Determined That Steps be Taken to Rem t edy Scandals In Army Administration. Doesn't Share In Public Indigna tion Against Lansdowne. Br Cable to ths Morning Btar. London, Sept. 23. The political crisis has taken on a phase which lends to the present situation a historical and constitutional Importance of al most unprecedented Interest. The king has Interfered not uncon stitutionally or beyond the powers rested in the crown, but In the exer cise of hfs prerogatives to an extent never dreamed of in the Victorian era. Premier Balfour's continued pres ence at Balmoral has given rise to much surmise and comment, but the Associated Press in able to state defi nitely that it is due to the King's de termination not to assent to the form ation of a new cabinet until thorough ly satisfied that Its personnel and com bination are such as to ensure the effi cient carrying on of tha affairs of the empire pending the resumption of Parliament. For yearn previous cab- nets were formed or ministerial va cancies tilled with the mere formal presentation to the sovereign of the names of the new ministers. King Edward has done away with this tradi tion. He has spent the last few days n constant discussion with Mr. Bal four as to the advisability from the point of view of the national welfare of the latter's suggested appointments. Ministers now holding office and those nominated for office have been sum moned to Balmoral to join in these conferences. To such an extent is King Edward holding his power of veto ia reserve, that now he is almost regarded by the nner circles as more the cabinet maker than Mr. Balfour himself. Though with his usual tact, the king has refrained from expressing any po litical views or Infringing the Initia tive belonging to the ministers, this has not prevented bim from express- ng his genuine desire, amounting almost to a command, that steps be taken to remedy the scandals In the army administration, revealed by the report of the South African war com mission, and Insisting that the new cabinet shall be one adapted to deal with that question. King Edward has not shared the keen public Indignation against Lord Lansdowne aroused by the report of the Bouth African war commission, and after a minute examination of the circumstances he is understood to have consented to his lordship continuing as foreign minister. The decision haa not prevented his majesty from frankly telling the ministers that he wanted something done to improve the mili tary muddle and that he hoped some man would be appointed who with the commission's report as a basis would be capable of changing the sys tem which rendered Inefficiency un avoidable. The question of having some gen eral, notably Lord Kitchener, as head of the war office, has been keenly dis cussed at Balmoral between the king and the ministers, but the Associated Press understands that the consensus of opinion was that such an appoint ment would bo Interpreted as. a modi fied form of military dictatorship which the public would never sanc tion.

Enclosed wiUi every bottle IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTS. Movement to Curtail Production. ; U. S. Steel Trust May Close All Its Sheet Steel Plants. By Telegraph to the Horning Btar. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept 83. The Chronicle-Telegraph says It was learn ed to-day that a movement la on to curtail the production of pig iron, be ginning October 1. The Bessemer Furnace Association, which controls a number of furnaces In the Mahoning and Shenango val leys, has consented to the arrange ments, but the details have not yet been agreed upon. A falling off in the demand for pig Iron is an indica tion of a falling off in the demand for finished iron and steel products. The United States Steel Corporation may close all its sheet steel plants In the near future unless the Amalga matedAssociation will consent to a reduction under the same plan as was agreed upon last Fall. The reason for this attitude is an overstocked market and the dullness of trade at this time of the year. Last year the Amalga mated Association accepted a reduc tion 'of three per cent on all material made for foreign riders, and the steel company it is said Intends to make a similar request this year. President T. J. Schaffer, of the Amalgamated. stated that he felt sure that the limit would not be changed, and that exist ing conditions do not warrant it. . ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. U. S Con8nI General Skinner at Marseilles to Conclude a Commercial Treaty With King Menellk. By Telegraph to the Horning Btar. Washington, Sept. 23. In case the condition of affairs In Turkey will justify the withdrawal of the cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco from Beirut and the gunboat Machias from Port Said, where they have been for the past few weekr, it is probable that all three vessels, comprising the pres ent European squadron, will be sent to Jibuti, a port on the east coast oi Af rica. The purpose of this cruise is to show the Interest taken by the United States in the establishment of intimate commercial relations with the govern ment of Abyssinia. Mr. Skinner, United States consul general at Marseilles, who is to make a personal visit to King Menelik, at his capital, Adls Abeba, in the moun tains of the interior of his extensive domains to conclude a commercial treaty, is now in this country making arrangements for his expedition and probably will atartin about two or three weeks: for the eastern Mediterra nean, from which region he will com plete his journey to Jibuti on one of the vessels of Captain Cotton's squad ron. In case it is decided to send the entire squadron to the east coast of Africa on this mission it will not be necessary for them to leave their pres ent stations for at least a month. TUNNEL ON THE N. & W. R. R. Mountain Tbroorh Which It Runs Now Burning All Attempts to Extinguish the Blaze Have Failed. By Telegraph to the Horning Btar. Bristol, Tens., Sept. 23. From an authoritative source It Is learned that the Norfolk & Western railroad is contemplating laying a track around the mountain through which the Craigen tunnel extends and which Is now burning. The discovery was made this week that two veins of coal which were struck when the tunnel was being made have caught fire, and time alone may determine the result of the blsze. Every effort of the rail road to extinguish the fire has been in Tain. Over nine hundred men are now employed at the tunnel, which is about 1.000 feet long. Both of its ends have been stopped up securely and an air shaft run into the top of the mountain in an effort to smother the blaze. Water is being pumped into the cavitv. and It was thought that in this manner the fire would finally be reached and auenched. All of these efforts have seemingly proven in vain and the fire still rager, each day appa rently adding to its volume. To lav the track around the moun tain it is said will involve an expendi ture of half a million dollars. EMBARKED FOR BOSTON. Two Hundred Members of the Honorable Artillery Company of London.

Fighting on the Frontier. By Cable to the Homing Btar. Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept 23. A less hopeful feeling prevails to-day in gov ernment circles regarding the general aituation, although no actual change Is reported. ' The events of the next ten days are awaited with great anxiety and popu lar feeling is becoming more excited. A largely attended meeting of Mace donian sympathizers,held at Rustchuk, Bulgaria, has adopted resolutions ap pealing to the Bulgarian government to declare war on Turkey Immediately. in revolutionary circles war Is be lieved to be imminent unless Turkey stops massacreing the Christians, of which there are no signs at nresent Dr.Cbristo Tatarcheff, president of the Macedonian organizations, has In formed the Associated Press correspon dent that the insurgent committees at tach no importance to the reported ne gotiations between Turkey and Bulga ria, because similar propositions were discussed in 1897 and later In 1899 and 1900. The Porte, added Dr. Tatarcheff, only entered into the conference in order to gain time to finish the extermination of what it regards as the most dangerous elements in Macedonia, and have the troops now at Monastir free to move against Bul garia and bring more soldiers from Asia. While the Sultan thus discusses preparations for reform in Macedonia the troops continue to massacre the Christians and devastate the country. Special significance attaches to the Macedonian meeting at Bustchuk, be cause the resolutions adopted are the first open expression of such an em phatic character In favor of war com ing from any popular meeting in Bul garia. Bustchuk is the chief commer cial town in the country. Beaolutlons were also passed thanking the rope. the English bishops, the Trades Union Congress, and the British and Ameri can press for their expressions of sym pathy with the Macedonian cause. irigbtlng is reported tp nave taken place near Kotcbani, on the frontier.
