BALKAN ASPECT ALARMS.
Seriously Occupies the Attention of
All the European Capitals.

London, Sept. 5.-The increasing
threatening aspect of affairs in the
Balkans seriously occupies all the
European capitals. What shall be
done in Macedonia is anxiously dis
cussed on all sides. The censorship
is active in Constantinople, for the
only news thus far of the landing of
marines emanated from Washington.
The subject is not mentioned in any
Constantinople dispatches received
here.
The Austrian embassy at Constan-
tinople, in the absence of convincing
proofs, has not yet taken action. The
police in the meantime are arresting
Bulgarians in all parts of CONSTANT
nople, and wild rumors are afioat there
of other projected outrages.
The Vienna bourse is panic stricken
because of the fears of war. Most &C
tive military preparations by the
Turkish government are proceeding,
and Turkish officers are talking Sof
their ability to reach Sofia within
three weeks from the outbreak of
war.
Dispatches from Sofia, via Vienna,
assert that the war party in Bulgaria
Drovnik is preaching a war, and has
revealed the existence of an alleged
Russo-Bulgarian treaty of alliance
signed by DR.. Danieff and General Pa
prikoff, late Bulgarian premier and
minister of war respectively.
On the other hand, showing the
difficulty of arriving at an accurate es-
innate of the real condition of affairs,
the Sofia correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph declares that Bulgaria's
aversion to war is insuperable on both
military and political grounds. He as.
serts that the Bulgarian government
is resolved sedulously to avoid every
thing calculated to lead to hostilties,
first, on account of the Austro-Russian
opposition and secondly, because the
army is totally unprepared for war.
Prince Ferdinand is devoting his eff
forts to STAYING off decision, hoping
that the powers, for their own safety,
will arrange for Europe a control of
Macedonia and the restoration of
peace.
"A detailed chapter of events would
be more bewildering than instructive"
continues the correspondent, "but
neither side is fighting with kid gloves
and rosewater. The real responsible
ity for the trouble rests neither with
the Turks nor the insurgents, but on
the European powers, who awakened
the hopes of the Macedonians 25
years ago and then abandoned them to
their fate. 1t should, in justice, be
stated, however, that Russia has less
cause for self-reproach than the rest
of Europe"

Londoners Not Interested.

London, Sept. 4.-The final defeat of
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger,
Shamrock III, was received in London
with absolute listlessness. Most of the
afternoon papers published special
edition announcing the result of the
cup race but the announcement had
already been discounted by the dis
patches giving the progress OF the
race. The consensus of opinion is
that Sir Thomas Upton has done
everything that time and money could
accomplish and widespread sympathy
for him is shown. The chief hope ex-
pressed in the streets is that Canada
will enter the lists next year and pos
sibly succeed where the mother coun-
try has failed. 1t seems improbable
that in view of the failure of Sham
rock III another challenger will soon
be dispatched from England.

AMERICAS CUP
To REMAIN HERE
England Must Produce a Ge-
MUS Equal to Herreshoff
to Secure 1t.
THE FINAL RACE is SAILED
Lead of Reliance Was So Great 1t
Was Said There Was No Second
Shamrock III Lost Her Bearings
and Did Not Gross the Line.

New York, Sept 4.-Reliance, the
won the third and final race for that
famous trophy, the Americas cup. In
a dense fog which prevented vision
beyond 200 yards she finished the
race at $4,000. Shamrock III after
running for more than an hour in the
fog, missed the final line, passed by
it and then returned to it from the OPP
posite direction. AS Reliance was
being towed through the feet yacht
ensigns fluttered from her truck and
spreaders in celebration of her victory.
Shamrock III did not cross the finish
line. AS often said of the historic
race when the America won the cup,
there was no second.
This successful result was achieved
only after four futile attempts to sail
off the final race after the outcome
had been admitted by even Sir
Thomas Upton to be foregone con-
clusion. Yesterdays was the eighth
attempt to sail a race. After one
fiuke Reliance won the two following
races, one by seven minutes and
three seconds and the other by one
anu ulHcIeSu S6COuuS. "A
week ago yesterday the first attempt
to sail the third race failed and at
tempts have been made every day this
week. On these occasions Reliance
led Shamrock to the finish line by
two miles but failed to reach it be-
fore the expiration of the time limit
Of five and half hours. Yesterdays
victory means that the cup is destined
to remain in America until England is
able to produce genius equal to Her.
reshoff in yacht designing.
Rarely if ever has there been a more
spectacular finish than Reliance's
yesterday. After racing for more
than an hour at great speed through
a binding fog, Reliance hurst through
the wall of mist upon the vision of the
spectators feet assembled at the
finish line, and heeling under a great
bellying balloon jib topsail, until her
lee rail was awash, flew across the
finish line almost before the spectators
could determine for a certainty that
it was she. Once more the Yankee
boat had added to the long string of
victories in contests for the honored
old silver trophy that carried with it
the blue ribbon of the sea.

TO GET RID OF NEGROES.
The Southern Orator Would Danish
The Race.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Mr. John Temple
Graves of Georgia, delivered an ad-
dress on "The Problem of the Races"
before the forty-eighth convocation of
the University of Chicago. He said
in part:
"The prejudice of race is a point
ing of Providence and the antagonism.
of peoples is the fixed policy by which
God peoples the different portions Of
the Universe and establishes the in
dividuality of the nations. The act
that brought these people together
on this continent was sin Of the
father, sin of greed, sin of trade
and the sorrow and suffering Of the
present is for the sin of the pasta
sin against nature and a sin against
God. The curse can be lifted only
when nature is indicated and God is
obeyed. The problem will be solved
only when the negro is restored to
the bounds of his habitation.'
at Is neither impossible nor i'm
practicable. The elements are willing,
and the way is in reach. This is not
day of impossibilities, The hand
of the Almighty is steadily opening
the way.
'It may be that the islands Of the
sea were placed by Providence in our
keeping to furnish an answer to the
problem of the time. The negro is an
accident, an unwilling, a blameless,
but an unwholesome, unwelcome, help
less, unassimilable element in our
civilization. He is not made for our
times. Ee is not framed to share in
the duty and destiny which he per-
plexes and beclouds. Let us put him
kindly and humanely out of the way.
Let us give him better chance than
he has ever had in history and let us
have done with him. Let US solve
his problem, frankly, fearlessly, nobly
and speedily. Let us put it behind us.
Let us purify our politics of the per-
plexity. Let us liberate the South to
vote and to think like free men upon
the mighty issues of the times"

GIG Sum FROM AN ESTATE
Collateral Inheritance Collection That
Breaks the Record.


Des Moines, September 3.-There is
good prospect that the present
month will break all records in the
matter of the collection of collateral
inheritance taxes. Tuesday over S.
600 was received at the state treas
urer's Office in small amounts from
various counties. Yesterday the sec
ond largest single payment was made.
This was a draft for $12,965.43, on &C
count of the estate of the late John
B. Phelps of Davenport, who died three
years ago. He left an estate, chiefly
in corporation stocks which Melted
over 100000, one-half of which went
to the widow and the remainder to
collateral heirs. He left bequest of
$1,000 to the Academy of Science.
The only other single collection as
large as this one was early in the life
of the law and good part of that had
to be paid back again. The $4,000 is
not all that will be collected on this
estate.
