POWERS DELAY ACTION
VIII Await the Cars Visit to Emperor
Francis Joseph.

London. Sept. 14.-Beyond making
urgent representations to Bulgaria the
powers will take no action to avert war
in the Balkans until the conference be-
tween the ear and Emperor Francis
Joseph at Vienna the latter part Of the
month. The result Of this decision will be
to leave Turkey a free hand in the ruth
less suppression Of the instruction, UNI
less Bulgaria, unmindful Of the warning
Of the powers that she will reap nothing
from intervention, should act, an event.
ually which the diplomats fear cannot
long be postponed.
Turkey has assured Great Britain az
well as the other powers that. she now
has the revolutionary situation well In
hand, protesting that her troops are show
ing admirable self-restraint. Nevertheless,
interest is taken here in the suggestion
Of the Novoe Vrenya of st. Petersburg
as solution of the difficulties that Of
ficers of the foreign powers be attached
to all Turkish repressive expeditions, with
authority to prevent unnecessary cruelty.
It Is reiterated strongly that Russia Is
acting solely in the interests of peace and
entirely above board, and that Great
Britain, while carefully watching develop
ments. has expressed herself as satisfied
on this score.

Special TO The Journal,
Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 14.-One of the
earliest autumnal storms experienced in
the northwest for many years swept over
the country on Saturday and early Sunday
morning, The local telegraph companies
have practically no communication with
the west except by circuitous routes thru
the United States, and the movements or
many Of the trains yesterday were directed
by long distance telephones. 1t Is impos-
sible to learn to what extent the crops
have been damaged, but reports to hand
are not reassuring.
The only fatality reported comes from
Gretna, where an OIL man fell from a
buggy and persisted in the storm. AT
Hartney, twelve horses died in the Ca
madam Pacific yards and In the vicinity
other live stock are reported 20 have per-
ished. The fullest fury of the blizzard
appears to have been felt in the north
western part Of Manitoba.
Ten Inches Of Snow.
A telephone message received from
Minnedosa reported that the storm was
one OF the worst experienced there in five
years. It started to blow about 10
o'clock in the morning and a heavy rain
soon followed. At noon this developed
into a snow storm and by dark the snow
was ten inches deep on the level prairie.
This storm was a regular old-time biz
gard, and neither man nor beast could
stand against it. A large amount Of dam
age has been done to the crops In the
surrounding country, which is especially
noticeable along the railroads. Miles and
miles of telegraph poles were laid to the
ground by the storm. Seven trains were
sent from Brandon to help clear up the
wreckage. Yesterday the snow had not
disappeared.
Grain Ruined.
When the sun came out the snow melted
and the stacks were soaked thru. Grain
which was still standing is almost totally
ruined and the loss will be very heavy. a:

London, Sept. 14.-The Daily Nails
correspondent at Sofia, In a dispatch
dated Sept. 9, sends an interview he had
with Tartarscheff. the chief of the revo-'
lutionary committee, in which the latter
represented that there was a strong
probability of Servia throwing in her lot
with Bulgaria against Turkey, and that
the question Of war or no war mainly
depended on Servia.
I Tartarscheff declined to commit himself
to details but admitted that negotiations
were proceeding between his committee
and Servia, and also that the Seryian
premier lately sent scouts to join the
revolutionists in Bulgaria in order to re-
port the latter's progress.
Captain Sarafoff, the brother of the rev.
dictionary chief, who was also present
at the interview, went further than Tar
tarscheff, and alleged that it was weeks
ago agreed at the slightest provocation
the Servian forces should invade Old
Servia and occupy Uskub. It was limited
that Montenegro would also be heard
from in, Albania, and that, Turkey would
thus be compelled to divide her forces,
thereby much reducing her chances Of
victory" sz ~.... :. b.. .sss.,.

HILLS TRAIN
RUNS ON ROCKS
Great Northern President and a
Party of Officials Get Lively
Shaking Up.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. IA special
train consisting of an engine and two
coaches, containing President J. J. Hill
of the Northern Securities company,
President Harris, the first and second vice
presidents, Chief Engineer Breckenridge
and other officials of the Burlington early
last evening ran into two large boulders
which had been washed upon the track by
a severe rainstorm near Alma. The en-
CINE was badly damaged, but outside Of a
bad shaking up and few bruises, none
Of the officials on the train was injured.
A fierce storm was In progress when
the official train left this city late yes
terday afternoon, bound for st. Paul, and
the engineer was running at a very mod
crate rate of speed when the engine
crashed into the rocks. Two track walk
ers had been over the track but a few
minutes before the special came along
and at that time the roadbed was In good
condition.
Chief Engineer Breckenridge was in a
wreck about year ago but a few miles
from Alma, in which Trainmaster Purdy
lost his life and other officials were badly
injured
Much damage was done to railroads in
this vicinity by the storm, numerous
washouts being reported. All trains are
late into the city to-day.

turned out to be good thing in more
ways than one. James G. Blaine used to
say: 'eThere is no such thing sue
cessful diplomacy without big guns be-
hind it, An even greater diplomatist
than Mr.. Enthusiastically Hay-says:
1T should not, perhaps, be SO, but it is
So that the presence of few steel-shoot-
ing machines in a Turkish harbor greatly
facilitates the progress of the gentle art
of diplomacy with the Turkish govern
ment."
Praise for LeIshman.
Minister Leishman, our representative
at Constantinople, is coming in for good
deal Of praise concerning the manner in
which he has handled matters at his post.
It Is admitted that Mr. Leishman is an
exponent Of what is known as Shirt
sleeve diplomacy but that seems to be
the kind which is most effective in Con-
stantinople. Mr.. Leishman had occasion
to do a good deal Of plain talking to the
sultan, and in characterizing the conduct
Of the grand vizier, he has not hesitated
to call a spade q spade.
About a year ago the minister Of for
eign affairs promised reforms in the way
of treating American teachers in Turkey.
The grand vizier countermanded the min
listers orders. Then Leishman called upon
the grand vizier and got his promise that
! the original promise Should be carried out.
But the old man again put In stop or
Ider. This raised the ire of the minister.
and he wired for authority to demand his
passports. At the same time he demanded
an. interview with the sultan, such as only
ambassadors are supposed to be accorded
The sultan granted it., and Leishman UNI
bosomed himself He practically called
| every man in the empire, from the grand
vizier down, the cheapest of prevaricators
he ever met. The sultan did not get an
CRY. He got the minister's promise to re-
sumo relations with the grand vizier, as
surfing him that the premier was old and
| forgetful.

Albanian and Turkish Troops Enjoy Their
Usual Pastlme.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 14.-Albanfan and
Turkish troops collected in the vilayet' Of
Adrianople appear to be pursuing their
usual tactics Of burning villages and kill
ing, peasants instead OF making an at
tempt to break up tnsurgent bands.
The Turks are making clean sweep Of
the whole Bulgarian element. The Alba
MAN soldiers in the vilayet of Adrianople
are stated to be entirely beyond control.
At Kostursco influential beys COM
planned to the officers OF the sexcesses
committed by the troops. The officers re-
scented the criticism and told the soldiers
that the beys were friends Of the revo-
lutionaries, whereupon the soldiers burned
the beys farms.
The TURF have burned the villages Of
Almagik and Erikler in the district of
Losengrad. They beheaded twenty-five
Bulgarians in the presence Of their fam
ilies Twelve thousand troops are as
sembled around Malkotonovo and they
are engaged in pillaging and burning the
villages. The population everywhere is

| the Turkish population in the district of
Losengrad has received arms. and even

soldiers proceeding from Odrin to Losen-
grad plundered the villages route,

ACUTE CRISIS IN
BRITISH CABINET
Meeting at London This Afternoon
Regarded as the Most Impor-
tant in Many Years.
The Resignation Of Foreign Secre-
tary Lansdowne Is Expected
and Others May Follow.

London, Sept. 14.-It Is understood that
rumors Of the approaching resignation Of
the chancellor Of the exchequer, Mr..
Richie, are well founded. He will attend
the special cabinet meeting called for to-
day with the determination of resigning.
Other minor designations are likely to oc-
cur but Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
and Premier Balfour are reported to be
standing together and intend keeping up
the cabinet by filling the vacancies.
From all parts of the country and the
continent British cabinet ministers came
to London to-day to attend the cabinet
meeting which was regarded as marking
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-09-14

the most important phase in the recent
political history of the United Kingdom.
The Times voiced public sentiment in say
ing it was q great occasion, more i'm.
portant even than the historic meeting
when home rule was upper1nost, for the
main issue to-day, it declared, was the
unity Of the empire"
Not since the fateful day when the
cabinet framed. an answer to President
Kruger's ultimatum had such crowds
gather around Downing street.
Crowds Were on Hand.
From early morning loiterers assembled
in the hopea of catching glimpse of the
political leaders. However, when it was
announced that the cabinet would not
meet until o'clock the spectators dwin-
dled away.
Mr. Balfour, who arrived In London
from Ireland yesterday evening, went to
Downing street early. There a number OF
treasury officials were closeted all the
morning with Mr.. Balfour's secretaries,
going over the statistics on which the
cabinet Is supposed to base it's decision
for or against free trade. Mr.. Cham
berlain, who was the center figure in to-
days proceedings, left Birmingham &C
companied by his wife.
A large crowd babe them farewell at the
railroad station. On their arrival here
Mrs, Chamberlain went to their London
home and Mr.. Chamberlain proceeded to
the colonial office.
The War Scandal.
Rumors are af1oat as to the probable
upshot Of to-day's meeting. Foreign Sec
| rotary Lansdowne is said to have placed
his resignation in the hands of Premier
Balfour in order to be perfectly free tc
! distribute the blame for the war scandals
among his colleagues. Mr.. Chamberlain
and Lord Miner in particular, it Is said
he can prove played the principal part
in misleading both the cabinet and the
! war office.
In official circles it is an open secret
| that all the really serious war scandals
! have been concealed. Lord Roseberry
raises a despairing cry to say that the
appointment Of Lord Kitchener as com
mander- in chief is the only way to save
| the country from the imminent peril arts.

/ mittedly worse than before the Boer war
In India, however, General Kitchener
by no means impressed the army as re-
markable military administrator Premier

reputation of the ministry as a whole

and execution of the war policy.
Jeers for Chamberlain.
Upon the arrival of Mr.. chamberlain a

Mr. Chamberlain, who was accompanie

ually were obliged to form double line
from Mr.. Balfour's house to the foreig
office, so as to enable the cabinet minis

NEARING THE FRONTIER
Turkish Troops Are MassIns Along the

Paris, Sept. 14.-Foreign office adyices
from Bulgaria show. that the situation Is
growing more serious owning to reports
that the Turkish troops are slowing near
ing the border. If their advance con-
tinues there will be a general mobiliza-
ton Of the Bulgarian forces preparatory
to meeting eventualities.
A Russo-Austrian note to the powers
has been received here and Is now under
consideration. It sets forth that in the
event Of hostllities between Turkey and
Bulgaria, Russia and Austria will not give
their support to either Of the parties. but
will hold each of them to a strict ac-
countability for their actions. It is ex-
pected that France will adhere to the
Russo-Austrian attitude.

But the navy is growing rapidly and re-

The coming session of congress promises
to be marked by extremely important
