Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. both In Of

tween Bulgaria and Turkey - immi-
nent and can be averted by nothing
short Of q miracle Il ID not expected
that either government will formally
declare hostilities, but that the pre-

The Bulgarian agent at Uskub reports
that the detachments OF Turkish troops
sent 70 garrison the small towns In
that vilayet have spread destruction
along their route; the villagers have
been robbed and beaten, the women
violated and the Christian population
subjected to every conceivable out
rage, while the local authorities ap-

ties. At the village Of Dracheve. six
miles from Uskub. the soldiers at

gendarmes interfering on behalf Of the
latter. The Bulgarian agent specifies
similar excesses in many other VII
lages and the position Of the Bulgarian
residents is reported to be terrible, as
the cruelties committed by the Turk

KANSAS COAL TRUST.

Topeka. Kan, Sept 1.--0 Q. Cole
man, attorney general. will make his
first move against the Usage county
coal trust by collecting data In regard
to the increase In the cost Of labor
In the mining district He will make
the inquiry Of the state commissioners
Of labor statistics and will have infor-
nation enough before him to make .
case against the coal operators by
the end Of the week.
II have very little faith in the ordi-
nary investigation as conducted by
prosecuting attorneys and legislative
committees" said the attorney general
yesterday, land would not favor such
proceeding to get at the coal trust
The best way to bring such q proceed
ing would be to get . case In court
and get the information from the wit
nesses. OF course, It will be impossi-
bic to do anything until ! get some
tangible evidence. 1t may be an easy
matter to get this and 1t may require
great deal Of effort.
II do not believe the increased price
Of coal comes from the increase in tho
cost Of labor. I do not believe the in-
crease In the cost Of labor has BEEN
80 great that It will nearly double tho
price Of coal. The fact that the price
Of coal has been increased By all of
the dealers is sutilcient to convict the
coal operators Of conspiracy 10 the
minds Of the people, but It would hard
ly be admitted as good evidence BY .
court Of law. 1t would be too late TO
commence proceedings against the
trust unless such proceeding Is COM
menced before the cold weather be-
gins, a. by that time the consumers
will have purchased their winters sup
ply"
The attorney general suggests as .
remedy that the coal mined at the peni-
| tentiary mines be admitted to the gem
eral market In competition with the
Usage county coal. However, he says
this plan could not be put into opera
| ton before the winter Of 1905, a. Z !
state law now prohibits the sale o.
penitentiary coal on the open market.

A CITY OF MALES.


Chicago, Sept. 1.-Chicago Is . city
OF men and boys. Investigations COM
pleted by the health department show
that 1t has q larger proportion Of male
inhabitants than any other large city
In the United States. More than this
more boys are born here each year
than are born in any other city In pro-
portion to population For 20 years
Chicago has averaged 5.S per cent
more males than females, while New
York has 2.S per cent more females
than males. Philadelphia and Boston
are in class by themselves, and re-
ports would indicate that in future
years the Chicago man may be COM
PEELED to go to the eastern cities for .
wife. While the number Of young
women in Chicago is not in keeping
with the demand, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and New York have many doomed

My investigations (personaD are
limited to i distance Of twenty-five
miles from Nome inward or land
ward and ] can truly say that the
land il mixed with gold to exceed my
,iondest anticipations. Instead OF ~
being difficult to find land that Will
pan gold it would be rather dithculs
to find land that would not pan gold.
Gold seems to be everywhere OF
course In variable quantities ranging
from noticeable quantity to hundred
dollars or more per pan.
Several days ago man caiied
Caribou Bill who owns claim on
Dexter Creek discovered after several
.r =
months prospecting on the same q
very rich spot. By actual test u
pans netted him $l,2S7. 1t is not
easy to learn the value of most claims
tina. are being worked. But claims
paying from 800 to $3.50 to a man al
work are common in sluice work.
With hydraulic and sluice from one
to several thousand dollars per day
are common with 8 or 4 men at work.
The rich pay seems to be anywhere
Just as likely to be on the hill or
mountain as in creek or river bottom.
The most profitable method Of work
is with Nydronlic and sluice and
usually requires capital to ditch and
pipe water to an elevation or pump 1t
up with an engine.
Extending from the coast there is Q
level plain OF about four miles width
stretching along the coast ct this
point. This level tract OF land Is
covered with various moses, grasses
and beautiful flowers and berries and
is called the tundra, every foot Of
which is inlaid with gold. But very
little is being done on 1t for the lack
Of water with which to wash ont the
gold.
