LONG-EXPECTED TROUBLE IN THE BALKANS BREAKS OLTv Turks Repulse Albanians at SHtrovltas, Causing the Attackiiis Force to Lone Heavily. REVOLUTION IS SPREADING AND THE PORTE IS RUSHING 3IOHE TROOPS INTO ALBANIA. Czar of Russia Shovrs Ills Friendship for 3Iontenero by Furnishing Munitions of War. ST. PETERSBURG, March 31.-It Is stated on good authority that after two hours fighting the Turkish troops have repulsed the Albanian attack on MltrovltsaJ The Albanians lost heavily. Turkey has sent a division of troops from the Vilayet of Aldin, Asia Minor, to Albania, The Russian ambassador at Constantinople has been Instructed to protest to the Porte against the insubordination of the Albanians. The consul at Uskub, European Turkey, confirms the reports of the dangerous spread of the revolutionary agitation in the Vilayet of Kossovo. He adds that the revolutionists are spreading the belief that Russia Is aiding the movement. The Russian consul also confirms tho report that a plot to destroy the Turkish military depots at Istlb, Macenia. with dynamite was recently discovered and says the railroad and telegraph lines have been cut and that Bulgarian officers are joining the Insurgent bands. The Inhabitants are compelled to support the insurgents, supply them with money and provisions and transport arms. The consul, however, considers that the movement is artificial and not really approved by the bulk of the population and adds that the revolutionary committees are doing their utmost to incite the Mohammedans to engage in a general annihilation of the Christians with the object of securing the Intervention of the great powers. The bridge of the Turkish Oriental Railway, between Adrianople and Mus tana Pacha, was blown up by an infernal machine early Tuesday.

The news from the Balkans Is causing uneasiness in official circles here. The situation is considered to be graver than a few weeks ago. Two particularly, significant reports were received to-day. The first that the Czar had presented to the Prince of Montenegro eight batteries of quick-firing small-caliber guns with ammunition, and the second that Russia has addressed another warning message to Bulgaria. In his autograph letter to the Prince of Montenegro, the Czar writes that the gift is intended as a proof of Russia's friendship for Montenegro, in whose independence all the Slav people are deeply interested. The Czar's gift recalls his recent present to Servia of 50.000,000 cartridges. With regard to Russia's message to Bulgaria it is said to have been inspired by the unavoidable reports received from the Russian consuls inj Macedonia regarding the attitude of the Christian population toward the Turks, and Is taken as an explanation of the recall of the Daneff Ministry. 31assacred by Itashl-Bazoukn. SOFIA, March 31. The Macedonian committee announces that a revolutionary band of thirty-one men and the inhabitants of the village of Abalitcho, near Istlb, have been massacred by Bashi-Bazouks.

The Turkish losses are reported to have-been even greater than those of the other side. BELGRADE, March 31.

REVENGE OF A CASHIER. Robbed a Bank Because He Was Not Elected a Director. BERLIN, March 31. While the board of directors of Mayence People's Bank was In session a few days ago the cashier, Herrmann, who had been with tho bank for twenty-seven years, entered the room and told them he had taken $70,003 of the bank's funds. The amazed directors, when they wero really convinced that this was true, and that the old employe had not suddenly gone mad, asked him why he had robbed the bank. Herrmann replied: "This is my revenge for not having been elected a director In 1300, as I was promised. I had been preparing this stroke for three years." The cashier added that he was willing to go to the penitentiary for life, as he had "got even by inflicting life pangs on the directors and stockholders by taking the money. The bank's officers, dropping the high tone which they had at first assumed toward Herrmann, begged him to restore the money and retain their esteem. Herrmann slowly yielded so far as to say that if they would give him $6,250 down and a life pension of $900 a year he would return the stolen money. It was daylight when the directors promised to give the cashier $6,250 and a pension. Herrmann then went to the outer office, brought in $70,000, counted out $06,730 and put $6,250 in his pocket. The directors said this was not fair; that he must return all the money and that then he would receive the $6,250 promised to him. Herrmann, however, refused, and the bank has now brought legal proceedings to recover the $6,230. KING JEDWARD SAILS. Leaves Portsmouth for Lisbon Max Visit President Loubet. PORTSMOUTH, March 31. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with King Edward on board, sailed for Lisbon, to-day. Royal Falutes were fired and all warships fired salutes and dressed and manned ships as-the yacht put to sea, escorted by the two warships. PARIS, March 31. A statement was secured from an authoritative quarter to-day to the effect that official negotiations now in progress make it practically certain that King Edward will visit President Loubet, about the only question remaining open being whether the meeting will occur before or after the President's visit to Algeria. If before, the King's visit will take place within the next two weeks, while he is on his way to the Riviera, either at Paris or at a place to be hereafter determined upon, and conveniently near the capital. If tho visit is paid after the President's Algerian voyage it will probably be about May 1 at or near Toulon, the President's returning itinerary being- changed so as to take him near the place where King Edward will sojourn. The King's visit to the Riviera gave rise to reports that a meeting between the President and the King would take place, but the officials had heretofore refused to admit this to be the case and the foregoing- is the first official admission that the plans are actually under way. Considerable significance Is attached to the meeting, owing to the recent movement for a rapprochement between Great Britain and France and the parallel countries, and to be pursued toward Turkey and Morocco. It will be the flrsr meeting between a French President and a British sovereign since the late Queen Victoria was received by the late President Faure on her private car while she was on her way through Paris to the eouth cf Franc

Davis, his son and a half dozen men were on the outlook for the raid and opened fire on the Rangers when they appeared. F. S. Barefoot, in command of the Rangers, led an assault on the cabin, but the fire was so hot they were compelled to retire. Their supply of ammunition ran short, or they would have laid silent. Wrhen the Rangers retired Davis ventured out of the house to fire some parting shots and wras struck by a bullet and fell. Barefoot believes that he was killed. As soon as reinforcements arrive the Rangers will make another effort to break up the band of thieves. NOVEL KANSAS CASE. School Superintendent Must Decide Whether Corn Cobs Are Kindling. TOPEKA, March 31. Are corn cobs kindling within the meaning of the state law? This most Important question has been checked up to State Superintendent Dayhoff for a decision. Under the state school law the contract for the employment of a teacher in a country school binds the School Board to furnish kindling and fuel and binds the teacher to build the fire and keep It going during school hours. Up in Clay county a rural schoolteacher Insisted upon the board furnishing patent kindling. Instead it furnished corn cobs. The teacher refused to build the fire, claiming that corn cobs were not kindling and that she didn't have to comply with her end of the contract unless the board complied with its end. The controversy soon spread and the people of the district took sides. About half of them lined up with the teacher and the other half with the board. For awhile things in that neighborhood took on the appearance of a second edition of the Emporia town row. Finally cool counsel prevailed and both sides agreed to submit the question to the state superintendent of schools and abide by his decision. "This Is indeed a knotty question," said Mr. Dayhoff, "and I am going to take my time in reaching a decision." James 91. Comstock Dead. James M. Comstock, a brother of Horace A.

William Booth, the head and founder of the Salvation Army, who so recently visited this city, is a pronounced vegetarian. In years he has eaten neither fish, flesh nor eggs, even butter or milk, or vegetables cooked in fat, being denied. His diet is solely upon cereals, boiled rice being largely his sustenance. Occasionally he eats rice for breakfast, dinner and supper for days at a time. "General Booth believes in his body," said one of the officers of the arrry recently, "but meats and strong drinks he heartily despises. He will not smoke, because he realizes that he has a nervous system that must be protected. lie will not drink, partly from principle and partly becaue he realizes that for every stimulation there is an equal and consequent reaction. He is a vegetarian not merely because he believes that primitive mankind the Adam and Eve of the Bible were vegetarians, but because after a long practical trial he finds himself far younger than his years, while the mortal parts of most men, who laugh at what they call his crankiness, are like John Brown's body amoldeiing In the grave." - Rales as lie Votes.
