BULGARIAN ATROCITIES.
Gruesome Reports from Fleeing Troops
At Sores.

Saloniki, July i6-Full confirmation
of the reported sacking and burning
of the Macedonian town of Sores by
the fleeing Bulgarian trops and of the
crucifiXion, hacking to death, or burn
ing alive of MANY of the habitants,
has been sent to the Austro Hun

Three-fourths of the formerly -four

the consulgeneral, who has just re-

thoroughly investigated the situation.
He had been ordered to inquire into
the plundering and burning of the
Austrian vice consulate there and the
carrying off Vice Consul Georg C.

TURKS TO ADRiANoPLE.
Government Pushes Forward Toward
Captured Stronghold.

Constantinople. July i6.-The Turk
ish government is determined to push
forward the march of the Ottoman
troops as far as the stronghold of
Adrianople captured by the Bull
garians during the recent Balkan war.
Although official circles in Constan-
tinople are reticent on the subject it
is understood that such a forward
step is the deliberate plan of the
Turkish government, which intends to
take this bold action not only because
of the material advantages to be
gained from such a move at the pres
ent time, but because of the moral
effect it will have on the internal sit
uation in Turkey. 1t is expected that
by this means the position of the gov
eminent will be strengthened and
consolidated and 1t also is felt that
even if the Powers insist on bringing
pressure to bear to compel the main
tenance of the future frontier line be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria from
Enos, on the Aegean Sea, to Midia or
the Black Sea, still Turkey will be in
a position to enforce the autonomy OF
the province Of Thrace.
Thus far, however, the European
Powers have not addressed any com
munication to the Turkish govern
ment on the subject of advance of the
Ottoman troops toward the north.

Heats, In DrlvIng nasss.

Pittsburg, July 16.-After being de-
layed two days by rains and heavy
track the Grand Circuit meet at the
Brunot's Island track started. today,
under ideal weather conditions. The
205 pace was somewhat of a disap-
pointment in the final result. Great
things We're expected of Longworth d,
winner of the 2.05 pace in Cleveland
and Branham Baughman and Jones
Gentry As it was Walter Cochato
had little difficulty in taking both
heats and the race. Longwofth B was
second. Branham Banghman fourth
and Jones Gentry a poor fifth. The
2.l2 tret and the 2.1a pace both went
to four heats. After winning the first
heat of the 2.12 trot, Peter McCor-
mick was in a fair way to take the
second. but he broke in the stretch
and ONeill won. The Mccormick
horse took the two final heats handily.
The 2.24 trot in all three heats was
procession around the track, Uncle
Biff taking the race in straight heats.
Another four heat race was the re-
suit of Isaac B. going up in the air
in the stretch in the PIP pace. Isaac
b. had taken the first heat easily and
was leading in the second. He broke
badly in the stretch, got tangled ia
his hopples and was thrown, letting
Ellsworth B. through. In the two
other heats Ellsworth b. had it all his
own way. Arlene took the 2.u9 pace
in straight heats. There was little to
pick from the rest of the field.
Shortly after the second heat of the
day had been run, Frank Walker the
veteran starter of the Grand Circuit,
collapsed and was removed from the
stand. 1t was said he was not seri-
ously i'll. A. II. Pendleton of East st.
