SLAIN IN BIG RIOT
STRIKING GOLD MINERS START
FIRE IN JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
1 MEN DEAD; SO WOUNDED
Women Lead Rioters in Street Battle
with Mounted Pollce-Trains Held;
Up and Big Buildings Burned to the
Ground.

johannesburg, July -Four civil
ians were killed and fifty wounded in
riot here Saturday connected with
the gold miners strike. The cavalry
made repeated charges against the
mob and wild confusion continues
throughout the streets of the city.
The situation existing here was new
er equaled. The mob, which seized
the railway station at Johannesburg
and the Braamfontein sidings half a
mile away, was for time unrestrict-
ed masters of the situation and held.
up all outgoing trains.
Later, when the police got the up
per hand, an attempt to dispatch the
southern mails resulted In savage
onslaught by the mob with sticks and
stones. Mounted troops charged them
and the loiterers retaliated with
stones and bullets.
The park station soon was in flames
and incendiaries began firing other
large buildings. The Star building
was ignited front and rear and soon
was a mass of flames.
At first the troops and police re-
Trained from using their firearms, but
later fired over the heads of the riot
ers, who continued to shower them
with stones and bottles Then sec
ond volley was fired into the crowd,
somewhat cowing the rioters.
Reinforcements Of dragons, by
continued charges, finally scattered
the mob.
A. nff fho
headquarters where the authorities
fired upon them and compelled them
to retreat They soon renewed, the
attack, however, whereupon the drag.
oons charged and dispersed them.
Intermittent firing took place in sew
eral parts of the city.
The conflict started when the strik-
! ers attempted to hold meeting in
the market place and it was sup
pressed by the police. This inflamed
the strikers, and in various parts OF
| the city rioting began, For time
even the troops were powerless to
check the mob Strikers forced the
| tram-car drivers to take their cars to
! their depDts Then, headed by WON
en- bearing white flags, they seized the
municipal power station, expelled the
| engineers and cut off the electric sup
ply of the city, which was plunged In
darkness for an hour or two until
| troops arrived and drove out the strik-
| ers. Another contingent of strike sym
| pathizers seized the Braamfontein
yards. the main railway center OF the
| Transvaal, and stopped the train
) service.
| Hundreds of strikers tried to rush
one of the entrances to the Kleinfon-
tein mines, where "Blacklegs" were
working. The troops kept them at
/ bay until the police dispersed them.
The strike leaders repudiate the ex
cesses, but the men are in ugly tenn,
per against "blacklegs," and further
trouble is expected. There is much
apprehension of general strike
among all trades.

Berlin, Germany, July 3.-The cor
respondent at Athens OF the Frank
fort Gazette was on Tuesday notified
by the Greek foreign Minister that
Greece intended to begin war against
Bulgaria without any formal declara-
tion of war.
The foreign minister made the fol-
lowing statement: After Bulgaria
has answered all the couciIiatory
steps of Greece by repeated breaches
OF treaty and by crossing the pro-
visional boundary fixed short time
ago, the Greek government feels
forced to give the Macedonia di-
visions of it's army the order to as
sumo the offensive
War will In this way commence
without formal declaration, and the
Greek government will submit a state
ment in this sense to the Bulgarian
government at Sofia. Greece declined
to accept the responsibility for this
war.
The Greek legation here received
an official dispatch from Athens stat
ing that the Bulgarians had inaugu-
dated general attack on the Greek
and Servian positions in Macedonia
along a front of 140 miles.

ployment of experts, who are regarded
as absolutely necessary in coping with

the Central West, which is the largest
tobacco-producing area in the world,
conditions for the most part have been
very encouraging, except for the pro-

more or less damage to the plants

Railroad Commission ooines.

The State Railroad Commission will
begin the assessment of the physical
property of the railroads about Au-
gust Is. The hearing in the cases OF
citizens of Shelbyville against the
louisville & Interurban and the L. &
N. were set for August at Shelvy-
vile. In one complaint the Shelbyville
petitioners allegt that the Louisville
& Interurban discriminates against
SShelbyyille and in favor of Louisville
in the passenger rate per mile. To this
the road anwsers that whereas the cit
liens in their complaint base the rate
into Louisville on the distance to the
terminal station in the city, the rates
in force are based on the distance to
the loop near the waterworks park,
where competition with the Louisville
Railway Co. begins, and five-cent fare
is charged from that point to the ter
minal station. The complaint against
the l.. & N. is that they have no train
running direct from Bagdad to Shell
byville in the morning and back in the
evening, and that Bagdad people in
going to and returning from Shelby
vile must change cars. A conference
between L. & N. and c. & o. officials
and the Industrial Club, of Covington,
relative to new passenger station in
that city, set for July 1S, caused a
postponement of the hearing in the
complaint of the Industrial Club
against the roads. The commission
should have have met in Covington to
take evidence, but indefinitely post
poned it to see whether an amicable
agreement can be reached at the con-
ference. If no agreement is reached
the commission will hold the hearing
some time in August, at which time
also it will dispose of the request of
the L. & N. to be allowed to discon-
tinue stops at DeCoursey and Coleman
Heights.

UP ADRIANoPLE.
Grand vixier Compelled to Resign and

Constantinople-The war party took
possession of the government on
Thursday, after Staying Maxim Pasha,
commander-in-chief of the army, who
advocated peace, and forcing Kiamil
Pasha, the grand vizier, to resign.
The coup d'etat came with a sudden
ness that surprised the sultan, and
when the resignation of Kiamil Pasha
was presented to him he refused to
believe 1t genuine. Sending to Kiamil
for information, he received word that
his trusted premier, bowling to force,
had given way to Sheflxet Pasha, for
mer minister of war and leader OF the
Young Turks when they placed the
present sultan on the. throne.
AS result of the coup d'etat the
peace party which proposed to sur
render Adrianople and bow to the hu-
initiating terms of the Balkan allies,
has been swept from power and
Europe again faces crisis. The war
party is determined to hold Adrian

ALLIES WILL BREAK
OFF NEGOTIATIONS
PLAN rs TO GAIN TIME AS
NEITHER SIDE SEEMS ANXIOUS
FOR FURTHER FIGHTING.
Temporary Success Of Turks Should
hostllltIes be Resumed is Feared
by the Little States and Further
Fighting is Not Desired.

London.-The Balkan plenipoten-
tiariss, who have received full powers
from their respective governments,
appointed a committee Sunday to
draft note to the Turkish plenipo-
tentiaries explaining why the peace
conference must now be considered
broken of.
This action of the allies is part of
series of well-considered forms of
pressure with which the Balkan dele
gates hope to obtain their object with
out resuming the war.
That the policy of the allies is to
gain time is patent, and does not de-
ceive anybody. The delegates decid-
ed that the advantages to be derived
from the resumption of hostilities
would be in proportion to the risks
they ran, and that they would not
take that step unless absolutely
forced to do so. 1t is realized that
even a partial reverse would have
grave moral and material conse-
uuences, apart from the loss of thou.
sands of men.
In addition. the fact is not over
looked that there is danger of Ru-
mania advancing from the rear and
of Austria imposing on Servia and
Montenegro her conditions for re-
naming neutral. The only disadvant-
age in delaying decisive action is in
keeping large armies inactive and on
a war footing for a long time, thus
heavily taxing both the financial and
agricultural resources Of the country
