The signatures of all the members of the insurgent general staff are attached to the document'. The new outbreak is headed by the famous Macedonian leaders, General Zontcheff, President of the Macedonian Committee, and Colonel JankofT. who was wounded in the rising of 1902. The new territory covers the district in the vnlley of the Struma, at the'base Df the Rhodope Mountain chain, and to the north of the River Vardar. Colonel Jankoff is directing the movement of the insurgents in the southern pari. News of severe fighting is still coming in.

The Turks Uave also massacred me maabitants of the village of Velesi. It is reported that Hilmi Pasha, the Inspector General for Macedonia, fears to leave his headquarters in the Konak at Monastir. The Insurgent leader, Grueff. in a letter to Hilmi Pasha, demanded that he prevent the barbarous acts of the Turkish soldiers and BasliiBazouks, otherwise the revolutionaries would massacre all the Turkish inhabitants. The insurgents have occupied the mountain pass of Gergele, on the main line from Salonica to Uskub, and Turkish troops have been sent to dislodge them. The town of Malkoternovo is reported to be in a state of anarchy, the Turks plundering the houses and committing unspeakable atrocities on the women.

That Will Retire When Not Actuallj Needed?In a Speech on "The Buslnesi Outlook" Says Mo Would Give the National Banks More Scope. UUicago.?At the Auditorium, oeiore several hundred business men of Chicago and other cities. Secretary of Treasury Shaw spoke on "The Busi uess Outlook." The meeting was under the auspices of the National Association of Merchants and Travelers. Secretary Shaw 3poke in part as follows: "As nearly as can be estimated, the innual productive capacity of the imerican people is $11,000,000,000. I'his does not include duplications, rbis does not include raw cotton and Manufactured cotton: but raw cotton *nd the value added thereto in the >rocess of manufacture. "Of this we export $1,300,000,000. ind import $1,000,OUU.OOO of other merchandise, mainly non-competitive with >ur own products. Wo therefore consume the equivalent of ninety-five per :ent. of all we produce. Not while :hese conditions continue will prosperty cease. "We are the most prosperous people n the world, because we both produce xnd consume more than others. The little that we sell abroad, about ten per cent of our net production, and the ittle we purchase abroad, six or seven ier cent, of our net consumption, constitute no challenge to the statement that our prosperity rests with ourselves. "Unless our factories and workshops voluntarily close, or labor voluntarily refuses employment, or commerce voljntarily ceases its activity, tliere is no >ccasion for alarm. "It is true that a very respectable number of very good people, and in that number I desire to be classed, believe our financial system, good as it is. might be improved by adding an jlement of elasticity. I do not think there exists any great number who believe we should have any inflation. "Eight years ago we had $21 per capita. Now wo have certainly more than 529, and probably nearly $30 per capita. Conservative business men and conservative bankers do not generally consider this an insufficient normal minimum volume of currency. I repeat, the only criticism now offered reates to the want of elasticity. "There is now no statutory prohibi;ion against the well-nigh inherent "ight of banks to issue circulating lotes. This right exists throughout the United States, nut suuject to a tax 01 :en per cent, per annum. This tax is prohibitory. "If I were given authority to formulate a measure that would provide the requisite elasticity to our present currency system I think I should add an amendment permitting national banks, ;vith the consent of ths Controller of :he Currency, to issue a volume of cirnilating notes equal to fifty per cent. >f their bond secured circulation, at a lax of five per cent., the same to be retired at will or by the direction of the Controller, by the deposit of an equnl imount of lawful money with any Subrreasury. "Three things I know. First, this ldditional circulation would spring into existence almost instantly whenever ind wherever interest rates advanced to the point of profit. Second, it would is promptly retire whenever interest rates became normal. Third, it would be absolutely safe?as good as the present national bank issue and with a 3light and immaterial change identical in form and appearance?for the Government. amply protected by the five per cent. tax. would underwrite it. But you say this is emergency cur reucy. Anytuing more is mnauuu. $560,000 IN SECURITIES CONE. Baltimore Society Mad Who Managed Ills Father's Estate Also Missing. Baltimore, Md.?William T. Tucker, or Willy Tucker, as he is kuown familiarly in society, is missing. It has also been discovered that $300,000 of his father's estate has disappeared. Tucker, it is said, is now in Central America. With his mother, W. T. Tucker was trustee of the estate of his father, the late Wesley A. Tucker. His mother was abroad with one of her daughters when other members of the family made discoveries which resulted in a hasty cable message to Mrs. Tucker to return. The arrival of Mrs. Tucker in Baltimore was followed by an investigation of the contents of the safe deposit box in wl^ch the securities of W. A. Tucker's estate and also securities belonging to Mrs. Tucker were kept. Then, the revelatiou canfe that there was a defalcation amounting to $500.000, and that, of all the property given over to the care of William T. Tucker there was only .$03,000 left. It appears that Mrs. Tucker had absolute faith in her son and refused to credit stories that reflected upon his conduct. W. T. Tucker is said to have been speculating heavily in stocks and was a high roller generally. The abscoudei is about thirty-five years old. Bomb Wreck* French Grocer'a Shop.

I He Wanted to Marry Miss Alice Roose volt?Adjudged Insane and Sent to an Asylum. I Oyster Bay, L. I.?Henry Weilbren nor was arrested at Sagamore Hill Iatt at night while making a persistent de mand to see President Roosevelt. The man was armed with a revolver, fullj lnnripil. Ho was taken to the villacf and placed in the town prison. Shortly after 10 o'clock p. m. Weil brenner drove to Sagamore Hill in a buggy. He was stopped by the Secret Service operative on duty. Weilbren ner said he had a personal engagement with the President and desired to se( him. As it was long after the hours when visitors are received, the officer declined to permit him to go to the house. The man insisted, but the of fleer turned him away. In a short time Weilbrenner returned and again insisted that he be allowed to see the President, if only for a minute. This time he was ordered away and warned not to return. Just before 11 o'clock the man returned a third time and demanded of the officer that he should be permitted to see the President at once. The officer's response was to take the man from his buggy and put him in the stables, where he was placed under the guard of two stablemen. -A revolver was found in the buggy. Later Weilbrenner was brought to the village and locked up. He is five feet eight inches in height, twentyeight years old, has a medium-sized dark mustache, black eyes, and evidently is of German descent. He resides in Syosset, about five miles inland from Oyster Bay. He was well dressed in a suit of dark material and wore an old-fashioned derby hat. He is the son of a truck farmer and is one of three brothers. He has two sisters. The family is respectable and is held in general esteem. Weilbrenner several year3 ago had a nervous attack which rendered him mentally helpless for a day or two, but his family supposed that he had been juite restored by the medical treatment be received at that time. SLuce then he had manifested no symptoms of mental aberration. He had no socialistic or anarchistic tendencies so far as known, never having been interested in any questions of that kind. He was employed daily on his father's farm. Wellbrenner was arraigned before Justice Franklin on complaint of the Secret Service operatives who piaceu him under arrest. Weilbrenner's brother, William, was present at the examination. Justice Franklin questioned the prisoner about his movements during the night. His replies were made in a quiet tone of voice, but they indicated, apparently beyond doubi, that the man is crazy. Asked why he went to Sagamore Hill he replied: '*1 wont to see the President about his daughter Alice." "Had you an engagement with the President?" "Yes." "How was that engagement made?" "I talked with the President last night," replied Weilbrenner. "How did you talk with him?" "Oh. I just talked." "A sort of wireless talk, was it?" "Yes, that is it: a wireless talk." "Why did you want to see the President about Miss Alice?" "I wanted to marry her." "Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt?" "Yes, I saw her night before last." "Where did you see her?" "At my house." "Did she go over there?" "Yes, she came in a red automobile." "Who accompanied her?" "Her brother, Theodore." Justice Franklin, after the examination. concluded that he would hold Weilbrenner until an inquiry of lunacy could be held upon his case. The examination then was postponed until the afternoon. When it was reopened at 3.30 o clock Dr. George A. Stewart and Dr. Irving S. Barnes conducted the examination of the prisoner. Weilbrenner was declared by them to be Insane. He will be placed immediately in the custody of Sheriff Johnson, of Nassau County. His committal to a sanitarium will have to be made by the County Court. Weilbrenner was taken to Mineola, L. I., and placed in the custody of the eounty authorities. GOVERNMENT CAINS CASH. More Money in the Treasury Than at ThU Time in 1902. Washington. D.
