ORGANIZATION IS UNCHANGED Many Admirers Call to Sny Good- Bye to Dean of Congressional Delegation, Who Confides Po litical Interests to Friends. THE MEN IX POWER. Judge Carey is chairman of the Re publican County and City Central Com mittees, the members of which he and W. F. Matthews named a year ago. last ApriL "I know of no reason," said Senator Mitchell, "why Judge Carey should not remain at the head of the party, pro vided he Is willing' to serve. "Mr. Matthews will take no active part In politics. He holds no political position. He Is In a Federal office." What a lot of handshaking there was! Many a fine day will come and go until the like is seen again as many, perhaps. as until next June, when Senator Mitchell will return. The Senator Is off for Europe. The hands of the clock lacked just 15 minutes of the midnight hour when the Senator's train pulled away toward Ta coma. The bleaklng lights of the city grew fewer and fewer as the Senator, speeding on his journey, looked backward tnrougn tne car window, soon all the lights were cone. Portland was far ho- hlnd. He was to cross a continent and an ocean before he came again. The Senator is not going to Washing ton right away: he took nartlcular nains to explain this yesterday to "all the vis itors that filed into room "500." First he will go to France to see his wife and his daughter, the Duchess of Rochefoucauld. who are ill and whom he has not seen for some time., Just before the Senator left the hotel last night he submitted to an interview in which he discussed politics. From hia remaiks, it was clear that the political organization of this county is to be left in the hands of C. H. Carey and W. F. Matthews. Mr. Matthews 13 to abide in the shadow, and not to make himself con spicuous, while Judge Carev Is to be the head of the organization. The organlza-4 uon. instead of beincr broadened out i to be left just as it Is and as it has been, and the much-vaunted "reorganization" Is to be nothing more. "I see no reason," said the Senator, "why Judge Carey, if he is willing to serve, should not continue at the head of the party. So long as he occupies the position of chairman of the Republican county and city committees, he , shall have my loyal and undivided support, and I trust he will have the support of every friend of mine in this county and city." Whereat the Senator resumed hand shaking. Freely he chatted with every' gentleman who forged to the fore, with this admirer about the weather, with that about his happy stay here all Summer; with the next about something else, and so on. Cheerfully he exhorted all his ifrlends to 'be of strong courage and to look to Judge Carey for guidance In this county and to Frank C. Baker In the state. "You pay high tribute to Judge Carey," was suggested. "Well, he deserves it," was the re sponse. "I have implicit faith in him." Just then something flitted across the Senator's mind of the report that Judge Carey would not bo averse to becoming, "United States Senator, and he said: "The report is false." "But how about Matthews?" was asked. Bancroft Says Farewell. "Well," but just then a louu rap on the door reverberated throughihe room. The Senator arose and admitted the visitors. Their voices sounded like those of A. A. Courteney and Postmaster Bancroft. When the callers had entered far enough 'to let the full light fall upon their fea tures, all doubt about their Identity Van ished. "Have chairs," Invited Senator Mitchell, busying himself like a good host "Sit down." So down sat Messrs. Courteney and Ban croft 4 A number of subjects occupied the discussion all as far distant from the one from which the Senator had been called as China from Peru. "I've had a very enjoyable stay here all Summer, remarked the Senator. "So cool It's been that there doesn't seem to have been any Summer at all." Then the Senator was brought back to the question about Mr. Matthews. "What's the use," ho protested, "of saying anything about It?" and then to satisfy the pressing inquiry, he added: "State your question directly and I'll answer it directly." "What will be Mr. Matthews' place in politics?" was the question. "You'll have to ask him," was the re sponse. "He's the man to go to. He will not take an active part in politics next year. He has told me he would not He now holds no political position. He oc cupies a Federal office, that of United States Marshal, which he will not jeop ardize by engaging In politics. But," added the Senator, In slower measure, "I presume Mr Matthews will retain the privilege of his American citizenship." Judge Moreland, who Is a candidate for United States District Attorney, and who had drifted In to pay his respects, asked lightly of Mr. Bancroft whether he would retain those same privileges. Mr. Ban croft returned a laugh as an answer. No Information About Plains. Senator Mitchell would not be drawn out to tell about any Federal appoint ment, whatsoever. He would not reveal when the half-dozen plums still on the tree will toe distributed. Perhaps he told Judge Moreland when the District At torneyship will be awarded; if so, the Judge knows more than he ever did be fore. It's evident that the awards are not to be made until next Winter, unless, per haps, the President can Induce the dele gation to recommend' successors to Brat tain and Bailey in the Lakeview Land Office right away. 1 "The question,", said the Senator, "as to who shall be appointed to the few offices In Oregon, or as to who shall con trol their appointments In comparison with other important Interests involved, is trivial." The Senator's guests made ready to take their departure. They were rejoiced to see him in such perfect health. He was pleased to tell them he never felt better in his life. They hoped he would return soon. He regretted that he would not come back for nine or ten months. They trusted he would think of them frequently. Indeed he would, and if he could be of any service to them at Washington tbey would And him at their disposal. Then the visitors bade adieu to the Sen ator, shook hands with him, bowed them selves out, closed the door behind them and were gone. Will Delay Arrival in Washington. A few minutes later down came the Senator to the office of the hotel to pay his bill. More greetings and adieus. A reporter approached the Senator a second time, and this is what the Senator said: "I shall not be in Washington until the last part of October or early in November, a week before Congress meets in extraor dinary session. November 9. "I did not expect to leave Portland until the latter part of October. I go thus early, not on public, but on private busi ness, which, In all probability, will take me to Europe. Therefore I do not ex pect to have any discussion with Govern ment officials until I reach Washington, In regard either to appointments in Ore gon or to any public matter. "I hope and expect to be on deck when Congress meets, and tOtglvc the people of Oregon, as I have done heretofore, my best efforts in their interest." Senator Mitchell had not thus far spoktn freely on politics, and It loo"ked as if he would not do so. Many times in the past three or four months he has. declined to discuss county politics for publication. But on the eve of his departure his tongue loosened, and he said: "Much has been said in the public press to the effect that I have been attempting to do this, that or the other thing In re gard to political affairs in this county and cltv. It is true that during my pleasant stay here of nearly four months, I have talked with many old friends in regard to p ics. I bavo made many new ac quaintances and have discussed, with as many leading men of the city as I have been able to meet the Important public questions in which we all are interested, and which are to come before Congress. "Any statement, however," and the Sen ator spoke impressively, "that I have been trying to organize or to reorganize politics in this city and county, in any shape, manner or form, is not supported by the facts. "Through the generosity of the Legis lature of Oregon. I am now serving my fourth terra in the United States Senate. Personally I have no claims, either on the state or on the Republican party of Uregon. Re-election to the Senate of the United States for a fifth term, at the end of my present term, could not, of course, be otherwise than gratifying to me, should the 'Legislature or the people of the state so decide. , "But to secure that high honor I do not think that I ought personally to attempt to organize or to disorganize or to enter Into any scramble for control." Inactive in Politics. Two or three times in the course of his remarks he gave emphasis to this senti ment "During my stay here," he went on, "I have taken no part in politics ex cept to assist my friends in the reorgan ization of. the State Central Committee. "As I understand the present organiza tion, political I mean, In this city and county, has for its present head Hon. Charles H. Carey, one of the leading law yers, best citizens and uncompromising Republicans of the city. Personally I know of no reason, provided always ho Is willing to serve, why he should not con tinue at the head of the party. "Doubtless there are some leading Re publicans who would prefer another man for chairman of the committees; this Is but natural. So long, however, as he is chairman of the Republican county and city committees he will have my loyal and undivided support, and I trust he will have the support of every friend of mine In this county and city. "I happen to know that Judge Carey, on account of his personal business affairs, is disinclined to continue at the head of the parj'y in the coming campaign, and that he has not yet obtained his own con sent to continue the leadership. I have reason to believe, "however, that should he decide to continue as chairman of the committees, he would desire to associate with himself an executive committee of representative men. Such men would be Influential members of the party. Even as much as Senator Mitchell had praised Judge Carey up to this point he praised him more. The laudation came out In a serious tone of voice, accompan ied by a forceful gesture. And these, were the words of the Senator, verbatim et literatim: "I regafd Judge Carey as one of the best political organizers In this city. Ho Is an honorable, high-minded, conscien tious man and an uncompromising Re publican. All this must be conceded by unprejudiced persons who know him well." Senator MUchell was surrounded by several admirers by this time, all of whom were impatient to get his atten tion. But he held them off long enough to make this flnal remark: "I have told you all this on the eve of my departure from Oregon. I do not expect to return until after the election of next June. You will not find me at tempting In any way to Interfere with politics in this county and city. I shall give my whole attention at Washington to the public matters In which, our city, state and Coast are so vitally Interested." Senator Fulton came up from Astoria last night to say farewell. Representative Williamson said good-bye In the after noon and boarded the 6 o'clock O. R. & N. train for home. Senator Mitchell will spend today at Ta coma. Some persons have suspected that he Intends to interview Senator Foster toward making a combination with the Washington delegation In land matters. Senator Mitchell, however, said such sus picions were without foundation. When he was asked whether Western delegations would unite to resist or modify the land policy of the Interior Department he re sponded: "That I can't say. The people of the West are not against reserves, but they oppose the reserve policy that Is carried to an extreme. In Oregon, for example, the policy Is run wild." Search tor Treasure Island. LONDON. Sept. 7. A dispatch to the Dally Mall from Wellington, N.

The originator of the scheme then confessed that he was- Igno rant of the locality of the treasure island. WARSEEMSSUR Turkey and Bulgaria at Swords' Points.

SITUATION IN A NUTSHELL. TURKEY War is believed to be tho only solution of the trouble, and final reserves are warned to hold them selves in readiness. BULGARIA If it is making any move, It Is secretly; but the people are becoming- more restless and desire that the government take a stand. THE POWERS Russia and Austria urge coercive action; Germany as sents, but the other powers opposo such a step. UNITED STATES Admiral Cotton re ports all quiet at Beirut, and a cor dial reception by Turkish officials. He is awaiting orders. - LONDON, Sept 8. Special dispatches from the near East, published here this morning add littlo fresh news regarding the situation in the Balkans. All the cor respondents at Constantinople emphasize the apparent danger of war with Bul garia, while the Sofia correspondents are equally Insistent as to the prudent and correct attitude of Prince Ferdinand and his Government. Accounts from both Turkish and Insur gent sources of the operations in Mace donia show that the work of extermin ation is proceeding unchecked, and, al though apparently emphasizing the dan ger of a conflagration, the powers are making little effort to interfere. It is believed that nothing of a serious nature will be done until after the meeting of the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna, when it may be too late. The insurgents are now said to num ber 2500, well-armed and efficiently com manded men. Their leaders will stop at nothing to secure resources for their equipment. The Sofia correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: Insurgents Are Losing? Reason. "I am In cltose touch with the Insurgents and am able to affirm emphatically that unless acceptable proposals shall be made within two or three weeks, Europe will be startled by a record of deeds unequaled In tho bloodstained history of the East" The Morning Leader's correspondent at Sofia says the Turkish policy Is to draw the Insurgents into action at all points. The bands, however, "are avoiding conflicts until their preparations shall be complet ed. They are gathering In masses at various strategic points with a view to comprehensive movement inside of 10 days. An unconfirmed report, from Vienna states that the Bulgarian Exarch has been shut up In his palace because of his refusal to Issue a further pastoral letter asking the Bulgarians to lay down their arms. War the Only Solution. A dispatch to the Times from Monastlr, dated September 5, says: "In Turkish circles war with Bulgaria Is considered to be Imminent Hilmi Pasha, Inspector-General of Macedonia, says he sees no other solution. The final reserves are being warned to hold them selves In readiness, and orders have been Issued to the principal towns to supply horses and money and otherwise to aid the military preparations. "In the feverish attempt to stamp out the Insurrection In this quarter so as to release the troops for operations else where, there Is, unfortunately, every rea son to suspect that an attempt Is being made to produce the indiscriminate slaughter of the 'Bulgarian element In which Christians of all denominations are in danger of being treated alike. Should this prove true, there- can be no hope of saving the greater part of the Christian population in the remote districts of Western Macedonia." . OPPOSE COERCIVE ACTION. Several of the Powers Will Not Ac cept Russo-Austrian Policy. BERLIN, Sept 7. Russia and Austria have proposed that the powers take co ercive diplomatic action at Sofia, with the aim of covering the relations now ex isting between Bulgaria and the Mace donian Insurgents. Germany has assented, but several of the powers have objected, and the Russian and Austrian proposal, the Associated Press Is officially informed, has probably fallen through. i .i vicncu in jionaon. LONDON, Sept 7. The Balkan situa tion shows no sign of Improvement In deed, in Constantinople It Is now thought that war between Turkey and Bulgaria Is Inevitable, but the Turkish Ambassador In London Insists that hostilities can only result from an overt act on the part of Bulgaria. The Sofia government, on the other hand, preserves a strict neutrality, as advised by Russia and Austria. The announcement today of Bulgaria's attitude caused an optimistic tone in the papers, and the market for foreign bonds and government securities became much firmer. Porte Prepares for- War. SALONICA, Sept 7. The, latest orders received from tho Turkish government are regarded here as a sure indication i that the Porte entertains serious appre hensions of war. Sixteen battalions of mustahfuz, or second reserves, have been called to arms In the Salonlca, Uskub and Monastlr districts, and the artillery and cavalry reserves of the Adrianople and Smyrna divisions have also been mobil ized. The commander of the third army corps has been ordered strictly to watch the Servian frontier, where it is thought revolutionary bands will cross. TRYING TO FORCE BULGARIA. Macedonian Committee Is Strnlninp Every Nerve "to Brine War. SOFIA, Sept. 7. In official quarters there is a suspicious absence of news from the Interior of Macedonia and also from Adrianople, and it is feared that the con ditions there are steadily becoming worse. The Macedonian organizations are strain ing every nerve to force Bulgaria into a war. The large and small bands are crossing the frontier of Northern Mace donia where General Zontcheff and Colonel Yankoff are organizing the Insurrectionary movement which Is expected to break out in the valley of the Strumba before the end of the week. The Macedonian Committees are prose cuting an active campaign to raise funds in Bulgaria. They are addressing letters to everybody in a position to contribute to the cause. The applications usually do not refer to the revolutionary movement, but. ask aid for the starving and homeless fugitives from Macedonia. Where wealthy citizens decline to subscribe the organiza tions do not hesitate to make strong repre sentations. A rich merchant of Phlllp polis was recently told that unless he contributed $5000 his house would be blown up. Several fights are reported from the dis trict of Losengrad. At the Bashl-Bazouk village of Sashira the Turks lost 20 men. At Tersldere a band fought 300 soldiers all day with the result that the Turks bad 37 men killed while the insurgents lost five. At Prespan, In the Okerda district, fighting has long bevn proceeding between Insurgent bands and an army of 20,000 Turks. The latter are reported to have lost more than 200 killed or wounded. An engagement lasting all dav has been fought at PrityllstI, Monastlr vilayet. In which the Turkish loss was given as 40, and the Insurgent" loss as five. A band, led by Yanko Stoyanoff, has destroyed the village of Gorlnokavieve, Carlpengrad, a notorious haunt of Turkish brigands. The newspaper. Poshta, asserts that all the villages In the district of Loren are burning. According to revolutionary es timates, Turkey now has in Macedonia an army of 175.000 men, with 3700 horses and 440 guns. In an engagement at Simen, Losengrad, the villagers joined the Turks, who were defeated. The insurgents afterward burned the village as a punishment to the inhabitants for aiding the Turks. The revolutionaries destroyed the light house near Limanpulevo. Tho Sofia Vedo mostl states that Roumania Is strengthen ing her military position on the Bulgarian frontier. WAR EXPECTED ANY DAY. Some Frontier Incident Is Expected to Participate Hostilities. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 7. War be tween Turkey and Bulgaria Is now re garded here as Inevitable. It Is even be lieved that the outbreak, of hostilities will occur before the end of September, when the reinforcements from Asia will have been concentrated In Macedonia and In tho vilayet of Adrianople. It Is not thought there will be any for mal declaration of war, In view of Bul garia's vassal status, but that some fron tier Incident will precipitate hostilities. The Bulgarians and Macedonians resid ing in Constantinople are in terror of massacre. A large number of them were arrested a few days ago, as a "preventive measure," and they have not yet been released. The fear of a massacre Is prob ably exaggerated, although, in view of the present excited state of Mussulman feeling, an Insignificant incident might perhaps lead to a massacre. The terrible accounts received regard ing the conduct of tho Turkish troops have not surprised European circles here, but many who have hitherto been optim istic In their views now accept the pre- (Concluded on Second Page.)

Y., Sept 7. President Roosevelt was today accorded a mag nificent reception by the citizens of his own state. From the moment of his ar rival In thl3 city this morning at 9:30 o'clock until ho stepped aboard his spe cial train at 10:30 o'clock tonight, to be gin his return trip to Oyster Bay, he was given a continuous ovation. Syracuse never before held such a throng as assembled here today to greet the President Fully 100,000 persons from all sections of New York State tested the carrying capacity of tho various lines of railroad, and many additional thousands came from the country contiguous to this city. Everywhere in the city and at tha grounds of the New York State Fair As soclatlon the President Tvas received with notable enthusiasm. As ho drove through the streets', the tens of thousands or per sons banked along the sidewalks greeted him with cheers. Business houses and residences were ablaze with bunting, and the American flag floated in the breeze from almost every window. Busy Day for the President. It was a busy day for the President ai well as a day full of incidents. In tha morning soon after his arrival he re viewed, from a beautifully decorated stand in Hanover Square, a great parade of the labor organizations of the city. He then went to the State Fair grounds, where ho delivered before 500,000 people an address on good citizenship and the rela tions that should exist between labor and, capital. He was the principal guest at a luncheon at the clubhouse on the grounds, a luncheon which was attended by every important state official except Governor Odell, who could not be present on account of a previous engagement;, reviewed a fine parade of the National Letter-Carriers' Association and fraternal bodies of the city, and was the guest to night of ex-United States Senator Frank HIscock at a diner which was attended by about 30 persons invited to meet tho President His Best Address, Says Depew. After the .applause which had greeted his address had subsided the crowd caHed for Senator Chauncey M. Depew. He spoke briefly, and pronounced the Presi dent's address the best he ever had heard him deliver. The President came to Syracuse to open the State Fair and to review the labor parade and the parade of the National Association of Letter-Carrlers. With him on the train were his secretary, William Loeb. Jr., Jacob RIIs, of New York, a newspaper representative, secret service officers and officers of the operating de partment of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. The run from New York was without incident. The President was met at the train by a reception com mittee. The Forty-first Regiment presented arms as the President appeared, and then, headed by the New York Letter-Carriers' Band, escorted the President and com mittee, who were in carriages, to the re viewing stand. The President on the march, received an ovation from the densely packed throng. In. the square about the reviewing stand there were fully 23.000 persons. Upon the stand beside the President were Senator (Concluded on Page 2'
