December 1000, Barrett sent to each
company an announcement that he
had resigned his position and entered
Into a partnership for the practice tit
law at Baltimore and Washington.
The purpose of the conspiracy is al-
leged to be the sending of business
to Barrett's firm and as the opln'on
gave no instructions to the proper way
of making over the contracts, but
showed that Barrett knew how it was
to be done, in pursuance of this con-
spiracy, It Is alleged that Tyner and
Barrett refused to consider or approve
new contracts submitted prior to tha
time Barrett retired, except for the
one or two concerns that had already
retained his services.

In which Barrett, while stil. In office,

tion. Failing this, Bulgaria was warn-
ed that she will be exposed to the most
cruel disaster. This letter of warning
is held to mean a Turkish invasion of
Bulgaria and a repetition of the Mace-
donian atrocities In Bulgaria itself.
The foregoing, combined with the con-
fined reports of small frontier con-
flicts, has renewed the war rumors and
Induced the feeling that the situation
is precarious.
Sofia, Oct. 5.—The Austro-Russian
note to the porte, published yesterday,
has been received somewhat skeptical-
ly In official circles here, and among
the Macedonian organizations with
utter disbelief that any good can
come from it. One point on which
all parties are agreed id that action
there was no agreement between them
that there could be no inspection of
the forms supplied by the company;
that on account of this agreement tho
forms were printed on inferior paper;
that only one side of them was lith-
ographed. while the contract called for
the lithographing of both sides, and
that by other devices the company
was enabled to save large sums of
money at tho expense of the govern-
ment. While it is not so stated In the
indictment, it Is asserted by the post-
office authorities that the government
lost at least $50,000 in this year by this
arrangement. It is also asserted that

Immediate
feeling of temporary security on the eve

due to assurances on the part of the Jap-
anese that so long as the negotiations now
proceeding between her and Russia pre-
sent a reasonable prospect that will be
reached. Japan will take no action against
Russia regarding Manchuria. It is fur-
ther learned, that these negotiations, look-

Russia's failure to evacuate Manchuria,

Episcopal convocation for the "Twin Ter-
ritories" held Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of last week at Muskogee. Bev.
Nicholas said yesterday that the convoca-
tion was largel attended and made many
changes that will be of interest He said:
"It was decided that after this the con-
vocation shall be held in the spring, and
that the convocation will meet under the
new rule for the flrsi time on the third
Tuesday In May at the ascension church
in Pawnee.
"The following resolution was adopted
In regard to the changing of the name
of the church: 'Inasmuch as the general
convocation has asked for an expression
from the various diocese and missionary
jurisdictions In regard to the subject of
changing the name of the church; there-
ffore be it resolved that it is the convic-
tion of the ton vocation that a change of
name not desirable.' "
Rev. Nicholas was the secretary of the
convocation and was elected delegate to
the national convocation at Boston. In

passed on.
Nothing was seen of the man until yes-

Elliott appeared near the entrance to
the church and made an effort to spe.ik
to the president but he was foiled In his
endeavor by the secret service officers At
that time the man manifested no symp-
toms of Insanity nnd quietly left the vlel-
nltv of the church when ordered to do
so by the officers. About 10 o'clock this
morning he appeared at the executive of-
fices Entering the vestibule he inquired
for President Roosevelt. One of the door-
keepers asked him why he wanted to

"Oh. just for fun." he responded. "The
president sent for me and 1 Just went to

Elliott was told to return next month
He smiled and walked away not offering
the slightest objection to the rebuff which
he had received. His appearance attract-
