NEAR EAST TALKS PEACE.
War Clouds over Bulgaria, Servia and
Turkey Are Thinning.

London, Oct. 19.-The cloud which
lowered owe the neal eastern situation
Saturday has been dispersed, leaving a
more hopeful prospect for the preserva-
tion of peace. Official denials of the
mobilization rumors from both Turkey
and Bulgaria are held to indicate the
success of the diplomatic efforts of the
western powers in Constantinople and
Sofia toward settlement of a difficult
problem and, although it becomes more
clear daily that the agreement entered
into by Sir Edward Grey, British for.
eign secretary, and NJ. Iswolsky, Rus
sian foreign minister, concerning the
proposed conference of the powers, il
not acceptable to Austria or Turkey
and that prolonged and delicate negotia'
tions must procede the assembling OF
the conference, the belief in the best
informed quarters still is that peace
will be unbroken.

Walls of Singing Children.

The wonderful inspiration of the
massed children g voices, representative
of New Japan, was evidently a part
of a carefully thought-out plan. 1t is
the intention of the reception officials
to have 100000 school children this
week voice the sentiment of the ma
ten 3 coming generations.
On reaching Toxic the train was met
by a committee composed of representa-
tives of every department of the gov
ornment. Secretary Jay Of the American
embassy and the entire staff from the
legation were also on hand to greet the
visitors.
After the exchange of formal greet
ings on the station platform a process
sion was formed and then came a great
surprise when the band struck up the
national hymn and 10000 school chill
dren massed in a chorus which packed
the entire approach to the station, sang
the words Of the hymn in English. The
entire effect of the American naval of
icers walking through the narrow pass
age and the walls of the children of
Japan singing the national air in Eng
lish was such as to stir the inspiration

Acct, who, with his officers, bareheaded,

100 MEN RULE NATION,
SAYS Ia TOILETTE
Wisconsin Senator Declares Re-
cent Panic Was Planned.
AMENDMENTS TO ALlR!CH BILL
Railroad Bonds Dropped - Senate
Committee Votes to Eliminate
This Feature of Currency Meas
ure--Synopsis of Speech.

Washington, D. C.-Congress was
electrified by the sudden elimination
Of the railroad bond feature from the
Aldrich Currency bill, and later by a
bitter attack on the measure by Sen
aIor Robert NJ. La Toilette, Of Wiscon-
sin, in which he charged that it was
the legislation most desired by the
comparatively small clique which has
succeeded in dominating the finances
Of the country. The business of the
Nation, he declared, has gradually
been centralized until it is directed
by the men who control the New York
banks, and these men number less
than 100.
Aldrich's remuneration of the clause
of his measure admitting railroad
bonds as a basis for the issuance OF
emergency curren>y occasioned as
constituent. This rInunciation was
made in committee just before the
Senate met. Other minor conces-
sions were made, but the railroad
bond feature o~vershadowed every
thing else. At first it was believed
that the action was taken to embar-
rass La Toilette. whose address was
understood to be leveled principally
at this phase of the measure.
La Toilette was late in rising to
address the Senate. He declared that
the recent panic originated through
the Capitalization of business in the
hands of a few men. These men, he
charged later. had plotted to bring
about the panic to satisfy business,
legislative and political grudges, and
to advance their own selfish interests.
Il have here a list Of about 100
men," he said, waving q paper at the
Senate, who control the industrial,
financial and commercial life of the
American people. In the grasp of
these 100 men is the destiny of the
Republic. The country does not seem
to realize how closely allied are the
great banking houses. of the money
centres to this centralization."
Senator La Toilette here read a list
of the names of the men who con-
troll the industrial and transportation
enterprises and the banks of the
country. Continuing, he said:
mo student of the economic
changes in recent years can escape
the conclusion that the ownership
and control of railroads, telegraph,
shipping, cable, telephone, traction,
express, mining. iron, steel, coal, oil,
gas, electric light, cotton, copper,
sugar, tobacco, agricultural imple-
ments and the feed products are com
pletely controlled and mainly owned
by these men,"

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Haze Steady Nerves.

The nervous system OF the muSi-
ian is often very sensitive, apd any
habit like coffee drinking may so up
set the nerves as to make regular and
necessary daily practice mex to i'm
possible.
81 practice from seven to eight
hours a day and study Harmony two
hours" writes a Mich. music student.
Last September | was so nervous |
could only practice a few minutes at
a time and mother said | would have
to drop my music for a year.
This was terribly discouraging, as
] couldn't bear the thought OF losing
a whole year or study. Becoming
convinced hat my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken OF. decided
would test it for a while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and | thought | had never
tasted such a delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
OF coffee, and By November | felt
more like myself than for years, and
vas ready 10 resume my music.
Il now practice as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
finished | am not any more nervous
than when | began.
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practice
half a day. My father is a physician
and recommends Postum to his pa
tients. Words cannot express my ap-
probation for this most valuable
health beverage, and experience has
proven its superiority over all 9TH

Chair Made From Gallows.

Warden Burns E. Norton, of the
Maine State Prison, has just received
from the mandatory a table-chair
made from the drop of the old prison
gallows which was used before capital
punishment was abolished.
The gallows drop was made Of solid
rock maple, with a pine top. the
whole being thoroughly put together
with bolts.
The old drop for many years had
been lying about the prison and
moved from place to place. Warden
Norton finally ordered it to be cut for
firewood and it was thrown into the
refuse.
The idea then came to him to have
a chair made from it, and the work
has just been finished. The chair is
a combination seat and table, after
the old-fashioned chairs so we'll
known 100 years ago.
The five men who stood upon this
drop when executed were: Lewis H.
F. Wagner and John True Gordon,
1875, and Raffale Capone and Car
men Santore, and Daniel Williamson,

WHAT IT MEANT TO RAILROADS
$41j, 100000 Investment Has Entered
Receivers Hands Since New Years.

Receivers Hands Since New Years.
Chicago.-Since the first of the
year seven railroads with 5000 miles
Of trackage. representing an invest
ment of $415,00U,000 have gone into
the hands of receivers. The liabili.
ties of the roads aggregate S450,000,.
600. During the year 1907 the list
of receiverships included nine small
roads, with a total Of $40 miles, and
an investment of S8,SS2,460.
Railroad men estimate that about
100000 employees have been laid of
since November /. The mechanical
accounting, engineering and clerical
departments have been reduced an
average of %one-third. In normal
times the railroads of the United
States employ about 100000 men.
Department heads have orders to con
tinue a gradual wedding out process
wherever practicable.
While there has been a slight in.
crease in traffic of late, railroad men
say that the improvement has not
been sufficient to warrant the assump.
ton that the end of the reduction OF
forces has been reached. A few OF
the Eastern lines have reduced wages.
but the Western roads will do this
only rs a last resort. Shop men and
others, however, have had their wages
cut by a shortening OF their hours OF
labor. Rumors of a general advance
of freight rates have been current
here
