FOOTBALL BOOMING.
High School Candidates Held Meet.
 ing this Afternoon.

A meeting of the candidates for the High school football team was held this afternoon after school. Princi- pal Wilby presided and spoke con- cerning the advisabillty of joining the Trinity league. He Is not in favor of the Idea because of the expense of such an undertaking and because of the lack of grounds. He told of the success of last years team which did not belong to any organization and was sure the team this season would prosper as we'll if it remained out of the league The teams of the High schools around the state know that if Waterbury were in the league the boys from the Crosby High would in all probability capture the cup, and therefore they do not like the Idea of their coming in. Captain Butterly will get his men out for practice Mon- day and expects about twenty-five can didates. Edward Herr, George Goss and Dr Monaghan will do the coach- ing. The first game thSe is yet sched- uled is in New Britain October q. Plans for a track team the coming year were also discussed. The local high has never had a track team, but tried to awaken some spirit in this branch of sport for the Fourth of July meet held the past year. The members who had entered had a dispute early in the day and withdrew. consequently as yet the material is an unknown quality. The boys got out for practive this af- ternoon and expect to meet the Nauga- tuck boys in a dual meet the latter part of this month.

ANOTHER PROTEST MADE
American Officials Distracted in
 COnstantinople.

Constantinople, Sept 1.-The Ameri- can minister, MT Leishman, has lodged a protest with the porte against the departure from established procedure in the trial of Ghirkis Vartanian, the assassin of Apik Undijian, the authori- ties having prevented the American consular officers from seeing Vartanian for the purpose of examining his claims to American citizenship and de- termining whether he was entitled to American protectAu. Had yartanians naturalization been recognized con sular official would have attended the trial and seen that Vartanian was given all the necessary protection. The authorities, however, consistently ob- structed American action, hurried the trial through and condemned the pris- oner to death before the settlement of this question, the principle of which the United States has always maln- tained and which the porte has ire quently declined to recognize In the case of naturalized Armenians until compelled to do so by pressure.

BAKU NEWS ALARMS.

J
 ST. PETnhi,p unu, ..pt. 1.-The news from Baku received up to the time of the filing of this dispatch Is of the gloomiest character. The Armenian and Tartar warning factions now ap- pear to be entirely beyond control. The streets of Baku seem to be unsafe for the inhabitants and the force of troops to be inadequate to restrain the ants in the surrounding region. Ac- cording to reliable reports, the troops have been forced to withdraw from the suburbs of Balakhan, where on Tues day the rioters set fire to the oil works, and that place Is now in the hands of the Tartars, who have completed the work of destruction and who, it is said, massacred the inhabitants who did not accompany the troops in their retire ment. Telephonic and railroad com munication between Baku and the sub urban oil centers is cut, and late last night it, was reported that the wires Into Baku were down.
 The viceroy of the Caucasus has dis patched re-enforcements of troops from ITifis, but owing to the conditions throughout the whole of the southwest lern Caucasus 1t Is thought that even with these endorsements the troops Iwill be inadequate to deal with the sit llation. In the suburban region the light is desperate and the soldiers are lsing artillery.
 Representatives of the oil industry ! hre are utterly Respondent, and they 6ciare that on the basis of the tele- gams so far received more than half O the industry in the Baku region has ben wiped out and that the Ire is .mking rapid inroads into the remain dG of the oil territory.
 The Baku representative of promi- nat oil company has telegraphed to hi St. Petersburg headquarters as fol- loVs:
 It is no longer the question of saw in; our property, but that of getting ou alive"
 4 press dispatch from Baku ap- prUed by the censor says;
 ''rhe rival factions are concentrating in heir own quarters here. The situa- tio1 is exceedingly tense. Murders are freMent Cannonading Is heard from tim, to time. In the Moslem quarter the ,atrols have been fired upon. Bala- khaI Is on fire, and the Armenians are surrunded by armed villagers, iappar- sntl. Tartars,' and the cannonading then is unceasing. The fire continues in tue black town quarter and In Bi- bieba. Energetic measures and heavy re-EHorcements of troops are imme- dia ey necessary"
 OAR adyices state that hot fight Is goiIk on between Armenians and Tar tars Tt Bibiebat and that great fires are till raging at Sabunto and No mank fed by immense tanks of naph- tha, t which there are 1900 in that regioi and that the connagration at Bakul where up to last evening the tanks pf the Society of Baku were in- tact, steadily augmenting. Under these pnditions, with fighting going on in the streets and with hurricane blowing, the advices say, it Is almost impossible to extInguish the fires.
