DECLINE TO ACT
UNFAVORABLE REPLY TO Bull
GARIA'S APPEAL.
Turkey and Bulgaria Said to BE
Attempting to Get Together.
Details of Massacre at Kastoria
Show Nearly Two Thousand Per-
sons Persisted.

Sofia, Sept. 25.- The unfavorable re-
plies of Austria nd Russia to Bulga-
ria's last note and the fact that none of
the other great powers has yet replied,
coupled with the allegations that one
of the powers is encouraging the mill
tary party at the Yildiz Kiosk, tend
to create less hopeful feeling here.
There is, however, no perceptible
change in the situation. Various re-
ports are in circulation regarding nego-
tiations between Turkey and Bulgaria
looking to solution of the Macedonian
difficulty.
The Dnevik says Turkey has present
ed a note to Bulgaria asking for the
latter S assistance in reaching peace
able solution. Bulgaria replied that
Turkey must end the massacres, with
draw her frontier forces, guarantee
peace and protection to the VILLAGERS
desiring to return to their homes, am
nesty to political offenders, and intro
duce such governmental reforms as will
pacify Macedonia and Adrianople. The
Bulgarian reply concluded:
eff the present situation continues
the Bulgarian government will be COM
PEELED to yield to public opinion and
send an army to the frontier"
1t appears doubtful that the govern
ment has sent such an answer, but the
statement published represents in some
degree the governments attitude.
According to information received at
revolutionary headquarters from Mon
astir, 120 persons persisted in the
flames of the burning villages near
Kastoria. More than l 200 bodies of
women and children are said to be ly-
ing unburied in the fields and ON the
roadsides around that place.
1t is rumored here that 5000 Turks
have been killed by dynamite while
fighting body of insurgents in the
Krena detile.
According to fugitives who have ar
rived at Sofa from Djourmai, serious
engagement has occurred at Fekin, near
Melnika, 65 miles from Salonica, in
which the Turks are said to have lost
500 men killed, including two colonies.
Most of the villages in the district of
Melnika are in the hands of the insurg-
ents. Many of the villages are in
flames.

N. p. PRESIDENCY.
Now Said General Manager Cooper
May Get the Place.


st. Paul, Mimi. Sept. 26.-Official
information received here, and coming
to an executive official of the road, di-
rect from the board of directors, indi-
Gates that the chances for the selection
Of General Manager Cooper as presi-
dent of the system to succeed Charles
S. Mellen are brighter than ever be-
fore.
"Kindly use your good Offices with
the newspapers, the dispatch reads,
"to the end that in the matter written
concerning the Northern Pacific presi-
dency and success ,or to President Mel
len the names of Mr.. Bum, Mr.. I'm
derwood and Mr.. Hannaford be not
mentioned. Neither is candidate for
the presidency, and am authorized to
say that it is in error to give them
prominence in this connection, as we'll
as contrary to their personal Wishes"
The dispatch caused sensation, and
was an unexpected surprise to leading
officials, since it had been previously
considered that the choice of the direc-
tors would probably fall between Vice
President Hannaford and General Coun-
sci Bum. The New York advices in
dictate that neither Mr.. Bum, Mr.. I'm
derwood nor Mr.. Hannaiord will be
offered the presidency. Mr.. Underwood
has personally declared that he will re-
main with the Erie.

MINNESOTA MERGER.
Appeal Taken to Federal District
Court.

St. Paul, Sept. ga petition for
an order allowing an appeal in the case
of the State of Minnesota against the
Northern Securities Company has been
filed with Judge Lochren in the United
States circuit court for this district.
The assignment of error filed with
the petition in substance sets forth that
the court erred in every finding in the
DEGREES which dismissed the complain
ants bill of complaint. G.:a s a--s
1t is claimed that the court erred in
holding that the agreement which re-
suited in the formation of the Northern
Securities Company, with power to &C.
quire the majority of the stock OF the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railways is lawful and that the court
erred in finding that the Northern Sc
curities Company was formed for law
full purpose.
1t is further alleged that the court
erred in holding that the Northern Sc
curities Company is merely an invest
ing stakeholder in the stocks of the two
railroads named and that it is without
power to interfere in the management
or control of these two roads; that the
court erred in not finding that the
Northern Securities Company was
formed for the express purpose of gain
ing control of majority of the stock of
these two roads and their management.
1t is further claimed that the court
erred in failing to decide that the Sc
curities company was organized with
the intention of evading the laws o: the
state of Minnesota, which prohibit such
mergers as the Northern Securities
Company, and that the court erred in
ordering that the state was not entitled
to any relief in the action brought to
dissolve the merger.
The assignment of error closes with
a brief petition asking for reversal
of judgment in the case.

way towards solving the negro question
In this country. Details of Mr.. Hunts
plans in his Soudan undertaking, men,

SWAMP LAND LAWS.
An Opinion Finally Rereered in the
Oregon Case.


Washington, Sent. 2S.-Through an
opinion prepared by Assistant Attorney
General Campbell the secretary of the
interior has rendered decision in the
case of Morrow and others against the
state of Oregon and the Warner Live
Stock Company, involving large tract
of land claimed under lite swamp land
laws. The decision directs the issuance
of patent. The case has been be.
fore the department for twenty years
and has attracted much attention.
Morrow and his associates attacked the
application on the ground that the land
involved was not swamp land, but in a
decision delivered last May the depart
ment held that it was. The present
governor of the state then filed pro-
test against the issuance of patent on
the ground that it could not be issued
except on request from him. Inasmuch
as two of his predecessors had made
such request the department over
ruled his protest.

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Reasons Why Our Mother Tongue
Should he Called English.


Should Be Called English.
| Somebody has been writing to the
New York Sun to protest against its
being called the English language any
| longer. This man seems to think that
the Americans have more right to it
than the people who saw 1t first.
Granting for a moment the absurd
premise that the Americans and the
English are two different peoples, it
may not be out of place to mention
one or two reasons why the language
should continue to be called after the
| English.
The chief one Is that the English
made the language Chaucer rescued
1t from a weller of French and Saxon,
and gave 1t form. Spenser wrote his
Faery Queen In Il. These pioneers of
English are still studied and admired
in American universities. Shakespeare
made use of it to produce the great
est dramas In the world. AS late as
the end Of the Nineteenth century
there was a great theatrical manager
in New York-perhaps the greatest
Il
English at that, and at great profit,
to American audiences. This seems to
indicate that Americans still take an
antiquarian interest In the language.
Milton, if we remember rightly, found
1t good enough to employ in Para
disc Lost" and few other metrical
trifes. He also wrote prose mas
terpiece in 1t, the Areopagltica, the
Freedom Of the Press, ON which the
United States has acted, although the
essay was couched In a foreign Ian
gauge.
There are people, even In New York,
who contend to this day that Milton
couldn't have done better If he had
known American. Coming down to the
Eighteenth century, a great mob or
more or less distinguished lltterateurs
could find no more suitable vehicle
than English. They did fairly well in
1t, although, Of course, 1t has not the
resources of the real Fourth of July
American. Goldsmith struggled with
1t long enough to create few things
that still charm the heart and please
the fancy. Dick Steele and Joseph
Addison showed what the essayist
could do with 1t when he tried hard.
Lawrence Sterne managed to fit his
Irish humor into II, and cracked jokes
without drifting into slang.
Pitt, Fox, Burke, Sheridan delivered
famous orations in it, some Of which
pleaded for those very Americans who
are now regulating the brave old Ian
guage Dean Swift demonstrated that
satire made no demands upon 1t which
1t could not fulfill. At this juncture,
or somewhere near It, Samuel Johnson
gathered all the words together, and
put them into a dictionary which Is the
father of all dictionaries in the British
empire and the United States. Some
of Johnsons words are still In use, al
though many of them are quite unin-
tellgible to the average American. 1t
Is probably out of gratitude to Johnson
that the United States doesn't cut loose
from English altogether. In no other
way can we explain why college pro-
fessors, magazine writers, noyelists
and people of fine tastes In the United
States continue to go to these Eight
eenth century writer's for their style
Toronto Star.

"I grant you" said an Englishman

You aim at being bright and snowy

the pipes, or whatever the deuced
things are called, that serve to make
the place as hot as the Internal re-
gions. and make II as much as your
precious life is worth to go from one

Water Turned Into New Wenatchee
AQueduct.

Seattle, Sept. 2S.-The new high
line canal of the Wenatchee Canal
Company is now an accomplished fact.
Watre has been turned into the ditch
and it is nov ready to serve all agricul-
tural and horticultural lands through
out the country which it feeds. With
its capacity of $50 feet per secohd it
has supply not only sufficient for
these lands, but enough more to supply
the town of Wenatchee, if necessary,
and to generate 500 horse power in ad-
dition.
According to W. T. Clarke. president
of the company, the canal is something
unique, because of the engineering diff
culties encountered. Almost every kind
of construction was involved, from an
open ditch on level ground to hard
rock tunnel, and fiom plain timber
flume to a mammoth 4S-inch pipe, by
which the water is carried across the
Wenatchee river. $50 - So
The canal was built with the idea of
serving something like 5000 acres.
Some little more than that may event
ually be served, but the whole acreage
will be less than 10000.
Yet with this comparatively small
area of land to which water can under
any circumstances be furnished, the
work was undertaken and carried
through at the enormous cost of $780,
600. In length but twenty-three miles,
it was probably constructed at the high
est cost per mile and per acre of ground
served of any in the world, with the
possible exception of one. Claus
Spreckels' canal just outside of Honolu-
lu, which feeds the sugar magnate's
plantation, is 26 miles in length and
cost $500, 900.
Yet the Wenatchee canal is none the
less wonderful achievement. There
were not less than % gulches and ra-
vines and canyons to be bridged, vary
ing from forty to fifteen feet in depth,
and the largest and highest bridge is
1873 feet from the bottom Of the fume
to the roadway which runs at the bot
tom of the gulch.
