sultan Calls Out Fifty-two Thousand
Additional Troops.


CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 1S.-An
imperial trade has been issued calling
out fifty-two additional battahons Of
troops (about $4,000 from the Euro
pean provinces of Turkey in conse-
quence of the spread of the insurrec-
ton in Macedonia. These troops ON
prise twenty battalions of reserves Of
the first class from the Adrianople and
Salonika army corps. The others are
reserves of the second class.
The managers of the railroads have
notified the government that they dis
claim responsibility for the damage
done to the lines or for the injuries to
prevail in Macedonia.
The squadron of the Russian Black
sea feet under orders to sail for Turk
ish waters consists of the battle ships
Catherine H., Tria Sviatitelia, Rosti-
slav and DvenadZat Apostolon, four
torpedo boat destroyers and six mine
and torpedo transports. The squadron
has arrived at Sevastopol preparatory
to sailing for the Turkish coast.
The Roumanian war minister has or.
dered the government powder factory
and small arms ammunition Depot
prepare large quantities of an
ton Immediately.
Orders have been issued for the
iliZation at Sofia Of two division
reserves. 1t was rumored that they
be employed in Strengthening
forces On the frontier to prevent tk1
passage of Bulgarian bands into Mace
donna. The officials, however, state
that this rumor is unfounded and that
the reserves were called out to undergo
their customary training.
The memorandum of the Bulgarian
government to the powers regarding
the situation in Macedonia has pro-
duced a great effect at Rome. The gen
eral impression is that the Bulgarian
government is no longer able to hold
back popular feeling, which, unless it
is repressed in time, will lead to q war
with Turkey. The fate of Bulgaria in
that event, it is thought, would proba-
bly, be the same as that of Greece in
the last war with Turkey.

this purpose is being collected in the

is local opposition to the temple and

WONDERFUL INDIAN RUGS.
Artistic Specimens Woven by Skill
fuI New Mexico Red Men.


fuI New Mexico Red Men.
Along the valley of the Rio Grande
in New Mexico are several settlements
in which the PueblOs still practice
their art of blanket weaving, which, if
we except agriculture and stealing,
are, with pottery making, their chief
remaining occupations. Their methods
of weaving show the effect of their as
sociation with the native MeXicans,
since they differ entirely from tie
methods Of the Navajoes. resemblii
more those of the weayers in the =.
terror of Mexico. The Navajoes weave
their blankets on an upright frame.
whereas the PuOblOs' loom is a huge
and cumbersome affair that TO a cas-
ual observer might readily be taken
for the framework of little hut. The
weaver docs his work standing in this
loom, often two weavers working side
BY side. With the Navajoes the women
do all the weaving, but the higher civil
lization of the Pueblos is shown by the
fact that the men not only weave the
rugs, but prepare, clean and spin the
wool. The natives use only a high
grade of native wool for their blankets
and rugs, cut from the sheep or An
CORA goat. The first process in prepar-
ing the wool is to wash and cleanse it,
removing all natural grease and dirt
This is done by hand. with the aid Of
the "soap weed" root, until the wool
is as pure and clean as though it had
come fresh from securing mill.
Following the washing and drying
comes the carding. \ crude handmade
carder is used. consisting of a rough
piece of wood some nine inches square.
covered with rawhide and prepared for
its work by numerous nails driven in
and covering one side. These pull and
comb the wool until it is ready for
spinning. After spinning, it then goes
to be dyed with those fast cOlors pecul-
Jar to Indian workmanship. As a
study of the Handmade" these rugs
are interesting. for surely nothing could
be more entirely handmade, from start
to finish. The Indians do not hurry in
their rugmaking Time is of little OBJ
iect to them. An Indian rug of heavy
weave will outlast the life of an aver
age man and is often so closely woven
as to hold water. Many a cowboy,
hard pressed for a bucket has watered
his horse from his Indian blanket. A
weaver will spend days sometimes on
a single rug. Many of their patterns
and designs require twenty or thirty
changes in the running of a single
thread across the rug. and for each of
these changes there must be a change
in the shuttle used In such cases the
work becomes tedious. Pueblo rugs
bring good prices, and the humble
weaver with few wants and luxuries
lives a comfortable. peaceful life in his
little adobe dwelling. g.-HOusekeeper.

aEAVY STRIKE LOSSES
Net Earnings of D. L. &W. Decreas-
ed Fl Per Cent by Coal Strike.
VIOLENCE WITHOUT PARALLEL

President Truesdale Says Had Like
outrages Been Perpetrated On
Americans In a Foreign Country the
Government Would Have lnterfered.
New York, Feb. 25.-The stockhold-
ers Of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western Railroad held their annual
meeting here yesterday. All the di-
rectors and officers were reelected.
The annual report shows a decrease in
gross earnings of S2,10S.S69, or S.97
per cent. and in net earnings a de-
crease of $2,137,742, OF 21.60 per cent,
due to losses from the coal miners
strike last summer.
The report of President Truesdale
says certain circumstances attending
the Inauguration of the strike and
much that has occurred during its con-
tinuance, and since, lead to the conclu-
sion that it was melted by certain BIZ
luminous interests which are in direct
and active competition with the an
thracite industry.
Continuing, President Truesdale
says: THE reckless, irresponsible ele-
ment throughout the anthracite region
inaugurated a reign of lawlessness and
terror, accompanied with murder, az
sault and outrage on individuals, in
total disregard of rights of persons
and property, and without parallel in
this country. Had one-half of the au-
thenticated cases of crime and out
rage committed against persons and
property during this strike in Penn
sylvania been perpetrated on citizens
of that or any other of these United
States, residing in a foreign country
and likewise engaged in lawful, peace
full pursuits, and the government OF
such country had not taken immediate
steps to stop same and make prompt,
full and satisfactory reparation for
the injuries done and the wrongs suf-
fered, can any one possibly doubt that
the entire army and navy of the
United States would have been called
into active service if necessary to pro
tect these citizens and enforce such
reparation even though war should re-
sult?"
President Truesdale refers to the
large expenditures necessary to main
tain the efficiency OF the road, and
adds:
Increased wages will have to be
paid this year, fuel and all other sup
plies and materials used in large guam
titles by railway companies are higher
in price than in many years, and the
cost of all other items making up the
expense OF performing transportation
service has been greatly enhanced by
existing conditions. so that it is doubt
full whether as favorable net results
will be possible in the future as have
been secured in the past"
