Torre Haute, Ind.. Nov. 2S. Two or three accredited representatives of the Greek government are expected at Terre Haute to get evidence, if possible, on which the United States government can be asked to put an end to the work of agents of the Macedonia committee, -which has its headquarters in Eofia, Bulgaria, and whose ostensible object is to convert Macedonia Into Bulgarian territory, although many persons believe it is only a huge financial swindle. Affair May Be International. The arrest of two Bulgarians on a Charge of extortion In demanding money from Greeks in Terre Haute is fast developing into what may be an international affair. The two Bulgarian'? were caught at Danville, 111., where they were making like demands on Bulgarians and Greeks employed on the Indiana Harbor division of the Big lour road. That the arrests attracted attention elsewhere Is shown by the apj-earance of a rich Bulgarian named Stephenson from Granite City, opposite St. Louis, who at once arranged for the defense of the accused. Demand Backed by Threats. Immediately nfter their arrest at Xanville they were anxious to get into conimucieation with a friendly lawyer at Kansas City. Both men had regular credentials as captains in the Bulgarian army. Gustave Kathromerou, who says he is a representative of the Greek legation at Washington, lias put In an appearance. The Bulgarians at Danville and the three under arrest In Terre Haute demanded money, with threats on the life of the person on whom the demand was made or on the lives of Ws kinsmen in Greece or Macedonia through the secret society known as the "Nom Cristi." Prisoners Have Plenty of Cash. The representative of the legation enys that if it is proved money is solicited for the revolutionary movement which seeks to overthrow the protectorate established fix years ago by Greece oer Macedonia the United States government will be asked to aseiTTTSOluihority. The arrested men at Danville and here had plenty of money, each carrying several hundred dollars. The Greeks and Macedonians in Terre Haute have no doubt of the presence- of the Bulgarians as . 'rents of a death society.

Two Cities Fight.
General passenger agents of eastern and western lines are determined to bring about the establishment of a new
trans-continental train service through the St. Louis gateway. It is said to be
a fight for supremacy between Chicago
and St. Louis. Chicago for years has been a recognized gateway between New York and California. Fast limited trains have been run via Chicago to i?an Francisco and via Seattle to Portland. So far as Chicago is concerned of course It must remain a gateway to the northwest, but the movement now indicates that the St. Louis gateway is
at last to be recognized and that the
eastern and western roads are to es
tablish limited train service via this route. An odd coincidence is that the
mileage by the various routes to both San Francisco and Los Angeles from
New York Is practically the same
From New York to San Francisco via Chicago Is 3.4S8 miles via the Santa Fe
and Rock Island 3.4S4.
BLOOD THICKUU THAN WATKH7
Wouldn't Seem So from the Way These Kinsman Lived Without Association. Shelby ville, Ind., Nov. 28. Arthur Frank J Applegate, 23 years old, and his father, William Applegate, have lived within six miles of each other all the young man's life, but their first meeting in many years was last Saturday. When Frank was only a few weeks old his mother died, and the
Infant was consigned to the care of her parents, near Fairland. He grew to manhood with his grandparents, with whom he still lives, while his father remained in this city and never went to see him. Last Saturday Frank came here and met Harvey Applegate. his uncle, who suggested that they call on hi father. In this way the father and s m met for the first time since the lad's infancy. Two brothers of William Applegate have lived within four miles of each other for forty years, but the families have never visited as other families do. They are on good terms, however, and are friendly when tlvy meet.

Chicago, Nov. 28. When Senator
Tillman arrived at Chicago he was
met in almost regal state. A great
crowd, in which were a few negroes, was gathered at the station to see the
man who was expected to denounce the negro race in his speech for the lnent of the Chicago I'nion hospital
in Orchestra hall. Thirty policemen
and numerous plain clothes men were
present. When the senator got off the train there were a few cheers and fewer hisses. He was greeted on alighting by Mrs. Adele Keeler and Mrs. War

which was accepted, to lunch nt tho
club. Tillman did not want a "bodyguard," but the police authorities' thought It best to take no chances. He
said he would speak his mind at the lecture and "took a whack" at Mayor Dunne when he said that where he came from Democrats are white men." He was asked by the management of the hospital to say nothing about the negroes before the lecture as the men at the head of the opposition were talking of stopping the lecture with an injunction.

There were many colored people In the audience. The injunction was not obtained, and the South Carolina senator had a carte blanche to say what he liked. Tillman took his first whack at Mayor Dunne, saying that the mayor's refusal to preside did not snub him (Tillman); it snubbed "these gracious ladies" the patronesses of the lecture.

When prospectors attempted to take in their machinery, he testified, a trench was dug and filled with dynamite and men were instructed to blow up the machinery if an attempt should be made to take it into Uintah county

Spencer testified that the sheriff of

Gives a Talk on the Race Problena and Nothing Klse. "I have been advertised to discuRS the annexation of Cuba," continued
Tillman, "but in view of the fact that
I could not discuss that subject without discussing the race question I am going to go at the matter hammer and tongs, straightforward, like a man.
Therefore I shall discuss the race problem pure and simple. Owing to my experience with the question and the
diligent study I have made of it I be
lieve I am better qualified to discuss
this ouestlon than any other man In
America." While discussingthefifteenth amend
ment of the constitution, which he de
clared gave the negro every right that a white man had, he was interrupted
several times by one of his listeners, who kept asking "How about Kentucky?" Finally Tillman seemed to lose his temper and exclaimed: "Oh, shut your mouth. You don't know the A B C of this thing. I forgot forty years ago more than you ever knew." "If this law was enforced it would
result in two states at least being dominated absolutely by negroes, while four other states would be so near Wing governed by the negro that there would practically be an equal division of officers." A voice "How about the law?" Senator Tillman The law? To hell with such law." After telling In detail how the negro is prevented from casting his ballot in the south Tillman said: "There Is a great deal more to this question than the little racket here in Chicago."

tho farm and road wag-on are a benefit to farmers in many ways. Broad tires lightens the draft by presenting more surface to the road bed.
and they do not sink so easily into soft ground for the same reason. Since heavy loads can be hauled more readily wlth a wide tire wagon than with that having narrow tires the owner of such a conveyance is thus more merciful to his horses. Tests and observations have proved that wide tires are a benefit to country roads while the narrow tires are road destroyers. Wide tires act as rollers, compacting the track, while narrow ones only cut up the roadway and make travel upon It very difficult in bad weather. Wide tires cost but little more than narrow tires, hence there is no good excuse for the use of the latter. Farmers are beginning to see the necessity and economy in using the broad tires
and are slowly discarding wago

Says the Senator Negro Nothing but a Burden Carrier.
