RECORD PAY ROLL SATURDAY;
STREETS ALIVE LAST NIGHT
STORES WERE FILLED, MOVING
PICTURES WELL PATRoNIzED,
AND EVERYBODY HAPPY.

Brunswick had a record payroll
yesterday and in consequence the
streets, stores and amusement places
were filled with happy orderly,
crowd.
In addition to the regular Saturday
payrolls of the city were added the
monthly payrolls of the railroads and
terminal companies which amounted
to many thousands of dollars.
The streets of the city had a metro
politan appearance and the stores
were filled to overfiowing with peo-
pie, some doing their regular weekly
trading, but the majority purchasing
their fall and winter clothing and 9TH
er supplies. All the stores presented
a very busy appearance and the mer-
chants report the largest single days 5
business of the year.
Taken as whole the people of the
city are in very prosperous condi-
tion and is in better shape financially
than for years. Employment is at
hand for every man who wishes to
work; in fact, there is complaint on
the scarcity of labor.
A spirit of optimism prevails on
every hand and the "get-together
policy of the business interests seems
to have extended over the whole city
which is bound to react to the good
Of all.

CAUSE LITTLE WORRY.

Recalls Turkey More Than Held It's
Own With Russia, Roumania and
Montenegro Combined and Would
Have Less Difficulty Now.

New York, Oct. 5-The steamer
Macedonia, which was commandeered
by the Greek consul general as she
was about to depart several days ago,
sailed today for Piraeus with 10000
rounds of ammunition, many tons of
powder and 400 fighting men of the
Greek reserve army aboard. Within
an hour she was followed by the Mar
tha Washington with more than 1000
lighting men aboard, and it was an
nounced that a third vessel, the Ma
! donna, would sail on Monday for Pi-
raeus with 700 more Greek reservists.
Nearly 1900 Greek reservists, eager
to return to their colors and partici-
pate in the impending war with Tur-
key, were left on the pier when the
Macedonia. sailed. Officials of the line
had planned to carry 1900 passengers
aboard her, but United States inspec-
tors enforced the law, which prohi-
bits placing so many passengers In
close proximity to munitions of war.
Nearly every passenger aboard the
Macedonia and the Martha Washing
ton paid for his own passage, amount
ing to about $37. All came from New
York and vicinity.
George Couzaulis, an officer of the
: Pan-Hellenic union, siad that approx
imately 10000 trained fighting men
would sail for Greece within the next
few weeks.
| The Ottoman ambassador TO the
United States, Youssouf Zia Pasha.
who is at present in New York
city, summarizes the Ottoman view
of the Balkan situation in state
| ment published here today. The state
ment says in part:
The pretext for attacking Turkey
in the case of Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece, is their dissatisfaction with
the treatment of Macedonia. The re-
cent disturbances arose from the de-
sire of the new government, after the
of parliamentary government, to de-
centralizee the administration in some
degree. There was no idea of erecting
the provinces into anything like states
but it seemed desirable that many
local affairs should be settled by the
local authorities. That measure of
elf-government has proved satisfac-
tory in many parts of the empire.
A Mixed up Affair.
In Macedonia, however, the popu-
lation is inextricably mixed, Serfs,
Bulgars, Greeks and Turks are neigh
bors and often hostile to each other.
Instead of combining to develop their
local administration into a form of
self government as Ottoman subjects,
each nationality began to conspire for
autonomy, each hoping to get the bet
ter of the others if the revolt was
successful, and each encouraged by
the Independent state of it's own ma
tionality, which hopes to annex the
whole country to it's territory"
The ambassador showed little anx-
iety over the reported outbreak of
hostilities. He recalled that Turkey
was able to more than hold her own
against Russia, Roumania and Monte
negro combined, and thought the

sanguinary battles fought in Central
America in many years, yet technical
ly the United States is not engaged

AS defined by the state department.
the status of the relations between
the United States and Nicaragua is
one of friendship. What Rear Admi-
raj Switzerland has done in attack
ing the Nicaraguan rebels is declared
to have been purely in pursuance OF
a duty imposed upon the navy many
times in the stormy history Of Cen
tral America-that of forctbly pro-
tecting American lives and property,
as we'll as of the citizens of European
nations
The admiral has strictly refrained
from intervening in any way between
the warning factions in Nicaragua,and
has confined himself entirely to open
ing railway communication and main
tanning it free from interruption, so
that the large foreign element scat
tered through the Nicaraguan towns
might be able to receive food.
