typhoid epidemic at Butler. Pa. and its
causes, will report IN tomorrow's issue of
the publication that the epidemic has by
no means attained its elimination. about
30 per cent of the cases not having reached
the critical stage.
The epidemic. which he regards as the
most severe one of typhoid of recent rec

The report says that the water for the
town Is obtained from surface sources and
usually treated by mechanical filtration.

EMPEROR TALKS OF PEACE.
Yet Asks for Money to Make New
Quick-Firing Guns.

VIENNA December 16.-Emperor IRAN
els Joseph today received the Austrian
Hungarian delegations. The speech from
the throne was chiefly notable for its
stronger affirmation of the emperors deter
rnination to maintain the dreibund. BY a
renewal of the triple alliance, he said. this
well-proved basis of our policy whch we
have determined to maintain henceforth,
has been reconstructed for the future.
The speech referred to the death OF POPE
Leo, to the gratifying foreign relations Oh
the dual monarchy and to the close harrno-
ny between Austria ana RUSSIA III testtu
to the Balkans, with the object OF mann
tanning peace and the status quo IN those re-
gions in which we are receiving the ener-
getic support of the other great powers
The emperor also said Austria ana RUSSIA
had no selfish aims in the Balkans ana only
have in view the establishment OF peace,
in the interest of the whole OF Europe 10
which end Austria Hungary was epdeaVor-
ing to induce Turkey to improve the posi-
tion of the Christians and to restrain Bull
garia from encouraging revolt.
After mentioning the visits OF my GEAR
aI1v the German emperor" the Car of
Russia and the King of England, Whlcn
gave the desired opportunity for personal
exchange of views in regard to the Balkans
and all other questions at present engaging
the chancelleries, the speech continued
.'In Seryia a change of dynasty has been
brought about by a crime which must fill
every civilized being with horror. IL IS to
he hoped that this country, under It's new
ruler may be directed toward Its moral
regeneration and prosperous future.
The speech concluded with saying tndt
the war office appropriation would be the
same as last year. and that it only asks for
money to manufacture new qulck-nrihs
guns the work to be commenced IN 1914.

CONSUL WITHIN HIS RIGHTS.
Turkey Will Be Asked for Reparatior
for Alexandretta Affair.

Acting Secretary Adee has taken a firm
stand in the matter Of the alleged assault
upon United States Consul w. r. Davis by
Turkish officials and police at Alexandretta
The information that has reached the de-
partment is to the effect that Mr.. Davis
was acting entirely within his rights and
powers, and that while engaged In protect
ing a naturalized American citizen, one At
trian, Mr.. Davis was set upon by five Turk
ish policemen and dragged along the
ground. Quite incidentally it appears that
upon recovering his footing the consul
promptly and soundly thrashed all five of
the policemen.
Mr. Leishman, our minister at CONSTANT
nople under the department instructions
made prompt inquiry into the assault and
while the detailed mail report of the result
of his investigation has not yet reached the
State Department, Acting Secretary Adee
felt that cable advices warranted him in
taking positive action.
Therefore he has cabled Minister Leish-
man to represent the facts to the Turkish
government, and inform that government
that the case is one seeming to invite an ex-
preston of regret and reparation. The
State Department does not Indicate what
measure of reparation is expected, but it is
understood that the Turkish government.
certainly by removal or otherwise will
punish the offending Turkish officials at
Alexandretta and compensate Attrian for
the losses and injuries he sustained The
Turkish government is perfectly willing to
compensate Attrian and deport him. 1t is
understood, the main offense being the as
sault upon the United States consul, a mat
ter of gravity in international law.
The consul has found refuge for the time
being at Beirut awaiting instructions from
the State Department or from Minister
Leishman as to whether or not he shall re-
turn to his post.

FOR SATURDAY STAR.
Three New Tales by Tolstoy' to Ap-
pear,

Three remarkable stories from the pen of
greatest of living writers, will appear in
The Star next Saturday. They are to be
printed simultaneously in the great cities all
over the world, and the entire profits
cruing from the publication are to be devot-
ed to the relief of the Jews impoverished by
the riots at Kishenef and Gomel.
The stories are of a very high grade. They
present Count Tolstoys religious and moral
doctrines in new and powerful forms. but
are deeply interesting as stories for the
general reader apart from that fact.
The first story is "Assarkhadon, King of
Assyria." 1t is a thrilling tale of oriental
conquest and cruelty. Assarkhadon, a
monarch who has slain his thousands and
tens of thousands, is made by the magic of
sage to feel their death agonies and to
understand that he is one of them-that In
killing and torturing them he has killed
and tortured himself.
The second story, Work, Death and
Sickness" is based a legend current
among the South American Indians 1t
gives the reasons why in Tolstoy's judg-
ment God placed those three biblical curses
on mankind, to teach men that their real
happiness lies in unselfsh love and care
for one another.
The third story. "The Three Questions"
tells of king who sought to discover the
most important time to do things, the most
important man to Enow. and the most i'm
portant business to transact At last, after.
many trials, he learned from wise hermit
that the most important time is now. the
most important man is "he with whom you
are now," and the most important business
to do him good.
Besides the special features mentioned
above next Saturdays Star will contain a
vast array of reading matter relating par
ticularly to the holiday season.
In fact, next Saturdays Star will be a
yeritable Christmas number.

WANT MORE TIME.
Railways Seek Extension for Adding
Safety Appliances.

Safety Appliances.
Arguments in application for further
extension of time within which to comply
with the law relating to the application OF
air appliances to the rolling stock of rail-
roads were heard this morning by the in
terstate commerce commission. The roads
making application were the lines of tine
Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg, the Lehigh
Valley the Erie and the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton. All of these roads al
ready have had several extensions, but
their argument is that inasmuch as they
have made every effort to comply with the
law they should be given further extern
sion
The law requires that all trains shall have
at least 30 per cent of airbrakes applied
to them, and it is not thought likely by
the commission that a further extension
will be granted, the roads having had am
pie time within which to make the alte..a-
tions to their rolling stock required by the
act.
The several railroads were represented by
their solicitors. Witnesses in the persons
of division superintendent for the road and
special inspectors for the commission were
also present and Vice President Willard of
the Erie railroad was an interested at
tendant at the hearing q:

ARRIVED FROM PANAMA.
Canal Treaty Deposited in the Depart
ment Of State.

big expressman brought the famous
Hay BupauVarilla canal treaty, inclosed
in large steel box to the State Depart
ment this morning, and deposited 1t in the
office of Chief Clerk Michael. The express
man also had two tin bond boxes, which
contained keys to the big steel box and to
the smaller box contained within, inclosing
the treaty. The various boxes were p1et-
tily sealed with red and blue silk ribbon
with tag bearing an address to Minister
Bunau-VarilIa. care of John Hay, Secre-
tary of State. The Panama minister is ex-
pected to arrive in Washington from New
York in a day or two, and the packages
will be held subject to his order
Until the boxes are opened the State De-
partment officials cannot tell whether the
inclosed treaty is the original treaty,
drawn here. countersigned in Panama and
returned, or whether it is the ordinary rat
ffieation treaty supposed to have been ex-
changed in Panama 1t will make little diff
ference in result, but the form of exchange
may be affected. - The Panaman minister
will remain technically in charge of The
treaty until the United States Senate has
either approved or rejected the opening
canal treaty, and in the first case, he win
exchange this copy of the treaty with one
prepared by the State Department, thus
completing the negotiations and putting tile
convention at once into force.

TO WIDEN ALLEYS.
Bill Drawn UP by the Commissioners
Introduced

Senator Gallinger today introduced two
bills that were drawn up by the District
Commissioners. One of these provides for
the opening and extension and widening of
alleys. 1t is in the form of amendment
to the code of the District, and provides
that when the owners of more than one
half of the real estate in square or where
the Commissioners deem it desirable for
the public interest or the health officer
shall ask for the opening or extension of
an alley it shall be done. Provision is
made for condemnation proceedings to-
carry out this purpose.
Another bill by the Commissioners Is to
require contractors to give sufficient bonds
as a guarantee of satisfactory work done
for the District.
