RESIGNS FROM CABINET Lard Balfour and Financial Secretary Elliott JWLNER TO SUCCEED CHAMBERLAIN. Tat Latter Not a Member of Ike Cabinet, bat ft Faraer Secretary from Scotland Now four Vacaat British Cabinet Oltlce to Be Fillea Tbe Duke of Dcvoashlre Will Like ly Resale. London (By Cable). Lord Balfour rf Burleigh, Secretary for Scotland, and Arthur Ralph Douglas Elliot, Fi nancial Secretary to the Treasury, have resigned ami their resignations have lxn accepted ! the King. Mr. Elliot was not in the Cabinet. These two resignations make a total cl lour vacant Cabinet posts and one secretaryship at Premier Balfour's dis position. With the latest resignations, both men being strong free-traders, it is understood that the ministerial resig nations are completed, and apparently the Duke of Devonshire has decided to remain in the Cabinet. It is practi cally certain that Austin Chamberlain, Lord Milner and Mr. Broderick will lake the Exchequer, Colonics and In dia portfolios, respectively, and the only surprise in the new appointments is likely to be the nomination of a strong man to the War Office to determine how far the recommendations of the South African War Commission can te carried out. Home Secretary Akcrs- Uouglas started (or Halmoral tonight and he will probably be involved in the tabinent reconstruction.

GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN MEDICINE Prcpalslions Are Now Bclnf Made for Ex permeots In Connection With Diseases, and Several New Theories Have Been Ad vanced and Will Be Tested' In the Near Future 17,000 Specimens ol Mineral Usee. New York (Special). Working in experiments together, Mr. George F. Kunz, honorary curator of the Ameri can Museum of Natural History, and Dr. Charles Baskcrvillc, of the University of North Carolina, believe they have made a valuable discovery in connection with the mysterious substance known as rad ium. 1 his discovery is that by mixing radium with natural willemite, pulver ized to a powder, the activity or power of the former substance is multiplied a hundredfold and probably as no instru ment has been devised for measuring the increase of activity a thousandfold That at least is the temporary affect of the mixing of the two substances. Time will tell whether one will nullify the other. Willemite is a comparatively cheap silicate of zinc. It is possible also that there is in wille mite a substance which is as vet 1111 recognized as a distinct element, but which produces the radio-activity that has awakened the enthusiasm of the two experimenters. It is the assertion of Dr. Kunz that radium without the interposition of glas is much more highly active. It is possible that it is these rays which cause the glass tubes in which radium ordinarily is contained to turn to a purplish hue. Fused rock-crystal vials have been made by Tiffany lapi daries, under instructions from Dr. Kunz. and he has discovered that radium placed in these vials loses much less of its activity than when it is placed in a glass vial. 'Preparations are now being made for experiments in connection with diseases, and several new theories have been ad vanced and will be tested in the near future. The plans are practically com plete for testing the effect of radium on skin diseases, including growths of a cancerous nature. In the experiments that have been car ried on in this city recently more than 17,000 specimens of mineral have been used. In a photographer's dark room Dr. Kunz showed a reporter a glass tube of radium of 300,000 power activity which glowed like an incandescent pencil. By its side was placed a small vial of fused rock crystal in which was placed a small quantity of the same radium. Imme diately the radiance of the glass tube paled into comparative insignifiance, the rock crystal vial burning like a point of living fire. Dr. Kunz next displayed a quantity of radium so weak that only the faintest glow from it was perceptible. Dr. Kunz mixed with it a quantity of pulverized willemite. Immediately there was a glow that filled the entire room, though in a faint manner. fHAl.SE HE WOULD NOT MARRY. Rusiel Sherrlll, Accused ol Wronging; Girl, Shot Down. Charlotte, N. C. (Special).

THE POPULATION WAS OVER 10,000. While Bulf aria Is Proceed in( With Mobllln - tlon Sbe Cannot Hope, Under Present Coc dltlons, lor Aid From the Other Powers of Europe Murder In a Monastery by Turks, Sofia, Bulgaria (By Cable). The Foreign Office here has received relia ble information that the Turks have destroyed the town of Kastoria, 36 miles south of Monastir, and have mas sacred the population. The report comes from sources ad mitting of little doubt, though the de tails are lacking. It was received with the gravest concern by the offi cials here. The population of Kas toria numbered about 10.000 persons, and the massacre of such a number in one place, if report be true, exceeds anything which has yet occurred in Macedonia. At the present critical moment, when popular feeling is intense, the effect of the report of such stupendous slaughter may be nio?t serious. The press is assuming a bellicose tone. The Dncvnik complains that the Government's partial mobilization of three divisions is utterly inadequate, and urges the immediate mobilization of the whole Bulgarian army, pointing out that the experience of other na tions France, Austria and the United States has proved that it is always necessary to display strength when dealing with Turkey. The paper advises the Government to act now "at a favorable moment, when the people of Europe are evidencing encouragement to Bulgaria." The Government, while steadilv pro ceeding with the partial mobilization plans, is trying to avoid unnecessarily exciting the people, and, consequently, has resolved not to mobilize any part of the Sofia garrison. The War Office has recalled the Bul garian officers who were studying in the military schools of Russia. F'rance. Austria and Italy. The German representative here has addressed a note to the Bulgarian Government in accord with the declar ations of Russia and Austria, saying that Bulgaria cannot expect assistance from any power in the event of war with Turkey, and that the Austro-Rus-sian reform plan will be applied. 1 ne Austrian representative, in in sisting on the necessity for Bulgaria remaining calm, declared that if the principality was powerless, to prevent the passage of insurgent bands into Macedonia, Austria and Russia would tije note of her powcrlcssness and charge Turkey to exercise her rights, defend her territory against foreign in cursions and maintain order in the in terior. Dispatches from Uskub announce that since the calling out of the Turk ish reserves the situation in the vilayet has grown worse. The Austrian and Russian consuls are reported to have asked their Ambassadors at Constan tinople to demand that the Porte dis band the reserves or maintain disci pline among them. Since the reserves were mustered pillaging and furdcrs have been reported daily. The consuls arc powerless. The Turkish authorities receive their complaints and appoint investigating commissions, which never convict. Reports from Monastir of the burn ing of villages and the massacre of their inhabitants continue. The Au tonomy publishes the names of 30 vil lages in the vilayet of Monastir which were recently destrpyed by regular troops and bashi-bazouks, and also an nounces that the Monastery of the Holy of Holies, near Okhridc, has been destroyed. At the monastery Turkish soldiers killed an entire fam ily, the Bulgarian priest, his children and his grandchildren 35 persons in all. THEY MUST RESPECT OUR RIGHTS. The United States Government Enters a Vigorous Protest. San Domingo (Special). United States Minister Powell has sent a strong protest to the Dominican gov ernment based on the following grounds: "That the action of the Dominican government in sending to Congress a project for establishing the neutrality of Dominican waters and making cer tain ports free -would, in view of the fact that Santo Domingo is a neigh boring state, not be accepted in a friendly spirit by the government of the United States. "That the United States government would not allow the establishment of any coaling ports in Santo Domingo or the cession of any portion of Santo Dominga territory to any European power. "That the United States will not per mit any nation to make exclusive use of Dominican waters in time of peace, much less in time of war. Nor could the United States allow any portion of Dominican territory to be classed "as neutral, nor permit any section of the country to conflict with the concession granted to the Clyde Line, according to which all vessels arriving from for eign ports are compelled to pay port dues, excepting the Clyde steamers." The American protest has excited considerable comment. Minister Pow ell, it is pointed out, seems to be de terinicd to have the rights of Ameri cans respected by the government of Dominica. Trolley Cars Col Id:. Philadelphia (Special). A dozen pas sengers were injured in a collision of trolley cars on one of the suburban lines. The cars, some distance apart, were descending a steep hill, when the rear car became unmanageable and dashed down the declivity, crashing into the forward car.

Ill health is thought to have prompted the deed. STORM CAUSES ENORMOUS LOSSES. Apartment Houses Are Unroofed by the Fury ol tbe Storm. Atlantic City, N. J. (Special). A cy clonic gale of wind and rain beat down over the resort for four hours, rocking the big buildings to their foundations and creating apprehension for the rafc ty of some of the hotels and apartment hottscs. Frightened visitors at the resort were fearful of a catastrophe, as the wind reached the tremendous velocity of over seventy miles an hour. The crash of breaking windows along the ocean front, which caught the full force of the hurricane, was constant, while the intensity of the gale lasted. A half dozen hotels were unroofed and 500 tenants in two of the big apart ment houses were driven panic-stricken from their rooms at 7 o'clock through the havoc wrought to the buildings b the fury of the gale. The boardwalk is littered rind Mock. cd with the debris of wrecked pavilions, and few hotels or stores escaped with out the loss of plate -lass windows 01 other damage. The tclcgranh and telenhone linr leading out oi the city are down, and the fact that the city was cut off from connection with the outidc world started wild rumors that the great re sort had been entirely swept away The first train in from Philadelphia air1 other points brought down excited rel atives and friends who were anxious after the welfare of their loved ones, and who found them well and happy and telling stories about the freaks of the storm. The damage is surprisingly small considering the record the cya'ont made of being more Solent than the great storm of iKJo, when hundreds ol thousands of dollar were lost. The aggregate loss will exceed $50,000, but will not be over $75,000. In view of the danger accompanying the unroofing of buildings, falling 'signs and flying tim bers, the injuries to persons were lim ited to half a dozen, none of whom was seriously hurt. The hurricane came from the north ca?t and veered before it slopped tc the southweft. It began before day break and woke the city with its wild fury. So great was the velocity of the wind that the government measuring apparatus proved inadequate. When it had registered a velocity of nixty-twc miles an hour the cups, which form s part of the apparatus, were carriec" away. Sailors and old residents who ar accustomed to measure the force of th winter gales w!-.ich sometimes sweej the coast, declare that the velocity wa not less than seventy miles an'hou: when it was blowing 'the hardest, anc not during the three hours that tin storm raged did the velocity fall be!o sixty miles. Not one of the big beach front ho tels escaped the fury of the storm When the storm first broke a portior of the cornice of the Hotel Dunlof was torn off and fell to the Boardwalk breaking ncarlv every glass on the sea ward side of the hotel in its fall. Th big plate glass in the exchange of thi hotel was also demolished completely letting the torrents of rain sweep through the front portion of the house ruining carpets, pictures and furniture valued at $5000. The Hotel Windsor, which narrowlj escaped destruction during the big fire of last year, was badly damaged b the falling of several chimneys which crashed through the roof to sleepinu, rooms below. Fortunately, all wlic have been in that portion of the house had gone to lower stories and no one was injured. Considerable damage wai done by rain, which soaked the furni ture.
