The Chinese were turned over to the Canadian Pacific to be carried back to Vancouver and shipped to China". When they reached Montreal they were stopped by writs of habeas corpus made return able in the Canadian court at that place on Thursday of this week. This action was instituted by persons In the "United States interested in bringing the Chinese into this country. It is contended that the agreement entered into by the rail road company is Uiegal. If the Chinese are admitted on evidence of naturaliza tion, which the officials, believe will' be manufactured, Sargent will recommend that every port alongthe Canadian bor der be closwwi to Chinese. Recently seventeen Chinese were denied admission at Malone, N. Y., and Rich ford. Vt. They professed to have been born In the United States, but offared no evidence In support of their claim. Commissioner General of Immigration Sargent concluded several months ago an agreement with the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company by which the company undertook to transport in bond all Chi nese arriving at Vancouver, destined for United States ports, and to deliver, them to Immigration officials at the port at which they intended to enter this coun try. If any such Chinese are denied ad mission the railroad company, under its agreement, is bound to return them to China. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET. N. W..

Special Dispatch to The Call. Invasion by Way of Canada to Cease. SOFIA, Bulgaria. Sept 8.— All reports from the vilayet of Monastir agres in describing the situation as ap palling. Between 30,000 and 30.000 Bulga rian inhabitants are believed to have been massacred by the Turks and every Bulgarian village in the vilayet ha3 been destroyed. The refugees in the mountains and forests are dying of starvation by thousands. At present it Is impossible to obtain precise figures. The revolutionary head quarters estimate that 30,000 Bulgarian men, women and children have been killed, while at least the same number of refugees are slowly perishing: of hunger. In official circles these figures are regard ed as an underestimate and officials in cline to the belief that the number of the massacred exceeds 50.0CO. The Turk3 are apparently determined to extermlnata the entire Bulgarian population of th© vilayet. The actual details of the hap penings outside the towns are not avail able. The foreign representatives at Monastir are dependent on information supplied to them from Turkish official sources. BULGARIA EXPECTS ATTACK. In Government circles here the situa tion is viewed with increasing alarm. It is reliably reported that the Turkish forces in Macedonia number 33,000. It is considered Impossible that such a forco could have assembled merely to crush the rebellion. It is feared that the Sultaa is meditating an attack on Bulgaria. According to a telegram from Constan tinople, the Porte has issued an uncondi tional order that all European corre spondents must leave Macedonia, because they are circulating false news. The Em bassadors have been notified of this de cision. The latest report regarding Boris Sara foff, the Macedonian leader, say3 he was wounded In the leg near Dairene. The Macedonian Interior organization estimates that 150,000 women, children and old men are hiding In the mountains and forest3 of Macedonia. The Turks are burning the forests in the districts of Leron and Kosbro and killing fugitives who attempt to escape to the plains. CAST CAPTIVES INTO FIRE. The Vlach village of Gopesh. three hours* distant from Monastir. has been burned by the Turks, who are reported to have thrown several of the Inhabitants into the fire. The Bashl-Bazouks have destroyed the village of Stoilovo. Thirteen thousand Turkish soldiers are assembled on the frontier near Pa'.anka, Kratovo and Gobshanl and are plunder ing the surrounding villages. The peopla have not complained, fearing that they will be murdered. In the district of De britsl. vilayet of Monastir. the soldiers CURES HIS CRAVING FOR MORPHINE MAY CLOSE ALL PORTS TO CHINESE SALONICA, Sept. 8.— Twelve battalions of Turkish troops are re ported to have surrounded a large revolutionary band near Ostrove, thirty miles from Monastir. Fighting is proceeding. The revo lutionaries have taken up a position near Lake Ania tove in the vilayet of Constantinople. Turkish troops are now said to be attacking them. "It will thus be seen that in deference tc the objections of the other powers the snore objectional features of the demands tnade by M. Planchon (who was recently Russian Charge d'Affaires in Peking) have been omitted, and while Russia sur renders no material advantage she has grained time and can rest content that China will never act in any way coun ter to M. Planchon's demands. She also Eaves the face of China, which will ac cept the altered conditions with alacrity. Russia further hopes thereby to pacify Japan's resentment by apparently acced ing to her wishes while retaining abso lute military control of the country and hoping now to be able to push to com pletion undisturbed her military prepara tions." PARIS, Sept. 8.— A dispatch from Mar seilles to La Presse asserts that the Gov ernment has requisitioned ail the steam ers oa the Fax Eastern service of the Mesageries Maritimes and Chargeurs Reunis companies for the conveyance o* a large number of troops of all arms and a Quantity of supplies. The dispatch adds that this step confirms the report that a critical situation prevails In China. LONDON. Sept 8.— The Peking corre spondent of the Times telegraphs that M. Ltssar. the Russian Minister, in his note to the Wai Wu Pu engaging that New chwang and Moukden province should be evacuated by the Russians on October S, undertook that China shall be permit ted to resume administrative rights In the three provinces of Manchuria, pro vided that on her part China undertakes that no portion cf the territory shall be conferred to any other power; that no concession shall be granted to Great Brit ain unless granted equally to Russia (this js uutcure and requires confirmation) ; that there shall be no increase in the present tariff on poods entering Man churia by the railway; that In the event of an epidemic at Newchwang a Russian health cfScer shall be appointed to deal with it; that Russia shall retain her own military telegTaph along the railway, and that the agencies of the Russo-Chinese bank in Manchuria Ehall be guarded by Chinese EOldiers. If these conditions are agreed to. New chwang and Moukden shall be evacuated en October 8 and the remainlngr prov inces in due course.
