rhS Porte Making Preparations FOR war.
A Gloomy Outlook.
CoSsrASr1SoPLE, Oct. 1.-THE Porte is
awaiting the final reply of the Powers be-
for taking decisive action. A portion of
the cabinet recommends the recognition
OF the Bulgarian Union; others are OF the
opinion Greece and sarvia will remain
tranquil if the Union is not recognized.
The military party viewing the silence of
the Powers say they are uragreed as to
what course to pursue and urge Bulgaria
be invaded that the great Balkans be oc-
cupied that the Bulgarian town of Wild
den be given to servia in order to weaken
Bulgaria and cnnciliate Servia. The Sui
tan hesitates between these divergent
counsels, leaning rather to a policy of con-
citation. Meanwhile the military prepara-
tiouB are unabatad.
Krupp has been urged to hasten the de-
livery OF guns, payment for which has
been guaranteed. Everything indicates
an early invasion OF Bulgaria. In leading
Turkish circles the opinion is expressed
that the mSiority Of the Powers are in
clined to refuse to recognize the Bulgarian
uniou, as they consider that course would
be least dangerous to the European peace.
The Marquis de Novilles, the French
Ambassador, and Herr Won Roadowitz,
the German Ambassador, express aston
ishment that the Turkish government did
not send troops to eastern Roumelia Mt the
beginning OF the trouble. Other foreign
ministers are less outspOken.

NEw YORK, Oct. l4-A large number Of
cIergymen Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church left for Garrisons, on the Hudson,

evangelical methods of the Methodist
church with the personal self-deuill Of the

have been made by Rsv. W 81. Aitken, OF
London, and nine other English clergy
men, who have been industrious In the
same field in their own country.

CINCINNATI; oit. I4.-The counting Of
the returns CT yesterdays election is in
chaotic state. In Precinct F of the Nine
teenth ward when the count had proceed
ed so far last night PSI u1scratched DEM
ocratic tickets and 5G unscratched Republic
can tickets had been counted, the
Judges stopped their work ard it
has not yet been resumed. In Precinct
D the box has not cen opened since the
polls closed, because one nf the Judges
holding the key can not be found. There
are 30 votes in this box according to the
dial. These two precincts and one in the
country are missing ftom tables, from
which it appears that Foraker Raa q ma
jority OF 597 in Hamilton county. The
country precinct, which ts missing, last
year gave a Republican majority of u.
The total vote in Precinct E, Nineteenth
Ward, is 454.
From these data Republicans claim
Foraker carries the county. Feturns on
the legislative ticket are not nearly 50
complete, but it appears that it run ahead
Of Foraker at the rate Of two to precinct.
This would make the legislative vote
about 400 greatsE thaa Foraker. There
is no possibility ola complete report from
Hamilton county tonight, anil indeed,
nothing can safely be predicted ou this
county until the official count is made.
The fact that in one precinct the judges
found more than 200 votes in excess Of
the whole number Of registered voters,
coupled With irregularities with reference
to the two precincts above mentioned, has
caused a deep feeling Of indignation. ibis
found expression this afternoon at ths
meeting Of the Committee Of One Hundred
composed of proninent Puainess men Of all
parties. Action was taken looking to q
prompt and fearless prosecution ct al
offenders. Al men begged the COMMITTEES
to omit nothing that should be done fol

necessary, to punish and prevent frauds
