PREPARING FOR HOSTILITIES "While Turk Brntally Suppresi aiacedoninn Revolt, Powew Ar range to Force Reform Bal kan Stute lluylnsr Arms. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 30. A detach ment of Turkish troops has defeated a strong band of Macedonians near Lake Okhrlda, Albania. The Russian Embassy is actively occu pied with preparing for presentation to the Porte the Austro-Russlan scheme for the improvement of Macedonia. MAY ENFORCE REFORMS. Russia, France and Austria Combine to Coerce Turkey. LONDON, Jan. 30. The publication of a French yellow book, detailing the efforts made by France and Russia during the past year to induce Turkey to institute re forms in Macedonia, -which resulted in the tour through the Balkans of Count Lams dorff, and In the Austro-Russlan agree ment regarding press reforms In Turkey, is held to point to the fact that an acute phase of the Balkan question has arisen The rumors that Austria is preparing a squadron at her naval port of Pola, the passage of the Russian torpedo-boats through the Dardanelles Into the Black Sea, and other incidents, are being re called, whilst the official denials of the mobilization rumors Issued by the Aus-. trlan Government are received with some skepticism. There have been recently sev eral reports of hasty purchases of war material by Roumania, the Balkan states and Turkey. The yellow book confirms the statement that France approves of Count Lams dorff's proposal to institute radical re forms In Macedonia, and gives a gloomy account of the deplorable conditions pre vailing in the Macedonian provinces. Re ports are current In Odessa that Austria and Russia have agreed upon a joint naval coercion of Turkey In the approaching Spring to enforce reforms in Macedonia. According to Professor Bambury, who is supposed to be well informed as to the views entertained at the Yildiz Palace, the Sultan, believing that the Intention Is to wrest Macedonia from the Turkish Em pire, would prefer the risks of war to acquiesence in the European demands. The drift of European comment is that although there is no immediate danger, the situation Is causing diplomats much anxiety. Servlu Buy Ammunition. LONDON, Jan. 30. The correspondent of the Standard at Budapest telegraphs that a contract for 10,000,000 rounds of small arm ammunition for the Servian army was signed there last week with the sanction of the Hungarian government. Russia Prepnres for Action. ODESSA, Jan. 30. Events in Macedo nia are being keenly -watched by the Rus sian military authorities. Orders have been given to the commissariat to be pre pared for eventualities. STORY OF CHAXGELIXG. Hovr the Polish Countess Is Alleged to Have Found Heir. BERLIN, Jan. 30. The Countess Isa bella "Wesierska Wlleicki, who has again been arrested on a charge of pretending to have borne a son six years ago and presenting him as the heir to an estate at Wroblewo, Province of Posen, is 57 years of age and white-haired, though still an animated and brilliant woman. She was 51 when the child was born and had three daughters. It is alleged that the Countess seem ingly had two ladies of high rank as ac complices. These, whose names have not been disclosed, are said to have procured the illegitimate son of the daughter of a railroad watchman in Austria, and at the proper moment to have brought the baby to the countess' apartments here. They went, it is asserted, from the railroad station In a cab, gave the driver a gold piece as a gratuity, and entered the house, one of them carrying the baby, wrapped up in shawl-straps, with a breathing space cut In the bottom of the bundle. The child, it is further claimed, was prob ably drugged, and was apparently kept two days in the house before Its birth was announced. The servants of the Countess, it seems, did not even know of the presence of the child. Those closest to the Countess took the birth of the child .in good faith. The old Count "Wesierska, who was in fragile health, and who was In Italy at the time, telegraphed to the family doctor at Posen to go to Berlin and assist in taking care of the mother and child. The doctor came to this city, but the Countess would not see him, and sent the doctor word that she had every necessary attention. When the legitimacy of tthe child was first contested, the Countess averred that she had the services of a midwife from arsaw. who has since died. The gold piece so Impressed the cabman that he stopped work for the day and went home. Thus it was that he remem bered the circumstances. His testimony now contriDutes to completing the chain or evidence against the Countess. The latter endures the searching examination of the Judge with composure and replies wun aextenty. NEW GEnjIAN TARIFF. Makes Duties Particularly Heavy on I'rouncts of Aprriculture. "WASHINGTON. Jn. Sft TWnHnrJ n formation concerning German trade of juucu viuue 10 exporting interests is con talned in a report to the Stntn Do ment by United States Consul-General .aiason at Berlin, Just published. Mr. Mason points out thnr the tariff act is to go into effect will de pend on the time occupied in arranging new commercial treaties, whtnh ho ninooc at from 12 to 16 months, thus bringing uiu nuvi mw into enect somewhere be tween January ana July, 1904. Mr. Mason analvzes th nt fnoi. showing how it will affect the future Import trade of Germany with the United States, unless meanwhile modified by a reciprocity treatv. KsnoHfiiif.ci.iAot he says, are the largely increased duties on gram ana cereal products, that on wheat rising from the minimum rate of SO cents to JL78 ner 100 ktl duty on horses, now uniform at $476 per neaa, rises to a figure varying from ?21 to $85. Bicycles, instead of will pay $44.70 per 100 kilograms. Slmlia"r increases are reported in other Important siapie exports irom tne United States such as shoes, lumber, machinery, rail road annaratus and rail Most raw materials remain on the free list Agricultural Implements of small type are given reduced duties, which Mr. Mason cites as illustrative of the scrupu lous care with which the new act favors the agricultural as opposed to the indus trial and mercantile classes. He shows that the new dutv on trmlns -wVi'Mi trill b about 5S'A cents rpr hnshM In anmn -ears, would "have been a fair average rnarlffts. whllft on flnur tfcp?v 1 r1nra.A a3LCtIcally prohibitive duty of $4.05 per l?y an ingenious provision of the act. apples In bags, or loose la canal boat loads, when coming from tha neighboring countries, are free during the apple har vest and at all times are under a normil duty, while fruit coming from over-sea or long-rail distances will be assessed 12 per barrel. Mr. Mason says the Ameri can apple, probably could not stand this duty. The Reichstag to be elected in June is depended on to ratify the new treaties, and Mr. Mason says that for this reason the coming election will have an excep tional Interest for other nations thin Germany. POLES MUST BECOME GERMANS. German Minister Gives Decisive An svrer to Complaints from Posen. BERLIN, Jan. 30. Dr. Dziambowskl Pompian, In the Reichstag today, inter pellating Chancellor von Euelow on the discrimination against Poles, cited many examples of alleged injusuce. He said young men who were eligible to volunteer for one year's service in the army were compelled to serve two years, as they were punished for slight offenses in the gym nasium work by prolongation of their term of service. The most painful thing to the Poles, the speaker continued, was the ef fort to eradicate their language. In conclusion, he refererd to the alleged German boycott of Polish merchants and tho invasion of Polish churches by the gendarmes, and said that German letter carriers wrote Insulting remarks on letters addressed in the Polish language. "Interior Secretary vbn Posadowskl Wehner replied that no Polish question, in any international sense, existed for Germany. The Prussian-Polish provinces Would remain Prussian so long as a soldier could be placed In the field. The question must be taken up In the Prussian Diet, and not in the imperial parliament. General von Grossler said CO Polish youths had been tried for having joined a. secret society and taking an oath to de vote their powers to the Polish fatherland and to restoring Polish nationality. These were punished by two weeks or more of Imprisonment and by being deprived for one year of their volunteer privileges. SUGAR CAUSES STORM. Refliiers Invade Austrian Rcichsratli and Are Forcibly Expelled. "VIENNA, Jan. 30. There was a stormy scene in the Reichsrath today over the sugar question, necessitating the sus pension of the sitting. A number of sugar refiners met in one of the committee-rooms without authority, with the object of placing their views before the Legislature, and the majority of the members of the Reichsrath indignantly denounced this as an attempt to estab lish a substitute Parliament within Par liament. The House was soon in a state of pan demonium, filled with the shouts of de nunciation of the members, who wildly josticulated and hurled threats at those who had permitted the "desecration of the Parliamentary precincts." Ine sitting was finally suspended in order to allow of the intruders being turned out of the House. A number of members of the People's party and Socialists Invaded tho committee-room occupied by the sugar re finers, shouting: "Out with the riff-raff." Most of the occupants left the room. Those who refused to go were ejected by force. On the resumption of the sitting the Reichsrath ratified the Brussels sugar convention and then passed the third reading of the sugar taxation bill. STRIKE OX DUTCH RAILROADS. Trafllc Stopped and Steamer Crews Join Railroad Men. AMSTERDAM, Jan. 30. Three hundred engineers and firemen belonging to the state railroads have joined the strike of employes of the transportation companies. A meeting of the railroad employes' union has passed a resolution to the ef fect that If the Dutch Railroad Company persists In carrying the dock companies' freight it will proclaim a general strike of railway and tramway employes throughout the country. About 17,000 men will be" involved. A body of troops numbering 650 Is ex pected to arrive here during the night. A conference was held today of representa tives of the strikers and directors of the Dutch Railroad Company with a view to arriving at some arrangement, but the meeting came to no result. The service on the state railway Is entirely suspended. The crews of steamers leaving Flushing this evening refused to sail If passengers ariving by the state railway were em barked. Travelere for London via this route were therefore unable to proceed. At a mass meeting of strikers held here tonight, a general strike of the Dutch railway men commencing at midnight was declared. During the meeting com munications were received from the vari ous railroad centers throughout Holland, announcing that the men were ready to cease work on a signal from Amsterdam. WILL GIVE MORAL SUPPORT. But Italy Will Not Try to Climb Protection Wall. ROME. Jan. 30. In the Chamber of Deputies today SIgnor Fulcl. Under Sec retary of Commerce, opposed the official participation of Italy at the St. Louis Exposition because, he said, it would be necessary to ask for an appropriation of over $200,000 with no corresponding ad vantage, as the "almost prohibitive du ties of the United States keep out Italian products." Under Secretary Fulcl, however, prom ised the government's moral support and encouragement of private exhibits. SIg nor Santlni said Italy should exhibit for the dignity of the state and in return for the sympathy and help extended by the United States Government to emigrants in the United States. The statement made by Under-Secretary Fulcl Is not regarded as final, as the last word In the matter will depend upon For eign Minister Prlnetti. The medical bul letin issued tonight regarding the latter's condition eays that the Improvement is maintained. MAY REDUCE TAXATION. British. Government Finds Revenue Far Exceeds Estimates. NEW YORK, Jan. 30. Revenue returns are more favorable than everybody has been willing to admit, says a London dis patch to the Tribune. The estimated rev. enue will be exceeded In nearly every In stance. In some, taxation will yield the largest aggregate on record. Customs re ceipts will show a substantial Increase, the coal export, sugar and grain registration duties having largely exceeded the esti mates, and Mr. Chamberlain's work of fers promise of relief for the next fiscal year. A reduction of the income tax by 3 pence Is expected by the financiers and politicians. No probability that the sugar. grain and coal duties will be touched. The grain tax is likely to remain as long as It exerts no appreciable effect on the price of food. There Is no talk of relaxation of It In favor of the colonics. Mr. Cham berlain may have something to say about It in another year. Meanwhile, there Is an academic discussion of the general sub ject of trade relations within the empire. CHAMBERLAIN AT KIMBERLEY. He Warns Cape Colony of Dire Con- scunences of Disloyalty. KIMBERLEY, Cape Colony, Jan. 30. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and Mrs Chamberlain arrived here today and were accorded a remarkable reception. The town was decorated. A gift pre sented jointly by the ladles of Klmberley and De Beers Company was made to Mrs. Chamberlain In the form of a silver bon- bonnlere containing five uncut diamonds, which had been selected by experts, and are valued at 51000. Mr. Chamberlain's visit here Is signifi cant of the strong warning he addressed to Cape Colony at a banquet given In his honor this evening. Discussing the pros pect of the early concession of self-gov ernment and the attainment ot federation. he took occasion to warn the people of Cape Colony that "unless they direct their cause with more loyalty and better judg ment than have been lately shown they run very serious risks of being left out In the cold when federation comes." Mr. Chamberlain will start tomorrow on a drive to the battle-field of Paarde berg, and from there will proceed to Bloemfontein on Monday. SULTAN GOES OUT TO FIGHT. Accepts Pretender's Challenge to Escape Brand of Coyrurdlcc. IrONDON, Jan. 31. According to a dis patch from Tangier, published in the Morning Leader, the Moorish pretender, Buhamara. sent a challenge to the Sul tan accusing him of cowardice in re maining within the walls of Fez, where it was impossible to attack him, because Fez is a holy city, and calling on him to give battle outside the walls of that city. The Sultan, in despair, accepted the chal lenge, and has ordered the concentration of the troops. The correspondent of the Times at Tan gier telegraphs that the Sultan is about to send his uncle, Mulai Arafa, to the Algerian frontier to prevent the spread of the rebellion to that part of the coun try, France having threatened .the Sultan with active measures to protect Algeria from the danger of a fanatical rising, even though such measures involve the invasion of Moorish territory.

In official quarters hore it Is admitted that Count von Waldersee may go to the United States, but this. It Is added, has not yet been decided. The date of his proposed departure is also uncertain. June has been mentioned, but that month Is regard ed as being too late in the Summer, and the unveiling, probably will be postponed until the Autumn. FR03I ROME TO AMERCIA. Italian. "Government Proposes to Es tablish, Wireless Telegraph. ROME, Jan. 30.

The Chamber subsequently ratified the Brussels sugar convention. Mny Quarrel With Afghans. LONDON, Jan. 30. There has been a long-standing dispute between Afghanis tan and the Indian Government concern ing the transfer through British terri tory of a large quantity of German-made guns and ammunition, which was landed some time ago at the Indian port of Karachi, and Is now lying at Peshawur awaiting transport to Cabul. According to a dispatch from Peshawur, published In this morning's Dally Mall, the Indian Government has finally declined to allow Its removal, and this decision is expected to cause trouble In Afghanistan. London Has a Bad Scare.. LONDON, Jan. 30. As the result of ex periments made In consequence of the re cent typhoid scare, the medical office of the London district has Issued an alarm ing report in which he condemns the whole estuary of the Thames5 as being contaminated by sewage. Not only oys ters and cockles, says tho report, but whitebait and smelts must be viewed with suspicion. The Thames fisheries af ford employment to a large population, and the report will start an agitation for some more effectual means of disposing of London's sewage. Devotees of Stuart Regime.

Vice-Governor von Estorf, of German Southwest Africa, has resigned and is returning home because of a disagreement in Berlin with his policy toward Immigrant Boers, in permitting the establishment of Dutch Reformed congregations under the authority of the Cape Town Presbytery.

Cannda Never Raised Question Until Klondike Gold Made It Desir able to Have Seaport. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Representa tive Sulzer, of New York, entertained the House a few days ago with a Datriotie speech on the Alaska boundary question, in which he took the position that there should be no Alaska boundary question at an; that the boundary was fixed years ago, and should stand now, as it stood for years, up to the time of the discovery of gold In Alaska and the Yukon territory. in tne course of his speech Sulzer said: "I have been to Alaska several times.. I have been over this boundary line. I have talked to people there who know. and I say without fear of successful con tradiction that since gold was discovered In the Klondike the Northwest Mounted Police, acting, we must assume, for the Canadian government, have moved the boundary monuments that the Russians set up years ago, marking the boundary line of the territory that Russia ceded to the United States under the treaty, miles and miles nearer the Pacific Ocean and more and more on American terri tory. If any one here doubts it, let me say that there are several people In Washington at this time vfrom Alaska who can give unimpeachable testimony to the fact. Port of Entry Sought. "Let me say that one of the schemes involved in thi3 alleged boundary dispute is simply this: The Canadian govern mentand by that I mean, of course. Great Britain has no port of entry on the Pacific Ocean to the Klondike and to the great Yukon territory. The Ca nadians want a port of entry on the Lynn Canal, near Skagway or near Dyea, so they can take their goods, wares and merchandise through without duty. That is what they want. And, to accomplish It. they have moved the boundary line at Telegraph Creek on the Stlcklne River several miles westward on American ter ritory, and they have moved the bound ary' line at Skagway and at Dyea several miles westward on American territory. There is no doubt about this. Witnesses living can testify to it. The Canadian maps will show It. Everybody In Alaska knows It, The boundary line must- be put back where It belongs." After reviewing the events that led up to the negotiation of the modus vivendl, Mr. Sulzer adds: "Tho feeling at that time In Alaska was so Intense regarding this matter that the Secretary of State and the Ambas sador of the United States to Great Brit ain entered into an agreement with tho British Foreign Office, or, more particu larly speaking, into what is known as the 'modus vivendl.' The Secretary of State agreed to that, and from that day to this, under the modus vivendl, every thing Is supposed to be in statu quo sup posed to be suspended suspended like Mahomet's coffin, somewhere between heaven and earth. Where It Is and what It Is nobody who is somebody seems to know, but It appears to be enough to put us all to sleep. We must not- sleep, however. If the Americans are not alert, If they are not vigilant, if we do not maintain our rights, I say It is only a question of time when the Canadian gov ernment will creep on a little more and more until It will get a port of entry on the Lynn Canal. Anytbinpr for a Port. "The Canadian government is willing, and nobody knows it better than the gen tlemen on the Joint High Commission between the United States and Canada, to concede to the United States practi cally everything in dispute regarding our fisheries, commercial matters and all other things in dispute, provided the Gov ernment of the United States will give the Canadian government a port of entry in Alaska. They are willing to take Dyea, an abandoned town on the Lynn Canal, where all the houses stand empty today, mute witnesses of Its desertion, as a port of entry anything, In fact, so long as they can get a port on the Pa cific in Alaska. When the Yukon and "White Pass Railroad was built. Skagway became the Western terminal and the port of entry to the Yukon, and Dyea, just across the canal, was abandoned and deserted. "The Canadian scheme of pushing through United States territory to an outlet on the Pacific Ocean may lead some day to serious results. "Fifty-four forty or fight" Is not yet dead. It may be a shibboleth of another great" political campaign, and no back down. "The Alaska boundary question Is brought up again and again by reports that Canadian officers have, removed es tablished monuments. There should be no Alaska boundary' question at all. The boundary line was settled absolutely in the treaties between Great Britain and Russia, and Russia and the United States, and it was not disputed for nearly 75 years. We bought certain territory which it was conceded that Russia owned and we paid for It; and no United States of ficial should ever have dared to treat the matter as open to doubt or discussion. Canada's Claim a Fraud. "The claim set up by Canada, through Great Britain, is a barefaced fraud; the controversy on the matter was a piece of unspeakable folly on our part; and toe adoption of the modus vivendl was the first step in some mysterious scheme which may mean the loss of a strip of our Pacific Coast line. Great Britain never had any title to the Pacific Coast, but she succeeded in bullying us out of that part of It known as British Colum bia. I say again we should have stood by the declaration, 'Fifty-four forty or fight"; , but we lacked the foresight. Seward' did something, all that was pos sible, to retrieve that weakness yhen he bought the whole Pacific Coast north ward, and day by day our diplomatists have been preparing the way for an other surrender of our plain rights. Pres ident Roosevelt, we are told, means to look Into this matter himself and act. "The Lynn Canal is a great body of water a magnificent arm of the Pacific Ocean almost as large, and for strategic al and commercial purposes, as Impor tant as Long Island Sound. If the Cana dians could once get a port of entry there, they could take In all their goods and mer chandise into the vast Yukon territory without let or hindrance. They could for tify It and bid us defiance at some criti cal time when we least expected It. They would then have a port on the Pacific Ocean In the great Northwest, a port that would bring them hundreds and hundreds of miles nearer the Orient than they are today. That is what they want, that la what they are after, and that Is about the whole question Involved In this boundary dispute." SHIPPING TRUST OFFICERS Men Who Will Manage Morgan's Great Combination.

Stuarts Catarrh Tablets deserves to head tho ,list as a household remedy, to check and break up coughs and colds, be cause unlike many other catarrh and cough cures these tablets contain no opi ate, cocaine or any Injurious drag.
