ENING
t
ON THE FRONTIER.
The Revolutionists in Macedonia
Are Massing Thousands of
Men at Various Points.
BANNER (REVOLUTION UNFURLED
Every City and Yillaero, Whether tho
Inhabitants Arc Friends or Foes,
Will Bo Destroyed.
Beginning of Massacres, Burnings and
Destruction Compared With Which
tho Turkish Atrocities Will Seem
Child's Play Threatened.
London, Sept. 21. The Dally Mall's
correspondent at Sofia telegraphs:
"One of the revolutionary chiefs has
Informed me that tho revolutionists
are massing thousands of men at vari
ous points on tho frontier and their
laboratories are working Incessantly
to replenish their stock of bombs and
explosives. They do not count much
on war between Turkey and Bulgaria,
but on tho day they hear that tho
meeting between tho czar and Empe
ror Francis Joseph has not had tho de
sired result for Macedonia, the world
will witness the beginning of massa
cres, burnings and destruction com
pared with which tho Turkish atroci
ties will seem child's play. Tho ban
ner of revolution, my Informant says,
will bo unfurled in all the border dis
tricts. Every city and village, wheth
er the inhabitants are friends or foes,
will be destroyed, and such a state of
anarchy will bo caused that the Turks
will step out voluntarily and leave tho
country to Macedonian survivors. Wp
have selected the frontier districts for
these final operations so that Europe
may hear the despairing cries of the
dying nation which the Turks would
stifle."
London, Sept. 21. The Balkan sit
uation presented few new features Sun
day morning. The German emperor's
influence at Vienna is said to have

sultan the utmost freedom in suppress
ing tho Insurrection. Both Turks and
Macedonians claim the victories In the
daily encounters. A report from Sofia
states that the Bulgarian military prep
arations are reaching the stage of per
fection that will enable the concentra
tion of 200,000 men on the frontier
within a week and that the stocks of
provisions, weapons and ammunition
are rapidly becoming efficient.

Attitude in the Matter.

velt Sunday was Voted by the Chicago
Federation of Labor a 9,000 word let
ter of advice in which fault is found

prompted by the decision of President
Roosevelt In tho Miller case, in which
tho president said that Miller, or any
other man, must not be discharged
from the government printing office on
account of non-membership In a union.
"Dellclously unaware of tho hypoc
risy of tho world of finance," "honest
and humane, but uninformed," were
sumo of the clauses used to describe
tho president In the long letter of the
open shop committee.
Its opening paragraphs contained a
definite disclaimer of any wish to at
tack Mr. Roosevelt, the blame for the
chief executive's attitudo In the Mil
ler affair being placed on "coterie of
certain well-known Interests which are
constantly on guard around tho white
house." Tho president was told that
he fell Into error In his view of the
.question, "Because of that Impetuosity
.for which wo love you." A copy of the
communication will be forwarded to

bor day, September 7.

test In which his companions were
Frederic McLaughlin, W. W. Rath
bone, Walter Farwell, Sidney Love,

Tho ball which struck Mr. Swift
was one that went high In the air and
from the mallet of Mr. Love. Mr.
Swift did not appreciate the danger un-
til too late, the glare of the sun pre
venting him from following the ball
In Its flight. When the ball hit him
he did not fall from his saddle and
when his companions galloped to his
side he was at first inclined to make
light of tho Injury. He was Induced
to dismount, but walked without aid
from tho field. Arriving home, he
complained of dizziness and later he
went Into a delirium which was fol
lowed by his death.

TWO MORE RESIGN
Lord Balfour of Burleigh, Secre
tary For Scotland, Leaves
the British Cabinet.
THE TREASURY SECRETARY QUITS
Apparently the Duke of Devonshire
Has Decided Not to Give
Up Ilia Portfolio
It Is Certain Austen Chamberlain, Lord
Mllner and Mr. Broderlck Will
Take the Exchequer, Colonies
and India Portfolios.
London, Sept. 21. Lord Balfour of
Burleigh, secretary for Scotland, and
Arthur Ralph Douglass Elliott, finan
cial secretary to tho treasury, have
resigned and their resignations have
been accepted by tho king. Mr. Elli
ott was not In tho cabinet. These two
resignations make a total of four va
cant cabinet posts and one secretary
ship at Mr. Balfour's disposal.
With tho resignation of Lord Bal
four and Financial Secretary Elliott,
both strong freo traders, it Is under
stood that tho ministerial resignations
are completed and apparently tho
duke of Devonshire has decided to re
main In the cabinet. It Is practically
certain that Austen Chamberlain, Lord
Mllner and Mr. Broderlck will take
the exchequer, colonies and India port
folios respectively, and the onlv sur
prise in tho new appointments Is like
ly to be the nomination of a strong
man to the war office to determine how
far the recommendations of the South
African war commission can be car
ried out. Homo Secretary Akers-Doug-lass
started for Balmoral Sunday night
and he will probably be Involved In tho
