WAR THREATENS TURKEY.
Hostile Races Ready to Fly at Each
Others Throats.

Constantinople, Feb. 2O.-The old
troubles in Macedonia threaten to
break out again as badly as ever and
strong measures are needed to restore
tranquility in Asia minor, especially in
Diarbekir, Kaisariyeh and Bassoora,
where the Mussulmans and Armenians
are about to fly at each others throats.
One of the strange symptoms devel-
oping here is the fact that naval Off
GERS are holding meetings on all war
ships "to consider the attitude of thel
new minister of marine." Army Off
GERS are also holding meetings.
Turkey before long may be convulsed
with massacres and civil war, although
the pressure exerted by the menacing
external situation tends to prevent an
outbreak fof internal strife.

MONTANA STILL AFTER JAPs
Exclusion Memorial Expected to Pass
Segregation Fight Ahead.

Helena, Feb. 17.-After having can
vassed the house thoroughly, Repre-
sentative Norton, of Silver Bow, an
nounces that the memorial of which he
is the author, asking that congress
continue in force the Chinese exclusion
act and enlarge its scope to include all
Mongolians, will pass the house by a
large majority. There are many mem
bers of labor unions in the house, and
many other members whose constitu-
ents are largely union men and they
will, they declare, support the measure.
At the present time the bill is in the
committee on labor, but a report will
be made this week.
Speaker Mcdowell referred the bill
which would exclude Mongoilans from
the public schools to the committee on
military affairs and Norton declares
he will have it re-referred to the COM
mittee on education. That this bill
will not pass seems certain.

DECLARES WAR THREATENED
California Legislator Says He Saw
Letters to Prove 1t.

San Francisco, Feb. 17.--That this
country was on the verge of war with
naval power of the Orient recently
was the assertion of State Senator
Richard ]. Welch, who is here with a
legislative committee which is insti-
eating the Islais creek project. Welch
said:
eff you had seen the correspondence
that passed between President Roose-
welt, Governor Gillett and Speaker
Stanton that have seen, you would
know that there was only short time
ago the danger of conflict between
two great naval powers of the Pacific. !"
This statement was made in answer
to the argument of an opponent of the
Islais creek project that supporters of
the plan had attempted to gain sup
port for it by maintaining that a gov
ernment navy yard would be estab-
lished at Hunters point. Welch insist
ed that such navy yard would be
built within the next ten years.

DEATHS MAY TOTAL $50.
Acapulco Dazed by Theater Horr' r.,
Due to Incompetence.


Mexico City, Feb. 17.-Late dis
patches from Acapulco, where the
Flores theater was burned while the
structure was crowded at a perform
ance given in honor of Governor Dami-
an Flores, of the state of Guerrero,
bring varying estimates of the loss OF
life. They agree in declaring, how
ever, that the dead will exceed 200,
while some place the figure as high as
$50. Most of the dead were burned
beyond recognition.
Acapulco is dazed by the catastrophe.
All business at the port has ceased,
the shops have closed and the people
are crowding the churches where mass
es are being celebrated for the dead.
The fire, which spread with incredi-
BILE rapidity through the immense wood
en- and adobe structure, was due, it is
charged, to the carelessness and mex
perience of the operator of the moving
picture machine. There was an explo-
sion, burst of flame, which ignited
the bunting used for decoration, and in
few minutes the entire structure was
in flames.
The exits were all in the front part
of the building. which was almost i'm
mediately turned into wall of fire and
the people were entrapped. The wo-
men and children suffered most and
comprise majority of the dead.
A search of the ruins has thus far re-
vealed no recognizable human form.
Charred bodies. from which legs and
arms have been burned, have beer
taken from the ruins, and as there was
no chance of identifying them, all have
been buried in common trench.

Imprisonment before the court succeed

Progress, slow but constant, is again the re-

confidence is, indeed, more notable than the in
crease in the volume of trade, but the revival

sions as to justify the most hopeful outlook for
