RUSSIA. TO WITHDRAW FLEET
PARIS, Aug. 21. Official advices say
the Russian squadron off Inlda Is like
ly to leave Turkish urate ra -within tho
next few days, as tho Turkish govern-
merit has given adequate assurances
that It "trill meet all the Eurasian de
mands. The -withdrawal -will be chiefly
due to Turkey's assurances; hut also to
Hues la's dcelro to avoid a step which
might appear antagonistic to Bulgaria.
SOFIA, Aug. 21. All tho dispatches re
ceived here today indicate that the revolu
tion in Macedonia Is spreading. The sit
uation is causing intense anxiety in Offi
cial circles. The most alarming news re
bates to an attack covering a considerable
urea In the eastern part of the Adrlanople
Vilayet, where the insurgents have cap
tured the town of "Vasillko. They took
the chief Turkish officials prisoners, and
brought them to the Bulgarian frontier,
where they liberated them. The Turkish
officials, fearing to return to Vasillko,
sought refuge with the Bulgarian authori
ties, who sent them to a hotel In Burgas,
where they were at liberty to remain or
depart
The insurgents burned the villages
around Vasillko and attacked a Turkish
military post at the Monastery of Elijah.
The eastern part of the Adrlanople Vila
yet Is a mountainous region, and the vll
lages are few and scattered. Tho strength
of the insurgents is unknown. It is
thought the outbreak is not an organized
movement, but is intended to draw the
Turkish troops from the other districts.
New Danger In Outbreak.
Tha peculiar danger of tho latest out
break lies in its proximity to the Bui
garlan frontier, thus creating a situation
long foreseen and dreaded by the Sofia
government. The Turks are now certain
to send a considerable force to this terri
tory to suppress the outbreak, which will
necessitate the strengthening of the BuU
garlan troops along the frontier. With
the two armies close to each other, un
der tho present strained relations, the sit
uation becomes extremely desperate. The
Bulgarian Government is taking every
possible step to prevent a commercial
amity, but tho officials express the grav
est concern.
In addition to the danger of a collision
"between the military forces, there is no
smaller one of popular excitement get
ting beyond control and forcing the gov- I
ernment to adopt a belligerent attitude.
Meanwhile, tho community remains quiet,
even the Macedonian part of the popula
tion showing no popular anxiety and en
thusiasm. Insurgents Barn Village.
Tho Insurgents completely burned Vas
illko and also 12 villages. in the neighbor
hood. The Bulgarian officials arrested
the Insurgents who brought the Turkish
officials at Vasillko to the Bulgarian
frontier. Severe fighting is reported to
be proceeding near Gehgele, with heavy
losses on both sides.
The Sofia Dnevjlk declares all the
Turkish vilayets In Macedonia will be in
full revolt August 28, and that tho rev
olution Is spreading from Salonlca into
the districts toward Seres. Several new
banda have appeared In the district of
Voden, southeast from Monastlr. A gen
eral panic prevails in the vilayet of
Uskub, where the Inhabitants are hiding
their property. Tho Turkish and Chris
tian Inhabitants at Kumanovo have
agreed mutually to support each other
in tho event of an attack either by in
surgent bands or Turkish soldiers.
At Kratovo, half of the Turkish gar
rison has deserted, the men saying they
have enough to do at home. The Turkish
authorities have mobilized their whole
forces in Macedonia, numbering 18,000
men. A largo body of Asiatic troops is
ready to move. Twenty-four regiments
are only awaiting their marching orders.
Rich Macedonian Arrested.
The Macedonian revolutionary organi
sation is levying heavy assessments on
the rich Macedonians resident in Bulga
ria. They have drawn up a complete list
of names with the amounts to be de
manded against each.
Russia's move in sending warships to
Turkish waters has caused surprise in
diplomatic circles and disapproval and
regret in government quarters. The fool
ing expressed here is that It enn only
do harm In Inclining the insurgents who
are ignorant of the complications of Eu
ropean politics, to the belief that Russia
is supporting thoir cause against the
Turks. It is also conjectured that. Rus
sia having apparently acted without first
consulting Austria, some rifts, have oc
curred In the concert of the powers.
Whatever may "be the explanation, the
feeling here is that Russia's movement
can bnly have the result of giving a
great impetus to the revolutionary move
ment. SCORES THEM FOR HUMBERT.
Labor 1 Brines Several Officials Into
the Noted Swindle Case.
PARIS, Aug. 2L Public interest Is
growing more Intense as the Humbert
trial Is nearlng Its conclusion, and the
crowds at tho Palace of Justice were
much augmented this morning.
Among those who had places near the
Judges today was Senora Castro, wife of
tho president of Venezuela, who was ac
companied by the Venezuelan Minister.
Maltre Laborl continued his address for
the defense, averring that the larger cred
itors had acted through attorneys, who
should be held responsible, while the
small creditors would have been paid If
the Rente Vlagere had not been wrecked
through the premature prosecution of the
Humberts.
Maltre Laborl caused a considerable
sensation by a bitter denunciation of M.
Cattaul. the money-lender, for prosecut
ing tho Humberts, and Incidentally men
tioning M. Waldeck-Rousseau's and M.
Vine's part in the prosecution. He de
clared the political party leaders bad be
come degenerate. M. Ville, counsel
pointed out, was hired as attorney
against Humbert, and afterward became?
Minister of Justice, supervising thelr
prosecutlcn. M. Cattaul, he asserted, be
longed to tho class which is brlnglns dis-
honor to France and seeking to gain all
through, the use of money, thus corrupt
ing the public administration.
The charge of Maltre Labor!, although
avoiding specific declarations, reflected
severely on the chief persons in the De-
partrnent ox Justice. He asserted the
existence of the Crawfords. and main
tained that the prosecution had failed to
establish that they and the millions did
not exist.
The trial was adjourned until tomorrow.
BRITAIN" WILL TAKE NO PART.
Foreign Oflee Denies It Is In Favor
of a Great Naval Demo nt ration.
LONDON', Aug. a. The Turkish Am
bassador called at the Foreign Office to
make Inquiries regarding the report that
it was the Intention of the powers to
make a joint naval demonstration in
Turkish waters, and to enter a protest If
anything were contemplated. The For
eign Offlce officials made It clear to him
that Great Britain has taken no action
of this character, and It appears as If
Italy will also refrain from carrying out
her decision to dispatch warships to Tur-
wey, as tho Italian Embassy says no re
port of their departure has yet been re
ceived. This is taken by the Emoassy
to indicate that there have been develop
ments making the step inadvisable or
unnecessary at the present moment, per
haps due to the Turkish acceptance of
the Russian demands, which was con
firmed, at the Turkish Embassy.
The negotiations respecting Macedonia
are conducted on the Continent, Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne and most of the.
Ambassadors being away from London.
The Turkish Ambassador leaves Lon
don tomorrow for the country, where he
will remain for some days.
The diplomats point out that the scheme
for a settlement of the Macedonian ques
tion, outlined by the Independents Beige
yesterday, could not be approved by the
powers, as It Is evident Turkey would
never submit to a peaceful occupation olj
Turkish official said this could only be
done after fighting.

Reichstag, on account pf their Increased
representation and other parties appear

NO FEAR OF LABOR,
Roosevelt1? Union Policy Not
Dangerous.
POLITICIANS DISCOUNT ALARM
Conditions ia Government Printing:
Office' Held Long: to Have Been a
Disgrace, Because of Mixing of
Business and Politics.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Speclal. A
special from Washington to the Evening
Post tonight says:
"President Roosevelt's stand on the
union labor question is nowhere nearly so
dangerous, politically, according to the
opinion of advisers- of long experience, as
some of the persons who took alarm at
publication of his letters In the Miller
case would have made him believe.
"The conditions In the public service
brought to light by the Miller case have
long been a disgrace. It has been fre
quently pointed out in these dispatches
that the Government printing offlce has
been so absolutely under the control of
the union that whenever unionism and
political Influence have come squarely into
contact, interesting results have followed.
One stubborn man for years pulled a
swinging door open with a cord when
ever anybody desired to go through, al
though he had the capacity of a first-class
operative, and -wis drawing the salary of
one. He would not join the union he was
Southerner and his political pull was
sufficient. Southern Senators usually care
nothing about union labor except when
the question can be snown to affect their
Democratic associates In the North. The
unions were willing that this man should
have the salary to which bis political pull
entitled him, but unwilling that be should
work at his trade."

reiterated at the Hotel Walton today the
declaration made by him recently that he
meant what he said In tho Academy of
Music on May 14, 1901.
"I will never again be a candidate for.
nor accept any political position."
Questioned about the expiration of his
term in the United States Senate In 1903,
tho Senator said:
"I am not going back to the Senate. I
said so at the Academy of Music meeting
In this city, and I still hold to it, but
that's an old story. Why don't you ask
me something really new?"

LONDON. Aug. 22. The gates of Hat
field were closed at midnight with the
announcement that there had been no
change In Lord Salisbury's condition since
early In the evening, and that no other
bulletin was expected until morning.

follows:
There is a slight improvement in Lord

Telegrams poured In all day- from no

continual stream today of callers In
carriages and on foot.
This afternoon, while the statesman was
dying, boys were playing cricket In the
brilliant sunshine of the smooth lawns
surrounding Hatfield house within earshot
of the unpretentious room occupied by
the patient.
While on one side tho cricketers laughed
and chaffed each other, on the other side
and almost equal distant from the house,
was an ominous contrast, for there the
workmen were finishing the grave of tho
Countess of Halloway, Lord Salisbury's
half sister, in the family burying ground.
The Countess died a few days ago, but
it Is said that Lord Salisbury was not
informed of her death. Her funeral will
take place, at her request, at Hatfield at
noon tomorrow.
Newspaper correspondents representing

ODELL AT OYSTER BAY.
Governor and the President Discuss
Political Affairs.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Aug. 21. Finan
cial legislation and New York State poll-
tics were the principal topics of discussion
today between the President and his
guests. Early in the day Representative
Hill, of Connecticut, talked with the Pres
ident of the prospect of enacting remedial
financial legislation at the approaching
session of Congress. William D. Murphy,
of New York, a long-time friend of the
President, also discussed finance with
President Roosevelt. Governor Odell ar
rived on tho yacht Alleen shortly after

of the Department of Commerce and La
bor, and Representative Babcock, of Wis
consin, were guests of the President at
dinner. Secretary Cortelyou spent the
night at Sagamore Hill.
Governor Odell, of New York, had
three hours' conference with the Presi
dent. They reached a perfect understand
ing on all points which they discussed.
and are in entire accord regarding all
matters of either personal or parly con
cern. Just before leaving the Governor said
to the Associated Press that he and the
President discussed the political situation
in both the city and state of New York,
but no definite conclusions were reached.
Ho was perfectly sure that the Repub
licans would carry New York next year.
It can be said that the Governor did not
come to Oyster Bay to consider with the
President the proposition that he be
third-time candidate for Governor, as has
been reported.
PLACE TO BURY PRIESTS.
Xonfc Inland Cemetery- to Have Imlla-
wuu u a. laic Aliviciii mui;uu.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2L An architect has
completed plans for a mortuary chapel in
Calvary Cemetery, on Long Island, with
an underground cavern resembling the
catacombs of Rome. The Idea Is $ne
which Archbishcp Farley conceived while
traveling through Rome about two years
ago. It occurred to him at that time that
the Archdiocese of New York with its
large number of priests, should have some
such place for their burial. He discussed
the matter with his fellow clergymen.
when he returned to New York and the
plan found favor.
Outwardly there will be little to Indicate
the size of the catacombs, it being in
tended that the chapel shall stand over
j thenu The caverns lt ls lntended. how
I . '
ever, shall occupy a space of about two
acres, 50 feet below the surface. Tho
walls will be of hewn granite.
Should the plans be carried out It will
be the first imitation of the ancient cata
combs In this country- The nearest ap
proach to anything of the kind exists at
the Monastery of the Passlonlst Monks In
West Hoboken. Under that institution
there is a huge underground vault, some
70 feet beneath the chapel. There.
clothed in the habit of that order, the
most austere In the Catholic Church, lie
resting on bricks, the remains of the
founders of the order. The custom of so
disposing of the bodies was discontinued
about two years ago because of legal
barriers.
Hungarian Political Crisis.
NEW YORK Aug. 2L Reports from
Hungary regarding the political situation.
cays the Vienna correspondent of the
Times, cabling by way of London, are
tinged with pessimism. It Is freely as
serted that Emperor Francis Joseph may
have to return to Vienna to receive King
Edward before much progress has been
made toward a settlement of the crisis.
There are some indications, adds the cor
respondent, that no military concessions
will be made to the Hungarians, if so
the crisis may be prolonged for want of a
statesman ready to take office.

ALL HOPE FOR WIND
Great Yachts Wiil Have
Second Brush Today.
INDICATIONS ARE ONLY FAIR
Llptoa Is as Optimistic as Usual
About Shamrock's Ability to Beat
Reliance He Is Host to
Noted People.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Sir" Thomas Up
ton, his Captains and the. crews of his
fleet at Sandy Hook were by no means
disheartened today. Sir Thomas was as
optimistic as usual, and cheerfully ex
plained that yesterday's race was not con
clusive, while Captain Wrlnge, of tho
Shamrock III, was as good natured and
hopeful as" ever. All appeareo to believe
that there would be a different story to
tell If tho next race- was sailed in a fair
racing wind.
It was pointed out by an officer of the
Erin today that the Shamrock III had
never been exceedingly fast- In drifting.
j.ne oniy race in wnicn tno anamrocKvi
ever beat her was sailed In little better
than a calm, and in many cases, under
similar conditions, the Shamrock III had
been unable to drop her. pacemaker until
the wind Increased to five knots or better,
after which she showed a remarkable In
crease in speed. Tonight the friends of
the Shamrock III were hoping for a wind
that will enable the boats to sail the race
an hour within the time limit.
Sir Thomas passed the day in entertain
ing the Earl and Countess of Shaftsbury,
Colonel and Mrs. Sherman-Crawford and
Adjutant-General and Mrs. Corbln. By the
Invitation of General Corbln, the whole
party visited the Sandy Hook Proving
Grounds and witnessed the test of the big
guns. Later In the day the party boarded
the Erin's launch and started for a trip
up the beautiful Shrewsbury River.
The wind at Sandy Hook at midnight
was from the Southwest. 12 miles an hour.
The weather was clear and the sky cloud
less. Indications are that the wind will
hold through Saturday.
"ALL LUCK," SAYS LIPTON.
With a Good Wind, the Shamrock
Will Be in the Running.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Sir Thomas Lip-
ton said today:
"I have not lost hope In the slightest.
The conditions yesterday were the worst I
have ever seen off Sandy Hook. I have
been here now since June, and we never
had anything so bad. It was purely
matter of luck. The Shamrock got no
show from the wind. The Reliance was
getting all the wind she wanted to foot
away from us with, while the Shamrock
was lylngTvithout a breath. Whenever
we did get a breeze we lost no time In
making up the Reliance's gain, but the
luck never lasted with us.
"As a matter of fact, the Shamrock
came about to come home, seeing it was
hopeless to continue when she was get'
ting no wind. The Reliance's sall3 were
full when our sails were lying limp. The
Shamrock while the wind lasted did better
work yesterday than the Reliance. Others
may say what they like on this matter.
but this is my positive belief."
England About Gives Up.
LONDON, Aug. 21. AH tho press com
ment here on Shamrock s performance
evidences the-growing conviction that she
Is Incapable of recapturing the America's
cup under any weather conditions. The
afternoon newspapers claim that yester
day's race showed nothing of the respect
ive merits of tho two boats, but they ad
mit that the performance of the chal
lenger did not fulfill the expectations of
her behavior in a light wind, and say that
Captain Barr seems to have shown
smarter seamanship.
The suggestion Is made that. In view of
the repeated wind disappointments off
Sandy Hook, the New York Yacht Club
might try to find a moro satisfactory
course.
Yachts Stretch Their Sails.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. The Reliance this
