Washington. September 26.-With-
drawal Of the American warships from
Beirut seems unlikely for the present,
in view of a cablegram received at the
state department from Minister Leish-
man today, at Constantinople, stating
that although his advices from Beirut
indicate that the situation is quiet Just
now. nothing like permanent order has
been established. 1t is inIicated in Mr..
Leishman's cablegram that the depart
ure of the Warships might be the occas-
ion for a renewal of the riots. This
confirms the opinion held here by state
department officials that the quiet at
Beirut is due directly to the presence
of American warships off that port
Minister Leishman adds that the new
governor of Beirut is actively inaugur-
ating reforms there, but it is not yet
certain he will be able to handle the
situation.
Rear Admiral Cotton cables the navy
department under date of Beirut, Sep
tember 25th that Beirut is quiet and
that the case Of the American consul is
still pending.
TURKISH TROOPS CONTINUE TO
SLAUGHTER.
Monastir, Macedonia. Tuesday, Sep
tember %, via Sofia. Bulgaria, Septem-
Der 26.-Snow has fallen on the higher
mountain ranges. and the refugees
must either leave their hiding places or
suffer the greatest hardships.
The Turkish troops continue to
slaughter refugees who return to their
former homes at the invitation of the
government, who promised protection.
n q ncrQ Of TO, in fho ;cI
borhOod of Resna, troops found fifteen
returned refugees working in a field.
They bound their hands, drove them in
to ditch and massacred fourteen of
the peaSOntS. One of them survived his
wounds. The refugees women, Subse-
quentlv discovered the bodies and car
ried the survivor before the lieutenant
governor of ReSna who refused to hear
their story.
One Hundred and twenty Bulgarians,
including four priests who had been
exiled by the Turkish authorities, left
Monastir yesterday.
SITUATION AGAIN BECOMES
SERIOUS.
Philippopolis, Bulgaria, September 26.
The run1ors current yesterday that
Bulgaria would send an ultimatum to
| Turkey setting forth that unless salts
| factory assurances were received that
| the Ottoman troops would be with
drawn Immediately from the Bulgarian
| frontier, Bulgaria would forthwith
mobilize her whole army, were caused
| by the mobilization of a regiment of
| engineers. The division with headquar-
| ters here are inclined to regard the
| situation as being more serious and
| preparations are being made for a mo-
| bile force to take the field.
The Bulgarian war office has received
| information that in the event of hos
| tilities the Turks will make a dash
| and endeavor to seize the Shipka pass,
| against which contingency strong Bull
garian forces are now held in readi-
| ness.

Buffalo. y. Y. September 26.-"Mrs.
Davis condition remains unchanged"
was the report that came from the bed
side of Mrs. Jefferson Davis at Castle
Inn tonight. Owing to the advanced
age of the patient, and the failure OF
her organs to yield to the treatment of
the physicians in attendance, every
hour that passes adds to the anxiety
of her friends here, and the relatives
who have fastened to her bedside. Mrs.
J. a. Hayes, of Colorado Springs, a
daughter of Mrs. Dav'~ arrived here
tonight. Miss L. W. Hayes. a daughter
OF Mrs. Hayes came to Buffalo with
Mrs. Davis from the Humbert Stone
Club on the northern shore of Lake
Erie and has been in almost constant
attendance upon her grandmother since
, she became i'll.
Mrs. Davis is conscious although
very weak. She recognized her daugh-
ter the moment she entered the room
and greeted her with loving words.

REPEAL OF 18TH AMENDMENT
SENATOR CARMACK WANTS THE
QUESTION DEBATED.
But Any Progress in it's Rspeal De-
pends on Its Not Being Made n Par
tisan or Sectional Question.

Nashville. Tenn, September 26.-The
American will say tomorrow; Senator
E. w. Carmack. in an interview here
today said when asked about the pub
lication that he would make an effort
to secure the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment:
Il am sorry that the impression has
been created that l am preparing to
agitate this question in congress. A
reporter was discussing with me an
article 1 had written on the race ques-
ton. He asked me if I intended to in
troduce a measure for the repeal of the
Fifteenth amendment 1 replied that 1
had not thought of doing so, but added
that l might do it just to bring on
debate That was all.
II confess that l have a great curiOs-
ity to hear the fifteenth amendment de-
Tended by the republican leaders who
now take the position that the general
principles of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence are applicable only to white
and not to colored men, and who hold
that the brown man in the Philippines
has no right that the white man in the
United States is bound to respect At
the same time. I know that any pro-
gress toward the repeal of the Fif-
teenth amendment depends on it's not
being made a partisan or sectional
question. To make it such would be
to check at once a healthy growth Of
public sentiment. 1t may be that any
direct effort on the part of a southern
man for its repeal would result in max
ing it q sectional pa~' question. This
must be avoided"

New York, September 26.-The Even
considers is the highest possible au-
thority. that Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany leader, has determined to
nominate on the democratic ticket
with George 3. Mcclellan FOR mayor
Edward Nj. Grout for controller and
Charles V. Fosnes for president of the
board of aldermen. Mr.. Grout and Mr..
Fosnes were re-nominated for these
offices this week on the fusion ticket,
on which they were elected by large
majorities two years ago. They are
independent democrats and, the Tele-
gram says, have expressed their will
ingness to accept the nominations on
the democratic city ticket
WILL COMBAT McCLELLAN'S
NOMINATION.
New York, September 26-After a
conference today it was decided that
the Kings county democratic organiza-
ton should name a city ticket on the
floor Of the convention and combat the
nomination Of Mr.. Mcclellan to the
bitter end.The leaders expressed their
determination to fight it out with
,Tammany.
At the close of the conference it was
announced that such men as Judge
Edgar NJ. Cullom, Lewis Nixon, Judge
Gelgerich, Morgan J. O'Brien. Judge
William ]. Gaynor, Joseph G. Hendrix
or Edward M. Shepard would be ac-
ceptable to the Kings county organi-
zation. Unalterably is the organiza-
ton opposed to the nomination Of Mr.
Mcclellan.
DEMOCRACY MAY BOLT THE FU-
SION TICKET.
New York, September 26.-John c.
Sheehan, leader Of the Greater New
York democracy, said today in refer
ence to a rumor that his organization
would refuse to support the fusion
ticket, owing to the failure to secure
the nomination for either borough pres
ident or sheriff on the ticket:
THAT is my feeling. I think all Of
the executive committee of the Greater
New York democracy feel the same
way. I think, however,, that nothing
will be done until a meeting of the ex'
ecutive committee some night mex
week. I believe we will bolt away
from fusion entirely and nominate al
entire independent ticket, from mayor
down

TRADES UNIONS MUST COMBINE
PEACE BETWEEN THE BUCHANAN
AND PARKS FACTIONS.
Delegate BrOphy Unseated-Presi-
With Other Organizations be Held.

Kansas City, Mo-, September 90
Peace was patched up between the
Buchanan and Parks factions in the In
ternation Association of Bridges and
Structural Iron Workers at their annual
convention today. President Buchanan
had scarcely called the convention to
order in regular session when the
Parks crowd expressed a desire to ig
more the proceedings of their own rump
convention yesterday and proceed in a
regular way. Then the convention took
q formal vote on the motion to recon-
slider the vote bv which Daniel BrOphy,
a member of local No. and who had
a proxy from Scranton, Pa, had been
seated. BrOphy was unseated by a
good majority. AS he rose 10 leave the
hall. Samuel Parks advanced toward
him with extended hand. BrOphy re-
fused to shake hands with the New
York walking delegate. until the latter
apOIogiZed for the stinging words di-
rected against Brophy on Thursday.
This Parks did fully and when the door
closed upon BrODhy, the convention seJ-
tied down for the first peaceable SeS-
sion since they convened last Monday.
The convention was formally organ
lied and stopped long enough in their
QuarrelS to listen to the annual ad-
dress of President Buchanan. which
was to have been delivered on Tuesday.
President Buchanan in his address re-
ferred to efforts to discredit unions,
because of their indifference to con-
tract obligations.
Capital said he. continues to COM
bine and consolidate ana it is neces-
sarv for trades unions. If they would
maintain solidarity and strength. TO
. combine with others in a live way.
President Buchanan asserted that
within the last year, government by in
junction had assumed wider and more
alarming proportions and recommended
that the convention appoint a commit
tee to advise with all the other organ
fzations Of the country FOR the purpose
of effecting a conference to be held in
the near future to consider definite ac-
ton to be taken with respect to This
great and growing evil"

consummation as ever.
The suspects. Francis and Huston,

guilty principals, but evidence has been
secured which tends to implicate them
with the crime. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that they were used as
tools by the real perpetrators. Their
stories of the manner in which they
spent yesterday has been proven to be
incorrect in several points, and until
they can prove an absolute alibi they
will be held by the authorities as at
least under suspicion.

been characterized by a determined
quiet. What amounts to martial law

Dear Sir: Three gallons saved is $12

Mr. Hanford Platt of Bridgeport,
Conn, ordered Is gallons Devoe to paint
his house, and returned 3 gallons. His
painter SAID it would take 10: a lead
and-oil painter.
Hubbell & Wade sold it. They say
everybody has the same experience
there.
The reason is, of course: they are
used to poor paint.
What is poor paint? Anything not
Devoe: some worse than others.
Besides, paints wear about as they
cover. Double the $12 to SIS.

Chapel Hill, y. c., September 90
the weather entirely too hot for the
best exhibition of foot ball, Carolina
defeated Guilford today by the score
of fifteen to nothing. Under the condi-
tiOns, Carolina's showing is considered
satisfactory. OF the three touch downs,
the first was scored by JacOcks after
three minutes of play, the second, three
minutes later by Newton, who broke
through Guilford's line and ran forty
five yards for a touch down. No more
scoring was done in the first half.
In the second half, Donnelly made
the only score with the aid Of beautiful
team play. The only other feature was
Carolina holding Guilford with only
One-haIf yard to make their first down.
The game on the whole was snappy
and interesting, but was marred by the
unusual heat and the absence on the
Carolina team of Captain Jones and
Giles, right guard. The game had to lie
played at 1880, in order to allow Ill
ford to catch the o'clock train.
Line up was as follows:
Carolina. Position. Gui f. d.
