Porto linn Formally Applied for Me diation-Fear Great Massacre. Constantinople, Nov. 3-The Porte has applied to the powers for media tion with a view to the cessation of hostilities and for tho negotiation of peace. Application has boen made to the embassies here and by circular to the Ottoman repr?sentatives in the European capitals. The Turkish army ls retreating to the last lino of fortifications outside the capital. This was announced in the first bulletin admitting defeat in the great battle, which the govern ment issued to-night. Constantinople is in a fever of ex citement over the alarming reports from the field of battle. Foreigners and natives alike are suffering from tho tension caused by the series of military disasters, and, although the city is In a state of siege, crime in some quarters ls unchecked. Many families are leaving the city. The people fear, first, an outbreak of moslem fanaticism by the turbu lent elements, the lower classes, and, second, a rising of hordes of madden ed soldiers, who aro being driven by Hie Bulgarians to make their last stand a few miles outside of Con stantinople, and then perhaps to fall back on tho capital. Massacre and Pillage Feared. There is a large and unruly ele ment of the population which would be glad of any pretext for massacre and pillage. The presence of more than 10,000 refugees from the war zone, who have lost all their posses sions, adds to the danger of the sit uation. Rumors aro current that the Young Turks Committee may rtart rioting with the object of overthrow ing the government, but there have been no tangible proofs of such a plan. It is doubtful .whether a ris ing would be directed agaist foreign ers as much as native Christians, but the danger to foreigners is very real. If tho Turkish army sustains com plete defeat the lives and property of thousands of foreigners, as well as native Christians, will be in Immi nent peril. Turkey Awaits Powers' Reply. London, Nov. 4.-The prospect that a considerable portion of the de feated, Turkish, army will ho ohio .to form behind the lines of Tchatalja,' the last fortifications before Constan tinople, is not altogether excluded, but it is doubted whether the Turks will be able to maintain there any serious resistance to the Bulgarian advance. In the struggle with the allies the Turks lost, more than half their artil lery. In fact, the Servians alone claim to have captured no loss than 300 guns. This will certainly mili tate against any prolonged stand at Tchatalja. Nothing from Powers. Up to tho present hour there is no sign that anything bas come of the Porte's appeal to the Powers for me diation. No replies have been receiv ed at Constantinople and there is lit tle doubt that when they are receiv ed they will embody a declination to consider the idea of proposing an armistice. Apparently Bulgaria ls in no mood to negotiate peace now. MEXICAN TOWN WIPED OUT. Severe Hurricane Sweeps AcuIi>oco, on the Pacific, ('oust. San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Nov. ll.-The seaport of Aculpeeo, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, was virtually destroyed by a severe hurricane on Wednesday night, according to wire less dispatches received here. Four fifths of the town was shattered and the American consulato was unroof ed. No lives were lost, but a num ber of natives were Injured. Several small ernfts In the harbor were wrecked, but the United States cruiser Maryland, which was lying there, wns not Injured. Tho United States cruiser Cleveland, which was cruising in the vicinity, did not suf fer. Telegraph communication with Acapulco is Interrupted. Acapulco is the chief port of call for steamers plying between San Francisco and South American ports. The outer bay is unprotected, and ls occasionally swept by fierce cyclones. THINKS IT IS UP TO ROOSEVELT, Schrank Bel loves His Victilm Hears No Malice-Light Sentence. Milwaukee, Nov. 1--Believing that Theodore Roosevelt does not. boar malice towards him, John Schrank, would-be slayer of tin; Colonel, ex pects to escape with a light sentence. Schrank confided these expecta tions to Bernard H. Gottsohalk, who occupies a cell near that of the noto rious prisoner. Gottschalk is a for mer resident of New York. "Theodore Roosevelt, is only hu man, after all," Schrank said, accord ing to Gottschalk. "Ho was shot and has recovered. Now that it is all over and ho has had timo for reflec tion, his bettor self surely has con cluded that I should bo pitied and npt condemned. When McKinley was shot he showed forgiveness. "The entire case rests with Roose velt. I know If he will como hore and speak for mo and adopt a broad view of the matter I will get a light Ben tonco. Hi? word will settle tho whole matter. 1 should think ho would como hero when the case is tried." FOR W Indications this mornin( tt?js United Democracy vfetory in the history o?

New Inlet Saving Station, N. C., ' Nov. 2.-A lono survivor of the crew I of the Now York schooner John Max well, driven on the treacherous Hat teras Shoals during the night, while bound from Norfolk to Savannah, and broken In two by a raging sea, clung tenaciously in the rigging of the wreck when darkness fell to-night whllo life-savers from this and near by stations watched helplessly for an opportunity to rescue him. A Uni ted States battleship from the South ern drill grounds and a revenue cut ter to-night are steaming full speed to reach tho spot in an attempt to savo him. Six lives had already been lost in the wreck, five of the men having disappeared in the huge waves before dawn to-day. The sixth sailor hung onto tho rigging until late this after noon, when, benumbed by cold and exhausted by the lashing of the waves, ho was forced to release his hold and was swept to death in the seas. The lone survivor, through glasses, appeared to he an aged man. An all-day battle was waged by the life-savers, but tho tremendous sea and forty-mile gale made it impossi ble for them to launch their boats. Repeatedly during the day the life savers shot a line over tho Maxwell, but the man in the rigging appar ently was too numbed hy cold, or too exhausted, to attach lt to tho rigging. Failure to get the line fastened so the breeches buoy might be sent out prevented a rescue in this way. The coast guardians again and again tried to put their ll fe-boa ts to sea, but each time were repulsed by thc relentless waves. It was not until afternoon that the idcntly of the vessel became known. A pleeo of wreckage hearing the nanto was washed ashore. Pinier the force of the terrific waves the craft broke in two and is fast going to pieces. She will be a total wreck with her cargo of coal. Capt. Fred Godfrey Saved. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 3.--The sole survivor of tho three-masted schoon er, John Maxwell, wrecked on tho shoals off New Inlet, N. C., is Capt. Predorlck Godfrey. The other men on tho Ill-fated vessel, seven In num ber, are known to have perished. ---^ .-. Chamberlain's j??r%o??0Rm?%r.

Por sev eral days his death bed been expected and life had been sustained largely by stimulants. The cause of death was myocarditis. Por many years Senator Green had been ono of the county's most useful citizens and he held a place in the hearts of every one who knew him that is seldom won hy any man. His death ls a gre. t loss to the county and State. As a Confederate soldier, in the summer of '61, John B.

On more than one occasion presiding Judges declared Sheriff (Deon to be ono of tho most ellicient sheriffs in tho State. Two years ago. by an almost unan imous call, Sheriff (?reen tendered his resignation as sheriff and an nounced his candidacy as State Sen ator. No one thought, of opposing him, and for two years he served the county as Its Senator. His record there was that of a broad and fair minded patriot, desiring and striving lo do that which looked for the bet terment of his county and State. - No Retreat Service Next Sunday.
