EXPOSITION HAS ROUGH SAILING Gloomy View Taken of James,
 town Pr0ifc. MONEY IS TOD HARD ID GEI Senator Fulton of Oregon Thinks Next Congress Will Take Up Tariff
 Revision In
 Earnest.
MONEY IS TOD HARD ID GET

Washington, September 3o.-(Special.)- Friends of the Jamestown exposition. pro- iected for 1907 in commemoration of the first English speaking settlement in the United States, are evincing concern about the fate of the application to be made to Congress for large appropriation for the exhibits and general management of the undertaking.
 Even the Virginia delegation In Con- gress is not united in a rosy view or the outlook. Last years failure to secure anywhere near the amount desired cou- pled with the need for economy in the next congress discourages the advocates of the appropriation.
 It is known that before the bill passed by the Virginia legislature appropriating money for the project was presented to Governor Montague for his signature, he expressed doubt whether he ought to sign it. He did sign 1t. however.
 Since that time, the chances Tor the eA- positions success as a great national uh- dertaking have been more or less clouoeo' The action of the last Congress Tn allow ing the management a mere pittanee was n great setback If that cannot be onset this winter, there will be gloom among the promoters. The death of Gen. F1tz- hugh Lee, the president, was also set back to the undertaking. General Leo had visited nearly all of the states east of the Mississippi river and had done great deal of good work for the exposi- ton.

OPPOSES UNION
 OF TWO CHURCH BODIES

ity of the membership of our church are earnestly-not to say bitterly-opposed to the proposed union. If proof be needed to verify this statement we promise to fur nish 1t before the time arrives for you to submit your report. In this connection we call your attention to the fact that a very small majority of our Presbyteries voted for union-only three more than the requisite number and three of these voting for union. carried by majority of but one vote in each Presbytery; and. counting the individual vote in all the Presbyteries. the total vote for union was 1S40, while the total vote against union was 1477, showing a clear majority of 1S7 against union. These 1S7 Presbyteries you will we'll understand, are the expo- nents of the sentiments of at least 10000 communicants.
 It may be granted that some of the opposition in our church Is founded on prejudice, yet. it is prejudice so deep- seated that within the present generation it cannot be obliterated under the most delicate treatment. and with treatment which smacks of coercion. It will increase with age.'

Favors Tariff Revision.

"I cannot speak for Congress, but my own view Is that we ought to give more authority to the interstate commerce commission or abolish it altogether. It IS almost useless as 1t Is now. My idea would be to give the commission authority to inquire into charges of discrimination and rebate and to fix maximum rates. am not in favor of the proposition to per- init the commission to name maximum and minimum rates
 Senator Fulton of Oregon gave express sion to the above opinion tonight. Tt seems to me-" continued he, that the department of justice might be able to enforce the laws prohibiting rebates, and other violations in case the commission be abolished.
 "As teetariff revision, my opinion Is that the coming session should take up tarin revision in earnest and make changes In some of the schedules. l do not believe the revision should be radical or that 1t should be made for the purpose of in- creasing the revenues of the government. There are other ways of doing that. The revision should be for the purpose of do- ing away with some of the injustices that have grown up with the changes in our commercial history. Where the existing schedules result in unreasonable profits to manufacturers they should be changed, but the protective principle must be main- taned throughout"

FORCED TO RESIGN.
Imperial Government Opposes Signing
 of Antl-Peace Memorials.

Tokio, September 3o.-4:So D. m)-Naka- mura Taksutaso one of the six profes- sors who signed an anti-peace memorial to the throne, was compelled to yield to pressure brought upon him and rendered his resignation, which was accepted to- day. As he was professor in the Nobles school, which Is under the jurisdiction of the household minister. he had to yield, hut this procedure does not apply to other professors, who hold seats in the Imperial university, as that institution is controlled by the minister of education. The outcome of the governments proce- dure against these professors is being watched with keen interest.

ing despite the apparent fluctuations in the number of new cases daily. The very fact that only thirty-one new cases were reported on Saturday, which heretofore has always been a record day of the week. Is a source of satisfaction. Ten of the new cases are above Canal street, and four of the new foci. Three more cases were recorded from the Jefferson parish side of ths river, two in McDonoghville and one in Gretna. The latter Is a negro preacher. Of the deaths. one occurred in the French asylum on St. Ann street and the other was at the lower end of the city. It is quite a coincidence that tho number of cases to date should reach an even 5000 on September 30.
 Surgeon White left early this morning on a special train to meet the local health officials in the sugar parishes. and dis cuss the quarantine questions with them Nothing has been heard from him since he left, and he is not expected to return before Monday
 The only interesting news from the parishes Is the uncovering of two positive and one or two suspected cases in and around Covington by the local health of- ficer, whose diagosis was confirmed by Dr. Brady. the state boards medical in- spector. The parish health officer re- ports that the Neuhaus infection came  of concealed infection in that vicinity

ELECTRICAL WORKERS OUT. All 33,o00 Workers Affected By Strike
 In Germany.

Berlin, September BOA lockout in three of the greatest electrical companies in Berlin began this afternoon. It affects all the factories of the Allgemein. the Siemens-H Halske and the Siemens-Schuck- ert companies. except one lamp factory. and throws about 330o0 workmen out of employment.
 As yet the trouble has not affected the entire electrical industry. but 1t shows signs of spread. The employees of the Berlin electrical works, which generates nearly all the electricity consumed for power and traction purposes in Berlin, met this evening to consider a sympath- etic strike but deferred action over Sun day night in order to await the result of a conference to be held Sunday morning between the three companies associated and the employees.

Massacres Arc More Common

TURKS ARE RESPONSIBLE
London Tourist Returns and Tells of the Awful Scenes He Wit messed on Every
 Hand.

London. September 9O.-W. A. Moore. secretary of the Balkan committee, who has returned from a two months tour or Macedonia said to the Associated Press today:
 "The wanton slaughter of Christians in Macedonia continues under the eyes of Europes representatives. Crossing tho Bulgarian frontier the first news to greet me was an unpardonable massacre in the little village of KonopnItza which oc- cured three days before my arrival. On visiting the village I found the bodies of man, two women, a girl and three children still unburied and laid out in the Christian church. The woman had been shot but l saw one child whose head had been crushed probably with the butt of a gun. The wounded had been taken to Egri Palanka, an hours ride distant, where resides the Austrian rep resentatlve in charge of the district.
 Deal Revenge on Christians.
 "The story of the affair is a repetition of the oft-told tales. An insurgent band visited the village and demanded food on departing. The Turkish authorities learn ing of the visit, dispatched body of troops which, discovering no insurgents in the place, dealt out their revenge on the Christians. The observation of tha European officers seldom deters the Mo- hammedans from staying Christians. Ths
 Austrian officer in the Koumanova dis trict has charged of 119 villages, where most brutal murders are of daily occur l renee, and are not noticed by the author | ites. In the Monastir district. the Italian l officers sleep with the Turkish army, in | order to observe its methods of sup pressing insurgents This. however, only
 prevents special detaehments from perpe- 1 trating crime.
 "The village of Mogla in which an AL
 banian brigand was assassinated. was l punished by the Turkish troops. Nine un- | armed peasants were killed and arms
 were placed beside them in a corn field. | in order to deceive the Italian officers who were invited to inspect the Insur- | gents but the rifles were of the pat tern used by the troops in the Monastir district.
 No Hope for Macedonians. ',Brgandage continues flagrantly and | life and property are less safe before | Russia and Austria were given the man datory power to reform the country two years ago. The gendarmere officers ad-
 init their inability to protect the popula-
 tion and several of them told me that
 they had so reported to their govern | ments. The Macedonlans have no hope | left"
 MT Moore says the country is still
 swarming with Asiatic troops which have | not been removed since the mobilization | against Bulgaria in 1903.
 | James Bryce, M F., president of the Balkan committee is now touring Mace- donia and observing conditions there pre- paratory to laying the result of his tour before the British parliament.

New Ministers Expected.

Washington. September 3O.-In view of the fact that Norway and Sweden have become separate nations and will in the future be represented by different min isters. Washington will probably lose the Nestor of the foreign representatives in this city. Mr. A. Grip, the minister of Sweden and Norway to this country since 1889, is a Norwegian and it Is believed that he will follow the example of many of his contemporaries and swear allegiance to the new flag of Norway. resigning his present position and placing himself at the disposal of the Norwegian govern ment.

Rock Island, H., September 3o.-Mrs. Clarence Markham of Cambridge. near here, in a fit of temporary insanity to- day killed her seven children with an axe after which she placed their bodies on a bed, saturated 1t with coal oil and set fire to it.
 She then hacked her throat with knife and threw herself on the burning bed. Neighbors rescued her but she was SO badly burned that she died soon after she had made q confession. The eldest child was 9 years old, the youngest baby in arms
