ing for signature petttious to the Czar favoring the
Bli-ction of the Pilno? ol Oldenburg as eucoeasor to
prince Alexander. Before Prince Alexander announced
hi* intention lo rait the throne he received a telegram
li., a Pr moo Bismarck rocommendlng that he abdicate
in or 1-t t.t BB Rutgarla. In Sophia lt I. believed that
bis decisiou to abdicate is due partly to loss of vigor of
UjihI ant oody consequent upon the severe trial* which
he Las undergone lately. Ou Saturday he presided at a
meemi* representing all partlea lu Hulgaria. It waa de
eltlct to aupoiul M. Stambuloir, M. Radoslavof, M.

A ? x tu ler from Bulgaria la likely to result in civil war.
In a' BSf-MSS with tho decision of the meeting tho Ave

A diep itch from Semiiu eaya thst King Sallen of Bervia,
who with h'a Prime Minister, M. Uarashamne, was on
bis way to Uiukeaburg, has, ou account of the gravity
of the ?Illation created in the Balkan State* hy Prlnoe
?'ex itiilrr'* abdicatlo.i, abandoned hi* contemplated
lourney and arranged to return to Belgrade. The Bul?
garian cris:*, lt 1. feared, will have a critical effect in
Bervia.
Ih, Standard say.: " We ai? convinced that Prince
Bismarck will pot succeed In averting an eventual strug?
gle between Russia end Austria. England will bo the
Chief gah er hy the great opportunity which Germany
?nd Austria have thrown away. Anything thatincrease.
Russia's Interest anl ahtortt. her attention In Europe
will divert lt from Asia. Thu* we will acquire^ time to
render Russian maobmatlons In Asia harmless."
Ute limrt sty*-. ?? Herman *nd Auslilan Indifference
probably springs from a consciousness of their Inability
to prevent the Russian advance. The oentral Power*
utay be making the best of unpleasant and unavoidable

PniLADKl.PHlA, Hept. (5 {Special).?The in
veitlgatiou Into tbe charges against Mayor Smith of
retention of publlo moneys for his personal use was re?
sumed this morning by a committee of Common Coun?
cils. A. J. McOsrry, a pawnbroker, was recalled and
testified that his Ave checks of $100 each for 1885 and
lum; had been altered without bis knowledge, and after
tbey bad been paid for lloense. They were inado payable
to the City Treasurer, bm they now read: " pay to
William B. Smith." Tbe principal wlmes% wss Robert
M. Hcott, chief bookkeeper ot the Fidelity Bate Deposit
and Trust Company, where tbe Mayor kept his account.
He testiflod that the Mayor was allowed two per cent
Interest on hlsdeposlts. He showed that on August 5
of tbls year the Mayor's account had been overdrawn
*?*>'_> 4i and this wu* not made good nntll August ll.
Tne witness said that wheu tbe account was overdrawn
he notified the Mayor twice. Ha replied that lt would
be attended to. Two chocks were protested. On July
6 a check In favor of W. J. Tbompaon for
S2H80 waa protested. Tbe check and pro
teat were read by Chairman Robert*, also one
of Jnly 6, for s?l'.!3 17 In favor of the Rev. F.ngene Lal?
bert, principal. (The latter check la In payment for bia
aon'a tuition at an academy at Bethlehem).
" How much waa tn tbe bank when tbe laat chook waa

" Twenty-three cents."
After that tune lt waa shown that alxteen cbecka had

President Lawrence ssld that as counsel had admitted
that tbe fees were placed to the Mayor's own personal
account, lt was an admlnstou of what the committee de?
sired to prore. Clly Controller I>ech?rt testified that
the Mayor had paid oul/ $'- oO Into the city treasury of
city money up to July lil. In regsrd to the policeman,

of a man of ttiat name receiving pay as a
policeman was made. Bookkeeper Hcott was recalled
aud swore that Mayor Smith had only one account In the
bank and thal was to his credit as "Treasurer." To
tuts account all the feos of llocnses paid to the Mayor
had been deposited.
It was shown that during the preieut year the Mayor
had recd veil tho following sums wbleh should havo lie?n
turned over to the Ciiy 1 reasurer on the dav of receipt.
In Jami try he collected rf"),060 and paid nothing to the.

Chicago., 111., Sept. 0.?-A dispatch to The
Daily Stn* from Ishpeminir, Mich., says that Michael
Davitt, on his trip ihroitnh Northern Michigan, was fol?
lowed by a shorthand reporter In the otuploy of the
British Government. Alt of his speedie* fid some of
his prlvato conversations were taken down In full by
this indefatigable agent of the Kngllsh authorities.
The fact has only Just come to lighL All of Mr. Oavltt's
utterances In this part of the Stale were temperate, and
the Kngllsh authorities will tint! lt bard, uuless tho
speeches are misrepresented, to make out a oase against
him for anything he said while In Michigan.
DESTITUTION IN WESTERN TEXAS.
CbicaoOi Bept, 6.?A dispatch from Dallas,
Tex., says that A. H. Kirby, representing the Central
Relief Committee for the sufferers from the drouth In
Jones and Stonewall Counties, arrived thore yettnrday.
He aaid that rain had not fallen In those counties for
fourteen months, thst a majority of ihe settlers havo
left there, and that about too families who were tntaule
to go were In extreme destitution and only kept alive by
the willingness ot those who bave anything to divide
wltn them. The region, he represents, bas beeu trans?
formed int't a desert, willi the cattle limited to mesquite
leaves for provender, as a result of winoh they are un?
marketable, too weak to move, aol oannot possibly
survive the coming winter. Throughout the hurue 1 oul
district perhaps 3, ooo families are deeiuuie.

to bo iiuii ker in stays than th* Mayllower she w ill

AH day yesterday yachtsmen were cist ing
weather horoscopes for to-day and consulting tho
ora. ular BtterancSSOf tho Signal Service oflleer.
" Variable win ls, mostly southerly," was all tho
satisfaction thc Siirnal Service would give. At
highwater the Galatea was put into tho water
from the sectional dock at tho foot of Rutgers-st.
and towed to an anchorage ott Ray Ridge. Hor
bottom had been potloaded and polished until it
was as smooth as glass. Every rope and spar had
been thoroughly tested, and as tho engines of tho
do?B began their Dulling and pumping she settled
gradually into tho water in perfect trim ami con?
dition. In spite of tho drizzling ram which had
begun to fall there were a largo number of people
present to soe tho Knglish champion put overboard.
A tug immediately got a lino to tho yacht and
started with her down tho Fast River. As iho
i-al.ite.t pasted down towart tho Buttermilk Chan?
nel people mi tin* piers and tho snips moored to
them stopped their work to ga/.e at tho white cut?
ter. About th? same timo that the Galatea was
settling into the water at tho foot of Ruttrers-st.
ttio Mayllower slid into QowSBBB Ray Irom the
marino railway at the foot ot Court-st., Ilrooklyn.
Tilt ?Dishing touches had been giveu to tho Ameri?
can champion und she was in full lighting trim
with her war paint of potlead on. Only about
three feet of Whit?shows now, she having been
pot leaded in the same manner SB th? I'uritan was
last year. A tog took lui in tow and she dioppod

LITTLE DANGER OF AS EPIDEMIC.
A message that export physicians of the Sanitary
Bureau were wanted at St. Vincent's Hospital was
sent over the police wire to the Central Otlice on Sun?
day e\ cuing. Thc physicians who responded found a
young Scotchman suffering from yellow fever in an
Isolated part of tho hospital. Hia disease was easily
recognued by the saffron hue of his skin and by the
black vomit which had appeared shortly before the
BMSSage was sent to Headquarters. Tho patient was
Francis Gurley, age twenty-three, a tlreuian on the
steamship .Vivo of the Atlas Line. Ho had not shown
any symptoms of the fever when the vessel reached
this city last Monday, although he probably was ex?
posed to tho disease at a West Indian port. After
going ashore on Monday Golden lad become intoxi?
cated and had gone to the lodging-house No. 3i_.l
West-st. Ile began to feel sick on Thursday, but his
lillies was bclieted to have resulted from his spree.
? )n Saturday he was so much worse that his friends
sent him to the hospital. The physicians thought his
symptoms were suspicious and they did not pl BBS him
iu a ward with other patients.
Golden was removed to the Reception Hospital at
the toot of Hast Biltteenth-St. on Sunday night. Great
care was taken not to expose him to a chill. The bed?
ding which he bad used at the hospital and his own
clothing were removed with him, aud the room whero
he had lain since Saturday wan disinfeoted. Chief
Inspector Taylor of the Fourth Sanitary Division, yes?
terday sent men to disinfect Golden's remaining
clothing und the room which he had occupied iii
Wi -t *t. He also informed Health Officer Smitti at
Oaiarantiue, It was said that there had not beeu any
case of yellow fever on the Alvo. Golden was so
weak yesterday that the sanitary officials thought it
would endanger his life to rtinove him to (Quarantine
and he rciiuiiiicd at the Reception Hospital, whero
there were no other patients. Assistant Sanitary
Superintendent James said j that there was no seager
ol' an epidemic of tho itivif on account ot' Golden's
sickness. J*
Inspector Taylor sall la.t ulght: "Tho room

Charleston, Sept 6.-There has been little
change in the condition of affairs since yesterday.
Last night passed without incident in the various
camps throughout the city. The shock at 11:15
p. m. created little commotion among the women
and children for tho reason that comparatively few*
people felt it. In some of tbe camp* religions ser?
vices were kept up until after midnight. After
that hour, however, most of the noises ceased, and
at 1 o'clock the city was wrapped in darkness and
silence. A reporter who took a walk through th?
stroets found many persons lying ont on the
sidewalk in addition to those in the
vacant lots snd squares. Many persons were
compelled to remain near their former
homes to watch over their effects. These managed
to rig up temporary tents on the sidewall*" near
tho board fences and pasiod tho night in thone
places. Toward 4 o'clock in the morning clouds
began to overcast tlie heavens and a light shower
of rain set in. The si tnat ion thou really became
appalling. With 50,000 people exposed ls the
weather, having no shelter save that odored by
sheets aud blankets, a heavy rainfall meant sick?
ness, disease and de t th. Tenpin were BBB?IStl and
anxious. Fathers begun to look around for means
of sheltering their wives and ? hil.ltvii. At (lay
break, however, the bUm OlSSTS?. To-mirht thu

much alarmed, so dostm. live wo lld a he ivy ram

A great crowtl of people were attracted to-day
to ibo vicinity of .St. Philip's Church. HnadndS
of eyes were directed ts thc steepi.', on thu
tower of which men could lie BBSB at work.
At lirst it was tbOBfbt they were making arrange?
ments to pull it down. It was fmi ul,
however, that their ohjeei was to save the steeple.
The vestry of the church *?? *pjH tho ser?
vices of Mr. Herr "ii, thc janitor of tho Custom
Hnii*e. who on Saturday made a thorough exaiiiiu
aiiiiuof tho church and steeple and sIiomvo io
as his opinion that neither the building nor
tbe steeple was as seriously injured as was at lirst
thought to lie the ca .e. lu OOBSStjBSMS of this the
Contract was given to John Hucklev, Charios Spense
and Dennis Carey, three experienced ridgers and
builders, who > BStSfdsy morning began the work ot
preserving tho steeple. Two of them ascended
to tbat part of the tower which is partially
cracked aud which is immediately boue.it!i
the spire. Along line was thrown down to the
ground below and hy this means a stout rope was
hauled up. The brick and iron columns of tha
arched part of tue tower wero removed, the debris
being thrown down into the street. This
part of the steeple is iu no way neces?
sary for the support of tho spire, which rests oa
four 6tout timbers sixteen inches square, md wlnctt
are anchored and morticed to the foundation,
runuiug tho entire length of the steeple, rinse
timbers are sound aud so.id and are uhuii'luntly
anio to hold up the spire. Alter the
iron columns aud brickwork beneath the syira
aro removed large "shores"' will ho teni as
props to the spire, and in this way tho
steeple will be preserved. Like St. Michael's,
it is built on a separate iou dila?
tion which is "piled" and concreted, aud on
which rest tho four massive pillars which Mfpstl
the steeple. The porches of the church, of which
there are two. ouo on the west and ono on
south wall, will, it is thought, be pulled down.
Tho porctl on the wost will certainly
have to como down. The one on tbe
south may lie preserved if an SK.iiiiinaiio > shows
that it is not dangerous. A portion of
the west porch bas already fallen, hav?
ing been thrown down by the shoe*
on Tuesday night. Tbe porch Itself has no
connection with the church proper, having
beeu held to it only bv iron roda,
These have parted and the porch is really
in a dangerous condition. The vestry of th?
church have taken all tho steps necessary to SSOBH
its preservation, aud will spare no efforts to secure
this end.
Hundreds are using all available means for leav?
ing the city, and every outgoing railway ti.tiu tor
the past tlire-, days has been filled to its utmost
capacity. A bureau has beeu formed for lha issu?
ing of ruilroad passes to those who de
Bire to leave the city, but have uot the
means. Hie city authorities were authorized by
the South Carolina. Charleston and Savannah and
Kichmoiid and Danville Railroads to issue fie?
paSOBStB all persons desiring to leave lin-eity.
During the day about 500 passes were is* nd to
