FEAR FOR LIS1
Macedonians Expect a
General Massacre.
REVERSES EXCITE TURKS
Mussulmen Threaten to Slay
the Christians.
TERRIBLE OUTRAGES ALREADY
In undents Are Gaining Many Ke
emits, Ewpeclally From Bulgaria,
"Where the Young: Men Are
Fleeing: to Take Up Arms.
LONDON. Aug. 13. The Dally Mail this
morning prints a dispatch from Belgrade
which says that the Macedonian Insur
gents never appear in great numbers,
but in scattered detachments, thus baf
fling the Turkish troops and avoiding
open encounters. They confine them
selves mostly to the destruction of vil
lages and crops, expecting in this way to
compel the populace to Join the rebellion.
The Turkish soldiers are powerless to
deal with these small bands, but to
show that they are active they occas
ionally loot peaceful Christian villages
and perpetrate the most terrible out
rages under the pretense of combating
the insurgents. Has hi Bazouks have be
come the curse of the villages. They rob
and murder indiscriminately, and an
archy reigns.
A climax of terrible massacres may oc
cur at any time. Even at Belgrade the
Mussulmans aro beginning to arm them
selves. The Turks now threaten re
course to dynamite. As far as known
the following villages have been de
stroyed: Korrtschu, Nared. Narakov,
Koslnctz, Schleve. Llchnaderes. Vladovo,
Ostrcvo, Sorovitch, Eskischu, Bakitz and
Jezer. On Tuesday the rebels failed in
an attempt to set fire to Monastlr. The
corresp indent regards the situation as
desperate.
The Times prints a dispatch from Sofia
which says that the Turkish authorities
at Vlllum have distributed 50 rifles to
the Mussulman population, which already
threatens the Christians with massacre.
HI LG ARIA IS MUCH ALARMED.
Intervention by l'uiren Will Alone
Prevent a Mnnxncre. .
SOFIA. Aug. 12. The whole Bulgarian
government takes a decidedly pessimistic
view of the situation and the officers
openly express their fears that a general
massacre of the Christians In Macedonia
is inevitable, possibly within four days and
almost certainly within a fortnight. In
tervention by the powers Is believed the
only way to prevent bloodshed. Mean
while the government continues to main
tain lis peaceful attitude, but it believes
that a suddeii.oylqpmjsntofjaffairs
arross too border may at any moment ren
der the authorities poworless to prevent
war.
The reports from Bulgarian official agents
In Macedonia show that the affairs are
rapld.y growing worse. The fact that the
Mussulman people arc becoming excited
and congregating in the mosques is re
garded as a bad feature, indicating the
possibility that a massacre may occur
within a very short time. It Is feared that
euch a massacre would cover a wide area
and include both the large towns and the
vlllagts, and that the Turkish soldiers
would provo incapable of restraining the
Mussulmans, even if they desired to do so.
whicn is by no means certain.
Mor.astir now contains only four battal
ions of Turkish troops, two consisting of
raw recruits who will be quite unreliable
in the event of serious trouble. It Is
thought quite posslblo that tho troops
might even aid the Mussulmans in slaugh'
term? tho Christians.
Turkey lUaiueil for the Outbreak.
The officials hero blame Turkey for the
present sudden outbreak, attributing it
largely to tho action of the Porte In in
stltutlng a search for arms in the vil
lager
The government also charges Turkey
with txlng less to prevent the insurgents
from crossing the frontier than Bulgaria,
though Turkey maintains four times as
I many troops along tho border. The Turk
iah scldlers invariably retire to barracks
I at subset and remain there until sunrise.

Idee Lured that the present ministry" Is doing
ts utmost to check the revolutionary
movement, but the situation is reaching a
ptlr.t where circumstances may prove too
iBtfrcrg for the Cabinet. The growing eco
Inpmu depression in the country const!
Itotes a dangerous factor in tho situation.
Whole Outbreak a Great Surprise.
The most astonishing feature of the stt-
luatlcn here is the remarkable quietude
I with which tho people havo received Ahe
news cf the fresh rioting In Macedonia.
I The whole outbreak camo as a great sur-
Iprlse, even to the local revolutionary com
Emitters, which woro not prepared for so
early a rising. In 'spile of the stirring
appeals of the committees, little or no
popular enthusiasm is apparent, not even
imong tho 30.000 Macedonian residents of
jfla. How long this condition will last
k2cpcj-s largely upon the developments in
laccdonla. At present tho center of the
!Uturbances is Monastlr. a. long way off.
Khculd the rising spread to the villayet
:f t akub and come to the Bulgarian fron
tier, it is probable that the population of
iuarla will became aroused.
HI2DI2LS GAINING MANY RECRUITS

CONS1ANTINOPLE. Aug. 12. One
hundred and fifty revolutionists were

gents who have occupied Krushevo. after
repulsing two assaults by the Turkish
troops, offered a conditional surrender. In

the insurgents, has been repaired, several
strong bands recently crossed the frontier
of Eastern Macedonia.

the Acting Russian Consul at Uskub,
who has been appointed to succeed M.
Rostkovoskl, the murdered Consul at
Monastlr. reached that town today.
Some anxiety had been felt for his safe
ty, as nothing had been heard of him
since ho left his post at Uskub a couple
of days ago. The Mutesarlf of tho Uskub
district refused to give Dr. Mandelstam
an escort. The Consul insisted on pro

started on his own responsibility across
.country .for .Monastlr.

Tliey rnssed. for Crawford.
PARIS, Aug. It Witnesses at the
Humbert trial today formally and posi
tively Identified Romoin and Emlle d'Au
rignac, Mme. Thorese Humbert's broth
ers, as being the men who impersonated
the "American millionaires," Robert and
Henry Crawford. Other witnesses testi
fied that the signatures of the two Craw
fords were executed by the two d'Aurlg
nacs. Personal identifications wore given
by a notary, Dupuy, a court clerk named
d'Essehe. of Bayonne, before whom the
alleged Crawfords took out, legal papers
which were used in keeping off the cred
itors of the Humbert family.
Aftor Notary Dupuy had described the
visit to him of tho alleged Crawford
brothers, the court directed Romain d'Au
rignac to stand u The witness then
formally recognized Romain as the one
who had taken out the Crawford papers.
The witness was less sure about Emlle.
"Inspect him closely." ordered the
judge. "Do you formally recognize Ro
main d'Aurignac?"
"I am absolutely sure," answered the
witness.
Judge Bonnet than addressed Romain,
saying:
"You are the object of a formal Identi
fication." "But that does not astonish me," an
swered Romain sarcastically.
Camllle Lagrande, a government archi
tect, swore from a comparison 1 of tie
handwriting that Romain and Emlle
d'Aurignac had each played the parts of
Robert and Henry Crawford.

Sympathy of the- Educated Classes.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Latest reports

Times by way of London, say GO persons
were killed by the Cossacks in last Thurs-'
day's riots. The correspondent asserts
that the sympathy of the educated classes
is with the workmen, as the strike move
ment is directed not only for tho ameliora
tion of labor conditions, bat also against
the system of government. The workmen,
it is added, are regarded as the pioneers
in the movement for political freedom.

NEW YORK. Aug. 12. All difficulties
existing between Brazil and. Bolivia have
been overcome, cables the Rio de Janeiro

the amicable arrangement is as follows:

and will build a harbor on the River Ma
deira and a railway from Mamor to Ma

Seaboard Air Line Will Hereafter
Work in Harmony With the
Rock Island and the 'Frisco
Companies. .
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. The long-ex
pected announcement that the Seaboard
Air Line had passed practically into
new hands was made today by Laden-
burg, Thalman & Co., who issued a
statement showing that interests repre
senting the Rock Island and the St.
Louis & San Francisco had secured rep
resentation in the Seaboard directorate
and board of .voting trustees. The offi
cial statement was as follows:
B. F. Yoakum and H. Clay Pierce, of
Ladenburg, Thalman & Co., and Oakley
Thorn e, president of the North" American
Trust Company, have been elected vot
ing trustees of tho Seaboard Air Line.
John S. Williams also announces that
B. F. Yoakum, H. Clay Pierce, Oakley
Thome and S. B. Van Vorst have been
elected directors of the Seaboard Air
Line.
Mr. Yoakum is president of the St.
Louis & San Francisco road, for which
company J. P. Morgan & Co. are fiscal
agents.
The ofllcial announcement also said:
"The change of personnel of voting
trustees of the stock of the Seaboard
Air Lino Company does not mean the
purchase of the company by Rock Island
or 'Frisco Interests, although the 'Frisco
lines extend Into Birmingham and are
a part of the Southern situation. It does.
however, emphasize the fact that all
the great railway systems are carrying
out the policy of more closely cement
ing the railway Interests of the country,'
which will greatly retard, and, it is
hoped, entirely prevent demoralization
of the rate situation, or the unnecessary
construction and duplication of prop
erty." Significance of the Deal.
One of the voting trustees, when asked
to state the real significance of the deal
said It meant a "better understanding
among interests that have at different
times conflicted."
The policy of the Seaboard Air Lino
for a long time was one of absolute
independence, so much so as to make
it at times inimical to the Interests of
opposing roads in adjacent territory.
Today's development it is thought, will
uu uwuy wiui suii irouoie in uie xuiure.
The light between socalled "Morgan in
terests," represented by the Southern
Railway and the "Seaboard Air Line peo
ple, during the: last few years has been
a sharp one. In contrast with the old
time rate-cutting, which the Seaboard In
dulged in, it has been significant that
in recent years it nas nau a sort or
silent understanding to maintain rates,
so that all of the railroads In Southern
territory would be able to get as much
profit as possible out of their traffic.
Extent of the System.
The Seaboard Air Line Railway Com
pany, operating 2611 miles of road, was
formed under the laws of Virginia in
19CO to succeed the old Richmond, Peters
burg and Carolina inroad. The system
now extends from Klchmond, Va., to
Tampa; Fla.. with connections extending
west to Montgomery and Birmingham
and east to Charleston, W ilmington and
Norfolk. A traffic agreement with the
Pennsylvania a'nd a through passenger
and freight service Is maintained be
tween Washington and New York.
The Seaboard Air Line also owns the
Bay Line Steamship Company, operating
from Baltimore to Norfolk.
FIGHT "WITH TOBACCO TRUST OX.
Argument Is BeRnii in Salt Broaght
to Have Receiver :Va inert.
NEWARK, N. J.. Aug. 12. Before the
resumption of argument today to show
cause why a receiver should not be ap
pointed for the Universal Tobacco Com
pany, Vice-Chancellor Pitney called coun
sel on both sides together In on endeavor
to effect a settlement, pointing out that If
he should appoint a temporary receiver
the matter would go to the Federal Court
and that If President Butler and his
friends pressed thslr claims the company
would become Insolvent. As the lawyers
appeared unablo or unwilling to come, to
any agreement, the Bearing was contin
ued, and Jullen F. Davis, of counsel for
the complainants, continued the argument
begun by him yesterday.
Judge Gilbert Collins, also of counsel
for the complainants, followed. He set
forth a number of reasons why a receiver
should bo appointed. He was followed by
Attorney-General McCarter, for the com
pany, who opposed the appointment of a
receiver. He said a majority of the stock
holders had a right to vote as they
pleased in the matter and could ignore the
minority entirely. In support of his posi
tion he quoted a recent decision in the
case of J. Asplnwall Hodge et al. against
the United States Steel Corporation. Vice
Chancellor Pitney, Interrupting, said:
"I am amazed that any court should
make such a ruling. It.does not seem
possible that the minority stockholders can
be discriminated against in such a man
ner. I am firmly of the opinion that such
a voting trust is illegal."
After recess Attorney-General McCarter
opened for the defense. He said it would
be demonstrated that Butler did not form
the company, but that Tilford and Wilson,
Wall street operators, organized the con
cern; that they suggested that a Turko
Russian tobacco company be purchased,
and came to Butler; that a syndicate was
formed with Tilford and Wilson aa man
agers, and that on February 21 an agree
ment was made that the rights of the
common stock were' to be vested In a
"voting trust." For this Attorney-General
McCarter said they received as commis
sion 10,000 shares.
Butler. McCarter asserted, would not go
Into the scheme, which might Involve a
sale to the tobacco trust, unless there
was a voting trust, his Intention being to
put In men whom Tie could rely on, and to
become a rival to the trust."
WANTS SHIP TRUST TO PAY UP.
Xciv York Concern Brlnen Snlt to

HARTFORD. Conn.. Aug. 12. A bill in
equity was filed today in the United
States Circuit Court here by the Mercan
tile Trust Company of New York, as
trustee, against the United States Ship
building Company and the Eastern Ship

sel, the Dakota, now on the stocks at the

The complaint says the property of the
two companies was merged in May, 1902.
Bonds were Issued to the amount of J16,

given to the plaintiff to secure its holding
of $10,000,000 worth of the bonds. Action
is now brought to foreclose this mort

TRADE KEEPS UP WELL.
Xo Evidence of a Recession In Com
mercial Activities.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Internal com
merce conditions In the United States, as
reporced by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, through its Bureau of Statis
tics, shows that the first half of the cur
rent year compares favorably with the
corresponding period In 1902 or 1901. With
a few exceptions, the volume of trade
thus far this year equalled, if not ex
ceeded, that of last year, though occa
sionally falling below the high level of
1201. There is no evidence of a general
recession In commercial activities corre
sponding to the extraordinary shrinkage
in speculative values.
"Western staples for this year have
gained materially over last year, receipts
of livestock at five markets having
amounted to 15.12C.661 head, compared with
14.95S,3-15 head in the first six months of
1902, and 15.7l0.COO head in 1901. The nu
merical decrease from 190i occurred In
hogs, which have been averaging equal to
or heavier than in 1901, and much heavier
than in 1902. Coincident with this, the
trend of prices for hogs has been down
ward. The price at Chicago on July 1
was J5.73 per hundred, against 17.61 a
year ago.
Wheat receipts at eight Interior markets
for the crop year ending June 30. 1903, were
226,675,663 bushels, compared with 221.766.3S7
bushels in 1602 and 217.C6S.743 bushels in
1901. The total shipments of provisions
from Chicago and Chicago points for the
first 25 weeks of 1903 were 621,135 tons,
against 653417 tons In the same period of
1902, and 566,029 tons In 1S0L Shipments
of flour from Minneapolis wero 8,379,625
barrels, 7.6S3.7GS barrels, and 7,218,721 bar
