REVOLUTION AT sALONIKI


 London, September 1.-The begin- ming of a revolution in Macedonia is reported in Reuter- dispatch filed yes- terday at Saloniki.
 Fighting occurred in Saloniki, the correspondent adds, but serious trou- ble was prevented by intervention of soldiers of the allies.
 "The revolution claimed it's first vic- tims at 4:3 o'clock this morning." the correspondent cables "Cretan gen darmes and Macedonian volunteers sur rounded the barracks of the Greek in fantry in Saloniki and exchanged shots with the garrison. But for the inter vention of the allies the consequences might have been more serious.
 After half promising to participate in a demonstration arranged yester- day by a pro-ally committee, the Greek troops finally refused. During the night pro-ally volunteers made a determined attempt to seize the barracks but failed. It is asserted one gen d'arme was killed. and that two were wound ed. The losses of the loyalists have not been ascertained."
 Further details of the disturbance in Saloniki are given in later dispatch to Reuters which says that when the volunteers ascertained the regulars were unwilling to cooperate they sur rounded the barracks in the night, cut the waterman and electric light wires and shut off food supplies. Sixty regu- lars attempted to break out to obtain supplies. Surrender was demanded, and when the regulars refused the vol unters fired shots in the air. The regu- lars replied with a volley, whereupon the volunteers opened fire. compelling them to return to the barracks. ALLIES INTERVENE The allied commander. General Sar- rail-, intervened to prevent further bloodshed. Three men were killed and one gen d'arme and two volunteers were wounded.
 The soldiers refused to treat with the revclutionists but accepted allied media tion It was agreed that the soldiers she uld be disarmed and interEed at Camp Zeitinlek outside the city. The officers were permitted to retain their swords, pledging themselves not to interfere with the revolutionists.
 The barracks were handed over to the French It is reported that the entire garrison at Vodena went over to a com m,ttee representing the revolutionists. The garrison at Fort Little Karaburun refused to recognize the committee, whereupon revolutionists surrounded the fort.
 After news had been received of the submission of the Saloniki garrison the regulars at Little Karaburun yielded.
 All opposition to the revolutionary com mittee in the affected portion of Mace donia appears to have vanished. The committee will take over the functions oi government and is expected to pro- claim general mobilization. SITUATION CLEARED
 Prompt action by the French comman- der who detailed strong escort to pro- tect the Saloniki garrison and marched it through the streets. cleared the situa- ton.

 EULOGY TO DEMOCRATS
 T leave it to his democratic friends to eulogize what they believe to be the Presidents courage. At any rate he made a proposal; the railroad men ac- cepted 1t, and the railroads rejected t. Then the brotherhoods, think unwisely, sent out the order for the strike. which l think has stricken organized labor the seyerest blow it ever received
 But the President. having failed in mediation, came to Congress- I am not criticizing him for that I think he came in a proper way. I think he ought to nave come. He recommended a pro- gra mme which was perfectly under standable. He may have been courage ous. l am not inclined to rob him of the credit, but we must remember that one of the propositions of the President pleased the brotherhoods and the other pleased the railroads. There was an even balance, but when this was done. these four railroad chiefs before us at our ill., vitation stated without reluctance that there was just one way to avert the strike. It was that they send to their men a message in these terms: 'Satis- factory conclusion reached and they said if the bill containing the President S proposal which the railroads refused were enacted into law, they could send that telegram.
 NOT REPRESENTING TRAINMEN
 T do not represent the brotherhoods, but it is my judgment that if their right to collective bargaining is forever taken away by clothing the interstate com merce commission with authority to fix the wages and hours of labor they will not send that telegram"
 Taking up the bill in detail Senator Cummins said the first provision in 1t meant nothing for the trainmen so far as hours are concerned, because overtime work is not paid at higher rates than work up to eight hours.
 To suggestion by Senator Vardaman that he offer the Senate a better solu- tion of the problem than is found in the House bill, Senator Cummins said that, while he had proposed an alternative in committee, he now was attacking the bill because he expected to vote against it.

HARRY JENNINGS IS
 OUT FUR MINE INSPECTOR
Prominent Local Democrat Throws His Hat Into Ring For Nomination in September Primary, for Office

Harry Jennings, for the past twenty years a resident of the Warren Dis trict, Democrat of the first water, liked by all who know him and a popular idol of his closer friends has announced himself as a candidate in the Democratic primary, this coming September, for the nomination of Mine Inspector for the state of Ari- Zona.
 1 The Bisbee man is the first Cochise county man, not holding office at the present time and who has aspiration in that direction, to announce himself. The declaration follows from every section of the state and the statement from Charles F. Hanson, of Douglas, that he is not a candidate but would support Harry Jennings of Bisbee in the contest. It will be remembered that Hanson, in the last primary, was a strong contender for the nomina- tion.
 Jennings may justly be called an old resident of Bisbee, and of Arizona. He came to the state over twenty years ago from Colorado, where he had worked in the mines of Cripple Creek, Leadville and other places. 1 Upon coming to this section he did Lu0 urSJ WOrh Ou Il6 SOuIu blSD60 group of claims, now the famous Cole mine, for Thomas Higgins, the then owner of the property. Since then he has seen an aggregate of fifteen years work, underground and is at present employed by the Higgins Mines Company.
 1 In 1898, Jennings, with many other Arizonans, joined the First Territorial Volunteers and served under Colonel McCord until the regiment was mustered out.
 l In politics he has been always of i the Democratic faith. From his first i introduction into Arizona his aim and ! his work has always been extended to the promotion of the success of che Democratic party. At various times he has been on the central committees of the city, county and
 state and has always accredited him.
