of the revolution threatens to shift
rom Adrianople 10 Monastir. The
actions OF the Turkish troops have ex-
tsperated the Macedonians, who swear
they will be reyenged. The Turks
threaten in case of an outbreak to pur-
sue the guilty parties into Bulgaria.
Such action would undoubtedly pre-
cipitate war.
BERLIN. Aug. 27.-Local Anzeiger
declares that the Macedonians intend
TO let loose Asiatic plaugue, cholera
.tnd smallpox germs in the water sup
ply of Constantinople. with a view to
making the Turkish capital horror
spot. The paper says that the sultan

lions TO safeguard the city's water
supply.

LANSING, Mich, Au. 27.-There
is no reason why President Roosevelt
should do any worrying over Michi-
gan. He will receive the enthusiastic
support OF the Michigan delegation
to the national convention next year,
and no matter who is nominated for
governor he will carry the state by
he usual large majority received by
The Republican party in recent cleo
lions. This statement is based on
the assumption that things viii re-
main as they are now. No protest is
heard against Roosevelt policies in
Michigan. Instead there is hearty in
dorsement of all his principles.
One year ago there was considerable
FEELING among the beet sugar manuiac
turers and raisers against the presi
dent on account of his demand for rec
iprocity with Cuba, and lower tariff
on Cuban sugar. This feeling has
been greatly allayed since most of the
beet sugar factories of the state have
come into the possession of the trust,
and. beet raisers have discovered that
the industry can be successfully car
ried on in spite of tariff reduction.
Michigan will send no more delegates
TO Washington to protest against reci-
procity with Cuba, and the presidents
policy will be generally indorsed by
the Republicans of the state.
GLASGOW. Aug, 27.-The newspa-
per Scottishman today says: Away

qualification is that he can foot the
bills" The paper says some RESPONSE
BILE yacht club should take the matter

club yachtsmen to present a new in
ternational cup and invite Americans
to try TO win it on this side of the At
lantic.
