KING PROROGUES HIS PARLIAMENT. Premier Balfour Refers in the House of Commons to the Macedonian Situation—Winston Church ill Styles Premier Bal four a Demagogue. London, August 14.—Both houses of parliament assembled today to wind up business of the session. In the house of commons several ques tions were asked relating tornatters of in ternational Interest. Premier Balfour in a general reply said there had been an un expected delay In the Ventzuelan question, which, however, was not due to Great Britain or Germany, who had taken part in the action, but to the fact that France and Spain objected to the use of the English language by the tribunal. The question had been left to the tribunal to decide. He believed that the court whose members the chair had been requested to nominate would meet on the date original ly fixed. , The Macedonian Situation. Regarding the complaints that the gov ernment was showing a lack of sympathy with Macedonia. Mr. Balfour pointed out that one of the deep sources of mischief was the dissensions among the Christians Now not the Turk alone, deep as his guilt undoubtedly was. was responsible for the miserable conditions, it would be folly to forget that the Christians committed atrocities on Christians. The government was still of the opinion that the best policy was to support the Austro-Russian endeavors to Improve the administration. Ideating with the protests against puz zling the house on the fiscal controversy, the premier said he thought there was no necessity for undue hurry in discussing the matter There was no pending fiscal ques tion before parliament, nor would there be one during the currency of the present pa rliament. With a final fling from Winston Churchill, who seemed doubtful whether the present parliament would meet again and who characterized the premiers policy of transferring the fiscal discussion from parliament to the country as that of a demagogue, the sitting was suspended. The King's Speech. Subsequently the house was summoned to the house of lords to hear the king's speech proroguing parliament, read. The speech was of little general, or in ternational interest. It alluded to the cor diality of the king's reception in Portugal, Italy and France and to the return visit of President Loubct, “whose visit has given rise to a striking exhibition of the feelings of mutual good will which prevail In the two countries.” The most Interesting portion of the speech to America deals with Ireland, it says: “The warm expressions of good will with which I was received deeply touched me. My visit enabled me to realize how much was being attempted to improve the housing accommodations of the work ing population, stimulate commercial ac tivity, advance the methods of agricul ture, develop technical education and provide for the sick and Infirm. Much re mains to te done, but it was with feel- I Ings of the deepest gratification that I i noticed signs of increasing concord among [ all classes in Ireland, presaging, as 1 I hope, a new era of united efforts for the ; general we’fare. The Irish Land Bill. “Referring to the Irish land bill, the rpeech says it offers Inducements to the land owners to continue their residence among their countrymen and provides j facilities for improving the conditions of life in the poorer districts of the west. It adds: “This reform, by removing the ancient crises .>f social dissension, will. I heartl -1 trusi, conduce to the common b-no- , tit of all’ my Irish subjects." i Refcrenc Is made In the speech to the ; g. mral anxiety regarding the situation in I t..- European provinces of rurkey, to t ’ great progress made in the work of r s. ttlernen-t and pacification in South : i ea and the improvement In the con ditions of agriculture and finance in In- After the rending of the king's speech, parliament was prorogued till N->vem- ' her 2. Doubt About the Future. There has probably never been a proro gation of parliament which for the future of the government was so uncertain as la the. case on this occasoon. Many believe there will be a dissolution In the autumn I though the best Information does not I support this belief. Mr. Balfour’s speech - at Sheffield at the end of September is | waited with the keenest interest, as it ; will contain a pronouncement of policy , which possibly will force either the duke ; of Devonshire, a pronoum 1 free trader, or Colonial Seeretarv Chamberlain, to re- j s gn . The members of parliament will curtail their holidays, the free food ~-aguers in order to open :he sis al cam paign as speedily as possible, and the fol lowers of Mr. Chamberlain to repel the attack.

MAILED LETTER IN MID OCEAN. It Was in a Bottle and Has Reached Destination. Minneapolis, Minn, August 14—H. D. McMillan, of this city, has just received a letter from his daughter. Emily D. Mc- Millan, which was mailed thirty-one days ago in mid-Atlantlc by means of a bottle, in which It was inclosed and set afloat. The postmark shows that the bottle was picked tip and taken to a coast town of Portugal. A similar experiment was made by other passengers on the Princess Irene, which sailed from New York July 4.

He Says the Authorities Made No Effort To Check the Murderers. Massacre Outcome of a Con spiracy To Kill All the Jews. London, August 12.—A dispatch from the British consul general at Odessa for warding the report made by the British vice consul at Odessa, V. Bosanquet, who was sent specially to Kishlnef to obtain the facts regarding the recent antl- Jewish riots there, is published today. Mr. Bosanquet’s report, which is dated July 28, generally agrees with the stories of the occurrences already cabled. It says: “The area of the disturbances com prised two-thirds of the town of Klshl nef. The murders all occurred Monday, the second da«y of the disturbances. They were perpetrated by bands of rioters In different parts of the town. Many be lieve they were the work of organized companies, which fact argues in favor of a pre-arranged conspiracy to exterminate the Jews. If this belief Is not accepted, the riots must be attributed to the arti cles in The Bessarabetz, the anti-Semitic organ in Kishlnef, to the unfounded re port of the Jewish murder of a Christian priest,to the wine drunk early on Monday and to the belief which seems to have grown with the continued inaction of the authorities that the latter wisher the Jews to be massacred or had even or dered it. Apparently a feeling existed among me lower classes that the Jews ought not to be a majority in Kishlnef. Rioters Not Checked. “The local authorities took no effective step to stop the riots. The soldiers were passive if not sympathetic spectators. The police contented themselves with the arrest of minor criminals until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the governor, who had remained at home, telephoning orders which were disregarded, at. length ventured to sign the necessary order for the troops to be employed. The only ease I heard of in which the latter used their weapons was when they bayonetted a t hristian boy who was pursuing a Jew with stones. This boy was the only Christian killed during the dlsturba nces. I If resolute action had been taken by the authorities I believe the riots would have been checked at an early stage." Mr. Bosanquet places the Jewish vic tims at forty-one killed and 303 wounded while among the Christians one was kill ed and sixty-eight wounded, official In quiries he says, show that three women were violated, but this may well repre sent a small fraction of the actual num ber, since the Jewish women naturally remain silent for their own sakes, as un der the Mosaic law divorce must follow violation. The vice consul heard of the rape of a girl 12 years old and another aged 13, but this was only hearsay. Mu tilation and deliberate torture of the vic- 1 tints, ho says, does not seem to have been practiced. One Case of Mutilation. Though there were undoubtedly great barbarities, he only knows of one case of I mutilation, when a man's eye was put I out with a nail. He heard stories of mu- ! tilatlon after death and of a child being * torn limb from limb, but ho considers tl>« i that onty e-X n oiV& ,>l <9ftT<iren appear to , have perished. Mr. Bosanquet pays a tribute to Prince ■ Urusoff, the new governor of Bessarabia, who, he says, helped him with every , means in his power. “On the arrival of the new governor, who is doing all he can to gain the confidence of the Jewish ' population,” adds the vice consul, “mat- j tors began to improve, and the commer- , rial life of the town was resumed. A i new comer visiting the Jewish quarters can see no signs of a stoppage, of busi ness and it is hoped that Jewish commer cial affairs are on a fairway to regain their prosperity, though they have not yet entirely recovered. The Jews place their losses at two million roubles, but this figure is probably an exaggeration. “About 880 rioters were arrested and 308 per punished on minor charges, while Tfi were acquitted. Three hundred and sixty rioters will be tried at Tiraspol, in October, of which number 100 are charged with murder in addition to other crimes. Ts they are found guilty they will be sentenced to penal servitude on the Island of Sakhalin.” Only two weeks remain of the first period of the Port Receipts Contest. ' A prize of S2OO is offered for the best estimate received for the first period. NEGROES FLEEING IN TEXAS. . Whitesboro Will Soon Be Without a Colored Resident. Whitesboro.

Kans., August 13.—Angered by the music of a band concert, Gilbert I Twigg, once a soldier In the Philippines, j armed himself tonight with a double-bar- ' rel shotgun and a revolver and attacked a crowd of 3,000 persons that surrounded the band stand, killing three men, prob ably fatally wounding three others and ; injuring twenty more before he wa s shot [ by a policeman. Beside Twigg, the dead are: Sterling Rice, Dawson Tillotson and D. Bowman. The band had just finished playing "Hiawatha” when Twigg came up and fired both barrels of Ins shotgun at the band stand. R. E. Oliver, a musician, fell with his back and arms full of shot. The crowd surged toward Tigg, and he, having released his piece, fired two charges into the audience. Men and wom en fell to the ground in pain, crushing children beneath them. Those who were not injured scattered in every direction, but one, knocking many others to the I ground. This panic allowed Twigg to reload and fire several shots at the fleeing men and women. Twigg was a miller and the men about town referred to him as "Crazy Twigg,” but no one thought him dangerous. He I lived in New Mexico for some time before he enlisted. _ Earthquake Felt in Missouri.

MO2ND/i' AUGUST 17, 1903. PIUS X FAINTS WHILE SAYING MASS Eor a Time He Seemed To Be Chok ing, but Revived on the Appli cation of Restoratives. What Doctors Say of His Condition. Rome. August 11.—Just a week has elapsed since the election of Pius X, and he has already been overcome by the unaccustomed strain of his pontiticial du ties. He fainted this morning while at mass. His collapse is considered to be due to heartweakness, aggravated by fa tigue. It constitutes the first victory of his entourage which has insisted that he should take the Change from his pre vious life less strenuously. Even though he disappoint some people, they urge him not to concede audiences to all comers and to render himself less accessible. Dr. Lapponi supported this view and recom mended the pope to take a complete rest. The doctor has ordered ail audiences post poned. The pope had already’ given the com munion to 200 people, when he began to feel ill. Those about him soon perceived that he was not himself, by his nervous ness and Impatience, which showed Itself when his attendant handed him his spec tacles. He pushed them aside and drew another pair from his pocket. When an other attendant tried to tie the ribbons i of his robes behind, he told him to stop and did it himself, a most unusual occur rence with him. The consternation of the Venetians when they saw him faint was great, and they rendered matters worse by crowding around him. Mgr. Blseltl. however, kept his presence of mind and ordered the Swiss guard to clear a space about the pontiff. Smelling salts were brought hastily and had the desired ef fect. Seemed To Be Choking. When able to speak again the pope asked for a few drops of water, which were given him and water was sprinkled on his face. His gown was opened at the neck as he semed to be choking. He re fused resolutely, hoxvever, to be carried to his apartment, saying that he was suf ficiently strong to walk. He then pro ceeded slowly, surrounded By his anxious entourage, his head bent almost on his shoulder and so pale that the flesh was scarcely distinguishable from his robes. The neck of his gwfli still refnalned open. Dr. Davenzfa, speaking about the pope. : said: “If they wish our Plus not to succumb, i the Vatican authorities must change their , system. They must not oblige him to i follow the habits of Pope Leo. The pres- I ent pontiff needs especially plenty of I fresh air. He must not be shut up in a box in a vitiated atmosphere.” The pope retired earlier than usual, say ing that he felt quite recovered. His Inti mates, however, say that he Is much changed since ills election and seems to have grown years older. His sisters at Venice were much alarmed over the news | of his Indisposition and have deckled to come to Rome to attend to him. Leo’s Millions Are Discovered. Rome, August 13.—The pope is quite well , today. He took a long drive and walk in | the Vatican gardens and then received the i Austrian ambassador, who presented his , credentials. C’.acinno. the ni.’lor d"mo, no Mocennl. opened the apartment or pope Leo this afternoon, breaking the seals put on at the time of the pontiff's death. They found a considerable amount of money, it is stated, several millions of francs, be sides other valuables. Cardinal Creston!, prefect of the congre gation of sacred rights, was not present, having left Rome on account of Illness. The pope was again photographed to day in the gardens. He afterwards re ceived Cardinal Satolli, who inquired re garding the appointment of a nev. secre tary of state in succession to cardinal Rampolla, and again suggested \ incenzo , Vannuttelli as the best fitted for the po I sition. Cardinal Satolli then proposed the i appointment of Father Edward lowler. secretary to the Rev. J. J. H.irty, as a , domestic prelate to the pontiff, which , post carries with it the title of monsignor | Th. pope granted the request and a brie, making th.- appointment was issued Im "V'ardinal Gibbons will come to Rome Friday to assist at the consecration on Saturday of. the Rev J. J. Harts as arch- i bishop of Manila, which is to be perform ed bv Cardinal Satolli. m the Franciscan j church Os St. Anthony. On Sunday the . pope will ree.-iv. the new archbishop and Father Fowl -r In private audience. The i former will receive the pallium from Car - dinal Mae.'hi on Monday and will leave Rome the same night. The pope this afternoon received the | ministers of Peru, I Uruguay and Argen i tlna. Who presented their credential.- and 1 greetings from the governments on the I occasion of his election. Cardinals Rampolla and Moeenni after a summary visit to pope Leos apartment, decided to begin tomorrow taking an in ■ ventory of all it contains. FORTUNE IS LEFT TO LEO. Cardinal Rampolla Claims the Prop erty Now Belongs to the Church. Naples, Italy, August 14 - A parish priest named Milone willed his whole fortune of JSO.OOO to the reigning pontiff when Leo XIII was at the point of death. The priest has since died and his family now set up the claim that the will Is Invalid. Cardinal Rampolla, as papal secretary of state, has directed a local attorney to represent him, claiming | that th“ priest collected the money tn 1 virtue of his office, and that It should go to the church, and that Leo XIII, I being the sovereign pontiff at the time, 1 could be represented in the action by h's secretary of state. The trial of the action occurred today and the judge reserved his decision. If your estimate In the contest, re ceived during the first period, should not take any other prize, and yet be the nearest we received for that pe riod, the S2OO special prize will be paid you regardless of how far you may have missed the exact figure.

MISS DE CRTS’CHARGES FOUND TO BE UNTRUE Prison Commission, Upon Investigation, Permits Deputy Warden Ailagood to Resign and Leave the Farm—Whipping Was Authorized by Statute, but Was Lack of Judg ment on Allagood’s Part. Deputy Warden Ailagood has tendered his resignation as official in charge of the prison farm at Milledgeville, and that resignation has been accepted by the prison commission. This resignation comes, of course, as the result of the whipping of Mamie De Crls. Ailagood will remain at the prison farm only jmtil his successor can be se lected. The official announcement of the resig nation Is found In the report of the com mission upon the Do CTls case, This report a calm, dispassionate review of the case, taken from the testi mony submitted by all those having knowledge of the affair, as taken by State W ardeni Moore upon hj£ investiga tion at the farm, and the conclusions of the commission from this testimony. From this It would appear that Alla good has been an excellent official, that his personal character is above reproach, that he acted within his authority In Inflicting this sort of punishment upon any convict; but read between the lines, it Is evident the commission is of the opinion that he lacks the judgment and discretion which an official in his position should possess, and that with the De Crls whipping, hi§ days of usefulness at the farm have come to an end. I he last paragraph of the commission's report will be taken ns an Indication of the purpose of that body to issue such orders or rules as will make a repeti tion of tlie De Crls scandal an Impossi bility. Nq successor to Deputy Warden Alla good has as yet beep chosen. Several applications have been filed with the commission in anticipation of a vacancy, but no selection will bo made until the qualifications of the different applicants and those others who may be suggest ed, have been fully examined into. the full text of the commission's find ings is as follows: Atlanta Ga.. August 15, 1903.—1 n re, Mamie DeCris, Investigation of Her Whipping: After a thorough, patient and dispassionate review of the testimony, pub.icly taken by State Warden J. C. Moore and reported by t\r stenographer employed for that purpose, of every wit ness who professed to know any fact connected therewith, or who was thought to be able to throw any light upon the above stated matter, the prison comnils sion has reached the following conclu sions: 1. The conduct of the convict, which led up to, and was the cause of the pun ishment, was aggravated, tending to seri ously impair th.- discipline of the prison. Her previous treatment bv the deputy warden, an i his wife, the matron in charge, had been considerate, manifested In many ways, and so noted as to arouse the envy oi almost every inmate of the prison. Her clothes were better made and laundered with those of the matron and her family; she ate from the ma tron's kitchen and was supplied with delicacies which were not furnished tlie. and ’light* l,o • str ' ,,l Ker physic xct. dcsp t.- t),;s considerate treatment, she negh.-i ,-d the tasks assigned her was .requ. ally insolent and insubordin- I ate, earrnd on clandestine correspondence without th knowledge ![of the officials; I hei i--if v. iote obscene and vulgar letters, win- i sin- pretended had been found by her -a or.f r to involve the gno d standing of anoi 1.. r conx let, whose position in the ti h-spii.'U she- wris seeking to secure Foi thes.- matters she was admonished, but i ■ no punishment. Finally, In the al r. a. ot ill,; warden, and when’ no guard «.:s present, she openly defied the matron, -'-fused to obey t„. r orders, used to lier ir. ilting language, ami became so bolster and threatening in her de portni nt.us to attract the attention of priso, r.-in other parts of the building, causing te matron to leave the room in fear m billy harm 2. T •idence shows that the whip ping, w h was administered by th” warder, i the following day, for" these causes <s over her clothing, ami that no part her person was exposed. The blows maer cut n< r blistered her skin nor did s ex er complain of any sorem-ss or otherll consequences to the wfiTfe i femaie evict who shared her room and , xvas her lly companion In prison work Nor did is other convict ever see any signs of i whipping upon her person The fi'-work which was afterwards given h. :as such as many honest white women a girls perform every day on the farnof Georgia, and she admits 1 that she is permitted to rest .is often ■ and as 1; as she pleased.

In no respect was her health in.d or even endangered by this work. o Ihe srlntendent, who at this place is tlm akego of the commission, and who had icrity, in the absence of the commisslo act for ft, testified that he condemned whipping, after learning of it, a protested against the field work, bufther his condemnation nor his protests communicated to the commissic 4.

Not a | single witness of the many suggested by her. to prove or substantiate her charge, corroborate her In any particular, but sev eral who were called and sworn, at her j instance, disproved the very acts to which , she testified. Her reputed dissolute life l previous to her conviction of larceny and I forgery and her well-known proclivity f«r j manufacturing sensational fictions, Inde | pendent of other facts, would alone dls ! credit the charge. On the contrary, the I warden had established a high character for honor, truth and morality, which he I had maintained, under every condition, as a private citizen and a public officer, for more, than fifty years, which Is proven by many of the best <!I^ r «fens of the com munity in which he has lived. He has been warden of this prison and his wife the matron for four years, during which time ho has been efficient and demonstrat ed his character for morality and humani ty. By his considerate treatment of and kindness to the convicts under his con trol he has won their respect, confidence and esteem. This unfounded and malicious charge plainly Indicates the dangerous character of the convict with whom he was dealing and the extreme measures to which she would resort In order to accomplish her nefarious designs, and well illustrates the agravatlon which led up to her punish ment. Could the commissioners have foreseen that the punishment as given would have probably occurred, even under the circum stances which caused it, they would have prevented if, for it. was largely at their direction that such consideration had been previously shown this particular convict, but when it Is remembered that the statutes of Georgia in express words au thorize the infliction of this punishment upon convicts, and that the commission had had no occasion heretofore to make a rule against it, they can only conclude that this particular punishment was an error upon the part of the excellent warden, who. recognizing that his use fulness may have been impaired as such, by reason of the prejudice which has been created against him. by grogs mis representations of the facts of the case, has voluntarily tendered h’s resignation, and he desires to have no further connec tion with flic prison as soon as his suc cessor can be appointed.

Last night there was a mutiny at the women’s building at the state prison farm. About 75 negro women while at supper began to show a spirit of law lessness. The guard could do little with them. One of the women jumped up and said; “There will be no more whipping here.” The same spirit of lawlessness was manirested this morning, so much so that Captain Foster felt it necessary to go over to the different squads and tell them very plainly that there was n<> change in the laws and unless they went on with the work In the usual way they would not only get whipped, but get more of it.
