HARD NUT FOR POPE TO CRACK. Selection of Secretnry Is Dally Be coming More Complicated. ROME, Aug. 7. The selection of a new papal secretary of state is dally becoming i moro complicated, as there Is a division ' in the Sacred College such as existed be fore the election of Plus X. There Is a strong sentiment In favor of the reap pointment of Cardinal Rampolla. because he is conversant with all papal affairs, and Cardinal Ferraratl, who belongs to the "Rampolla party," is also suggested. The letter's opponents Intimate that as he was nuncio at Paris, he mig'ht not be agreeable to some of the powers, and be sides it Is pointed out that he voted against the pope in the conclave, except on the last ballot Plus offered the position twice to Cardinal AgliardI, who declined to ,givo up the vice-chancellorship of the church. Cardinal Satolll also declined on the ground that he was not sufficiently ac quainted with the French language, and he knew too little of foreign questions generally, except those relating to Amer ica. He sugested Cardinal Vicenzl Van nutellL Negotiations are proceeding to have Car dinal AgliardI. while retaining the vice chancellorship, assume the secretaryship of state temporarily. XO POLITICS J.N THE CONCLAVE. MASSES ARE A6AINST TURKEY Any Massacre of PeacefHl People In District of Revolution Is Likely to Be Avenged Rebels Driven to Uprising. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 7. The fresh in surrectionary outbreak la Macedonia, which was believed to be 'impossible, has produced a sensation everywhere. It is believed that the latest provocations by the Turkish troops drove the Insurrection ists to desDalr. The Bulgarian govern ment Is resolved to maintain friendly re- latlons with the( Porte and to prevent bands from crossing the frontier, but a popular movement Is feared in the event of a massacre of peaceful Macedonians by the Turkish soldiery. Meetings of prominent Macedonians were held todayq and measures for suc coring the sufferers from the insurrection were discussed, but no decision was reached. ' Porte will continue Its present policy of fighting the bands with regulars. Of the eight battalions of infantry dis patched to Monastlr. four will remain at Monastlr, three will occupy the heights of Perister, to the westward of Monastlr. and one will go to Florin, a town of 1100 In habitants, 17 miles southwest of Monastlr. The Porte has sent categorical instruc tions to the vails of the Armenian prov inces of Asia Minor, holding them per sonally responsible for any Kurdish ex cesses and ordering vigorous measures to be taken to prevent fighting. The British Vice-Consul at BItlls has been ordered to proceed, to Much. SO miles south of Erze roum, where the Armenian massacres by the Kurds and the Turks occurred In 1S34, to investigate the situation there. A Con sular dispatch! ItovI Erzeroum received" here this morning, soys the excitement in that district is dying out, but that the Vail of Erzeroum advises that 600 armed Hutchaklsts from Russian territory have compelled the Armenians in the villages of Sassun Vilayet (also the scene of Ar menian massacres In lS3i) to take refuge in the mountains. The Vail has sent four battalions of troops against Hutchaklsts who escaped to the mountains. The Porte has communicated this Information to the Russian Embassy, calling attention to the fact that the bands came from Russian territory- All Tales of Intrigue Declared to Be AVI tb out Foundation. NEW YORK, Aug. 1. The Rome corre spondent of the Times, cabling by way of London, discredits the "old misconcep tions." fostered chiefly by the Continental press, concerning the conduct of the Sa cred College before and during the delib erations in the conclave. He recalls the strange tales of intrigues, counter in trigues, private rancors and petty feuds which were told at the time of the con clave which elected Leo XTTI and which were afterward disproved when the true history of the conclave was written, and he says the same process has been taking place during the conclave of Plus X. As it Is useless to protest the corre spondent says In conclusion, one must bo content to state the firm conviction, based on the closest and most careful observa tion of the recent proceedings, that thecon duct of the members of the Sacred College before and after the conclave was abso lutely In accordance with their high of fice, their grave responsibility and the dictates of the religious conscience. Nature of Gibbons' Illness. ROME. Aug. 7. Cardinal Gibbons, who was today reported 111. is merely suffering from Intestinal trouble, due to excessive heat and fatigue. His illness Is not re garded as serious. BRITAIN MINIMIZES TROUBLE. Still It Is Serloas JSnousht to War rant Taking: of Precautions. LONDON, Aug. 7. Confidential reports received at the Foreign Office regarding Macedonia, have caused the British gov ernment to adopt the view that the situa tion is not very serious for tho moment although sufficiently so to warrant the takine of nrecautlons. Rrltish nffirlnl do not believe that Turkey contemplates ' an attack on Bulgaria In view of the known attitude of the powers, especially Russia and Austria. "As far as officials representing Balkan states here are aware, tne Macedonian ; committee does not possess sufficient , funds to inaugurate a successful revolu tion, but It hopes, by continuing the ex isting unrest to ultimately bring about the Interference of the powers which signed the Berlin treaty. Joseph Angel off, the first diplomatic agent of Bul garia in London, said today: "But for the far-seeing policy of Prince Ferdinand and the iron hand he has on the Bulgarian Ministry, there would cer tainly have been a general uprising on beha. of Macedonia. The feeling at the heart of every Bulgarian Is to go to Macedonia, but this cannot be. We shall continue to make representations to the Porte for reforms and better gpvernment in Macedonia. Bulgaria is disturbed to the quick over Macedonia, but there will be no disturbance of tho present peace." SEEK REVENGE ON BULGARIANS. Macedonians Stlrrlnjc Up Turkey to Have Enemies Massacred. VIENNA, Aug. 7. The Foreign Office Is absolutely without Information regarding the fresh outbreaks in the Balkans, and Is not Inclined to believe that the situa tion Is really dangerous. The diplomats are convinced that so long as Austria and Russia maintain their present attitude any serious outbreak is improbable. One of the principal explanations of the reported fresh outbreaks is- that the har vest being over, large numbers of men leaving work have Joined the bands in Macedonia, but a general revolutionary movement appears to be unexpected. It Is thought that the Macedonia com mittees are following their former policy of inciting attacks upon the Turkish Mo hammedans, In the hope of exciting the Turks to massacre the Bulgarians In re venge. It is believed that Turkey Is well pre pared to put down any revolution, there being 0,000 troops in the disaffected prov inces, in addition to large reserves. Insurgents Near Salonlca. SALONICA.

PLANS OF REBELS MISCARRY. Bulgarian Uprising Begun Two Weeks Ahead of Time. CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 6 (Delayed in transmission) News received here as to the extent of the Bulgarian revolutionary movement in the vilayet of Monastlr Is conflicting. In consular dispatches from Monastlr, which were received this morn ing, the opinion is expressed that the in surrection broke out a fortnight before Its chief intended, and before the bands were In readiness, presumably because the leaders were disconcerted by the active preventive measures adopted by the au thorities. The Bulgarian inhabitants of a number of villages have fled to the mountains for refuge. The railways nave asked that the troops guarding the lines be quadrupled, but this would entail the employment of 20,000 soldiers, and In view of the Impov erished treasury the government will find it difficult to comply with the request In spite of reports to the contrary. It Is confidently believed In well-informed quarters that the Porte, in conformity with its formal declarations, will employ only regular troops to suppress the Insur rection, as It is well aware It is Important for Turkey to avoid excesses, such as certainly would be the outcome of the employment of the undisciplined Alban ians or other irregular soldiers. The dip lomats here entertain no doubt that the Turks Rout Bulgarians. SALONICA, Aug. 7. Four battalions of Turkish troops, supported by artillery, yesterday met and routed abody of 1700 Bulgarians, near Sorovltch. HARD BLOW TO CHAMBERLAIN. Board of Trade and the Treasury Declares Against Protection. LONDON, Aug. 7. The Dally Mall this morning says that it understands that the permanent officials of the Board of Trade and of the Treasury have unanimously ad vised against the opinion of Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain's proposals for giving the British colonies preferences, based on the taxation of foods, and adds: "This Is practically the end of the in quiry to which Premier Balfour frequently referred, and the decision may be expected to have the greatest influence in determ ining Mr. Balfour's attitude to be an nounced in his public utterances during the recess." The Dally Mall says that this decision is a death-blow to Mr. Chamberlain's pro gramme as -It has little doubt that the Premier will decide against him. DISSATISFACTION IS WIDENING.
