LONDON, Sept 4. The Daily Mall's
correspondent -wires rom Monastir, un
der date of August 3L telling of an in
effectual attempt ho made to penetrate
the Albanian cordon and reach Armen
sko. He was threatened with death and
compelled to return under guard. He gives
numerous instances of Turkish brutality
and treachery. The villagers of Armen
sko were massacred before a single in
surgent visited the place. The inhabi
tants of the village of Nevolkas, near
Fiorina, were butchered while on their
way to Fiorina under guard, after hav
ing surrendered on a guarantee of im
munity. At Fiorina, continues the correspondent,
the Christians are in a state of abject
fear, and are handicapped by a bigoted
Greek Metropolitan, who orders them to
stay in the village and not to flee, with
the result that the savage soldiers mur
der them by scores. The European resi

the heroic fight they have always waged.
The proclamation continues:
"Armed with only your own strength
against a mighty empire, with pitiless
foes, with the power of your right hand
and the might of your spirit you have
shaken the hateful Ottoman Dominion.
A hundred thousand of the Sultanas sol
diers and on innumerable Infidel mob
were unable to resist your advance. You
have sacrificed everything before the
altar of liberty. Your villages were
burned, your homes pillaged, your chil
dren massacred and your sisters, wives
and mothers violated. A succession of
valiant champions has persisted in the
struggle and dyed the fatherland with
their dear blood, but with greater zeal
you have embraced the fight Your smok
ing hearths have strengthened your man
liness; the cries of the children and the
moans of the women exasperated your
souls. From the breasts of the father
land came new champions, replacing
those who have perished. The holy flag
of liberty waves more proudly over the
dear fatherland. Your enemies are ren
dered speechless before your heroism.
The forces of tyranny are exhausted.
New days have come. One more heroic
strike and the centuries of tyranny will
fall to the ground in convulsions of
death.
"The dawn of liberty peeps already
above the Macedonian horizon and awaits
this stroke to shine with its full bril
liancy on the Macedonian land. Prepare
yourselves, then, for this stroke. Be at
your posts. The hour for the battle
strikes. The" cry of liberty or death will
break the chains of slavery and bring
the triumph of justice."
The proclamation is signed "From the
Supremo Central Government"

the heads of the religious communities,

to, after thanking the patriarchs and the
others present for their good wishes, the
Sultan, contrary to precedent, spoke at
some length as follows:
"All my desire is for the welfare of the
population, without distinction of race or
religion. As to the detestable and re
grettable deeds to which the patriarph
alluded, I am convinced that the move
ment does not proceed spontaneously from
the population, but is instigated from
abroad. I hope the measures taken will
Insure tranquillity. I call pod to witness
the sincerity of my declaration, and that
all my aspirations and work are for the
welfare and prosperity of all my sub
jects." Turning then to the Bulgarian pa
triarchs, the Sultan bade them communi
cate his words to their flocks.

the Sultan said he regretted that the
Greek population had also suffered from
the recent troubles, and declared he
would be pleased to contribute to the
subscriptions being raised in the patri
archate in behalf of the sufferers. The
Sultan further remarked that he was very
sorry that some of the soldiers had been
guilty of acts contrary to his orders and
desires.
The Sultan personally assured Mgr. Or
mahlan, the Armenian patriarch, that his
words applied to the Armenians as well as
to the people of other nationalities.

AMERICA'S SIDE OF THE CASE.
Strong: Exception Is Taken to Many
of the Contentions of Britain.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3. The documents
covering the American presentation of
the Alaskan boundary case are comprised
In three volumes, making a total of about
1100 pages. In addition there are also
two volumes-of maps. The largest of the
volumes of text contains the original
statement by the American Commission
ers, while one of the smaller volumes
presents the American counter-case in re
joinder to. the British case and the other
arguments of the American Commission
ers. In the first volume the questions at issue,
namely, what Is intended to be the point
of commencement of the line of demarca
tion between the United States and Can
ada; what is the Portland channel; what
course the line should take to the entrance
of that channel; to what point of the 56th
parallel the line should be drawn from the
head of Portland Channel, and other fa
miliar questions are discussed. There also
is extensive discussion of tho extent of
the strip of territory along the coast on
the mainland that Russia conveyed to the
United States by the treaty of 1S67. It
appears from the document that Great
Britain concedes that the line begins at
Cape Muzon.
The United States contends that it was
tho intention of the powers which signed
the treaty of 1825 to confirm in full sover
eignty to Russia a continuous strip or
lisiere along the continental shores of the
northwest coast of America, extending
from Portland Channel to the 141st merid
ian of longitude west of Greenwich, and
that such strip was to be ten marine
leagues, measured from the heads of all
gulfs and other arms of the sea, unless
there was within that distance a range of
mountains. The contention is further
made that the United States has occupied
this strip of territory ever since its ac
quisition from Russia, and that Russia
had controlled it since the treaty of 1825,
until ceded to the United States In 1S67.
In its counters.tatement the American
Commission makes rejoinder to -points
covered in tho presentation of the British
side, which it says contains 20 or more
documents which heretofore have not been
given to the public.
The additional evidence referred to bears
upon the negotiations which took place
between Great Britain and Russia during
the years 1823 and 1825, and it is contended
that this new evidence in no way alters
any material contention made in the orig
inal allegation, but that, on the contrary,
"it confirms and strengthens the position
of the United States."
These documents consist largely of
statements made and letters written by
Mr. Pelly, who was at that time Deputy
Governor of tHe Hudson's Bay Company,
and It Is contended that his letters fully
sustain the assertion that in fixing a lino
of demarcation the British government
acted solely In the Interests of that com
pany. The Commissioners discuss at some
length the claim made by their opponents
that many protests have been filed by
British officials against the American
claim in reference to the boundary.
They admit that from time to time
there have been informal representations,
but these, they assert, were In the main
without sufficient data to Justify serious
consideration. Indeed, they say, that
never until after the Klondike gold discov
eries were made in 1896 did the British
Government take up the question serious
ly. They ndmlt that In 1898 attention was
called to the claim of the British Govern
ment that the ten-league strip extended
only from the main waters of the ocean,
but they say that this contention was not
made absolutely clear until the British
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone,
of Great Britain, Chairman
of the Alaskan Boundary
Commission.
cases was delivered to the present trib
unal, on May 2, last.
In support of the American contention
that the strip should measure from tide
water and from the heads of bays and
inlets a number of depositions are pro
duced in connection with the counter case
going to show the occupation of this strip
by settlers from the United States since
1SS0. Special efforts are directed toward
showing the control of the country about
the head of Lynn Canal, including tho
sites of the towns of Dyea, Skagway,
White Pass and Lake Bennett It also Is
stated that numerous decuments have
been preserved which had been given to
Indian chiefs and others by officials of the
United States Government, showing the
presence In the Lynn Canal Inlets of naval
and other authority of the United States
annually for 20 years after the United
States acquired the territory.
It Is contended that this occupation and
control vere known to the Canadian Gov
ernment and Its people. -
Discussing the boundaries proposed by
Great Britain the commission makes refer
ence to the instability of the Canadian
contention on this nolnt ami nnnolnrinc
'that "the United States hns from the
time or cession or Alaska to tho pres
ent day maintained but one Interpretation
of the treaty of 1S23. Its position has
been open and known to the world. It 'is
the same which was presented to the
tribunal in its case and which it now
reiterates In this counter case."
The argument in the case is a careful
study of maps, treaties and other docu
ments, bearing upon the boundary conten
tion and it Is intended to drive home the
facts presented in the statements to which
reference has been made. Consid
erable space is devoted to the
part played by the Klondike
gold discoveries In arousing Great
Britain's interest in the controversy and
In this connection notice is taken of an
assertion made by the British' com
missioners that the towns of Dyea and
Skagway owed their existence to the mi
gration to the Klondike. They assert on
the contrary that Dyea was founded In
1SS6 and Skagway in 1S8S. They contradict
flatly a contention by the British Com
missioners to the effect that "Canada's
claim to the territory at tho head of
Lynn Canal was at the time, well known
to the United States Government"
"This," thay say, "Is a gratuitous as
sertion. There is no proof to sustain It
Canada never put forward any such claim
to the United States. The claim was first
made In 1898, by Great Britain, before the
joint high commission. It is said, "If the
Canadian Government had Instructed
British vessels to disregard these regula
tions there would have been grave danger
of a serious collision. There undoubtedly
would have been p. collision, just as cer
tainly as If they had been Instructed to
disregard the regulations of the port of
New York."
Strong exception Is taken to the conten
tion that there was a reservation, on the
the part of Great Britain when the United
States volunteered to create a port of
entry at Dyea. The argument asserts
that whatever reservation there was, was,
made by a Commlsloner of Customs and
that he had no authority In the premises.
DEMONSTRATION AGAINST AUSTRIA
Italian Students Discover Spies
Threaten to Bnrn Them Alive.
ROME, Sept 3. A congress of students,
which was held today at Udlne, near the

ceedings two or three supposed Austrian

sued. The alleged spies were seized and
threats were made to burn them alive.

of an hour, the only variation was a slow
gain by the leading boat.
Thick Bank of For Rolls In.
The sky was clear and the slanting rays
of the yellow Western sun were painting
a beautiful marine picture with the two
yachts as center figures, when at 4:20,
with almost half the course yet to be
sailed, a thick bank of fog came rolling
in before a southeast wind and enveloped
the Shamrock in a gray mist that shut her
out of sight of the fleet. The Reliance
ran along for five minutes longer with the
sun glinting upon her sails until the fog
bank reached her, and she, too, disap
peared from sight
The two racers sailed In that danger
ous fashion at top speed for an hour.
Meantime, the Navigator, carrying the re
gatta committee, hunted for the lightship
to establish the finish line. It was 5:20
before she found It and tho fleet began
tp gather about her. All was a wall of
fog. Ten minutes the secretary waited.
Then the Reliance, heeling before tho
wind, her sails bellying hard and her lee
rails dragging up the spindthrlft burst
through the fog upon the vision of the
expectant watchers on the little excursion
fleet Hardly had they recognized the
familiar features of the American craft
when, with her great balloon jib topsail
fluttering into the arms of the nimble
members of her crew out on her bowsprit
she flew across the line down through the
lane of yachts to victory.
Whistles Salute the Victor.
The whistles of every craft In the fleet
opened wide In recognition of her achieve
ment The delighted yachtsmen danced
about the deck of J. P. Morgan's big black
steam yacht, the Corsicar. and hilariously
congratulated one another. The Reliance
tug searched the fleet for the racer and
then towed her through It with yachting
ensigns flying from her mast and spread
ers, while similar flags appeared, at
various points on the spars and rigging of
tho Corsicar and the whistles of the fleet
again saluted the defender.
Meantime the regatta committee's tug
whistled shrilly Its guiding signals to the
missing Shamrock. The Reliance had
crossed the line at 5:30:02, and It was
after G o'clock when the fog lifted a bit
and disclosed the challenger hove to,
north of the line., Captain Wrlnge had
missed it In the fog and passed by to the
east of It The Shamrock did not at
tempt to cross the line, but after a feeble
salute from the fleet was taken In tow
to the Hook. The fleet started for home
and the series of races In defense of
America's cup for 1903 were ended and
American genius, brains and seamanship
were once more triumphant.

glad in my own defeat, since America
hag been such a thoroughly generous
victor. I want to thank the American
people for their generosity to me in my
defeat. Asked what his plan3 were, Sir
Thomas said:
"My crew Is to return to England on
Tuesday next, and I really ought to go
back by that time myself. 1 will post
out my engagements In a day or two,
and then determine Just what 1 shall do.
I shall attend a dinner In New York to
morrow night, and have hnlf promised to
be Mr. Woodruff's guest in Brooklyn and
go to the New York State Fair, but that
Is not absolutely certain. It Is possible
I mny have to start for home next week.''
Asked what he would do with the three
Shamrocks, he said:
"I am to meet some people tomorrow
who desire to buy at least one of the
boats. After I have seen them I will de
termine what to do."
Regarding the defeat of the Shamrock
III, he simply said: "I don't care to
discuss It any more. The American boat
was the better, that Is all."
Designer Fife refused to talk. Captain
Wrlnge, while agreeable, still would hot
talk any further than to say: "We did
tho best we could, but the other boat was
best"

a Course Are Proclaimed.

fornia Promotion Committee has sent the
following telegram to the president of
the New York Yacht Club, Inviting the

"C. Oliver Iselin, President of the New

Sir On behalf of the state of California
and tho city of "San Francisco, the Cali
fornia Promotion Committee respectfully
suggests to the New York Yacht Club
that the next international race for the

brisk winds average velocity, June, 13
miles; July, 13 miles; August, 12 miles per
hour; deep and safe waters on the larg
est land-locked harbor In the world, with
450 square miles of water surface. In
sures a safe and exciting contest which
could be viewed from beginning to end
by spectators upon the land. The open
ocean course outride the harbor offers
similar advantages. The fact that there
is no rain during the Summer months Is
an additional feature.
"If the competing yachts should be
brought through the Suez canal, the long
trip would arouse the greatest interest In
this International event With the con
test on the Pacific coast other nations
would undoubtedly-be led to compete for
the America's cup.
"This committee bellevea that. In view
of the facts presented, the course In San
Francisco harbor is worthy of your earn
est consideration, and we will be glad
to meet you In any steps to reach the
end desired. This Invitation Is endorsed
by the San Francisco Yacht Club.

tional yacht race, Hon. James D. Phelan,
ex-Mayor of San Francisco, who Is a
close personal friend of Sir Thomas Lip

course could not be surpassed.
"There would be no difficultly in provid
ing funds for a special trophy," said Mr.
Phelan. "I understand that Sir Thomas
Llpton is coming to the coast very
shortly."

LONDON SORRY FOR LIPTON.
Chief Hope Now Is That Canada Will
Bnild a Wlnnlnjr Yacht.
LONDON, Sept. 3. The final defeat of
Sir Tnomas LIpton'3 cup challenger.
Shamrock III., was received In London
with absolute listlessness. Most of the
afternoon papers published a special edi
tion announcing the result but the an
nouncement had already been discounted
by the dispatches giving the progress of
the race.
The consensus of opinion Is that Sir
Thomas Llpton has done everything that
time and money could accomplish, and
widespread sympathy for him is shown.
The chief hope expressed In the streets
is that Canada will enter the lists next
year, and possibly succeed when the
mother country has failed. It seems Im
probable that In view of the failure of
Shamrock III. another challenger will
soon be dispatched from England.
Press Admits Defeat Was Fair.

papers published editorials congratulating
I the United States upon again retaining
I the America's cup, and complimenting Sir
i Thomas Llpton on his gallant fight. All
the Journals agree that the contests were
won by a better boat and the cleverer
skipper and crew, and admit that there
' seems to be no reason why the United
J States should not retain the cup for many
years to come, since it seems that Great
Britain has something to learn from
Ameilca In the matter of yacht building.
The Daily Telegraph expresses the gen
eral feeling when, paying a tribute to the
fairness with which the contests were
conducted, it says:
"It Is an entirely honorable chapter
added to the history of the America's
cup."
GlasKovir's Glad Snsnense Is Ended.
GLASGOW, Sept 3. The announcement
of the Reliance's victory was received
here with a feeling akin to relief that the
long, drawn out contest was ended. Uni
form regret is expressed at Sir Thomas
Lipton's failure, after making such a
persistent effort to secure the America's
cup.
HILL ATTACKS TRUSTS.
Ncvf York Leader Holds They Are
Inimical to Public Policy. .
NYACK, N. Y. Sept. 3. Ex-Senator Da
vid B. Hill addressed 5000 persons at the
Rockland County Fair today. Regarding
combinations, Mr. Hill said:
"I do not find anything In holy writ
which contemplates the accumulation of
wealth through the Instrumentality of gi
gantic corporation trusts, designed for the
prevention of legitimate competition in
trade or the creation of monopoly In busi
ness, or anything that authorizes the wat
ering of any stock except the livestock
upon our farms, or anything that justifies
tho enrichment of men except through
the old-fashioned and Scriptural method
of earning that which they shall possess.
"The tremendous combinations of capital
which have been formed In recent years,
whereby the prices of living have been
unduly advanced; the multitude of
schemes which have been devised to con
trol the channels and avenues of trade;
the unreasonable restrictions which have
been imposed by statute upon our com
mercial freedom in the pecuniary interest
of those who ostentatiously style them
selves the 'captains of industry,' are
largely the modern creations of able and
designing men, intent upon vast and un
earned riches, and are neither sanctioned
by Scriptural Injunctions nor can they be
jiiHtlfied by an honest and unselfish public
policy."

Peculiar Conditon of Affairs in
Alabama Neprro Colony.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept 3. The ap
proaching city election at Hobson City, the
negro colony near Annlston, will disclose
a peculiar state of affairs. The town Is
run" solely by negroes. Under the new
constitution nearly all of the male adult
Inhabitants are disfranchised there now
being about 20 voters, and the affairs of
the town will have to be conducted by
these citizens alone. As there are nearly
as many offices to be filled as there are
voters, the candidates will virtually elect
themselves, and may thus perpetuate
themselves In office.
