Washington, Feb. Ex-senator b.
r. Tillman, of South Carolina, made
the following statement today, when
asked for an opinion on the develop
ments at Lawrence, Mass: "The la
Dor agitators at Lawrence have used
the strike and things that have grown
out Of it for the purpose Of agitation
Shipping the children to New York
and Philadelphia could only have had
one of two objects, to lessen the nun
ber Of mouths to be fed at I.awre. :
or to excite the sympathy of
workers in the two cities named
THE interference by the police with
the last shipment of children was un-
fortunate in more ways than one. 1t
was wholly unwarranted by any law

that are guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton. Had they stopped the first batch
Of children from going to New York
city, 1T would have been a blessing,
for they arrived late in the evening.
during a blizzard, when the ther-
mometer was around zero. and they
must have suffered greatly.
Il think 1t unfortunate that both
houses Of Congress have been asked
to interference, because it appears to
he purely a State matter. However. I
recall that Massachusetts, has claim
ed to be the cradle Of liberty and
was leader of the crusade which re-
suited in the great civil war. The con-
ditions at Lawrence seems to indi-
cate that she has substituted indus
trial slavery for chattel slavery and
horde Of foreigners in the city,
thousands Of whom who cannot speak
the English language, have been inn
ported to furnish labor. They are
! a sad commentary on our lax immi-
grafton laws.
IF the occurrences at Lawrence
last week shall cause Congress to en-
force restrictions such as will keep
out these ignorant and debased peo-
pie. the American people will look up
on the strike at Lawrence as a bless
ing, and it will mark a new epoch of
the war between labor and capital.
The bowling Of the protective tariff
advocates for more protection to
American labor have brought a con-
dition as striking and as epoch max
ing as the Dred Scot decision. Things
, in this country have come to a pretty
pass when the authorities of a State
go SO far as to prohibit people from
sending their own children away.
That is slavery pure and simple.
But when we recollect that such peo-
pie as these have been naturalized
and turned into Republican voters for
a protective tariff, it would soem that
the greed of the manufact. -er had
overreached itself. 1t is time for
sane and sensible people to find just
What is the trouble and apply the
remedy. Congress can stop promis-
cuous and unlimited immigration and
should do so, but Congress cannot le-
gally interfere with States police
powers. We are between the devil
, Of capitalistic greed on one hand and
the sea of Socialism, with the red
flag of the Jacobns, on the other. We
are bound to have some blood let
, ting before the disease is cured.
1T seems like poetic justice that
Massachusetts, chickens, which did so
much wrong and caused so much
misery in the South, are now COM
ing home to rooSt."

the following letter from James o.

letter reads:
Il am very much pleased to learn
that your efforts have been so success

Il consider that many spinners are
, laying in supplies for future needs in
view of the possibilities Of a material
reduction in acreage this year.
when was South last October a
big spinner told me that if cotton
went to 12 cents he expected to
buy sufficient to run him for two
years as he considered il a safe in
vestment at a price which he con-
sidered below the cost of production.
His views undoubtedly represented
the views of numerous spinners all
over the country and when the price
reached a point at which they consid-
cred that the actual cotton could not
be produced, they began buying on
heavy scale. This heavy buying in
my opinion turned the market and
the case with which it has since ad-
Vanced has not only made them

couraged others to follow their ex-

MASSACRE DANGER IS
FOR CHRISTIAN OTTOMANS
Soldiers Believe Their Defeat
Due to Non -Mussulman
Element in Army.

London, Nov. THE Constantinople
correspondent of The Daily News"
sends the following, under date of No
vember 3:
Last night was an unforgettable
night of terror. The arrival of fam
ishing parties of the defeated troops
filled with the conviction that the de-
feat was due to the presence of Chris
tians in the army, created a panic and
nameless fear among the foreign resi-
dents.
ITO show how easily disaster might
arrive, an incident occurred tonight
near the Galata bridge. A Greek in a
sailboat was congratulating his COM
panions on the Bulgarian victories
Suddenly a caique slid alongside and a
Turk swung himself aboard the Greek
boat A knife cleaned and the Greek
fell overheard dead. Then a revolver
cracked and the Turk and his compan-
ions fell.
Immediately there was firing in all
directions, and thirty-six Greeks and
Turks were killed or wounded before a
police boat arrived and quelled the dis
turbance.
Il believe that foreigners are safe,
but no government measures will suf-
fee TO protect Christian Ottomans in
the event Of an outbreak Of rioting.'

London, Nov. THE Constantinople

sends the following:
AT any moment the storm may break
and involve us In the red ruin of mas
sacre and outrage. Soon Constanti-
discordant elements of the population,
Turk, Armenian, Greek, Kurd and a
heterogeneous mass of Europeans, will
be crushed together, and all the old
hatreds will blaze into scorching flame
For FIVE hundred years the Turk has
lorded it over the infidel' The last
hours Of that ascendancy, ii is feared,
may be dyed in blood. We had fore
taste of what Is to come in the news
from Rodosto. Thither cane bands Of
Nizams, driven from Lule Burgas by

Of European civilization vanished like
mist in the morning sunlight, A scene
of horror followed. The town was given
up TO massacre, outrage and pillage.
1t was set on fire in seven places. Chill
dren were hurled into raging flames.
I'm their agony Of fear many tried to
get to the open sea in boats-anywhere
from those human wolves. IN some
cases the boatmen were massacred. In
others those who trusted to the sea
found merciful death beneath the

EARTH SHOCKS IN JERSEY
Atlantic City Residents Suspect
It's Real Quake.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

by tlfSIdpl " h' iii'Nh'.I
Atlantic City, Nov. 6.-Violent shocks,
believed by scores to have been caused
BY an earthquake, shook a big section
here between $3.50 and 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon.
Because of the absence of seismo-
graphs or other recording instruments,
II has been impossible to determine
whether or not there was a real earth
quake. Director Judkins Of the fed
eral Weather Bureau here is Of the
opinion that the tremors were caused
by the settling OF lower strata of the
islands foundation. Fully hundred
persons living from Kentucky avenue
10 Longport, a distance of about six
miles, called the bureau by telephone
TO inquire the cause Of the shocks
which they declared could be distinctly
felt during intervals. This section Of
the island appears to be the only terri
tory affected.
Mrs. John P. Giberson, jr, a guest
at the Hotel Deville, in Kentucky
avenue near the Boardwalk, declares
she was awakened from sound sleep
by the shaking Of the building. Mrs.
Edward Warren. Of Newark; George
E. w. Copeland and II. f. Thompson
Of Philadelphia, and other guests. say
they were alarmed by the repeated
disturbances, which ratified the win
dows furiously at times.

.BULGAR LEFT ADVANCES.
Occupies Heights Near Istran-
dia, Driving Enemy Back.

Vienna, Nov. THE "Reichpost"
correspondent with the Bulgarian army
sends the following dispatch, under date
Of November 6:
After heavy fighting, the Bulgarian
left wing occupied the heights to the
east of TArandia, having driven the
Turkish right wing into the forest re-
gion west of Lake Derkos.
THE Bulgarians are now bringing
their forces from Istrandia and Yeni-
keui to deliver an attack on the Tcha-
taldja position south Of Lake Derkos.
The Bulgarian centre and right wing
are energetically forcing the defeated
Turkish rear guard back along the line,
sixteen miles east Of Tchorlu, and will
execute an attack on the Turkish posi-
tions on both sides OF TchataldJa.
"In the recent fighting the Turkish
artillery supported the infantry very
indifferently 1t seldom held out until
the last moment, thus leaving the in
fantry exposed 10 the attacks OF the
pursuing Bulgarians. AS result the
retreat Of the Turks has almost invari-
ably degenerated into a regular fight.
Before Adrianople the Turks are
vainly trying to break through the Bull
garian ring. Despite the Turkish
searchIights, the Bulgarians frequently
make night assaults.
Fighting is also occurring daily at
Karagar, on the right bank OF the Ma
rita River The failure Of the last
sortie at Adrianople appears TO have al
most broken the garrlsons powers oi
raeistance, and its fall is expected i'm
mediately.'
