INSURCENT BANDS

Revolutionary Movement In
Vilayet of Monastir.
PEOPLE FLEE FOR SAFETY
News Conflicting as to Extent of Re-

tions to Suppress same-Railroads
Ask for More Troops.

Constantinople, Thursday, August 6
delayed IN transmission) News re-
ceiVed here as to the extent of the
Bulgarian revolutionary movement in
the vilayet of Monastir is conflicting.
In consular dispatches from Monastir
which were received this morning, the
opinion $ expressed that the insurrec-
ton broke out a fortnight earlier than
its chiefs intended and before the
bands were in readiness, presumably
because the leaders were disconcert-
ed by the active preventive measures
adopted by the authorities
The Bulgarian inhabitants in a
number of villages have fed to the
mountains for refuge.
The railways have asked that the
troops guarding the lines be quad
rupled, but this would entail the en-
ployment Of 10000 soldiers, and in view
of the impoverished treasury the gov
eminent will find it difficult to comply
with the request.
In spite Of reports to the contrary,
it is confidently believed in well-in-
formed circles that the porte in con
formity with its formaI~Ieclaration
will employ only regular troops to sup,
press the inSurrection as it is we'll
aware how important it is for Tur-
key to avoid excesses such as certain
ly would be the outcome of the EN-.
ploymeht OF the undisciplined al.
banians or other irregular soldiers.
The diplomats here entertain no
doubt that the porte will continue its
present policy of fighting with regu-
lars.

House Does a Little Business of All

Atlanta, August THE house of

yesterday.
Mr.. Mills, of Cherokee, set the ball
rolling by personal privilege speech,
in which he resented the statement
in an afternoon paper to the effect
tha% he had disappeared on account
of the lobby Investigation
Mr.. Fields, OF D0ooiiy, Do0ooi tried to secure
the passage of resolution excluding
from the house floor all outsiders not
entitled to the privileges. The reso-
luton was not passed.
The house passed by big majority
the Macon annexation bin. Many
Maconites were on the floor of the
house to hear the debate and catch
the result
The convict bill was ordered trans.
mitted at once to the senate, where
opponents of the present lease system
will endeavor to have it amended
Without an adverse vote the house
passed the bill Of Mr.. Morris, OF Cobb,
to provide for the creation of a confed.
crate memorial board, which will care
for and improve the condition of the
of the confederate cemeteries Of Geor.
gia
The senate, by vote of 3D. to I,
yesterday passed the house bill provid'
ing for state uniformity Of textbooks.
The committee on education had re-.
ported several minor amendments,
some of them suggested 6y the au
thors of the house bill, and these were
adopted. There is but little difference
between the senate and the house upon
the measure as it stands, and these
will, in all likelihood, be cleared away
either by the adoption of the amended
bill by the house or in conference.
Senator McMichael endeavored I'd
secure action upon his bills providing
that solicitors general should be pui
upon a salary. AS opposition devel
oped to these measures they were also
tabled.
The senate passed the bill of Sen@
tor Park TO prohibit the sale OF stocks
Of goods in bulk without five days no
tice, the object of this being to protect
creditors against fraud
A bill of Senator Hudson was also
passed. This provided an amendment
to section 1865 of volume of the
code of 1895 so as to provide for and
authorize the judges of the superior
court Of this state to issue writs oil
