APPEAL TO POWERS.
Macedonians Say Intervention o'Ay
Can Stop Blod-Shed.

Sofia. Aug. l2.-The delegates here
of the Macedonian committee ad-
dressed the following appeal TO each
of the representatives of the powers:
"Your Excellency: The delegates
of the Macedonian committee have the
honor TO bring to your notice the fol-
lowing declaration with the request
that YOU communicate it to your gov
eminent:
"The Mussulmans' systematic perse-
cution has compelled the Christians In
Macedonia and the vilayet OF ADRIAN
ople to institute a general rising. Iney
have had ecourse to this extreme
measure after ~eXhausting all paclhc
means 70 secure the intervention o
Europe to enforce the provisions OF
the Berlin treaty. At the present mo-
ment intervention is the only means
of ~remedying the evil and
Stopping sIoodshed.
The sporadis efforts of the powers to
secure reforms have failed; they re-
suited merely in a recrudescence OF
Turkish fanaticism and government
oppression.
at is evident that reform measures
to be ~eficacious must include the ap-
pointment of a Christian governor gen.
eral of Macedonia. some one who has
never held office under the porte, and
who must be independent of the
Turkish government in the exercise
of his functions, and the further ap-
pointment by the powers of a joint,
permanent administrative board. with
full powers to deal with any disturb
ance
Having published the foregoing
facts to the civilized world and made
known the causes which have driven
the MacedoTians to despair. the COM
mittee for the Macedonians. now IN
arms. propose to continue the fight
till the object Of their uprising has
been attained"
Provoked by Tcrkey.
London, Aug. 12.-The Times prints
a dispatch from Sofia which says it IS
believed there that the Turkish gov
eminent provoked the present Mace
DOMAIN rising for not only has Turkey
failed to execute the promises made
to the Bulgarian government for the
amelioration of the condition of the
Bulgarian Macedonians, but she has
increased her persecution and mall
treatment, thus exasperating them.
If the Turks should try now to sup
press the rebellion by the massacre of
innocent people the Bulgarian govern
ment would be obliged to intervene"
Powers Exchanging Views.
Rome, Aug. IL. - 1t is stated here
that there has been an exchange of
views between the powers regarding
the situation in Macedonia, and that
apparently the powers have decided to
support Austria and Russia in efforts
to r~e-establish peace.

AGAIN ON THE TRAIL.

II there ever was a man In a state OF
malicious prosecution 1t is John X.
Sumner. No other term can describe
the embarrassment with which he is
visited by the Ellis appeal from the
decision of Judge De Bolt dismissing
the application for the appointment of
guardian for his person and estate
on the ground that he is insane.
John K. Sumner by legal decree, by
medical examination and by common
knowledge is In full possession Of his
mental faculties. His only weakness
has been in paying money to his rela-
tives to let him alone and not taking
from them a quit-claim receipt. But
over-trustfulness in ones kin is not a
sign OF insanity; a reluctance to believe
that ones own flesh and blood, upon
whom favors had been showered, would
treat their benefactor in his old age
with mean ingratitude and baseness,
does not prove a man to be mentally
undone. King Lear when he divided
his island empire between two human
hell-cats, his daughters, was not of
ruined mind: it was only when he
found himself betrayed and driven out
into the highways by his brutal off,
spring-'when he learned how sharper
than serpent's tooth is it to have
thankless child-that his intellect went
into sad eclipse. Perhaps that con-
summation is what the people who are
John. X. Sumner hope for
rha til ho< ri
man, with the burdens of eigh,y-three
years upon his shoulders, will break |
down indeed. IL he is harried again
with bitter accusations and trailed by
the bloodhounds Of the law. A few
months ago, when his troubles were
Mr.. Sumner could not
sleep; he walked the floor or sat at
the window at night with hot, strained
eyes. II that state of things had
kept up long enough, surely his greed
smitten kith and kin would have had
him in the mad-house and his fortune
in their own reach. But things took
a turn for the better and John K.
Sumner slept at ease. Lets wake him
again and keep him awake! Let's lash
him till his mind gives way! Haul him
INTO court, put spies at his heels, COM
pei him to employ more lawyers, keep
lim away from his business in Tahiti
then. may be. we can get him into yhe
asylum and his fortune into our tank
lccounts" Is that the attitude Of
hose who are again trying to unnerve
he poor old man, who, after long |
has got back his own? For
he sake Of common human nature |
We hope not-but wait and see.

AN ANII.AMERICAN POLICY.

An evening paper complains because
the fanatical attack by Speaker. Beck,
ley and others upon the plan to bring
American settlers here. was sent out
by cable. saying that the story was
one-sided. AS a matter of fact only
one side belonged to the story and that
was the true one, namely, that an APP
preparation for an immigration COM
missioner was beaten in the Royalist
House of the Hawaiian Legislature aft
er the Speaker and other leaders had
declared that American settlers were
not wanted here. That was the plain,
unvarnished news, such as the. Assoc
ciated Press expects its agent to send.
It was not his business to palliate the
record but to give it as 1t was made.
Nor was IL his duty to say. as is In
tfmated in the Bulletin. that, the anti
American speeches were made in 1.-The
heat of discussion" No matter how
hot the debate may have been it
crystallized into the cold fact of an
adverse vote against the immigration
commissioner: and besides, the news
or errors which do not appear in the
record from which he gets his, informa-
ton.
r Further than this every fair-minded
white man In Hawaii knows. that the
aboriginal policy is opposed to his in
terests. The native no more wants
white men and particularly Americans
to come here than he wants to be
beaten in the,next election. He believes
that the more Americans there are in
the Territory the fewer will be his
chances to hold office-and holding Of |

SETTLERS.
1.-THE oaicial and Commercial Record.l

llhe OWclal ana commercial hecord.l
BY the joint labors of the various
immigration and promotion associa-
lions of California and with the invalu-
able assistance Of the Transportation
companies in the way Of special and
reduced rates, nearly 10000 settlers
have been brought into the state in
the past twelve months, and the end
is not vet. This shows what can be
accomplished by intelligent, consecu-
tive and concerted effort.
The figures given have no reference
whatever to the immense crowds of
tourists who have visited the state on
health or pleasure bent, but refers only
to those who have come there to stay,
the greater proportion of whom are
home builders, tillers of the soil: the
very class of people so much needed in
Hawaii.
There is no reason why we should
not be just as successful, proportionate-
ly, as is California, in attracting this
class of people. We have the induce
ments to offer and all that seems nee
essary is to make known the real facts
in regard to the islands, to those who
are seeking just such information.
No state or territory in the union can
show better soil, better climate or
raise greater variety of products than
is possible here.
The sore heads, the pessimists and
the anti-everythng people who are to
be found in every community, would
have us believe that every possible line
of business had been exploited, every
mine of industry worked out but this
is veritable rot, as, with the exception
of the sugar industry, We have simply
nibbled at the edge of possibilities in
production.
Those who are successful in any line
of business do not, as a rule invite
competition and. naturally. compare

OF us and eventually start a stream of
intending settlers in this direction. 1t
would also be surprise to many of our
present residents who have confound-
ed small farming with truck farming or

Interpreter he was endowed with a

which stood him in good stead. He
