LIVU IN ANARCHY. Moras Have No Government, Says Ocn cral Sumner. Portland, Sept. 8. "I thine tho most perfectly form ol anarchy existing In the world today la to be found among tho Moroa, tho Malay trlbo which In habits tho Island of Mindanao In tho Philippines," said General 8. S. Sum ner. General Sumner has jnat returned from tho Philippines, where he waa In command of the southorn district ol Luzon for in ire than a year and waa later transfened to the command ot the wild and Impenetrable jungles ol Mindanao. He la now on hla way to assume command of tho department of the Missouri with headquarters at Omaha. "I do not think the public appreciates the groat work that the military has accomplished," said tho general. "In Mindanao, for Instance, we hare built hlghwaya which afford easy access from the seashore to the interior lake around which dwell more than 60,000 Moroa, the anarchists of whom I speak. 'These people are Mohammedans and have been for tonio 400 years. They have absolutely no system of gov ernment and tho individuals of the tribes pay only the slightest deference to their dattos or nominal rulers. Nor bave there dattos any chief among them. When they combined to offer resistance to the American forces, thoy each acted upon hla own responsibility They had no central head. Each datto bossed his own men and took no orders from any quarter. They till the land they occupy, but It seems to belong to tho whole community as a body and even the crops are gathered by the vil lage at large. "The Moroa have no property lawa, and the ability to acquire possession of any article Is the only requisite for ita acquirement. A Moro thinks it per foctly justifiable to kill anybody in order to get anything. He tblnka no more of killing a soldier to get hla bay onet, than he would think of taking away a bone from a dog. It ia genuine anarchy." DULQARIA AT CRITICAL POINT. Increasingly Threatening Aspect In Dalkans Affects AU Europe. the London, Sept. 8. The situation is r it leal for the Bulgarian government, telegraphs the Sofia correspondent of the Times, not only on account of Mac edonia, but also because of tho internal political complications. The Vienna correspondent of the Times reports that in various compe tent quartrea the danger of a Turko- Bulgarian conflict ia reported to be graver at the present moment than at any previous juncture. It la believed in Vienna he adda, that if war breaks out, it will be lesa on account of Bul garian sympathy with the Macedonians than because the Bulgarians fear tbe untoward consequences to their own country of the return en masse of tbe desperate, disappointed insurgent lead ers, who would swamp Bulgarian pub lic life.

I A DECISIVE STAND AMERICA MUST MAKB TURKEY LIS TEN OR DROP MISSIONARIES.

Tho Morning Post publishes a letter from Its Constanti nople correspondent, in which ho die cutFsa the Beirut affair, and the posi tion of the American missionaries in Asia Minor. He says: "Things have arrived at a crisis. The United States must either Insist upon tho porto listening to Its tepro eentatlons regarding American converts or drop the missionaries altogether. Tbe latter course is naturally Impossi ble, and the ponding of a squadron haa great algnlQcance aa showing a detorm Inatlon on tho part of America to take an active part in the Turkish question. "One result of this step will probab ly be to induce the sultan to raise his representative at Washington to the rank of ambassador so that the United States can be equally represented here. At present, America is at a drided dls advantage in this respect compared with the other first-class powers. "Nobody can quite foresee the ulti mate attltudo of tho United States, hut It is almost certain that her weight will Incline on the aide of tho Chris tain against the Turk. At the same time, as a matter of Importance to Great Britain, Amorica la almost bound to oppose the descent of Russia on the Dardanelles, because In religious mat teia the Turk is more telerant than the Russian."

Th llellaiico, tlio Amotion!! cup defender, yesterday won tho third rnd dual raco and Iho series ter that famous sea trophy, the America's cup. In n dense log, which prevented vision beyond 200 yards, she llulshed th laco at 6i!l0t02, amid tlio acclamations ot the asssuiblod fleet. The Bhnturock III, alter limning lor morn than nn hour In tlio tog, mUsod the finishing Hue, passed by It, and returned tu It from tho opposite direc tion. As tlio ltellanro was then being towed through tho fleet, the yacht's ensign llutterlng from her truck and spreaders In celebration ol her victory, thn Shamrock III did not cross the finish line. As often said ot the historic rant, when America won the cup there was no sorond. This result was achieved ouly after four lutlln attempts tu sail oft thn final race, and alter tho outcome had been admitted by even Sir Thomas l.lptnn to ha a foregouo conclusion. Yesterday's was thn eighth attempt to sail a raco. Alter one lluko, the Itellance won the two (ollowlng races, one by seven minutes and thrro sec onds, and the other by one uiiunto and 111 seconds. A week sgo the first at tempt to ull the third race failed, and attempts have been made every day this week. On theso occasions thn lie Hence led tho Shamrock to thn finish line by two miles, but failed to reach It before the expiration of the time limit of five and a hall hours, Yesterday's victory means that the cup Is destined to remain In America until Knglaud Is able to produce a gen ius otitial to Heneshoft In yacht design ing. Itarnly, It ever, has there been a more spectacular finish than thn Hell ance's yeeterday. After racing for mora than an hour at terrific speed through a blinding fog, the Itellance burst through thn wall ol mist upon the vision of the spectators on thn Hoot assembled at thn tlnleli linn and reel ing under a bellying balloon Jib lop nail, Willi her lee rail awash, flew across thn finish linn lolly three miles ahead ot the Shamrock, almost before the spectators could determine for a certalnlty that It waa her. Oote more the Yankee boat had added to the long string of victories In contest! for the honored old silver trophy that carried with it the bluo ribbon of tbe sea. KILL AT WILL.
