FRESH CABLES FROM BERLIN
Attitude of Herbert Bismarck Toward
the Grand Vizer.
Turkey Fears Austria as Much as She
Does Russia.
Recognition of Prince Ferdinand In.
definitely Postponed.

BERLIN. Nov 9.-Copyright 1889, by
New York Associated Press.-The first
among the present results of the Bismarck
Kalnoky conference and the Kaiser-Sultan
interviews is a suspension of the Austrian
project for the official recognition of the
Bulgarian government. Semi-oficial
reports of the meeting OF
Count Herbert Bismarck and the
grand vizier state that the latter declined to
advise the Sultan to recognize Prince Fer
dinand without material guarantees of
support OF the Dreibund if Russia attacked
Turkey. The grand vizier further de-
clared that Turkey had as much fear from
Austria as from Russia, and she could not
forward the Kalnoky policy unless she OBJ
tanned an equivalent. The attitude of the
porte appears to have confirmed Bismark' S
opposition to intervention in favor of Prince
Ferdinand. Signor Crispi, the Italian
prime minister, approved the Rallnoky
project, but the insistence of the chancellor

which was likely to produce acute agita-
ton in the Balkans. The recognition Of
Prince Ferdinand is therefore indefinitely
postponed. The emperor seems to have
urged the sultan to cultivate an alliance
with England, as linking Turkey to drei-
bund. Exchange of views of the monarchs
is certain to strengthen the influence of
the policy of the porte, though no hard
and fast agreement ensues. The chancel

HAS HIS WAR PAINT ON.
A Cherokee Chief Objects TO Noble s
Instructions.
Boldly Def1es Uncle Sam and His
Authority.
The Commissioners Struck Dumb With
Amusement.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. THE latest advices
from the Cherokee nation, say Chief Mayes'
letter to the commissioners of the United
States has caused much excitement In the
territory. In this letter Chief Mayes. re-
ferring to Secretary Mobiles recent in
structiOns to the commissioners regarding
cattle companies, ETC., the chief takes a
bold stand defying the United States
government, and says in part: The
Cherokees do not recognize the right of
Sec. Noble to interfere with the sacred fright
that has belonged to them since their
purchase and ownership of said lands, and
they will continue to collect revenue for
grazing privilege until Sec'y Noble shall
see fit to deprive them of this revenue by
force, and even then the Cherokees will en-
deavor to protect their rights in the prem
ises In a legitimate way
Referring to Assistant Attorney General
Shields opinion as to the legality of the
sale. ETC., Mayes says: MY conscience and
sense of duty will govern me in this mat
ter, and not the opinion of the attorney
general nor the act of congress creating
your commission, which has no connection
whatever with the matter
ExChief Bushyhead condemns Mayes'
only dangerous but intenable Other OPP
ponents of Mayes say that his letter is a
bid for war and the Indian arrow.
A paper antagonistic to Mayes says in a
double-leaded editorial: 1--WE want no
war either in words or reality. We want
peace but we want our rights and want
them asserted in manly way. We want
no nation blood. There is justice even
for us, other than in implements of war"
Commissioners Fairchild and Wilson
are dumbfounded at the course affairs are
taking. Mayes' letter has been telegraphed
to Washington.

PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
The East Africa Company Arranging to
Protect its Property.

LONDON. Nov. 11.-Since the news ar
rived Of the homeward march of Stanley,
with Emin Pascha and his party, and of
the reported disaster of the expedition,
the British East African company have
been rapidly picking up all of the most
available men to send out to protect It's
territories from raids by the rebellious
natives. Judging from the activity dis
played in securing the best fighting
men. the East African company
must anticipate having to do some heavy
work in order to hold the territory against
the incursions Of Arabs The latest news
from that region indicates all the native
element are up In arms and are for the
moment brethren In a common cause-to
drive out the detested foreigners. This
serious uprising on the part of the natives
is attributed to Capt Wissman's attempt
to increase the sphere of German influence
by exterminating the people.

a Snow Storm Raging for Eight Days in

CLAYTON, n. NJ, Nov 7.-Unless the
snow storm which has been raging for
eight days ends soon, next summer will
show the country covered with the dead
bodies of animals as thickly as was the
old Santa Fe trails in the sixties. The
depth of the snow is now not less than
twenty-six inches ON the level and many
places it is drifted seven feet high.
When the storm struck this section,
seven herds of cattle numbering from
400 to 1000 were being held near this
place, awaiting shipments for eastern
markets. In vain did the half frozen cow
boys try to check the march Of the herds,
but on they went through the increasing
storm, until finding it impossible to head
the cattle, they rode aside and let them
pass and nearly dead rode their exhausted
horses into the canons or partially shelter
ed places where they passed many hours
of misery without food or fire. Five cow
boys and two Mexican shepherders are
known to have been frozen. In the driftswere
found hundreds OF dead stock, many of
them with only head and horns above the
snow. In one drift sixteen were counted,
