round of applause. The collection of
animals with the Gentry show this
year is said to bo the best they havo
ever had on exhibition and includes
scores of dogs of all species, tiny
Shetland ponies, several cages of
monkeys and a herd of performing

forts to F'lnil the Assail
ant of Maaelssen.
SALONIKA, Turkey, Aug. 31.—The
Bulgarian insurgents sustained a se
vere' reverse at Smilovo, 1,000 of them
being killed.
The insurgents to the number of 3,000
occupied a position ou a height which
was atormed by six battalions of Turk
ish troops commanded by Servet Pasha.
After losing 1,000 of their number the
Bulgarians fled in the face of the heavy
Turkish artillery fire. The Turkish
losses were insignificant.
Dispatches received from Constanti
nople, Monastir and Adrianople reveal
an equally unsatisfactory condition of
affairs in Macedonia. At Monastir the
insurgents are said to be masters of the
situation. Telegrams from Adrianople
declare that the insurgent bands are
continuing their ravages.
At the moment that the porte is ask
ing Belgium to supply officers for the
Macedonian genaarmery me sweuisn
ambassador at Constantinople has no
tified the Turkish government that un
less they receive their pay immediately
the Swedish officers now ut Uskub will
leave the country.
The Servian diplomatic agent has no
tified the portc that two divisions of
the Servian army have been mobilized
without any hostile intention as re
gards Turkey, but they will be sent to
the frontier to prevent Albanian incur
sions into Servia.
It is reported that the hodja (teachers
attached to a mosque) in the vilayet of
Kossovo are preaching that the time
for a holy war lias come and that the
people must be ready to kill the Chris
tians in the vilayet. Insurgent bands
are said to be In complete control of
the districts of Itetnirhissar and Kits
chevo and the chief mountain passes
in the vilayet of Monastir.
The total strength of the bands in
the vilayet of Adrianople is estimated
at 6,000 men. The insurgents have
blown up the barracks at Ghioktcpe,
near Malkoternnvo, killing sixty sol
diers. They also attacked and set fire
to the Turkish camps at Egripalanka,
Kratovo and Kotcheni. A great panic
ensued, the troops firing into each
other.
A dispatcli from Constantinople says
that after an interview with Foreign
Minister Tewtik I’asha Minister Eelsh
man requested Washington to recall
the European squadron, which has been
ordered to Beirut.
Since the representations made by
United States Minister Lelshnian re
garding the attempt on the life of Vice
Consul Mugelssen the authorities at
Beirut are displaying a marked activi
ty in their efforts to find the culprit.
Betcrailr Sympathy For Macedonia.
BBLGRADE, Servia. Aug. 31.— A
crowd of thousands of people gathered
in the Theater square and demonstrat
ed in sympathy witli the Macedonians.
Several well known politicians spoke.
They condemned Turkish misrule, ap
pealed to the Servians to assist the
Macedonians in their struggle for free
dom and declared that Servia, Bulga
ria and Montenegro ought to occupy
and rebuild the Turkish empire. The
meeting adopted a resolution calling on
the government to intervene in behalf
of the Macedonians. Reports are in
circulation here that the monastery of
St. Frochov. on the Servian frontier,
was attacked Saturday night and en
tirely demolished by the Turks and
Albunians.

CLAIMS WILL BE HEARD THURSDAY
Controversy Centers on Canada's
KfTort to Acquire an Outlet to
the Sea — American Position
Said to Be Unassailable.
LONDON, Aug. 31.—Secretary of War
Ellhu Hoot, ex-Secretary of State John
W. Foster, Hannis Taylor and Judge
John M. Dickinson arrived at Liver
pool on the Celtic for the meetings of
the Alaskan boundary commission,
which will open in London on Thurs
day. They were received at Liverpool
by Mr. Petheriek, assistant United
States dispatch agent, in behalf of the
American embassy. The Canadian
commissioners are also here.
United States Ambassador Choate
has arranged to give a dinner in honor
of Secretary Hoot, at which all the
American and ijritisli representatives
will be present. The commissioners
are already familiar with the facts of
the cases on both sides, which were
tiled several months ago. At the first
meeting of the commissioners the Amer
icans and Canadians will submit their
briefs, which will be a condensation of
the facts atid arguments regarding the
interpretation of the treaty. The oom
mission will then announce the day on
which the oral arguments will be beard.
The documents have not yet been
made public, but it has been learned
that the whole controversy centers up
on Canada's effort to acquire an outlet
to the sea. It is known authoritatively
that the Canadian agent asserts that
under the Itusso-Britisli treaty of 1825
the line properly crosses numerous in
lets, including the head waters of the
Lynn canal. The contention seems to
be that the inlets less than six miles
wide situated in the disputed region be
long to Canada. United States Coun
sel Foster vigorously opposes this view,
holding that the treaty clearly places
the line thirty miles inland, following
the sinuosities of the coast, and thus
separates Canada from all the arms of
the ocean and puts Porcupine creek
and the gold district under American
jurisdiction.
The American representatives are
confident that their position is unas
sailable. The commissioners expect
thut the complete consideration of the
entire case will take less than two
months and that even should the com
mission fail to render n mujority award
the facts will be clearly established.
This will lead to an easier settlement
in the future.
Secretary Root intends to take ad
vantage of the recess between the fil
ings of the briefs and the oral argu
ments to witness the British army ma
neuvers.
Fatal Milk Train Colliaion.
MIDDLETOWN, N. Y„ Aug. 31.
Plunging into the rear end of an Erie
milk train a quarter of a mile east of
Turner’s another section of the same
train telescoped two pnssenger coaches,
killed one man and severely injured
thirteen others. The wreck was one of
the worst experienced by the Erie rail
road in many years. Conrad Sceib, a
stationary engineer of Paterson, N. J.,
was killed. E. F. Hallfield, whose arm,
resting in a window at the time of the
wreck, was completely severed at the
elbow, exhibited remarkable endur
ance. Hallfield wore a diamond ring,
and it is stuted by a physician that
after he got out of the car he walked
about inquiring for the missing hand
on which the ring was. The arm was
found with the ring on, after which
the injured man was removed to the
hospital for treatment.

that Greece will support Turkey
against Macedonia. He said he did not

should unite in suppressing the Mace

continued, "have urged Greece to come
to an agreement with Turkey before

Germanism oil ns the mastery over all
the eastern Adriatic coast. Greece, Al
bania and Italy have only one road to
safety, nnd that is a full and cordial
agreement with Turkey. Boris Sara
foff asked my advice in organizing the
Macedonian insurrection, complaining
that I was unfavorable to it. I an
swered that I could not approve it, be
cause the insurrection was based on
the hope of Austro-Kussian interven
tion, which, if it came about, would be
in the interest of those two countries.
“My plan is the independence of Al
bania under Itnliun protection, with an
understanding with Greece, while con
temporaneously Snrafoff would appeal
to Europe for Macedonian independ
ence, renouncing all idea of Austro
Itussian intervention. If my pro
gramme is accepted I will appeal to the
Italian people, convinced that in twen
ty-four hours 20,000 volunteers would
follow me to the other side of the Adri
atic. I am in hopes that the Italian
government would not prevent my car-1
rying out this project, but if it did I
would renounce Italian citizenship.”
