2 MENACING TURKEY WITH AN INVASION It May Followanlnsurrection in Macedonia. BULGARIA IN A FERMENI A Report in Vienna That if Bulgaria Attacks Turk-yand Fails Russia Will Wove its Heavy Columns to Her Aid. (By the Associated Tress.) Vienna, Feb. 9.—lt is asserted here that Bulgaria is determined to invade Tur key in the event of an insurrection in Macedonia, and that the Macedonian ele ment in Bulgaria is so strong that noth ing can prevail against it. Preparations for a great rising are proceeding quite openly. Four hundred officers in the Bulgarian army arc asking for a prolonged leave, which will not be refused, in order to assist th e rising in Macedonia. It is re iterated that seven bands, aggregating 6,000 men already have been formed. The three largest bands are led by Colonels Yankoff, Sarafoff and Zontoheff respec tively. The bands will spread through out Macedonia under daring leaders and it is calculated that they will soon be re inforced a hundred fold. The unusually mild weather now pre vailing in the Balkans is held to favor an early outbreak, the only difficulty be ing the lack of funds, which it is in tended to overcome by the forcible levy of a patriotic tax on Macedonians.

It/fs felt here that while Turkey’s re inforcement of her troops in Macedonia Ufiay be justified, in view of the internal r-* situation and the Austro-Servian mili tary preparations, the mobilization at Adrianople can be regarded only as a menace to Bulgaria. It is stated that the government will refrain from any counter demonstration and only mobilize the Bulgarian army in the ease of ex treme necessity, it being fully realized that even a successful conflict with Tur key would mean financial ruin to Bul garia. flan For Proposed Reforms. (By the Associated Press.)

C., Feb. 9.—An autopsy performed upon the body of Dan Shines, a well connected young colored man, of this city, who died upon his arrival at the hospital yesterday morning as the result of wounds received in a negro rendezvous in the northern section of the city, disclosed the fact that death was due to stabbing. His back was lit erally full of holes and the evidence at the coroner’s inquest today shows that while for a trifling cause, a young negro named Thomas was beating him in the face, Thomas’ brother was stabbing him in the back.

BCOTIISH ORATOR LAST NIGHT, Prof. Ambrose McNeil Lectures at the Olivia Raney Library The' usual small Raleigh lecture au dience greeted Prof. Ambrose Mac Neil, the Scottish orator, at the Olivia Raney Library Hall last night. The lecture was delivered under the auspices of the L. O’B. Branch Comp, Confederate Veterans, with the view to raising money to de fray the expenses of the camp’s drum corp to New Orleans. In that regard, the camp will be as much disappointed as the speaker, as the audience was too small to render any considerable surplus in the way of proceeds. Captain A. B. Stronach presented the speaker in a neat manner. The lecture, though r.ot a long one, was a beautiful tribute to the Confederacy, its heroes and survivors, to the chivalry and honor of Southern men and to the heroism, virtue, beauty and patriotism of Southern women. The address was applauded through out, and was seemingly much enjoyed by all present.

It is the opinion of both the Italian Am bassador and the German Minister that the insertion in their protocols of those demands is the result of a serious mis understanding on the part of their For eign Offices of certain phases of the ne gotiations which were supposed to be settled. They are using every effort to have this misunderstanding cleared up. WAR DECLARED, IT IS BAID. Between Guatemala on One Hand, Honduras and Salvador on the Other (By the Associated Press.)

C., Feb. 9.—lnformation was obtained here today which will doubt less establish the guilt of the parties who burglarized the hank at Mocksville a few days since, and who are thought to be now in limbo at Monroe. Four men, early on the morning after the bank had been robbed, crossed the Yadkin River and took breakfast at the residence of Mrs. Sam’l. Rowe, of Churchland. After leaving this place they passed on into Rowan county in the direction of Monroe. They are described as having been well dressed, but their clothing was bespattered with mud and their pockets bulged with papers. They claimed to be surveying a tele phone route and kept away from the main road as much as possible, which ex cited the suspicions of the people in the neighborhood It is confidently believed they were the bank robbers.

LLOYD’S SUPERB SPEECH He Speaks on the Ques ion of Recognition o' the Unions and Yearly Trade Agree ments — sses by I Mc- Carthy and Brutrim, Saving of $5,000, (By the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Feh. 9.—Argument for and against the demands of the union | anthracite mine works, which will con tinue before the Coal Strike Commission for the next six days was begun today when the miners, through Daniel J. Mc- Carthy. of Hazelton, made the opening argument. Mr. McCarthy was followed by former Congressman Brum, of Min ersville, who made a long argument and Henry Dcmarest Lloyd, of Chicago, who confined his efforts to the question of recognition of the unions and yearly trade agreements. The operators will begin their argu ment tomorrow, continuing three days and closing with George F. Baer, presi dent of the Reading Company. Clarence S. Darrow, of Chicago, the principal counsel for the miners, will take up all of Friday and Saturday until adjourn ment in summing up the case and in an swering President Baer. President Mitch ell, of the Miners’ Vnion. is expected here during the week. Whether he will address the commission depends upon de velopments. Among those in the court room was President George F. Baer, of the Read ing Company. With the exception of the opening day in Washington last October, it is his only visit to the commission’s hearings so far. As soon as the hear ing opened Mr. McCarthy began his ar gument. He made a strong plea for a twenty per cent increase of minors wages, saying the occupation 'was a hazardous one, requiring the expenditure of a great deal of energy. He closed with a glowing eulogy of John Mitchell. The subjects of the weighing of coil, condition of the union, and the status of non-union men were all exhaustively handled by Mr. McCarthy. Mr McCarthy spoke for three hours. He was followed by Henry Demarest Lloyd, of Chicago. Mr. Lloyd made an elaborate argument for the trade be tween employer and employes, citing the conditions prevailing in the bitumnious field, where a new scale of wages had just been agreed upon. Continuing, Mr. Lloyd said: “There has been no mine strike of any importance since these relations of ne gotiations and arbitration were estab lished. where the arrangement prevailed hut there have been very serious strikes elsewhere. “The trade agreement need not and does not interfere with the employment of non-union men. The mine workers of America have never gone on a strike against the employment of non union men. The easiest objection of all to meet is that a monopoly of labor would he created by recognizing the union. There can ho no monopoly if non union men as well as union men are allowed to work side by side. Your award, by fix ing the terms of employment, will re move the special cause of anger and enmity. It is not the non union man, the unionist fears, hut Ihe ‘scab the breaker of trade \vho lives by getting odd jobs of industrial assassination at high wages and loafs between whiles on the ory that it is better to have loafed and lost, than never to have loafed at all. “The trade agreement has put, an end to sympathetic strikes, ami has created in their place the novel institution of sympathetic arbitration. V hen the masters in both make contracts with other capitalists they insist on full no tice, representation, consideration, and they never dream of being allowed to manage more than their side of the bar gain. They will insist on all this for themselves, face about and make ar rangements with the miner in which they refuse him every right, of negotia tion or representation they claim for themselves. “The strike of last summer was the Waterloo of capitalistic absolutism in this country. Organized labor never did civilization a greater service than when it whipped this master to a finish and settled, let it be hoped, for the third and last time in America, that the only busi ness in which there is one master is slavery, and thitt in free business th *re are as many masters as there are part ies.” During Mr. Lloyd's argument, Chairman Gray Interrupted him with this question: “What have you to say regarding the non union men who prefer to continue at work through the strike, in the cx ercisp of the right that they suppose they have, those who are not strike breakers and do not loaf between times. “Os course, in doing that,’ Mr. Lloyd replied, “They are strictly within their legal rights, but to me they seem to violate a moral duty of the highest Banctity, which is that a man must do what he can to help along a necessary struggle for the elevation of his own class and of society at large. “Are such men protected by ihe union?” “The union certainly withdraws no legal protection from them.” Mr. Lloyd. “They are not protected by the union from being visited wth the obloquy which properly falls upon a man who not joined in a common effort for the common good. I should class this man precisely with the loyalists in the Amer ican revolution. I characterize tic strike as an industrial war, as an in cident in a great uprising." In reply the chairman said: “In our theory there is on, y one war ' making power and that is the great union represented by the government of sot icty, end they tolerate no wars —strictly wax?— inside of their influence or sphere. V. e may, for the sake of rhetoric or analogy speak of a war, but there can be no war tolerated, in the proper sense, within any peaceful community, governed by law. Mr. Lloyd: “There would be no ne cessity even for the pictoral use of the word war if society would only organize this sphere of conflict so that proper methods of settlement could be reached. The world in which strikes occur which are called wars, is a world which society at large has so far refused to organize except in the case of New Zealand. I apprehend that one of the greatest results to be hoped for from this commission is that you will push forward one step fur ther the evolution of the development of some organic authority in that conflict.” M:r. Lloyd was followed by former Con gressman Charles M. Brumm, who occu pied the time up to the adjournment. II is argument was principally in sup port of the demand for the 'recognition of the union. Mr. Brumm was directing many of his remarks at Mr. Baer, who was sitting close to hita. The Reading’s president gave him close attention and when Mr. Brumm in an oratorical flight said that Mr. Baer denied at the elev enth hour that he had ever said twenty cne murders were committed in the coal regions—that he did not deny it until the statement was permitted to go over the country and receive full effect. Mr. Baer jumped up and exclaimed: “Wasn’t it a lie? Did I ever say it?” The suddenness of the interruption evi dently did not disturb Mr. fJrumm, who replied: “One moment: I will answer that.” Mr. Baer was not satisfied and he said with great earnestness: “You said T did not deny it until the eleventh hour. What do you mean?” “I said you did not deny it until quite recently.” To this Mr- Baer replied: “Oh.” “If you had. waited,” said Mr. Brumm “you would not have asked that ques tion.” “What is it you want to make out—that. I did say it?” persisted Mr. Baer- Mr. Brumm: “No, 1 said you did not say it.” ‘‘That's different,” remarked Mr. Baer, as Chairman Cray rapped for order and requested M. Brumm to proceed with his argument. Mr. Brumm, however, took a parting shot and retorted to Mr. Baer’s reiiarks: “I do criticise you, however, for not de nying at the time what appeared in the newspapers.” DEATHS BY THE SEA. Woodns Kellum Walks Out of Fire Company Into Law (Special to News and Observer.) Wilmington, N. C., Feb. o.—Mrs. Miry Emeline Owens, mother of Mrs. W. H. Stokley, of Wrightsvitle Sound, died Sat urday and the funeral was conducted yes terday afternoon from Grace Methodist church, in the presence of a large con course of friends. On Saturday Mrs. W. A. Snell, wife of the well known steam boat master, passed away at her home in this city. It is believed now that there is a bare possibility that the First Baptist church of this city will be able to retain Dr. Blackwell as its pastor. Last night a meeting of the executive committee was held, lasting until 11 o’clock, and Dr. Blackwell, after much persuasion, told the mooting that, he would not withdraw his resignation then, but would take a week to consider the withdrawal and would give an answer next S'undlay night. At the meeting last night a pe tition was presented to Dr. Blackwell from 184 Atlantic ('oast Line clerks of all denominations, asking that he re main in the city. The Wrightsville turnpike, which was recently purchased by the county of New Hanover at a cost of $7,000 and made a free thoroughfare, instead of a toll road as heretofore, will be macadamized over the present shell surface and will be one of the finest causeways of the South. The county convict squad will be used in the work.

Francis Sutorius, Fred Schwartz, and Gertrude Anderson were arraigned here today charged with swindling the Trust Company of the Republic. Grebe, Su torius and Miss Anderson were arrested in Richmond, Va. Schwartz and Grebe were employed as assistance clerkss by the Trust Company and the charge is that they marked “O. K.” checks presented by Sutorius and Miss Anderson, the creeks being, it is alleged, for .sums con siderably in excess of the deposits by the presentors. Miss Anderson made a partial confes sion, admitting that she had presented at the bank various checks for small amounts, signed with fictitious names, which were paid after Schwartz had marked them correct- The three prison ers were held for further examination on Friday.

TO EASE THE TRUST P£lN. Morgan Eofers to the ‘‘Mush Poultice” Repub licans are Preparing for the People. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—The State hood Bill again came up in the Senate today and Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, spoke for th c Omnibus measure. In the course of his remarks he referred to the trusts action, on which he said, have been kept back and will be kept back until it is too late for discussion re garding them. The time of the Senate was being wasted on account of what he termed “a peaceful political blockade on the Statehood Bill, when more im portant measures were awaiting action. The world knew, he said, that that trust bill was no more than “a mush poultice” to be put on the people to alle viate pain. The object was not to defeat the admission of thc territories as States, but something else lies behind it, for which there is no excuse. The Rawlins’ resolution regarding court martial cases In the Philippines was referred to the Committee on Phil ippines by a yea and nay vote of 26 to 23.

THE UNION ATTACKED Counsel for Non-Union Men and Coal Barons Deliver Keen Ihrusts. (By the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Pa-, Feb. 10.—The United Mine Workers of America, as an organi zation was severely scored today by counsel before the anthracite Coal Strike Commission. The non-union men through their attorney, John T. Lenahan. present ed their side of the controversy, demand ed consideration of the commission, claim ing the legal right to earn a livlihood as they might elect without the consent or dictation of thc union- During his pre sentation of the case Mr. Lenahan de nounced the union as a formenter of crime and archy. Mr. Lenahan in his argument, present ed three propositions. He submitted that the commission must find the nUited Mine Workers responsible for the viol ence and other unlawful acts which de prived thc non-union miners of their law ful right to work: that all authorities agree that the law guarantees to every one the right to work, where, when and for whom he pleases, and that ncthing could justify a finding by the commis sion that non-union miners must deal with their employes through the medium of the union, or be subject in the slight est degree to the control or dictation of the union. James H. Torrey. counsel for the Del aware and Hudson Company, claimed that the question of recognition of the union was not an issue before the com mission but he devoted considerable time to the consideration of that demand. He asserted that violence and intimidation were agencies selected for the promo tion of the purposes of the mine work ers. Regarding the demand for an eight hour working day Mr. Torrey said the evidence showed that for various reas ons the breakers did not average more than eight hours a day. so that the phy sical exertions of long hours were not felt. Major Everett Warren, counsel for the Hillside Coal and Iron Company and the Pennsylvania Coal Company answered the demands of the miners in detail, and declared the socialistic theories of the union, or seme of its leaders to be re sponsible for unreasonable claims. Major Warren asserted that the com panies have proved accidents of the most part to be the result of the miners’ care lessness, and that the occupation of a miner is comparatively healthy. Re garding Mr. Mitchell's claim that wage.; in the anthracite mines were insufficient to maintain the American standard of living, Major Warren said: “Fortunately for all of us, that has been interpreted by Mr. Mitchell, and he has given us the benefit of his opin ion that S6OO a year would permit, the mine-workers to live in a manner com fortable to American standards. The The average earnings of the contract miner for the year 1901 in the employ of the companies rcprelsent are approxi mately $650.” BISHOP IS ARRAIGNED.

For the benefit of suffering humanity, I desire to state that I suffered severely with Muscular and Sciatic Rheumatism for five years. During this time I tried a variety of so-called remedies, as well as the prescriptions of several physicians which afforded me very little if any relief. The pain in my back, hps and legs was agonizing and almost unbearable. I could hardly walk, and thought I would be obliged to abandon my business. A friend of mine advised me to try URICSOL, which I did reluctantly, and greatly to my surprise, one bottle cured me sound and well. I cheerfully recom mend it to all who suffer as I did- It is also a very fine tonic. It increases the appetite, aids digestion, and finally builds up the general health. You can use this as you think best. Very truly, W. B. DeLOACIT, 311 Auburn Ave., Atlanta, Ga. November 6th, 1902. Druggists sell it at SIOO per bottle.

A DRUMMER'S STORY. Tii« commercial traveller has long en joyed a reputation for cheerfulness and pleasant disposition. As a class, ‘drum mers arc, seemingly, the most light hearted and happy people in the world. But very often their jolity is merely good acting and back of their funny stories is acute physical pain. Eating all sorts of iood at all sorts cf times in all sorts of placis quickly puts a man’s stomach and o.thc r digestive orgars out of shape and brings on indigestion and dyspepsia. The wise drummer carries a bottle of Tyner s Dyspepsia Remedy in his grip and takes a dose after, each meal. It relieves indigestion almost instantly and, if taken as directed, permanently cures lyspepsia in its worst forms. Mr. R. F. White, of Greenville, S. C., a well known and popular drummer, says: “I suffered every day from indigestion for years. I could find nothing that would relieve me only for a short time.
