LONDON. Aug. 19. The Albanian in
surgent, according to the Constantin
ople correspondent of the Daily Tele
graph, are not only complete masters
of Usknp. but they have decided to
march on Salonikl and a detachment
of 300 rebels has already occupied the
city of Keuprulu.
"On receipt of this serious news,"
the correspondent says, "a hasty meet
ing of the Turkish cabinet was called
and it was .resolved to resist the in
surgents' advance. -
-The situation in Albania is most
grave. The assassination of officers
continues. According to my informa
tion it is the intention of the insur
gents either to force the Government
to accent their full demands or to re
store Abdul Hamid. the former Sultan,
to the throne. Another cabinet crisis
is considered impending.' The Govern
ment is seeking a loan of $7,500,000
from the Ottoman bank, but is meeting
with difficulties."

The correspondent of the Daily Tele
graph at Belgrade. Servia. says:
"Twelve thousand Albanians have oc
cupied l'skup and 700 more with artil
lery are waiting at the nearest vil
lages. Turkish authority in the dis
trict is non-existent."
The correspondent at Constantinople
of the Times says: "
"More responsible Albanian leaders
have assured the Government that they
disapprove of the advance on L'skup
and Keuprulu."
The Bulgarian and Servian Govern
ments have informed the Porte that
they have no Intention of seeking ad
vantage through Turkey's troubles.
Pamad Shelf, who on August 13 became
Minister of the Interior, has resigned.
Import of Raid Minimized.
Dispatches to the Times from Con
stantinople and Salonikl minimize the
importance of the Insurgent raid on
Vskup and Keuprulu. ' They say that
responsible leaders both In Albania and
at Constantinople repudiate the ex
tremists. The leaders admit there are 4000 in
surgents at l'skup. but say the conduct
of the men is exemplary, with the ex
ception of a small body which ran
amuck and liberated all tne prisoners.
They intend, the dispatch adds. to
bring pressure on the Government to
make it yield to all their demands and
especially to secure the restitution of
arms. The Government promises to
grant this and amnesty as well and as
a sign of good will, the Sultan will be
stow high decorations on the insur
gent leaders, provided they abandon
their advance.

Colonel Agrees With What Governor
Wilson Has to Say.
OYSTER BAT. N V.. Aug. 19
Colonel Roosevelt was delighted by his
reception in Rhode Island and Massa
chusetts, he said yesterday on his re
rtun to Oyster Bay to remain until
Wednesday, when lie will leave for
Wi'.kesbarre. Pa.
Governor Wilson's speech Saturday
at Sea Girt, Colonel Roosevelt said, in
terested him largely because of what
the Governor had to say about the Pro
gressive party. The Colonel chuckled
at the Governor's statement that It was
discontent with the two old parties that
had led to the formation of the new
partv. as well as the feeling that "men
have gone into blind alleys and come
out often enough."
"Why, someone told me that I could
not have defined the Progressive move
ment as well as that myself," exclaimed
the Colonel.
He thought he saw in Governor Wil
son s speech the result of the stand
which the Progressives had taken. The
Colonel added that he wished to speak
only in a kindly way of Governor Wilson.

MADRAS OFFICIALS ACT
TOWN . CLEANED WITHOL'T AID
OF COlSTY OFFICERS.
Crook County Saloons Reported In
Dry Territory, Paying Xo Li-,
cense. Run Wide Apen.
'MADRAS, Or Aug. 19. (Special.)
Without wishing to become a party
to the controversy Into which Governor
West and Sheriff Balfour, of Crook
County, have been engaged. I would
like to state the position tnai aiaaras
has taken in the vice crusade in Croek
County." said a city official last night.
"In the story printed in The Ore
gonlan. Saturday, Mr. Balfour in of
fering justification of his conduct as
Sheriff of the county, makes reference
to the report of the grand jury for
May, 1910. In which report that body
indicates to the Circuit Court that the
suppression of vice In the various in
corporated cities of the county should
be left In the hands of the municipal
authorities, thus insinuating that all
of the lack of proper efforts toward
suppressing vice should be laid at the
door of the city authorities, and not
the county officers, and mentioning
Madras as prominently among the de
linquents. "The truth of the matter is this. The
report Mr. Balfour refers to was made
in May. 1910. which we believe was
some seven months before Mr. Balfour
was Sheriff, and only a month after
the City of Madras had been Incor
porated. When Madras was Incor
porated in April, 1910, everything was
wide open, and vices of all varieties
were running, unchecked by county au
thorities. Naturally the cleaning up
of the city was not to be accomplished
in a week or in a month, especially
where no assistance was given by the
county authorities. Other cities were
trying to rid themselves uf undesirable
characters, both men' and women.
'This class of people, habitually fol
low railroad' construction work Into
frontier country, and as fast as they
would be driven from one city, they
would light in another, thus making it
doubly hard for the city authorities
to cope successfully with the work.
However. Madras has been persistent,
until today there Is less crime In this
city, possibly, than in any frontier city
of the same size in the West. There
are four saloons In operation, all work
ing under a license, notwithstanding
the fact, that in a neighboring town,
only five miles to the south, an equal
number of saloons are in operation, and
are paying no license, save to the In
ternal Revenue Department, and de
spite the further fact ,that the- town,
which is not incorporated, is in a dry
precinct.
"Such a state of affairs has existed
for the last year or more. There are
no members of the underworld In
Madras now. The present condition
has been brought about solely by the
city officials, acting on the knowledge
that no assistance would be tendered
by the county."

Extension of Technical Education In
County Council's Plan to Aid
Boy's Condition Today.
LONDON. Aug. 10. (Special.) The
announcement that the London Coun
ty Council Education Committee has
decided upon a comprehensive scheme
for training London boys, particularly
in the building trades, to enable them
to hold their own against the Inflowing
stream c.f young men from the coun
try, is an indirect tribute to the pro
vincial youth.
But is the London lad such an in
ferior being industrially, and does he
really stand in need of this special ef
fort on his behalf? This question was
put yesterday by a "Standard" repre
sentative to an educationist whose la
bors bring him Into intimate contact
with both classes.
"However much the London youth
may resent the suggestion that the
yokel as he may contemptuously call
him, is ahead of him, I am afraid." he
confessed, "that In a great many direc
tions the 'yokel' has the pull.
"The London Council's scheme la one
for the extension of technical educa
tion. The London boy is badly handi
capped In this direction, because Lon
don is In no sense a manufacturing
city. The boy is pitched into a trade
often without the slightest prepara
tion for it. Having picked up a few
rudiments, he is drafted into a partic
ular branch of work, and begins to spe
cialize before he knows the ground
work. Neither foremen nor managers
can afford him the time to wander
about the workshops and pick up
knowledge of other branches of his
business. It costs too much money, and
contracts have to be finished on -time.
In the London building trade, which
the London County Council has spe
cially considered, this is particularly
so.
"The country boy I am not referring
to the boy in the large provincial town,
for he is more or less handicapped as
the Londoner has, if he only knew it,
an excellent chance, even though, or
rather because, he begins in a small
way. The small way. it seems to me.
Is his ultimate salvation. He gets a
thorough Insight Into every detail of a
skilled trade, and, if he Is smart, seizes
the opportunity and comes up to Lon
don with the knowledge that he can do
himself justice "on whatever side of his
business he gets his first opportunity.
"Specialization follows, and. backed
by his all-round experience, makes him
a valuable man. Largely, as I say. It
is a matter of putting up for the mo
ment with kicks and lack of halfpence."

LONDON.' Aug. 19. The execution of
Chang Chen Wu by Chinese' government
officials is compared by the Pekin cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph to
Napoleon's -shooting of the Due d'Eng-

followed. It la the turning point, the
writer asserts, in the life of the Chi

rounds himself by troops.
Execution la Barbarous.
"According to Chinese - newspapers
the execution was carried out in a
fiendish manner. The bannerman gen
eral. Yuan Chi Kuei, who was entrust
ed with the execution, actually dined
with his victim in an European hotel
and toasted him "repeatedly. When the
dinner was over, he followed his vic
tim in another carriage to his lodging.
"On alighting from the vehicle. Gen
eral Yuah Chi Keui blew a whistle as
a signal, whereupon a forest of sabres
and bayonets sprung up like magic
about Chang Chen Wu, who was bound
and flung into a mule cart and carried
to the military court. No evidence
was given at the trial and the accused
officer was condemned to immediate
execution.
Repeated Volleys Fired.
"The first volley not killing the pris
oner, repeated volleys were fired until
the general's body was completely dis
emboweled. A message was then sent
to the victim wife for more clothes,
as her husband felt cold in the night
air." -

EACH succeeding characterization
Catherine Countiss portrays for us
we go away from the theater saying
"well, that's the test type she has
given during the season." Probably
the glories and fine qualities of the
others fade when compared with the
excellencies of the present. At any
rate she has done nothing more de
lightful in its comedy nor more wo
manlv In its understanding, than her
Cyprienne of last night's opening in
Divorcons.
The story is Itself a great aid to
furthering entertainment. It is another
tale of divorce a pertinent topic that
nowadays is of Interest, not only. to in
dividuals, but to the masses.
In "Divorcons"-a neglected wife has
taken flirtatious ways and believes
herself in love with her cousin to the
extent of asking her husband to di
vorce her. '
Husband Takea Action.
The husband, awakened to the fact
that he is in danger of losing his wife,
takes radical measures to keep her.
He appears to fall in with all her plans.
praises the new husband-to-be and
makes the path of temptation so nice
and quiet that the game loses all zest
for Cyprienne. '
She finds It is her nirsnand who is
the charmer, and decides to remain
with him.
The dramatization of VIctorlen Sar
dou's novel as furnished by Margaret
Mayo, takes on the qualities of a farce.
The Countiss players affect this inter
pretation also. . There's considerable
sentiment which is left to the audience
to ferret out of the satirical lines and
there's a great deal of clever sparkling
epigram.
Mils Counttsa la Sprightly.
Miss Countiss herself plays In high
spirits. Never has her audience heard
her laugh ring out so oiten ana so un.
affectedly happy as in this role. She
Is at once semi-naughty, with the Inno
cence of youth and the desire to be
really bad and run away from her hus
band her stage husband, As Cyprienne
she turns all sentiment away, almost
sneers and talks openly of her' glad
someness at leaving. Then she is at
tacked in turns by jealousy, doubt and
finally qualms of conscience. Then love
asserts itself.' "All of these emotions
Miss Countiss etches charmingly with
a faithful adherence to her fine intel
ligence of the playing Itself and a
showering upon us of personality that
is truly welcome. Her Cyprienne is a
positive delight.
Sidney Ayres has had few better roles
than that of the husband. As the saga
cious, understanding and wholly likable
Des Prunelles, Ayres plays in fine fettle,
with an abandonment of humor that is
Infectious, and a sympathy that begets
sympathy.
Livingstone Has Good Part. ' .
John C. Livingstone has the biggest
role of his season so far. As the lover
weak, vacillating Ademar. he plays
admirably and naturally. His comedy
bits were positively- ludicrous, and his
appearances on the scenes brought
gales of mirth.
Robert Lawler. as a gay married
Lothario, added a good character study
to the Story.
As a head waiter In a French res
taurant, Roy Clements gave a verit
able study. His accent and manner
were inimitably perfect, and he af
forded much merriment in his scene
when serving Cyprienne and her own
husband.
Myrtle Langford "as a French maid
Schad as a French butler, added comedy
Interest. Claire Sinclair is a lovely ad
venturess divorcee, and Laura Adams is
a marriageable maid, both In search of
husbands. Henry Hall, as a friend of
the family, concludes the cast.

OND FIRE IN FEW DAYS.
Wooden Buildings Burn Iilke Tinder
and Heavy Fire Wall Alone
Saves City From Disaster.
RENO, Nev., Aug. 19. For the second
time in six weeks, Tonopah City yes
terday - morning was visited by a
disastrous fire which started in the
second story of Miners' Exchange
Hall. Almost in an Instant the build
ing was a mass of flames and com
municated with the two adjoining
buildings to the north, occupied as a
restaurant and saloon. The wooden
buildings, dried under the scorching
heat of the desert sun. burned like
tinder and all efforts, to check the
flames were in vain. The damage Is
estimated at 130,000, with Insurance of
only $1000. , i
Among the buildings destroyed were
the Miners' Exchange Hall. Tonopah
Grill, Fountain bar. Miners' Exchange
saloon, Merkle shoe shop and Jack's
restaurant. The office of the Tono
pah Miners' .Union was also destroyed.
The fire started .at 3:30 o'clock this
morning, but owing to sufficient warn
ing, no one was injured. The fire
proof wall of the Nye County building
was all that stayed the progress of
the flames. The Vienna bakery and
Young's jewelry store -were badly dam
aged by both fire and water. The fire
of six weeks ago did in the neighbor
hood of $100,000 damage and the peo
ple of Tonopah had not yet recovered
from that blaze -when the fire yesterday
descended upon them.
The burned area will be Immediately
rebuilt. Tonopah was never more pros
perous than at the present time, the
mining industry being at its greatest
height.
YOUTH SCARES MOURNERS
Paris Lad Attends Own Funeral.
Law Declares Him Dead.
PARIS. Aug. 11. (Special.) Hubert
Resnier, 18 years of age, has been de
clared dead by his relatives and the
law officers of France, and is in some
thing of a fix over it. It happened ltk-j
this.
A young man jumped from the para
pet of the bridge at Courbevoie and the
body was later hauled out of the Seine
to await identification. Along came
Hubert's young brother, who declared
the body was that of his elder rela
tive, who had disappeared a fortnight
before, after a dispute with his mother.
Thereupon his mother was sent for.
On her arrival she declared that a scar
on the dead man's chest was a familiar
sign to her and he. was undoubtedly
her son. Accordingly the corpse was
laid out in her. house and friends and
neighbors joined in the mourning.
Most of them made hurried tracks for
the exits a little later, when in walked
the truant Hubert, alive and repentant.
He had made straight for his own
room, to find them all weeping over an
unknown suicide. Domestic reconcilia
tion speedily followed the alarm, but It
will be several weeks before Hubert
will be legally alive in the eyes of the
officials, for it takes time to annul a
death certificate.

PERSIAN TANGLE WORRIES
Russia Unable to Make Progress
Toward Restoring Order.
ST. PETERSBURG. Ausr. 10. (Spe
cial.) Russia Is sorely embarrassed
and much disquieted by the Persian
tangle, which grows more knotted and
fransrht with erreater danger every
day. The countrv Is completely off the
track of normal life. Peaceful pursuits
are penalized by civil war and un
punished crimes. The condition of the
population under the so-called Demo
cratic Constitution is decidedly worse
than under the arbitrary but one-sidea
misrule of the Shah Js'asreddln.
Tnrinv there is no law. no order, no
authority whatever. The peaceful in
habitants of tne AraeDii aisirici, iui
example, suffered terribly from the
struggle between the Shahsevens and
th6 Russians. They abandoned their
fields, houses and property, and are
camping in the open, undergoing Hun
ger and thirst. And that is a typical
instance of what is going on through
out the ill-starred country.
To rescue Persia from utter anarchy
it will be necessary to create a strong
force of gendarmerie, and this involves
heavy expenditure, besides postulating
an honest and patriotic administration.
foreign loan of at least five or six
millions is Indispensable and urgent;
but capitalists decline to part with
their money before seeing their way
to get it back with interest.
True, the Russian government looks
witn a hopeful eye on the situation,
and holds that the land tax and other
items of national revenue would, if
properly systematized, suffice to pay a
fair percentage on the necessary capi
tal, but the Russian government has not
yet contrived to communicate its faith
to bankers. The whole business is
moving in a vicious circle. The capital
ists argue that order must be restored
before money can be lent. . whereas
politicians retort that money is a re
quisite before order can be re-established.
And between these two .stools
Persia is falling to ruin.
AWFUL DEATHS DESCRIBED
Two Men Who Fell Into Ravine Tell
of Their Sufferings.
VIENNA, Aug. 10. (Special.) The
two Austrian schoolboys. Bargezl and
Leimberger, who disappeared on a ski
ing tour last December, and who have
just been discovered buried in snow
in an almost inacessible ravine near
SalzburfT. left pathetic messages de
scriptive of their sufferings.
Leimberger had used a printed card
bearing the inscription. "A Merry
Christmas," under which he had writ
ten "Unfortunately not for us." On
Bargezi a letter was found in which he
said: "We have been here for two days,
and have nothing left to eat. Leimbarg
er's hands are frozen; he can write no
more. In order not to die slowly of
starvation, we have decided to open
the arteries in our wrists and bleed
to death."
An examination of the bodies showed.
however, that the boys had not car-
ried out this Intention; presumably they
were already too far gone.
Bandits Fight Desperately.
VIENNA. Aug. 10. (Special.) Two
Russian bandits named Mielenk and
Josephowicz. made a desperate fight
against the Austrian police at Szczako
wa, a frontier station where Austrian.
Russian and German trains meet. They
were arrested in a train, but managed
to escape into the open country, where
they took cover and opened fire on
their pursuers. Mielenk jumped nto
the river, and standing in the water
up to his- shoulders fired 200 shots,
keeping the police at bay for three
hours. The police returned thj fire,
but were unable to hit the human
target in the water. When their ;im
munitlon was about exhausted, both
Mielenk and Josephowicz fired bullets
through their own heads. One rolke
officer was wounded.
