He Describes His Convincing Expe- rience at a Recent Seance,

Paris May 10.-Professor Cesare LombroSo, the famous Italian crimin- ologist, has surprised Paris by admit ting to a reporter of a Paris paper who interviewed him few days ago that he is a firm believer in spiritual ism and from his own experience that 1t is possible for us to communicate with the spirits of the dead
 Here is what the celebrated scsen- tist says about the seance which con- verted him into a spiritualist: Tt was at Venice that seven well known authors and myself were present at a seance I was absolutely skeptic when one of them tried to communicate with the spirit of q dead countess known to ali of us. Her spirit did not appear bu, We all recognized the voice of the countess eXclaim quite aloud: I cannot come to you for there is a hog among you
 We all looked at one another in surprise but as none of us would admit himself tO be a hog. we all remained in the room. \ moment later the voice cried quite eXcitedly: I will not come to you before that hog has left the room When We still remained the spirit named the person she alluded to by his full name and We insisted that the man leave the room.

A RIOT OF BLOODSHED
 PREVAILS IN MACEDONIA
The Annual Campaign of Murder is Under
 Way
The Country Raded By Bands Ot Servians---The Hand of the Turk Seen In the Devastation of the Stricken RegiOn

COnstantinOple, May 10.-The annual campaign of murder and rapine in Macedonia has begun this year with the invasion of Uskub my a number of Servian bands under the leadership of Peshkovitch and Traiko who are flooding the Bulgarian villages with letters threatening dire vengeance if the Bulgarians do not promptly close their schools.
 The Turkish authorities are favor ing the Servians as they regard their campaign as less dangerous than that of the Bulgarians. Near Salonika there has been a similar revival of Greek activity, and on the Greek frontier are bands counting over a thousand men who are waiting the first opportunity to cross the frontier Salonika itself is terrorized owing to the feud between Greeks and Bulgarians.
 The Turkish troops have practically abandoned all attempts to tackle the insurgent bands, and are cOnfining their energy to searches for hidden arms and men in the villages and ex- torting money from the peasants, who have alrehdy had to pay heavy tolls to Nlit DdiuS. III OdSlOIld anu IItSpts lilt Turks have been particularly extor- tionate and are beating and in some cases torturing the peasants. One man was tortured to death Similar abuses have taken place in the Seres district
 The revival of Greek and Serviar militant activity is having the result that the suppression of the Bulgarian bands decided upon at the recent Macedonian congress will be only par italy carried out. In districts men, aced by Greeks and Servians the Turks will continue to encourage the Bulga- rians.
