Details Of the massacre of Bulgarians
by Mussulmans August 2 at kotscha'
ma, fifty miles southwest of here,
show the butchery lasted three hours

and six other persons were Killed.
Five minutes later, a second bomb ex'
pioded in the same place, causing
further fatalities. Soon afterWard,
Mussulmen appeared armed with guns,
revolvers, knives and clubs, and car
ried out a wholesale butchery, Turk
ish fficials looking on.
Later on Turkish troops arrived
but instead of arresting the Mussu'
men, they made house to house
search for Bulgarians, many of whom
they drove to prison with their hands
bound.
All were Christians. One hundred
and forty dead bodies were found
more than a hundred being piled VI
in the court yard of the Bulgarian
church. Much looting was done.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1O.-The
department of commerce and labor
report regarding the Telefuncken
Wireless tower at Sayville, l.. l., de-
clares that it is backed by German
capital. that all of the apparatus is
of German manufacture and that the
largest set of instruments is intended
to work with the wireless station at
Nalen, 3.400 miles away.
Officials of neither the state or
navy departments had any comments
to make as to the probable attitude
of this government toward the affair,
in view of the senate's recent resolu
ton which declared the United States
would regard with grave concern any
acquisition of territory of strategetic
value on the American continent by
any interests which might be undel
foreign influence.
The official report of the investiga
ton of the Sayville station says il

Washington, D. c., Aug. 10.-Secre-
tary Knox today was nominated by
President Taft a special representa-
tive of the United States at the fun

rival. The ship will steam directly
to Yokohama. It was admitted at
the state department today that while
in Japan, Mr.. Knox would talk to Wis
count Uchida, minister of foreign af-
fairs. The viscount formerly was am
b&ssador at Washington.
A rear admiral of the navy and
either a major or brigadier general OF
the army probably will be assigned
as aides to Mr.. Knox. R. S. Miller.

friendliness of the United States to
Japan and its people.

TAFT TO SIGN
PANAMA BILL

Washington, Aug. 10.-President
Taft told several callers today that
he expected to sign the Panama Can
a! bill passed by the senate yesterday
carrying provisions against the use
OF the canal by railroad-owned ships
and granting free tolls to American
vessels. The President is said to have
declared that some of the provisions
OF the measure did not meet with his
views entirely, but that he expected
to approve it.
Railroad and legal experts in CON
gress hold the view that the senate
had authorized highly important eX-
tension of the power of the interstate
commerce commission in adopting the
Bourne amendment to the Panama
Canal bill. The provisions would au
thorize the commission to divorce
competing railroads and steamship
( lines wherever they were found to
operate to the detriment of the pub
lie and would extend powers of regu
lation over water routes. Such con
( troll has long been desired by the com
mission but the water lines have
never conceded the right of the com
mission to supervise their business
! or their relations with the railroads.
Little difficulty is expected in re
conciling the differences between the
senate and the house on the bill.
GETTING READY TO QUIT.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 10.-Th'
senate today showed a disposition Il
clean up the appropriation bills ant
adjourn. Several senators askin:
consideration of special measures il
which they are interested failed to ge
a quorum. The bill for a department
OF labor, the vocational educationa
bill, and the Coosa river dam bill wer
among these. The way was cleare
for the completion of the postoffic
appropriation bill.
The steel bill is at the Whit
House The sugar bill and the excis
, tax bill still are in conference.
