X.OVDOBT, April 7 All Europe is ap
palled by the report tha Christiana to
th, number of 11.000 bar, bn mas
sacred by Albanian.
The report reoelved here says that
n.lth.r women nor llttla children were
pared by the fanatical hordes who at
tacked the City of Okhrlda at night and
did their awful deed of oaraag-e before
the dawn oame to chow them the extent
f their horrible work.
All Europe, too, la now aronaed aa It
bae not been aroused before, to the oon
lltlons In the provinoee of the Turk,
all Europe today Is demanding- a swift,
terrible revenge for this enormous
acrlllce of Christian lives to th blood
ihlrst of the M ohamedans.
The report. as yet meagre, and unoon
flrmeU from Solla says the entire Chris
tian population of Okhrlda, numbering
11.000 ha been massacred by the Al
banians, t
A Nlrht Assault.
They took the place at night. Men.
their homes and ruthlessly slain.
There la Immense excitement here and
the utmost endeavors are being made
to secure the exact details. Crowds Mil
the streets, watching the bulletin boards.
The City of Okhrlda overlooks Lake
Okhrlda and rises to a height of 3.070
feet above the lakes surface. It Is a
wild country. The nearest city of any
size is Monastlr, which has a population
of 500. UUO.
Attempts are being made to gain news
through the latter city, which Is 28
miles from Okhrlda.

BELGRADE, April Y In view of the

sued two proclamations aimed to re
Store unity to the country.
Parliament Is dissolved by the first
proclamation, and the second restores
the old Constitution to full validity. It
has the effect of nullifying Draga's ef
forts to gain the throne for his brother
when Alexander dies. This is one of the
main causes of the enmity of the people
against her.

The nnion soored a very decisive victory at 11 o'clock this morning. At that

and signed an agreement to the effect that if the men who were called off the

be employed. He further agreed that If sheeny Bros., who have the painting eon.

Bhecuy Bros, are members of the Master Painters' Association, and It is be
lieved that this turn of affairs will have. a demoralising effect upon that organ,

Von-unlon msa are reported to be at work on two other small Jobs on Mor
rison etreet. They will probably be declared unfair this afternoon.
Despite the Orst victory gained by the union men there la every reason to
believe that the master painters will not give up without a struggle. Should
the light be prolonged it la not unlikely that fully 3,000 worklna; man will
be Involved. This means oomplete stagnation In building' circles.
Mayor Williams has suggested arbitration, but as yet neither the union men
nor the master painters have taken any steps looking to the adoption of such
a plan.

the vote had been cast before 9 o'clock.
and although It has been one of the

history, not a disturbance has been re
ported from any of the polling places,
Betting is even and fully a half mil

waw that of Bookmaker Cleary, who
wagered $25,000 on Carter Harrison,

ROBBER HOLDS UP
A BEAUJIFUL GIRL
Neither sex, youth nor beauty are qualifications for exemption when
the Portland highwayman takes the road. This is attested by the fact
that Miss Pearl Lamberson. V years of ae and prtty, was madeto
"stand and deliver' at the point of an ugly-looking revolver, "n,
That the girl and her companion, Ray Lamberson, her brother, were
not relieved of anything of value was due to the fact that the hojd-up ar
tist whose victims they were meant to be, was a novice In hlb line. Al
though money could have been taken from them, the robber consented
himself with slapping the pockets of his victims, noting the absence of
jingle and bidding them "move on."
A flaring arc light at the' corner of Nineteenth and Hancock streets,
Irvington, shed its rays over the place the robber chose for the perpetra
' tion of his daring crime. He wore no mask, and his features were plainly
discernible to the two young people whom he faced.
Obeying the young "Btlck-up's" command, the boy and his sister hur
ried home, there tolling In breathless excitement the experience that
had befallen them. The police were notified immediately, and detectives
were dispatched to investigate.
This Is the boldest hold-up occurring since the daylight robbery some
two months ago, and leads the officers to the belief that- a new man has
arrived on the scene. That an experienced man would be so bold is son"
sidered scarcely creditable, however, and from the manner in which he
operated the police believe him an amateur.
The hold-up is described by Pearl and Ray Lemberson as a man prob
ably 21 years of age, with light hair and blue eyes. He was dressed
neatly and wore a dark suit at the time.

FARGO, s. V.. April 7. Western hos
pitality was the keynote of the magnifi
cent welcome tendered to President
Roosevelt this morning. From hundreds
of milts around the city came throngs
of people to greet the nation's executive
and to lienr him speak.
Mr. Roosevelt umse early this morn
ing and for the Hist time since his
Westward Journey began he donned his
famous "Rough Rider" hat. As the party
alighted I'lurn the special train the
crowd caught sight of the familiar hat
and there was a shout of delight.
After breakfasting the President was
escorted In the Upeia House. The build
ing was already Jammed with people to
its capacity, and hundreds were unable
to force nil entrance.
The President's address was devoted
to the Philippines and the army. After
paying a high tribute to the soldiers of
the Northwest, who fought In the Civil
War and the war with Spain, Mr. Roose
velt referred to the words of McKinley
concerning "Those of little faith w,.o
wished us to abandon tin- Islands."
After leaving the Opera House the
President addressed an overflow meeting
from the balcony of the Waldorf Hotel.
MAT0B WILUAK8.
"The strike that threatens the
City of Portland will. If allowed
to come to a full head, be a public
disaster, and should be settled by
arbitration us In the end all
parties Interested will find that
this is the only way by which
thy can successfully adjust their
grievances.
"1 am willing to do anything
In my power, either to appoint a
commission to arbitrate this ques
tion or to act In that capacity
myself. My opinion Is that the
party that acts first along these
Hues will find public sympathy
entirely on Its side, which, of
course, would naturally help their
HUse.
"Further continuance of the
strike will Interfere materially
with the prosperity of the city,
and I sincerely hope that the
parties Interested will not be
stubborn and forget ths duty they
owe the people at large. By all
means let them arbitrate."

FARGO. S. IV, April 7. "The Philip
pines. Their Administration, and the
Army of the I'nited States." That was
the subject of President Roosevelt's
address In the Opera House of this city
this morning. He said:
Sons of the Northwest.
My Fellow Citizens:
The Northwest, whose sons in the
Civil War added such brilliant pages to
the honor lull of the republic, likewise
lime a full share In the struggle of
which the war with Spain was the be
ginning; a struggle slight Indeed when
compared with the gigantic death wres
tle which fur for years stamped to and
fro across the Southern Stales in the
Civil War; hut a struggle fraught with
consequences to tile nation, and indeed
to the world, out of all proportion to
the smalless of the effort upon our part.
Three ami a half years ago President
McKinley spoke In the adjoining State of
j Minnesota on the occasion uf the return

What he sakl then lav In the realm of
t'nlesa the Waster Painters' Associa
tion secedes from the position assumed
by It yesterday a general building
trades' strike is certain to ensue. Its
members decided to employ non-union
men Just as soon as they can possibly
procure them. If this plan Is faith
fully adhered to every building upon
which the non-unionists go to work will
be tied up. according to the statement
made by those who are conducting the
strike. These tactics would soon throw
in the neighborhood of 2.500 or 3,000
men out of employment.
The strikers say that they are deter
mined to carry on an aggressive fight.
They state Ciat they will adopt no half
way measures, let results be what they
may. At the meeting of the Building
1 rades Council last night they took oc
casion to censure the Board of Trade
for Its presumption, as they term It.

course tiiey should take during the pres

made.

Tonight both the Master Builders'
and the lirlcklayers' Associations meet.
Their action is being awaited with In
terest. It is certain that tiiey will dis
cuss the strike situation In all Its varl-
otis phases. It Is believed that they
will force the issue by extending to tha
! Master Painters' Association their fult'
Biipport and earnest co-operation. If
! they do It will resolve itself into a flght.
I organist d capital versus organised la
bor, pure and simple. The Protective
Loborers' Union, the members of which
are employed by the Bricklayers' Asso
ciation, are asking for concessions. If
the association takes the same stand a
the Master Painters, matters will
more complicated. G. W. Gordon, a mas
ter builder and a member of the asso
ciation, says that the time Is comlna
when each painter. r carpenter and all
other craftsmen will be paid what they
are worth and no more. The minimum
scale will be done away with and good
men will draw the best of wage, while
poor mechanics will receive smaller re
muneration. Whether he Intends to In

the association tonight he declined to
say. but he admitted that the Mastel
Builders will have to place themselves

The strikers are confident of winning?
out in a few days. At their meeting this
morning the first thing the Executive
Board did was to appoint six mora
special business agents to patrol differ
ent sections of the city with Instruc
tions to lose no time in reporting all
buildings where non-union painters are
employed. At such places the union
mechanics will be withdrawn with little
or no ceremony. That they will heed the
order to quit was demonstrated yester
day at the Falling Building and a new ,
residence on Sixteenth and Irving
streets, where all the men were called
off. These two structures are still
designated as unfair. Not a man la em
ployed about the Falling Building to
day, with the exception of two non.
union iron workers. A representative o
the estate called at unloij headquarters
this morning and inquired what step
would be necessary in order to have th
work resumed. He was Informed thai -as
soon as the contractors decide to put
union men to work there, and no others. 1
the difficulty would be settled Immedi
ately. The matter Is now pending and
many believe that a full crew of men
will soon be at work on the building .

"I was walking the track." said Scott, "and had reachedthe trestle
