STANDING TIMBER SUPPLY.
Census Being Taken-Amount for %
Years COMPUTED.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The National
conservation commission has caused
the first comprehensive attempt at the
census Of the standing timber in the
United States ever undertaken. The
commission needs the information to
help complete its inventory of the coun-
try S natural resources which it will
include in its report to the president,
and since that report is to be sub
mIttcd on the first of next year, it
needs the information at once. In con
sequence the work on the census has
been started with rush and is now
well under way. Estimates as to the
amount Of standing timber in the Uni
ted States range all the way from S22,-
S62 100000 to 2,0O0,O0O,0OO, board
feet difference of more than a trilion
feet in the views of the best qualified
authorities in the country.
In the opinion of the forest service,
the most carefully prepared estimates
yet made are those Of Henry Gannett,
published by the 18th census of 1900,
which placed the total stumpage at l.,
800, 100000 board feet. Mr. Gan
nett was recently chosen by the presi-
dent to compile all the information
gathered for the commission. The cen
sus is expected to give an accurate
basis for computing how long our tim
Der supplies will last.
The consensus of opinion is that the
present annual consumption Of wood is
about 100000, 100000 board feet, or
something more than that. A leading
authority has placed it as high as 15O,-
000,00O,0OO board feet. Assuming that
stumpage of 1,4OO,OOO,O 100000 board
feet, an annual use of 100000 900
board feet and neglecting growth in the
calculation, the exhaustion of our tim
Der supply is indicated in IA years,
and assuming the same use and stand
with an annual growth of 10000, 100000
feet, a supply for % years is indicated

RoADSsBROKE PROMISE.
Commission Surprised sby Injunction
Suit at ST. Paul.

Washington, Oct. G. Considerable
surprise was expressed at the interstate
commerce commission today when news
was received that the Hill and Harrl-
man railroads had gone into the circuit
court at st. Paul and asked that the
commission be enjoined from enforcing
it's new rates on lumber shipped from
Oregon and Washington to territory east
of the Rocky mountains The rates
fixed by the commission were to have
gone into effect in August, but late in
July the railroads asked for an exten-
sion of time, declaring it to be impos-
sibIe to prepare and publish new sched-
ules by the time stipulated.
They promised, if the extension was
granted, to accept the commission s
rates and put them into effect on Octo-
her 15 and, furthermore, promised that
if this extension was granted they
would not go into court and undertake
to have rates enjoined.
1t is reported unofficialy, however,
that these roads, contrary to their prom
Use, have appealed to- the circuit court
for the eighth circuit at St. Paul for
an injunction against the commission,
and there is no possibility of decision
before the date when the compromise
rates were to have gone into effect.

GERMANY TO BACK AUSTRIA.
Favors Annexation Scheme-Advises
Turkey Against War.

Berlin. Oct. 6.-The foreign office to-
dav declared that Germany would sup
port Austria Hungary in the event of
the annexation of Bosnia and Herze-
govina.
The Associated Press is authorized
to state that Germany associates her
self with the mediation proposals sub
mitted by Great Britain to the Turkish
and Bulgarian governments.
1t is recognized officially that Bull
garia's proclamation gravely compli-
Gates the situation, and until the attl-
tude of the sultan is known the German
government is unable to fOresee its
course of action, except that in no
event will Germany bring pressure to
bear at Constantinople to influence the
decision Of she porte.
Should tin Turkish government seek
the advice of The powers regarding the
advisability of asserting her supre-
macy over Bulgaria by military force,
Germany will not be able to advise the
porte to go to war. The Turkish army
is not prepared, but the Bulgarian army
is ready.

Not Ready, While New Gar is

COnstantinople, Oct. 6.-Bulgaria has
declared her independence of Turkey
and is marching her troops to the from
tier in preparation for war. Turkish
troops are also advancing
Austria Hungary has given notice to
the powers that she intends to annex
permanently to her dominions the Tur-
kish provinces of Bosnia and Herze-
govina, which she has occupied and
governed under mandate of the great
powers for 80 years.
The proclamation of Bulgarian indie
pendence was made by Prince Ferai-
nand in the presence of his cabinet at
Tirnova, the capital of the ancient
kingdom of Bulgaria. The cabinet met
the prince at the frontier yesterday
and iourneyed with him to Tirnova.
The dispute with Bulgaria began in
regard to the control of the Orient
railroad. Diplomatic correspondence
among the powers betrayed a serious
lack of harmony and encouraged Bull
garia to take the bold step of today.
Turkey is convinced that Austria,
backed by Germany, encouraged Bull
garia to declare her independence in
order to strike a blow at the Kiamil
ministry and compromise the new con-
stitution.
Varna and other Bulgarian towns are
placarded today with declarations that
the moment has now arrived to pro-
claim independence, as otherwise Tur-
KEY. on the strength of the treaty OF
Berlin, will demand the restitution of
Eastern Rumelia.

LIMIT SkYSCRAPERS.
New York Building Authorities De-
eide on 800 Feet.

New York. Oct 9.-The committee
on public buildings of the board Of
aldermen has announced public hear
ing on the proposal to limit the height
OF all buildings in New York. If the
aldermen should adopt the proposal,
after the hearing it must go to the
board of estimates, and the mayor
will have the final decision.
1t is proposed to limit the height OF
buildings to 300 feet, with the excep-
ton of buildings that front on park,
square or plaza, for which the limit
is proposed at $50 feet.
The proposition was made by the
building code revision committee,
which made its reports after investl-
eating the width OF the streets in the
city Where the width of a street IS
less than ~ feet, height of 135 feet
only will be permitted A general
limit of $50 feet is proposed for all
stores, lofts, warehouses, restaurants,
markets, refrigerator plants, stables,
factories, workshops, garages and
other structures of similar nature.
Office buildings, grain elevators and
observatories are to be the only build
ings to be allowed to rise higher.
1t is expected that considerable op-
position to the new plan will develop.

People of Serva Renew Demands on

Belgrade, Oct 9.-Great crowds
again surrounded the palace last
night, shouting for war and calling for
the king to appear. Finally King
Peter, accompanied by the Crown
Prince, came to the balcony and inn
plored the people not to cause dis
turbance. He said:
Trust me and my government;
both will do their duty"
The crowd cheered the king, but
continued to shout, "War with Aus
tra."
The report of the resignation of the
ministers was premature, but the rad
,icals are trying to bring this about
charging them with inactivity in the
present critical situation, and it is
feared that cabinet crisis may be

This was received with popular &C

afternoon Thousands of people pro-
ceeded into the country to meet the

ply to a letter he had received from

Of litigation against the trusts.
The reply gives a summary of the

ney general says that his department
has prosecuted all cases under the
Sherman antitrust or interstate com
merce laws that have been brought to
its attention from responsible sources,
where the facts disclosed warrant such
action. He continues:
cit is, of course, needless for me to
say that the mere fact that corpora
tion or association is called trust
by Mr.. John Moody in his manual, does
not prove or even tend to prove that
its organization or its members have
been guilty of violation of federal
laws. Neither is such guilt suggested
by the fact that such organization may

SULTAN LOSES
MORE TERRITORY
Crete PrOCIaims Union With Greek
Kingdom.
Ferment in Balkan Peninsula Grows
and Powers Disagree About Con-
ference Turkish Government
Protests to Powers Against Action
of Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary.

The people on the island of Crete,
stirred by the events in southeastern
Europe, the independence of Bulgaria
and the annexation of Bosnia and Her
zegovina by Austria, have arisen and
proclaimed union with Greece.
The Turkish government has sent to
the powers a circular protesting against
the Bulgarian proclamation and asking
the powers what steps they mean to
take looking to the establishment of
order in Bulgaria and the maintenance
of Turkeys interests, which were guar
anteed by the treaty of Berlin.
Great Britain, in reply to the notifi-
cation of Austria Hungary's proposed
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
has refused it's sanction to this action
and has practically requested the Aus
tro-lIungarian government to recon
slider it.
Both Premier Asquith and Foreign
Secretary Grey in public addresses
touched upon the Balkan question, the
former asserting that the British gov
ernment would not stand alone among
the powers in its present attitude, the
latter expressing the belief that moth.
ing has happened thus far that would
lead to a breach of the peace.
In Servia there is popular clamor for
war against Austria Hungary, and the
Servian government has issued an ap-
peal to the powers, requesting them to
restore the status quo or else to grant
Scrvia compensation.
Italy, through Signor Tittoni, the
foreign minister, has demanded that in
addition to the evacuation of Novi-
bazar, Austria renounce the protec-
torates which she has exercised over
Montenegro under the Berlin treaty.
Italy is one with Great Britain, France
and Russia in counseling the holding
of a conference of the powers for the
purpose of examining the complications
that have arisen, and, if necessary, re-
vising the treaty of Berlin.

WORK FOR WEST.
Nineteenth Session of Trans Missis-
sippi Congress Opens.

San Francisco, Oct. 7-Assembled to
promote the common interests of near
ly a score of states comprising the west,
several hundred delegates in attend
ance upon the opening session of the
Nineteenth Trans Mississippi CONNER
cial Congress yesterday listened to
gratifying assurances of cooperation
and support from the national admin
istration, from the representative of 20
republics of the western continent, who
are interested in the pending delibera-
tions. from the two leading candidates
for the presidency of the United States
and from the leading citizens of the
states and territories comprising their
own organizations.
Reserving for the succeeding days of
the congress the spirited debates
promised on the conservation of nat
ural resources and kindred topics, the
visitors yesterday basked in the
warmth Of welcome extended by
practically every official representa-
tive of the state and city honored by
their coming, and in the afternoon re
ceived with enthusiastic delight the of
ficial assurances of two speakers who
promised a splendid fulfillment of west
ern hopes and western ideals.
Not the least striking feature of the
session was the astonishment ex-
pressed by delegates who witnessed for
the first time the rapid rebuilding of
San Francisco. A dozen speakers de-
clared that the marvellous restoration
of the city destroyed less than three
years ago would prove the inspiration
of the congress.

TURKEY APPEALS TO POWERS.
Wiling to Yield to Conference, but
Wants Bulgaria Disciplined.

Constantinople, Oct. THE council
Of ministers held a long session yester-
day morning to consider the action of
Bulgaria in declaring her independence
Of Turkey at Tirnovo. 1t was decided
that it was impossible to accept any
proceedings that violated existing
treaties and that Turkey should ad-
dress a circular note to the powers
pointing out the necessity of taking
measures to enforce respect for the
treaty Of Berlin.
Replying to the terms sent to the
Turkish government by Prince Ferdi-
nand, in which he said in declaring the
independence of Bulgaria he had been
compelled to respect the voice of the
nation and expressed the hope that the
friendly relations between the two
countries would continue, Turkey says
she has invited the powers to confer on
the situation and as her rights are
guaranteed by the powers she will look
to them for their defense. The Yenai
Gazette, the organ of the grand vizier,
said yesterday:
"We are ready to defend our rights
with all our strength. AS the action
of Bulgaria is not only directed against
us, but against all the powers we
should ask the powers to defend their
interests and protect the provisions of
the treaty of Berlin"
According to this same journal, Aus
tria- Hungary has informed the powers
of her intention of withdrawing her
troops from the Sanjak of Novibazar.
