ALBANIANS AND
TURKS FIGHTING

Constantinople, May Late official dis
patches received here state that the fight
ing at Kachanik Pass between the Turk
ish troops and the Albanians lasted IS
hours. Finally the Albanians made dis
orderly retreat on all sides, leaving many
prisoners. The Albanians lost 500 men and
the Turks 100 men.
The great loss sustained by the former
was due to the fact that they had no ar
tillery while the government troops were
amply supplied. 1t is believed by the Of
ficials that the recapture of this impor-
tant pass has broken the backbone of the
rebellion, and it is stated that the in
habitants of Ipek and Prostina have de.
clared their loyalty to the sublime porte.

Wee, modest, crimson-tippe ,fowr
Thous met me in an evil hour:
For l maun crush amang the stoure

To spare thee now is past my pow'r
Thou bonnie gem.
Alas, it's no thy neebor sweet,

Bending thee 'mang the dewy weet.

When upward-springing, blythe, to greet
The purpling east.
Cauld blew the bitter. biting north
Upon thy early humble birth;
Yet, cheerfully thou glinted forth
Amid the storm
Scare read'd above the parent earth

Unseen. alane.
There, In thy scanty mantle clad.
Thy snowy bosom sunward spread,
Thou lifts thy unassuming head
In humble guise;
But now the share uptears thy bed
And low thou lies!
Such Is the fate of artless maid
Sweet how'ret Of the rural shade,

And guileess trust
Till she, like thee all solid is laid
Low L the dust.
Such Is the fate of simple Bard,
On life's rough ocean luckiess starr'd

have been of incendiary origin, de-
stroyed property covering one-half of a

Terra Gotta company's property. The
Freund Roofing company also sustained
loss The combined loss Is estimated at
$15O000. The two companies have afal-
lated and some months ago difficulties
with parties growing out of an effort to
uEicnize the two places resulted in a
wider gap. One was conducted on the
open, shop plan.

The bu4lWcBH SttuutlOM
Henry Clews in his Saturday review
says in part:
ut is quite certain that we are in fol
a period OF fresh tariff agitation during
the coming autumn. The aggressive at
titude of Washington towards railroads
and other corporations is also much dis
liked in financial circles, owing largely
to the uncertainty which 1t produces
Republican party squabbles also have ar
unsettling influence.
when it comes to the business situa
ton, that is undoubtedly spotty. Reac
tionary tendencies are observable ir
many directions, and the trend of nearly
all commodity prices is downward. Con
sumption has been checked by higf
prices, and here and there are signs Of
overproduction; notably in the iron trade
where an organized restriction Of pie
iron is In prospect. There is also more
or less continued curtailment in the cot
ton goods industry, due to high prices
and complications arising from the fiuc
tuations in cotton. The reaction in bust
ness, however, is one which should, ere
long, prove beneficial, being more in th'
nature of a general readjustment to {
lower price level, which, when the limi
has been reached, will prove stimulating
and wholesome. There Is no doubt tina
as soon as buyers are convinced tina
bedrock is reached a fresh rush o.
orders will be received.
Attention is now being closely rivetet
upon the crop outlook. Wheat prospect
are for a full crop at good prices. Thu
corn CROP however, is in many respect
more desirable crop than wheat. ant
the outlook is for q very large acreag
of this grain. In cotton the reports o
damage have been much exaggerated
Probably not more than a third of tn
crop has been planted, and the damag
was confined to comparatively small
localities. 1t is not too late for replant
ing, and there is consequently ampl
time for recouping all the losses thus ia
suffered. A. large cotton acreage is prac
tically certain Considerable damage t
the fruit crops has occurred in certain
sections Of the west. but here. too, tn
injury was greatly exaggerated, an
other section of the country are know
to possess very favorable promise. Re
garding the crop situation as a Who'll

Payne University Has Successful Year
Under President Archer.
The twentieth annual commencement
OF Payne university, Selma. Ala, and
the first under President DR.. Hiram e.
Archer, recently held. was the most
brilliant In the history Of the institu-
ton. Throughout the commencement
the chapel was crowded. The meeting
of the board of trustees coincident
with the commencement was a new
feature.
The baccalaureate sermon was
preached by the Rev. W. B. johnson Of
Birmingham. 1t was a masterpiece of
pulpit oratory and one of the most
powerful sermons ever preached in
Selma. The service was beautiful
throughout and very impressive.
The professional was headed by Bish-
op h. B. Parks and Ira T. Bryant, Sec
retary Of the A. NJ. e. Church Sunday

ed by $50 ministers and trustees and
men of prominence. Then came the

the department of sewing.
Bishop H. B. Parks delivered the
commencement address. The meeting
Of the trustees was an enthusiastic
one, more than 5000 having been
raised for the university. President
Archer submitted his report, In which
he turned over $1,000 in cash to the
board as result Of good management
In running the institution during the
past year. Nothing like this has ever
been done before, and the board was
enthusiastic over this proof of execu-
tive acumen.
Dr. Archer was reelected president
Of the university by acclamation. The
full teaching force was reelected save
one from the English department, re-
signed. Miss johnson, graduate from
Wilberforce university and the Chica-
20 Training school. and Miss Detson
