Severe Storm In New York Weekly Trade Review Claim Against the Government Killed In Polo Game. Sir Thomas Llpton III Secretary Chamberlain R'ilgns. Aa a result of the intervention of the British ambassador at Constantinople, the decree of expulsion has not been enforced against the Daily Mail's cor respondent at Monastir, who under date of September 1C telegraphs: "A veritable reign of terror exists here. Suspected Christians vanish utterly, presumably to prison. Spies abound on every baud. The following are some tales of atrocities which I have thoroughly authenticated: "The Turks burned 18 children to death In a baking oven at Pisoder, near Armensko, on September 12. They massacred 200 women and children at Jervan in revenge for a defeat at the hands of the insurgents. "Fifty women and children, return ing from the mountains to their de vastated homes, were murdered by sol diers. Between Septemb r 10 and Sep tember 12 tho Bashl-Bazouks destroy ed four villages near Krushevo, in the presence of the kaimakan (the administrator) of Krushevo in person, massacreing and mutilating the in habitants." Bulgarian Reserves Called Out. Twenty thousand Bulgarian re serves, belonging to three divisions on the Turkish frontier, have been called to the colors. This will give a force of some 10,000 men who will be chiefly employed in strengthening the troops along the frontier. It i3 exported that a week will s u nice to enable the ministry to Judge of the extent to which its final ap peal to the powers is likely to prove successful. More fighting Is reported from the vilayet of Monastlr. A large body of troops sent to the Pollster mountains to disperse the bands concealed there were attacked by the Insurgents and fuffered heavy losses from bombs. Tho Turks also lost many men in a fight near the monastery of Kamlkla at Okrhla. It Is announced that a detachment of Turkish troops which went to the Greek monastery of Bareshani, near Monastlr, to seek a number of revolu tionaries supposed to be hiding in the building, finding none there, set fire to the monastery and. killed the ser vants and tho women. At Konsklglavl, near Posengrad, a body of Turkish Infantry and cavalry, accompanied by a mountain battery, fought a three hours engagement with a number of Insurgents. The Turka had 30 killed and many wounded. Storm In New York and Vicinity. Greater New York and Its environs were visited Wednesday of last week by one of the fiercest wind and rainstorms in years. The day began with 'rain, which' increased as the east wind grew stronger and for two hours about midday the combined fury of the elements wrought damage on land and water amounting to many thousands of dollars. The gale cul minated at noon in a wind velocity of 61 miles an hour. The gauges at tho weather bureau registered 1.30 Inches precipitation in two hours. By the middle of the afternoon the wind had subsided and the sun appeared. Several persons were injured by be ing blown oil fire escapes and wagons and by being force'd against walls by the onslaught of the storm, and two deaths were caused by contact with broken trolley wires. While en route from Oyster Bay to New York on the naval yacht Sylph the president passed through the ttorni, during which the vessel was in imminent danger. The vessel left Oyster Bay In a light rain. Less than an hour after the Sylph had entered Long Island sound she ran into a terrific wind and rainstorm. It increased in rapidity and off Schuyler it developed into a hurri cane, with a velocity of G5 miles an hour. The Sylph, a comparatively small vessel, pitched heavily and oft Wil lets Point listed sharply to starboard. The president and his guests had been forced to go below and beyond a drenching none suffered Inconveni ence. Snowstorm In the Northwest Snow and rain has damaged crops la the Northwest during the past week to tho extent of millions of dollars, ac cording to the St. Paul Dispatch. Nearly all the grain in shock, esti mated at 50 per cent, and all tho stand ing grain, much of it flax, is buried under snow and water. The rainfall ha3 been eight inches In 48 hours. Beginning with the heavy rainstorm Friday night and early Saturday morn ing, there has been an almost con tinuous downpour over Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas and sections of Nebraska. Railroad. are In bad con dition and wrecking and construction crews are out in all directions. Tho heavy rains have flooded rivers. Crops in many sections are ruined. Operations Suspended at the Soo. Pending the outcome of financial diffi culties in which the Consolidated Lake Superior company is now involved. President Shields has issued orders to temporarily close down all of the operations of the company, except the street rail nay system on both sides of tne river, tho ferry syst?m, and the Tagona Light and Power company of the Canadian Soo. This step is taken, it is announced, because the funds of the company are exhausted and Mr. Shields does not want to Incur further liabilities until it is known There the money with which to meet them 13 coming from. Inasmuch as the company's oper ations on the American side are con fined to the street railway and the power house force the order will not materially affect the American Soo. In the Canadian Soo, however, the ef fect on business will be very exten sive. The total number of men thrown out of work is 3,500. Good Average Fall Trade. Conditions still display Irregularity, but except where crop and weather de velopments have been distinctively un favorable, the tendency is still to take a favorable view of the general out look for fall and winter trade. So far the damage done to corn, ex cept In a few sections of the North west, has been a matter more of grad ing than cf quantity, and the same Is true of spring wheat. The outlook for average crops is still a good one. While trade opinion probably in clines to the view that the boom is over in several industries, the belief is maintained that a good average fall and winter trade Is in prospect. Business failures for the week num ber 170, against 105 last week and 182 in the like week in 1902. Claim Against the Government.

They de clare that his condition Is satisfactory and he is not considered in any imme diate danger, giving his friends to un "derstand that the necessity of an op eration while not obviated, is not Im mediate. Shamrocks I and II Sold. Shamrock I and II, the first two boats brought across the water by Sir Thomas Llpton in his unsuccessful attempts to life the America's cup, are practically sold, according to a statement made by John Westwood, secretary to Sir Thomas. "The baronet is loath to part with his newest boat," said Mr. Westwood. "and will not dis pose of Shamrock III." Corporal Yerkes Declared Responsible. The report of the board of officers appointed by the navy department to investigate the recent accident on board the cruiser Olympia at Norfolk, finds that Corporal Yerkes of the mar ine corps, who was killed in the ex plosion of alcohol, was mainly res ponsible for the accident. The court martial of two of the enlisted men has been ordered. Invited to Speak In Chicago.

Bulgaria Less Hopeful of Intervention by the Powers. Sofia, Sept. 22 The unfavorable re plies of Austria and Russia to Bul garia's last note and the fact that none of the other great powers has yet re plied, coupled with the allegations that one of the powers is encouraging the military party at Yildiz Kiosk, tend to create a less hopeful feeling here. Reports are in circulation regarding negotiations between Turkey and Bul garia looking to a solution of the Mace donia difficulty. The Dnevnik says Turkey has pre sented a note to Bulgaria asking for the latter's assistance in reaching a peaceable solution. Bulgaria replied that Turkey must end the massacres, withdraw her frontier forces, guaran tee peace and protection to the vil lagers, amnesty the political offenders r.nd introduce such govermental re forms as will pacify Macedonia and Adrlanople. The Bulgarian reply con cluded: "If the present situation continues the Bulgarian government will bo com pelled to yield to public opinion and send an army to tho frontier." It appears doubtful that the govern ment has sent such an answer. According to information received by the revolutionary headquarters from Monastlr, 120 persons perished In the flames of their burning villages near Kastorla. Over 1,200 bodies of women and children are said to be lying unburied in the fields and on the roadsides around Kastoria. A special dispatch from Rlla gives details of the fighting in Perin.
