LONDON, Oct. E10.-Salisbury spoke
in the national conservative confer
ence at Newport today. He thank
ed the conservatives union for expos
ing the true nature of the gaudy
promises and seductive programme of
the liberals. The premier urged his
hearers to continue their efforts in be-
half of the conservatives, which he
said was growing and had glorious
future. Salisbury then proceed to
enumerate the policy of the conserv-
ative party. In referring to the DIS
turbances in Balkan, he said it is
no part of the duty of the British
statesmen TO interfere in the affairs
of Eastern Roumelia. The treaty of
Berlin has not been frustrated nor has
the San Stefano treaty been retired.
The policy of the government is to
uphold the Turkish empire, and
wherever it is possible to do so, to
generally and heartily to uphold,

CARDINAL M'CLOSKEY DYING.
The Aged PreIate Very Low, and
Calmly Sinking into the Final sleep.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9,-The following
bulletin was issued from Cardinal
McCloskey's residence today by the
clergy in charge:
His Eminence, the Cardinal, has had, for over
two days, a change in his condition which rem
ders him very weak and apparently in great dan
ger of death, so much so that it was considered
prudent to administer to him the last sacrament.
The Rev. Thomas G.. Preston, Chan
cellor and Vicar General of the do
cese, administered the last rites to His
Eminence. In conversation with
reporter this morning, Father Preston
said "The Cardinal was a little bit
brighter to-day, and while very low
and weak, was quite cheerful. His
condition, however leaves US little
hope. His advanced years and the
disease from which ne has been suffer
ing for some time past, together with
a severe cold recently contracted by
him, have had tendency TO hasten
his end. He has lived long life of
usefulness and his reputation as an
eccelesiastic is world wide. Of course
in the event of his death the office of
Cardinal will not be vacant long, be-
cause his grace, the Archbishop Corri-
CAD, is coadjutor bishop with the right
of succession, and he wouad become
archbishop Immediately, without the
necessity of confirmation by the au
thorities at Rome. A circular has
been issued by the cathedral function
aries to all the churches in the diocese
asking of the prayers of the faithful
for his eminence. While there is life
there is hope, and we can only await
Gods will"
DIR. E. L. Reyes, the cardinals
physician, was seen to-day. He said:
/ have not seen his erninepce this
morning, but I cannot hold out any
hope of his rallying. His disese has
no name, being more the gradual fail.
ing of his powers from extreme old
age than anything else. He may

MORE RESERVES,
CONsTANTINOPLE, Oct 10. The war
like attitude of Servia has compelled
the porte to call out more reserves for
service on tho frontiers. The Turkish
ministry believes that the Servian
troops will cross the frontier although
certain of defeat. in order to raise the
question as to Servia's rights. The

bassadors here that a Servian revolu-
ton would lead to agitations in Mon
tenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
that Austria and Russia would event
ually be drawn into the conflict.
The Bulgarian delegates, Petrof
ana Tchanakoff, who were commits
stoned by Prince Alexander to assure
the porte that peace and order reigned
in eastern Roumelia, arrived at the

mediate]y arrested and were subjected
to an official examination. The affair
has caused a sensation. 1t Is stated

liam conference. He denies that the
article in the Berlin treaty, giving
Turkey the right to send troops to
eastern Roumella, be abolished in the
event of union of the two Bulgarias.

they declare that the law of congress

are now enforcing, ''was not enacted
in the interest of morality, but aimed
directly against religious liberty and
for purposes of persecution. If these
