
speaker added, the alternative Of kill
ing Governor Hunt remained. The
other orator was said to have declared
that the American flag was a rag fit
only to over rascals and criminals.
The accused vehemcntly denied the
charges. They We're tried before JUS
tice Kopcl, convicted of a%narchistic
conduct and sentenced to six months
in prison.
Justice Kopel says the flag is higher
than the law and anarchists need never
expect any mercy in his court. The
case has established a precedent as a
Porto Rican official warning that at
tacks on the flag and government
must stop. The Americans and loyal
Porto Ricans are iubilant, while the
Socialists are angry at the de-
cision. The convicted men will appeal
from the Judgment, claiming that JUS
tice KOpel had ne jurisdiction, as there
is no law covering the offense. The
interest in the case is intense.

TURKEY IS YIELDING
elbows SOME SIGNS OF AGREE
ING TO THE DEMANDS MACE
BY BULGARIA..
NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS
CONCERN PLAN OF PEACE OR
EUROPEAN NEUTRALITY IN
EVENT OF WAR.

London, Sept. 23.-The Balkan situa-
ton today presents a somewhat puz-
| cling aspect. Turkey is showing signs
of yielding to the Bulgarian demands,
and it is evident from the daily meet
ing of the council of ministers at the
Yildiz Kiosk that some sort of nego-
t~iations are in progress with the OBJ
ject OF averting war.
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Constantinoplc, these coun-
ellis concern two possibilities-either
to make an arrangement satisfactory
to the Macedonians or obtain from the
great powers promises of neutrality If
it is found impossible to avoid a war.
Apparently both Turkey and Bulga-
ria are anxious to repudiate having
taken the initiative in the negotia-
tions.
The Sofia correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph asserts that the overtures
came from Turkey and were welcomed
by the Bulgarian minister. on the con-
dition that deeds were substituted for
words and that the cessation Of whole
sale massacre should become an ac-
complisked fact.
He aGdS that a Dac1llc SoluJlOn, II II
comes. will emanate from Constantine
PIE, where the Bulgarian representa-
tive is invested with full powers and
the negotiations are said to be pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.
The same correspondent SAYS in the
meantime devastations by fire and
sword continue and the Bulgarian gov
eminent has received from trust
worthy sources a gruesome tale of mas
sacre. fortunes, inaignities and burn
ings, in many instances the victims
being slowly roated alive.
The assertion is made in another
Sofia telegram that the sultan will is
sue an trade on Thursday. granting
the demand for a. mixed commission,
but this statement is not confirmed
and would seem to be negatived by the
dispatches from Constantinople.
A Monastir correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle saws the Bulgarian
list Of villages pillaged and burned
reaches a total of 104.
According to a dispatch from Odes-
the whole Russian Black Sea fleet
is kept on a war footing in readiness
for any e~ventuality. ..;.,

CANADIANS JUBlLANT.
Score What They Believe to Be a Good
Point in Boundary DISPUTE.

London, Sept. 1G.-The first day OF
the oral argument in the Alaskan
boundary question was taken up by
Attorney General Finlay, who par
TALLY presented the Canadian view OF
this important controversy. When
the tribunal adjourned at a few min
utes after four o'clock the Canadians
were glatiiicd at scoring what they
believed to be the first good point.
During the afternoon session the at
torney general sought to establish the
position OF Portland channel and fix
the entrance thereto. He Interpreted
the words. "A la Hauteur de" in the
Russo-British correspondence leading
to the signature Of the treaty of 1922.
not as showing that the boundary line
con the same parallel and the lower
end Of Prince of Wales island, as
claimed by the United States, but
"off Of" as asserted by Canada.
The effect of this would be to fix
the line at 81 degrees As minutes, as
claimed by Canada. Chief Justice AL
verstone agreed with Attorney Cen
eral Finlay.
When American counsel have the
opportunity to speak they say they
will show that the Canadians them
selves have given various interpreta-
tions of the phrase, and they are in
clined to minimize the Importance Of
Lord Alverstone's statement.

DAMAGE TO WHEAT CROP.

Reports From The Northwest Send

Minneapolis, Sept. 16.-That the re-
ports from the Northwestern states re-
garding the damage done to the wheat
crops are, to a large extent correct,

TENDER wheat jumped from 88h cents
to 81 cents, at which figure it remained
until the close of the session.
December was also higher, advanc-
ing II cent on the poor crop reports.
The fax market, probably more than
wheat, reflected the weather conditions
in the Northwest. During the past
few days prices have gone up 10 cents
and the seed IL now selling at $1.07.

Minneapolis yesterday only 1913 graded

mainder was of low grades which sold
from rs cents up to Sc cents.
There seems no probability that

half the wheat is in the shock and that
much of it has %sprouted.

LEASE HELD INVALID.
Important Decision on Valuable Ore
Lands in Michigan.

Marquette. Mich, Sept. 16.-The
state supreme court at Lansing has
affirmed the decision of Circuit Court
Judge Stone in the case of the Negau-
nee Iron company VS.. the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron Mining company, involving
iron ore lands vSlued at several million
dollars. The right to develop and
operate mines on the tract was claim
ed by the Cleveland-Cl company In
der the provisions Of a ninety-year
lease held by the Pioneer Iron com-
pany. which it succeeded. The lease
was held invalid. however, in the cir
cult court and this opinion has now
been affirmed. Since the litigation
started two large mines have been
opened on the lands and others are
almost certain to be developed. The
litigation has been the most important
tried in the Upper Peninsula for years.

within a Short Time II Will Probably
Be Settled.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 23.-Within
t%hirty-six hours the question OF peace
or war will probably be settled. &C
cording to authoritative opinion here.
Premier Petroff had an interview Tues
day with Aliferuh Boy, at which the
whole situation in Macedonia was dis.
cussed. AS a result OF this conference
a much better feeling prevailed and
confident hopes are expressed that q
satisfactory adjustment will be- reach
ed. This view is strengthened by q
report from Constantinople to the Of
feet that the council Of ministers after
some DAYS discussion Is within meas
urahle distance Of an agreement on the
chief points at issue.
The premier complained to the Turk
ish diplomatic agent of the situation
created by the arrival at Burgas OF
thousands of destitute and starving
refugees from the districts Of Los En-
grad. After a discussion, an under
standing was practically reached that
Turkey should guarantee the safe pro-
lection of the refugees and take steps
to reinstate them in their homes.
The general effect Of these confer
ences in Constantinople and Sofia has
induced a much more hopeful feeling
here, although in Balkan affairs 1t is
always possible that the next days
happenfngs may change the entire sit
uation.
The war ministry has taken steps to
strengthen the Bulgarian frontier
forces and it is reported that troops
will occupy all the commanding posi-
lions, thus making it almost impossi-
BILE for bands to cross the frontier.
Some regiments Of the Second and
Third divisions have been ordered to
the Adrianople frontier. where the
Turks have massed strong bodies of
troQps.
Revolutionary bands are. reported to
be active in the district of Raslog.
province of Sieres, where they hold all
the mountain passes. The Turkish
population is fleeing toward salonica.
