BULGARIA MAKES AN APPEAL
TO GREAT EUROPEAN POWE

Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-THE Bull
garian government has presented
memorandum to the powers setting out
at great length the condition OF affairs
during the past three months in Mace
donia since the Turkish government
undertook to inaugurate the promised
reforms The most precise details,
dates, places and names of persons are
given in the memorandum, the whole
constituting terrible category of mur-
der. torture. incendiarism. pillage and
general oppression committed by the
Ottoman soldiers and officials.
The memorandum begins by stating
that during the past three months the
Ottoman government has taken a Sc
ries OF measures with the alleged inten-
ton Of inaugnrating the era of prom
ised reform and of assuring peace and
tranquility to the Bulgarian popula-
tion OF European Turkey, but which
have had the contrary effect OF further
exasperating this population and reviv
ing the revolutionary movement. In
stead Of proceeding solely against per-
sons guilty OF breaches of the public
order, the military and civil authorities
have sought every possible pretext to
prosecute. terrorize and ruin the Bull

GREAT BOXING MATCH RESULTS
IN EASY VICTORY FOR JEFERIES

Corbett, in comparison with the big
man opposed to him. locked very light.
but was really heavier than ever be-
fore. He appeared 10 have lost some
of his old-t time speed and skill during
the early part of the 6ght. but this
may have been due to Jeifries' marvel
Gus Improvement Corbetts physical
condition appeared to be all that he
had claimed for 1t. He stood many OF
Jefrries' terrific blows without wincing
and came back swing left and right
and landing frequently. but his blows
hardly stung Jeffries.
Jeffries was not only faster stronger
and cleverer than ever before. but he
used his head to better purpose, and.
although Corbett would hit him hard
enough to hurt an ordinary man. JET
fries would bore right in without no.
ticing the blows, and would deliver
telling hits that materially helped in
deciding the result Of the fight.
At first Corbett was very cautious.
and apparently was outpointed by
Jeffries. but later in the fight no
warmed up and showed some OF his
old-time cleverness. From the first.
however, it was generally regarded AZ
a hopeless case for Corbett. He made
a gallant fight, but he never stood
show to win.
After the fight was over, Corbett
quickly recovered. walked over to JET
fries and shook him warmly by the
hand He said:
Jim. you beat me fairly. You
stand alone. No one can touch you.

PARLIAMENT HAS
BEEN PROROGUED

London, Aug. l5.-Both houses of
Parliament assembled yesterday to
wind up the business of the session.
Regarding the complaints that the
government was showing lack of sym
pathy with Macedonia, Mr.. BalfOur
pointed out that one OF the deep
sources of mischief was the discussions
among the Christians. 1t was not the
Turk alone-deep as his guilt undoubt-
sdly was-who was responsible for the
miserable conditions. 1t would be folly
to forget that the Christians commit
ted atrocities on Christians. The gov
ernment was still of the opinion that
the best policy was to support the
Austro- Russian endeavors to improve
the administration.
Subsequently the House was sum-
moned to the House of Lords TO hear
the Kings speech, proroguing Parlia-
ment, read
The most interesting portion of the
speech to America deals with Ireland
1t says:
The warm expressions of good will
with which l was everywhere re-
ceiyed greatly touched me. My visi,
enabled me to realize how much was
being attempted to improve the hous-
ing accommodation for the working
population. stimulate commercial ac.
tivity. advance the methods of agricul-
lure, develop technical education ant
provide for the sick and infrm. Much
remains to be done, but it was with
feelings of the deepest qualification
that l noticed signs of increasing con.
cord among all classes of Ireland, pre-
saying, as ! hope. new era of united
efforts for the general welfare"
Referring to the Irish land bill, tn,
speech says 1t offers inducements IL
the land owners to continue their resi-
dence among their countrymen ant
provides facilities for improving tn,
conditions OF life in the poorer dis
tricts of the West. 1t adds:
This reform, by removing the an
cient causes of social dissension, will.
heartily trust, conduce to the common
benefit of my Irish subjects"

San Francisco. Aug. 15.-James ].
Jeffries. champion heavyweight OF the
world. played with Jim Corbett for
nine rounds and half last night. and
then Corbett's seconds motioned Ref
cree Graney to stop the fight in order
to save their man from needless pun
lshment.
The end came shortly after the be-
ginning OF the tenth round. when JET
fries planted one of his terrific left
swings GU Corbett's stomach. The man
who conquered John l.. Sullivan then
dropped to the floor in agony. and the
memorable scene at Carson. when Bob
Fitzsimmons landed his solar plexus
blow. was almost duplicated.
This time, however. Corbett strug-
gled to his feet and again faced his gi-
Kantic adversary. With hardly a mo-
ment's hesitation. Jeffries swung his
right and again landed on Corbetts
stomach.
Jim dropped to the floor. and then
II was that Tommy Ryan. seeing that
1t was all over motioned to Referee
Graney to stop the punishment.
The fight last night demonstrated be-
yond all doubt that Jeffries stands
alone in his class. He showed remark
able improvement in both speed and
skill. Corbett. during the first part OF
the fight, was almost outpointed, and
the few blows that he landed on JEFF
fries were apparently without sting.
Jeffries was never In better condi-
ton He looked lighter than usual,
and the way he moved about on his
feet and the frequency with which he
countered on Corbett's leads astonished

TRAINS WRECKED
BY CLOUDBURST

Denver, Aug. 16.-A Republican spe-
cial from Buena Vista last night says:
Twenty-nine passengers were injured
in the Rio Grande wreck at Nathrop
last night caused by the collapse of a
bridge. and two trainmen in the wreck
on the Colorado & Southern, caused by
the same washout
Nearly all the passengers injured in
the Rio Grande wreck were able to
proceed west on their trips. and the
few who were taken to the Salida hos
pital are recovering rapidly. None is
seriously injured. say the physicians.
To-day the railroad company COM
pleted a temporary bridge and track
around the wreck and trains are run
ming tonight on time. 1t has been rain
Ing hard again to-day. and in places
the storm was waterspout. which has
caused the railroads to put extra gangs
OF trackwalkers and repairers out to
avoid another disaster.
That more were not injured in the
collapse OF the bridge at Nathrop seems
miraculous. as 243 passengers were on
the train and the two coaches that
were wrecked were crowded.
Assistance was hurried to the scene
the wrecking crew at Minturn not walt
ing for orders when 1t heard of the ac-
cident. while both from Buena Vista
and Salida doctors and nurses were
rushed on on special trains. as 1t was
reported that many had been killed.
Ihe dining car was converted into a
hospital and the injured as soon as
cared for temporarily were placed In
Pullman berths.
In the darkness. with the flood wa
ters OF the creek rushing near the
wrecked cars, families were separated
and friends lost in the tumult, and the
wreck seemed worse than 1t afterward
proved to be.
The wreck on the Colorado & South
ern was caused by a landslide which
was started by the same cloudburst and
was only short distance from the
scene OF the Rio Grande accident. The
two trainmen were caught in the
wreckage. but will recover from their
injuries. The engine and ave cars
were ditched.

WESTERN FEDERATION SENDS
OUT ANSWER TO MINE OWNERS

maintain a partially fair condition
which existed prior to the present
strike, which fact is well known to all
members of the Federation in this dis
trict."
Here follows criticism of the Mine
Owners argument that the mill and
smelter employees should not be anil
ated with the miners.
The Mine Owners Association. in
their statement, would have the MEM
bers of organized labor believe that the
miners of the district are being CO
creed by their officers to take part in
an unjust and an unreasonable strike.
This is certainly too flimsy to be taken
seriously by any member Of the fedora
ton. The operators know too well that
the rank and file of the federation have
implicit confidence and are in full ac-
cord with the action of the officers
whom they have elected and whose
duty it is to manage the details Of the
strike, and will stand as a unit in car
rying out the policy of the organiLa-
ton. in their efforts to establish living
conditions. not only in the mines, but
in the mills and smelters. and main
tain the right to belong to labor or
ganization without endangering the
chances of earning an honest living.
They propose to resume fearlessly
as fast as men can be secured. and all
men will be protected to the last de-
gree which from the language, means
that the man who is willing to sell his
manhood and become Benedict Arm
old to the miners OF the Rocky Noun
tain region will have the protection OF
a corporation armed guard until the
controversy is settled.

The Dolores star., 1903-08-21

Victor. Colo, Aug. 15.-The follow
Ing statement was sent out yesterday
afternoon by the District Union No. i,
Western Federation of Miners, in reply
to the statement issued by the Mine
Owners Association the day before:
THAT philosophical organization OF
dividend grabbers and professional
stock gamblers. commonly known as
the Mine Owners Association. has in
fiicted upon the public a statement that
Is based upon the corporate idea of JUS
tice of coming dividends out of the toll
of the workers, regardless of the condi-
tions that surround their employment
Their statement is the usual corporate
appeal to union strikers when making
their stand for justice or fairer condi-
tions, to renounce their union, the on
ly protection the wage Garner has un-
der the present system of corporation
units, and return TO work under the
protection of their special deputies and
thugs and corporation vassals. 1t is
needless to say that the union man will
stand true to his obligation and hurl
back in the face of the would-be brib-
ers the offer to sell his manhood for
corporation gold. The statement Of the
Mine Owners Association says in part:
The fact that there are no grivances
to adjust. and no unsatisfactory con-
ditions to remedy, leaves the mine OPP
orators but one alternative and that
alternative is that they have the pro-
lection of corporation guard until the
controversy is settled, when the traitor
to his fellow man is to be cast adrift
and become an outcast on the indus
trial field. The fact nevertheless re-
mains that it has required an eternal
vigilance on the part of the unions of
