’A DASH PROM ADRIANOPLE The Balkan allies at Salonica. are displaying a fine crop of petty jealoueies. The Bulgarians who followed the Greeks into that city wired to King Ferdinand that the city was now under his rule, thereâ€" by stirring in the beasts of the Greeks a feeling that due credit had not been given to them. “After several battles the woun- ded were left; lying on the bare fields where they had fallen for two or three hot days and bitterly cold nights, and the worst; sights in the hospitals are the rows ofpoor fel- low: with swollen and gangrened limbs, for whom there is no hope of_x_'eoovoty." " Turks Lost Six Guns and Left Thousands of Dead ‘ 0n the Field. A A despatch from Sofia says : Near- ly one thousand Bulgarian reserv- ists from the United States. arrived here on Saturday. Their enthusi- asm was dampened by the'an- nouncement that. they would very probably not be permitted to go to the front. Some of them have al- ready started for their homes in the provinces. Twelve hundred Turkish 'priaoners have been brought here. A despatch from Sofia. says: King Ferdinand has decided not to enter Constantinople if he takes the Tchataldja lines, because of a fear that a. massacre of Christians will occur before he can secure full con- trol of the city and feel sure of keeping order. Fear of a cholera plague aided him in this decision. Ferdinand's Government favors his decision. M. Natchov‘itch, Bulgar- ian Foreign Minister, in an inter- view with the correspondent of the Neue Freie Presse, said that Bul- garia wants Constantinople and Salonica made free cities, and that the Bulgarian army will halt before the gates of Constantinople and leave the fate of the Turkish ca.- pitjl to; the powers. A despatch from London says: From the accounts of correspon- dents on the Bulgarian side, their wounded are in just as bad oondi~ tion as the Turks. One correspon- dent in describing the poor ambu- lance service of the Bulgarians, whose wounded are driven for miles in jolting oxen carts, says this is not the' worst part of their sufferings. He continues :â€" It is stated that negotiations are proceeding at Adrianople with a, View to saving needless waste of life. The Turks have been told that the town will otherwise be taken by bombardment or assault unless it is surrendered. The terms will be dis- cussed for a day or so. In the cap- ture of Marash and its works a few days ago the Turks left three thou- sand dead upon the field, but suc- ceeded in carrying most of their wounded into the town, which must now be in a. {rightfully insanitary condition and in privation. The streets from Mustapha Pasha. to the front are being regularly cleansed and repaired, under Bulgarian di- rection, by the peasants. The Bulgarians are now ,within field-gun range of many parts of the town. Their military engineers have adopted an admirable system of constructing and placing their siege works. These are so many aelf-encloeed independent camps, pltwed so as to command the ap- proaches to the city as well as the exits. They can, in attack or de- fence, oo-operate with the neigh- boring camps behind and all around the enclosing circuits of the besieg- ers' work. These camps are almost impossible nuts to crack in any sally. There are lines of barbed wire everywhere. The morale of the besieging troops is splendid. Tra- velllers in vehicles are coming from Jildrim towards the Bulgarian camps on the southwest. z A despebch kom London says: Bennett; Blurleigh, in a series of de- spatehes to The London Daily Tele- graph from Mustapha Pasha, de- scribes the ” progress of evenus around Adrianople. In a. sally on Saturday morning the Turks lost six guns, which were captured by the Bulgarians, and also left many thousands of dead on fiche field. The enemy tried to break towards the southeast, hoping to escape by ra- pid marching along unfrequented routes towards Tchatalja. The Turks seem incapable of realizing their truly desperate straits, and that the battle power has gone from their hands. V 'og;r§spondwt adds that Wounded Left to Die. A Massacre is Feared. Arrived Too Late. A Constantinople despatch to the Cologne Gazette declares that Bulâ€" garia has abandoned her intentions to enter Constantinople, being thus advised by Russia and Great Bri- tain. Altogether, although the re- port that an armistice already has been arranged has not been conâ€" firmed, all indications point in that direction, and it may be supposed that the terrible conditions of fam- ine and d-estitution prevailing among the refugees in the neighbor- hood of Constantinople, which are calculated to provide a hotbed for the spread of cholera, may have had something to do with Bulgaria’s de- cision. . Fireman Fatally Hurt and Engineer Critically Injured. A despatch from Hamilton says: Two men were injured, one fatally and the other critically, and several persons were shaken up early on Friday, when the engine of G.T.R. train No. 11, an aecommodation running between Niagara Falls and Windsor, exploded at the “Y” near the Desjardins Canal. The victims were :-â€"â€"George E. Cook, engineer, Niagara Falls, Ont.y aged 55 years, badly scalded about the breast, face and hands, lacerated about the shoulders, and suffered from shock, will probably recover; Samuel Sault, fireman, Niagara Falls, N. Y.. aged 38‘ right leg crushed, had to be amputated at the knee; skull fractured; terribly scalded about the upper portion of the body. Taken to City Hospital, where he died at 1.30 in the afternoon. $35;000 Damage Done by Fire in ‘ Hat Works at London. A despatch from London, 01113., says : Fire that is said to have start- ed in rubbith about the heating plant at the Wright Hat Company's warehouse in Ridout Street Satur- day afternoon caused damage esti- mated at about $35,000. Between $20,000 and $25,000 of this was to the heavy millinery stock, while the remainder waste the plant and equipment. Insurancé was carried to the extent of about half oi the total loss. » Constantinople still waits her fate in the calm of despair. So far, in spite of alarmist reports, there has been no great disorder there. . Murderous Fighting. A despatch from Bulgarian head- quarters says: After four days’ murderous fighting, the Bulgarian army has succeeded in breaking through the Turkish position it Tchatalja, in the centre of the lines and completely rolling up the Turk- ish defence. The Bulgaria‘m ad- vance is being pushed forward with the greatest energy with the view of forcing the Turkish troops away from Constantinople. It is doubtful if King Ferdinand will risk the lives of any more of his men by marching them into a. plague-stricken city, and there is a report that already many oi the Bulgarian troops have been strick‘ en with cholera, which they caught in positions from which they had routed the diseased Turks. / A despatch from London says: Cholera at Tchataldja and Constan- tinople is doing more than all the men under Nazim Pasha to stop the march of the Bulgars. Eye-Witness- es tell of horrible scenes in the be- leaguered forts, where hundreds of bodies of victims of the disease are piledrinto shallow trenches. A despatch from Athens says: Six thousand women and children, 25 men and two priests have been massacred in the neighborhood of Janina. by 750 men of the Turkish infantry and 300 Bashiâ€"Bazouks, yvho pillaged and set fire to the vil- A despatch from Athens says: It is announced that 35,000 Turks were engaged in the battle against. the Greeks at Yenidje. They had 42 heavy guns. The Turkish losses numbered 2,000 killed, 500 made prisoners and 22 guns captured.

TURKISH B-\i i 1;; mm A despatch from Ottawa says: Nine lives are believed to have been lost in the Madawaska River on Tuesday night soon after 7 o’clock, when the old wheel steamâ€" er Mayflower, a small 50-foot boat, capsized and sank three miles out of Barry’s Bay, after springing a leak. Of the twelve people aboard, ten of whom were passengers and two members of the crew, thme passengers, namely, Gordon C. Peverley, J. S. Imlaeh and M. J. Harper, all of Ottawa, and com- mercial travelers, are alive to tell. the story of lthe terrible disaster. They were found by a, search party who rowed out from Barry’s Bay to an island about three miles down the riVer, in a very exhausted con- dition. For Charitable Work Among the Consumptive Poor. Toronto has a modest and unique charity organization known as the Samaritan Club, the members be- ing ladies who have banded together for work among the consumptive poor. The main idea is one which might be adopted in every town and village throughout Canada, while even in the tiniest settlement any Christian woman who feels a call to help less fortunate sisters can constitute herself a Samaritan Club of one, and find effective work to do in her neighborhood. The To-' ronto ladies have formed the fol- lowing oommittees: The Supply Committee, to provide clothing for consumptive and their families. The Nourishment Committee, to pro- vide milk, eggs, and other neces- sities and delicacies for patients at their homes, and soup for weak and hungry patients at the free dispen- sary. The Welfare Committee, for delivering twenty minute talks on the cure and avoidance of consump- NINE PERSONS. DROWNED From the brief story of the dis- aster that'could be obtained from the three survivors, they say that the Mayflower sprang a. leak soon after she left Barry’s Bay. Her hold rapidly filled with water, and those on board quickly realized that death was imminent. There was hardly a, moment to decide on how their lives could be saved. A howl- ing wind was sweeping down over the river, which is nearly a. mile wide at the point where the boat sprang a. leak, and the water was lashing the sides of the illâ€"fated boat with a. vengeance. All around was black. Old Mayflower Springs Leak [n Madawaska River Near Barry’s Bay, and Sinks. ‘ Not a light could be seen any- where. The boat began to lurch a. THE PANAMA CANAL TOLLS A despatch from Washington says: President Taft on Wednesday night issued a proclamation fixing the rates that the foreign shipping of the world shall pay for passage through. the Panama Canal. The proclamation, made under author- ity of the canal act passed by Con- gress in August, establishes a mer- chant vessel rate of $1.20 per net ton of actual carrying capacity, with a reduction of 40 per cent. on ships in ballast. 2. On vessels in ballast without passengers or cargo, 40 per cent. iess than the rate of tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo. Merchant Vessel Rate To Be $l.20 Per‘Net Ton Carrying Capacity. ‘ / The provisions of tion are as follows: 1. ‘On merchant vessels carrying passengers or cargo, $1.20 per 1161; vessel tonâ€"each 100 cubic footâ€"of actual earning capacity. 3.

A despatch from Cornwall says: Oliver Poirier, aged about sixty« two, met a horrible death in the basement of the weave shed of the Canada Mill here on Thursday af- ternoon, when he was in the act of oiling the shafting. His clothing caught in the shafting, and before the speed could be shut off he was dead. Both arms, both legs, his neck and every rib were broken, while his body was a mass of bruises. Poirier was born near Coâ€" teau, Que., and is survived by his mother, his wife, two sisters and two brothers. Mr. E. A.

The wooded shores threw back the echoes of the cries of the drowning souls. The three survivors were able to discern some spars of timber floating near to where they had been hurled into the water. Each tried to cheer the other with words of encouragement, and half perished in water that was clogged with ice. and almost numb- ed to the point of unconsciousness they drifted ashore, but more dead than alive. 4.

Words, they say, could not de« scribe those hours of suffering on the island up to the time they were found. They were too exhausted to walk, or even to get to their feet. Throughout the long, cold night. and terrible, ‘oven colder day, in a blinding snow storm, they waited and prayed that help would some to them. Death seemed in- evitable until at last, when hop! seemed practically gone, they heanfl the quiet swish of oars and the sound of human voices, and from that moment from sheer joy they remembered nothing more until they awoke in a house with kin! faces around them and kind hand! to attend to their wants. * transports, colliers, hospital ships and supply ships, 50 cents per dis« placegent ton. “The Secretary of War will pre- pare‘ and prescribe such rules for the measurement of vessels and such regulations as may be neces- sary and proper to carry this pro- clamation into full force and ef- fect.” American coastwise shipping was exempted from toll payment by Congress. It was to this provision of the act that Great Britain diplo- matically protested, but no refer- ence to the incident is made in the President’s proclamation. MAN HURLED TO DEATH.
