August, 16 King Peter's troubles as the ruler of a turbulent country have begun. A few days ago he was compelled to rescind an appoint ment wnicn ne bad caused to be an nounced in the official . paretic. Today the entire ministry, which was formed immediately alter the assassination of Kine Alexander and before King Peter took oath as Serva's mlar, resigned. Quarrels between officers who partici pated in the assassination of King Alexander and those who had no part in it are to be the cause of the ministry's resignation. St. Petersburg , Ang. 16.

Test Smelter. T. K. Richardson, who is a prominent stockholder in the improved Mineral Smelter Co. with principal business of fice at Roseburg, Oregon, was in the city last Friday. Mr. Richardson Is highly elated over the tests already made by his company, and states that his com pany will this week commence the erec tion of a plant at Anaconda, Montana, which is put in at the instigation of prominent mining men, with the view of making a complete test of the new system, to determine the merits claim ed for it. C. D. Williams and M. Blanchard were the founders of the company, Mr. Blanchard being the inventor, while T. K. Richardson, having become a promi nent stockholder, is secretary. The big test is made at Anaconda, Montana, for the reason that it is purely a smelter country, and the results of a test given i.. lhat place will be ghen to wor!i. rest feature of the nen system if Uie consuming of the smoke and the combustible gass with the use of any lignitie coke. It consists of a double furnace, the secondary furnace utilizing the heat from the furnace. The heat is driven down from the first furnace and through the slag pit ; up through the secondary furnace. Mr. Richardson states that his company has given the system a thorough test and they are all satisfied with the results and are confi dent that it will reduce all ores. Mr. Richardson states that the companys smelter is looked upon with great favor by mining men who have had occasion to examine Into its merits, and that many solicitations have been received for the purchase of the stock, but the stock is all taken by the founders of the company. The outcome of the tests at Anaconda will be watched with much interest, as it is claimed not only to be perfect in every detail but a great money saver over all other systems. Bohemia Nugget. AMERICANS OWN AMERICA. Reason Why No Panic Can Occur at This Time. London says she is not interested in ' the Wall street flurry. She nas no es pecial need to be. England owns com paratively little American speculative properties at the present time say the St. Louis G. D. There was a day, and that not very remote, when British investors had very large holdings of property on this side of the Atlantic. Thev owned so many stocks and bonds in the United States, in fact, that some timid or blind per sons feared that England would soon dictate the politics and shape the social life of this country. The panic of 1693 led to vast sales of American properties by British owners. In the crash at that time English in vestors, who had bten rendered espe cially nervous by their losses in Argen tina's smash up in 1890-01 and in the wreck in Australia in 1892, believed there was to be a general cataclysm in the financial world, and they disposed of their American securities in 1S93-95 at great losses, Americans, in most in stances, being the buyers. In the con vulsion, which lasted till the republi cans entered power in 1S97, many hun dreds of millions of dollars' worth of American properties thus came into the hands of American owners, and in the advance that set in immediately after ward Americans were lanre earners. - J CJ 3gere is the principal reason why Lon don is expressing no alarm over the lit tle disturbance on Wall street. The United States has also a good reason for unconcern. No serious consequences are likely to come from the break in stocks. The crops are good, all the leading industries are busy, and the general business public throughout the country is confident. Nobody is fright ened at the outlook.

BLACK FLAG OF TURKEY. THE REVOLUTION CAN NOT BE SUPPRESSED. THERE WILL BE, TROUBLE BE TWEEN TURKEY AND RUSSIA BEFORE LONG. Ckttisje, Mo.vtexeqro, August 16. The Servians throughout old Servia are in a state of panic because of the de parture of the Turkish troops for Mon astir, which removes all protection from the Servians against the vengeance of the Abanians, who will give no quarter. The Times prints a dispatch from Sofia which says that the Turkish authorities at Usknb have distributed 5000 rifles to the Mohammedan population, which al ready threatens the Christians with mas sacre. Statements from Bulgarian sources as sert that the revolutionists possess 35, 000 rifles, 15,000,000 cartridges and four tonsof dynamite; that the insurgents number 25,000, lot whom 10,000 are in the vilayet of Monastir. A climax of terrible massacres may occur at any time. Even at Belgrade the Mohammedans are beginning to arm themselves. The Turks now threat en recourse to dynamite. Salomca, August 17. It is reported that the Turkish troops on Monday bom barded and destrpvfd the village of EkshiauStwenty-ona miles south of Mon astir. According to another rumor, the insurgents who have occupied Krushevo after repulsing two assaults by the Turk ish troops, offered a conditional surren der. Instructions were asked from Constantinople, and in reply the Turkish commander received orders to give no quarter. The bridge at Gievgveli, on the Uakub-Salonica railway, which was blown up by the insurgents, has been paired..

The conference re-luted rather to methods of procedure in the work afj hand than to the form of the legislation. 1 At 7 :30 Saturday morning the members of the committee left Sagamore Hill, boarded their yatcb, the Virginia, and sailed for Providence on their return to Senator Aldrich's homo. . Qne fact of distinct importance was developed at the conference. While an J extraordinary session of Congress nex 1 ed to meet in October or in November. j It has been supposed that the extraor dinary session would convene on Mon day, November 9, but the indications I now are that it will be called for an j earlier date, perhaps several weeks earl , ier. The primary purpose of the extraordi : nary session will be to enact legislation making operative the Cuban reciprocity treaty, but financial legislation aleo will ! be pressed upon the attention of Con I gress soon after it convenes. It can be said that the Senate finance committee j will draft no measure formally and con I dueively until consultation! hare beea l held with other members of the Senate Democrats as well as Republican and with members of the House, and with the best authorities on finance in the country. It is the desire of the com mittee to be conbtantly in touch with the President, with other Senators, with members of the House, with bankers of the West as well as those of the East, and with country bankers as well as city bankers, so that some plan of legis lation may be formed by the opening of the extraordinary session of Congress. It is the hope of the committee to de vise a genuinely elastic currency system a system that will expand when the necessity shall arise, and contract when the necessity shall have ceased to exist. The Negro Belongs South. Northern people as a rule have a great deal of sympathy for the negro down South, says the Eugene Guard. They have no use for him in their own com munities. Witness this from the Ore gonian, and it may be remarked that ; paper is generally consistent on the race question, barring of course politi cal compaigna when it has said some necessarily harsh things: "To induce negroes to emigrate in large numbers to the north is the part of the foolish and will result in two race problems instead of one." The South appreciates the negro and the negro appreciates the southern peo ple. Climate, real sympathy from the people among whom his existence fcnd that of his progenitors have been spent, everything bind bim to the south. "It is the part of the foolish" those take who seek to indace the negro to move bis habitatloa'sortb. But when did you ever know or hear of a practical philanthropist in this" negro line of busi ness? They all start with the assump tion that the negro has been terribly abused, and find out their mistake only by personal as tfcty wk to baa by personal association with the people U coi-Luu vmtbU I . Disaster to the Hop. Crop. The hop crop is likely to be injured by lice in the Willamette Valley this year unless the weather turns warmer. Damp, cool weather conduces to the multiplication of these pests, according to a well-known grower of Aurora, spok en to today, and many of the leaves of the vines have already been killed, says a Telegram correspondent. "We have just gotten over the scare about the vines not growing as they should," he said, "and now. the lice problem confronts us. Spraying will be beneficial in some instances, but a few hot days would be better than all the spraying we could do.' as it is diffi cult to reach the under part of the heavy vines with a spray pump. Hop picking will probably begin about the 5th of next month, and there is j still time for the situation to be much . . , improved, however." i He looks for fair prices, as buyers are already in the field offering an advance over recent quotations.

HONK-A-TONK HONK-A-TONKS ROSEBURG'S RED HOT BABI-HUMAYUH. THE INNER MYSTERIES OF & SWELL ESTABLISHMENT OH JACKSON STREET. There was a surging crowd of spec tators and witnesses in Jndge Buchanan's court on Friday, to see the victim and hear the evidence given in the examining, trial of Oscar Warren charged with felony in attempting to murder or doing serious bodily injury to one George Brown, and for fear that other Browns will feel aggrieved at the report we state,, that this Brown is a stage coach driver.' The evidence of the- prosecution- Vent to show that Brown, on. Thursday even ing went into Gardiner's Cruiser's saloon on Jackson, street and in con nection or opening: into the saloon there is a babi-hmnayun where capti vating damsels,, reveling in all the witchery of Parisian calso mining are on free exhibition and this attraction has a great power over young men in their ninnage and bald headed ga loots in nonnage and occasionally if not; quite frequently men with fami lies, who are supposed to be modeB husbands and fathers. The evidence: went to show that Oscar Warren who is a bartender at the saloon, for some trivial cause commenced to beat, pound and kick Brown and after Brown was down kicked and stamped him until he was an unidentifiable mass of flesh and blood. To such an V.n-i,! f xtnt was the bloody az several hours sewing the man tor -gether and when he appeared in the Justice Court on Friday, he was car ried by four men on a stretcher, rte was accompanied by his faithful and devoted wife and to show the malice of the defense in the presence of that true and noble woman, one questinn and one only was asked by the de-" fense and that was asked Brown. The exact words we cannot print but the question was to this effect: Did you not have a woman sitting on your knees? After hearing all the evi dence the defendant was bound over to await the action of the Circuit. Court, bond in the sum of $2,000 be ing required which the defendant failed io give and he is now one of Sheriff Parrott's star boarders.
