The Salonika Bank Explosion.

An interesting and significant phase
outbreak in Salonika, III which the Of
toman bank. post office and other build
ings were blown xp by explosives. The
event secalls a similar affair in Con-
stantinople in 1895. On Aug. 26 Of that
year a number of men entered the Of
toman bank, carrying sacks which ap-
peared to contain coin for deposit.
When twenty-siX of them had assem-
bled they began to fire revolvers and
explode hand grenades. They were
members of an Armenian secret society
which had planned this demonstration
as means Of aKousing the interference
of the powers for the settlement of the
entire Armenian problem. Officials Of
the bank fed to an upper room and bar
ricaded themselves The revolutionists
held the building till the following day,
when, through the mediation of the
British ambassador, they surrendered
VI SOAOAIAOAA SAas SACJ NC CSSOA ICu III
board ship and permitted to leave the
country in safety. They did not dis
turb any of the treasure in the bank.
While the plot was in itself remark
ably successful, the penalty paid for it
was a terrible one. No sooner had the
news Of the attack spread through the
city than enraged mobs of Mussulmans
began to hunt down Armenians wher-
ever they could be found. Rioting and
disorders continued for three days, the
military and police joining in the mas
sacre Of innocent Armenians. The for
efgn consuls estimated that in that time
fully 1900 Armenians were killed,
while other estimates placed the num-
Der as high as 10000.
The Salonika outbreak was unques-
tionably planned by Macedonian revo-
lutionists in imitation Of the CONSTANT
nople demonstration. AS in that in
stance, no treasure was taken from the
exploded bank. The recognized pur-
pose Of the Macedonian revolutionists
at Salonika, like the Armenians in Con-
stantinople in 1895, was to arouse the
European powers to the point Of inter
vention. AS the Constantinople affair
failed to stir the powers to action, so 1t
fs likely that this outbreak at Salonika
will not produce the desired interven-
ton. This trick of the Macedonian
leaders, while shedding an interesting
light upon conditions in the Turkish
empire and upon the ideas and methods
Of the revolutions, is not likely to help
the cause of Macedonian Independence
It will have tendency rather to make
the powers hold aloof while the Turk
Furnishes outbreaks Of law1essness in
his own way.

MUMF0RD ASKS A DAYS
INCOME FOR ORPHANS.

Rev. w. e. Mumford, founder of the
Georgia Industrial Home near Macon,
appeals to the people of Georgia to
give the children a days income, and
suggests Saturday, May 2, as the day.
The homes existence represents a
pathetic financial struggle, and the OBJ
ject for which it exists appeals to the
best impulses. Those who labor in
Office, store, shop or field are asked to
remember the home on Saturday. A
United States judge gives one days
salary every year, several mercantile
firms have given their income for one
day, and also a number of mechanics
and professional men.
The class of children being reached
by the home are without a chance
from any other source of benevolence.
Savannah, Augusta, Columbus and At
lanta are largely represented among
the inmates. There is Savannah
cottage at the home and money is be-
ing raised to build a Columbus cot
tage. Funds for the charity may be
forwarded by postoffice or bank check
to Rev. w. f. Mumford. president
Georgia Industrial Home, Macon.
Starting a little over four years ago
with an idea, without capital stock.
through non-sectarian private contri-
buttons, the home is now in possession
of property representing an expenditure
of about $500 and is caring for over
$50 otherwise hopelessly destitute chill
dren, and training them TO habits of
industry. 1t cares for children of un-
fortunate parents from every section
of Georgia and has no state aid or or
ganized help.

about the fine appearance of every

ALL TOGETHER TO
VETERANS REUNION.

McLaws Camp and OglethOrpe
Light Infantry Decide on Route.
AT a meeting of representatives of
McLaws Camp, U. c. w.. and the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry last night,
it was decided to make the trip to the
reunion of Confederate Veterans at
New Orleans by the Central Railroad.
This means that all of the Confederate
associations, as we'll as their military
escort, will go by that route, the Com
federate Veterans Association having
already determined to go via Central
Railroad The information of the Sc
lection of a route was announced by
Mr.. w. G. Brewer.
The special solid train, containing
sleepers, will leave Saturday night,
May Is, going via Macon and Column
bus, arriving in New Orleans on Sun
day night. This will give one entire
day in New Orleans for preparations
or business, since the reunion does not
begin until May 10. The special train
will not confine it's passengers to Con-.
federate veterans and the military, but
will sell tickets to any one who wants
to make the trip.
The Oglethorpes have been drilling
for some time, in order to make a fine
showing in the parade. Forty mem
bers have signified their intention of
going, and it is likely that the COM
nand will make a most creditable
showing, which will reflect more great
ly upon the Savannah military since it
will be the only company from Geor-
ga, and probably the largest, if not
the only, company from a state as far
distant from the reunion as is Georgia.
The movement to bring the 1904 re-
union to Savannah has taken definite
shape. At a meeting of the commit
tees representing the trade bodies and
Confederate veterans, which will be
held at the De Soto tonight at s: 80
O'Clock, the matter win be thoroughly
discussed. and some decision will prob
ably be reached. 1t is highly probable
that unless Richmond makes a bid for
the reunion that Savannah will make
a hard fight for it. In view of the fact
that the jefferson Davis monument
will be unveiled there next year, the
associations have no desire to dispute
her claim to the reunion

WANTS FORT SCREvEN
A FIRST CLASS POST.
Chamber of Commerce Will Try to
Interest War Department.

Interest War Department.
A definite movement may be inaugu-
rated shortly to induce the War De-
partment to increase the garrison at
Tybee, and make Fort Screven a first
class post. Fort Screven is recognized
as one of the most important seacoast
defences of the country, and yet has
but three batteries of artillery under
the command of a lieutenant coloneI,
whereas there are a number of other
forts of less importance that have both
larger garrisons and more and better
accommodations for the men.
A movement to interest the War De-
partment in this matter has been quiet
ly carried on for some time by Col.
EstiI1 and others, and the matter was
brought before the Chamber of Com
merce meeting Tuesday night, when
Maj. ]. Ferris Cam suggested that
something be done to bring about the
enlargement and improvements.
AS has been stated before the gov
eminent has recently bought tract
of land adjoining its original reserVa-
ton which is to be added to the hold
ings of the fort, and as on this new
land are several groves of palmettos
and other semi-tropical trees it is
question If any post in the country
could be more attractive than Fort
Screven if the proper steps are
taken.
1t is possible that the movement for
interesting the government in the i'm
provement and enlargement may be
started by inviting to Savannah Sem
ators Bacon and Clay, some of Geor-
gias representatives, and taking them
for a visit to the fort. The matter will
probably come before the Chamber
of Commerce when a committee will
be appointed to take charge of the
matter
