America and Canada, today began their
ninth annual convention.
: The two principal matters before the con-
vention will be the general strike of the

tant bridges has been crippled by the DIFF
ferences existing between the builders and
their men, among them being the new

passed a comfortable night and woke UP

suffering from mild attack of typhoid

said that it was recurrence of an old in

recovery is taken as indicating that DR..
Pritchard was correct. The physicians,
however, have not decided on the exact
nature of the envoy's Illness.
Baron oKmura is out of all danger and
will not require the attendance of Dr. Del
afield who departed for the country to-

RUSSIANS AND PORTE.
Friction Caused by Bosphorus Fortifi-
cations.

CONSTANTINOPLE, September 1S.-The
steady progress of work on the new forti-
fications off~the Bosphorus is causing fric-
ton between the Russians and the porte.
The fortiflcations were hastily commenced
at the time of the mutiny on board the Rus
sian battleship Kniaz Potemkine, Turkey
seizing upon this pretext as means for
carrying out a scheme OF fortifcations
which she had long desired, but which had
always been opposed by Russia. 1t is un-
derstood that the question was discussed at
the recent audience which the Russian am
bassador, M Zineovieff. had with the sui
tan, the ambassador pointing out that the
further fortification of the straits was In
compatible with friendly relations between
Turkey and Russia. Meanwhile the works
are being actively pushed. though they can
hardly be completed for several months.
The porte continues its irreconcillable at
titude regarding the proposed international
financial control of Macedonia.
