A DESPERATE MAN.
Violently Insane. Attempts to
See President Roosevelt.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Officers on
duty at the White House had two
desperate encounters today with an
armed insane man. who insisted on
seeing the President. Revolvers
were brought into play, though not
for the purpose of killing. One of
the officers, James Ciscle, suffered a
severe laceration of the right arm,
which may disable that member per-
manently.
The crank is now in custody, and
gives the name of Peter Elliott, of
Minneapolis, but being a Swede. the
name is probably assumed.
Elliott's appearance at the White
House had been anticipated, for he
addressed letter to the President a
week or more ago announcing his
coming. He first called at the exec
utive Office adjoining the White
House. and asked for Mr.. Roosevelt.
That was at o'clock this morning.
Being told that the President would
see him next Monday he smilingly
took his departure.
Two hours later lie went to the
main entrance of the White House,
and when the officers at the door en-
deavored to turn him away he be-
came violent and a fierce struggle en-
sued in the spacious vestibule.
Elliott was finally elected and
hustled into police van. There the
second encounter occurred. The
prisoner drew a revolver from the
right side pocket of his trousers, and
attempted to shoot Ciscle. The Off
Ger grabbed his hand and wrenched
the weapon from his grasp.
The prisoner tried to escape by
jumping out the window, and the
jagged glass cut deep into Ciscle's
arm. Elliott showed such unusual
strength that Ciscle discharged his
revolver to bring needed assistance.
There is no certainty that the man
had any murderouf designs upon the
President. He says he loves Mr..
Roosevelt, voted for him for Vice
President in 1900, and will vote for
him again. The President himself
was not at all perturbed over the
sensational episode, and seems to re-
gard it as a mere incident. He show
ed his nonchalance by afterward
taking stroll on the terrace con-
Meeting his official residence.

CRITICAL SITUATION
In the BdlkinS and Mace
dOnid.
Russia and Austria. Act in
Concert. CenSure the Sui
tan for Not Acting
Vigorously.

Dispatches containing reports of
burning villages, slaughtering
troops, and prosecuting helpless men,
women and children, from the seat
of disturbances in the Balkans and
Macedonia but IL Is impossible to de-
termine what amount of truth they
contain.
The following despatch shows that
Russia and Austria are acting In con-
cert; that they censure Turkey for
not acting vigorously to stop out
RACES; and state that they are deter
mined to see that the refugees are re-
turned to their homes, and burned
villages and churches shall be
restored. This is evidently declar.
alton that these two powers will oc-
cupy the district in which the dis
turbances have occurred, and to do
what Turkey has not done, restore
order and protect the people. What
further they may mean, the future
may determine:
flcnudf oCt- f-As an outcome oil
the conference between the car and
Emperor Francis Joseph, at Muevz
steg, the governments of Austria
and Russia have sent Identical tele
grams to the ambassadors of those
countries In Constantiuople. The
kilograms state that Austria-Hun
garyand Russia adhere to the task
of pacification undertaken and are
resolved to persevere with the pro
gram drawn up at the beginning o.
the year.
They then criticize the soldiers Of
the Sublime Porte for lack of zeal IN
suppressing the uprisings. and de
plore the fact that many excessei
have been committed.
They also assert that they are full
ly determined to render any humani
tartan action necessary to facilitat,
the repatriation of the refugee ant
restoring the villages, churches ant
schools destroyed by fire.
