FRANCE AS MEDIATOR.
Series of Conferences are now being
Held.

Paris, Oct. 5.-France has decided
to act as mediator between Turkey
and Bulgaria and already has begun
series of conferences with foreign
diplomatic representatives.
The Temps says that Austria is
ready to compensate Turkey for the
definite seizure of the provinces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina by the retro
cession of the Saniak of Novipazar,
which is under partial military occupa-
tion by Austria-Hungary in virtue of a
convention between that power and
Turkey concluded in 1879.
t.igh Parsonage Confirm Rumor.
Inquiries in competent circles seem
fully to confirm the Temps informa-
ton. President Fallieres, Premier
Clemencean and Foreign Minister Pin
chon held consultation Sunday rela-
tive to letter from Emperor Francis
Joseph, which was transmitted to the
president by Count Khevenhuller-
Metsch. the Austrian ambassador.
This letter Is understood to be iden-
tical with letters which have been
transmitted to other chiefs of states,
notifying them of Austria's intention,
An view OF the change in the situation
in the Balkans. to tighten the bonds"
which unite Bosnia and Herzegovina
to Austria.
France is disposed to act cautiously
an this matter. If the treaty of Berlin
is to be torn UP, the main fear is that
this will be followed by scramble for
compensation" Greece claiming
Crete. Italy Albania and other powers
seeking similar acquisitions.
Being largely disinterested, France
is In position to enact the role of
harmonizer between the rival inter-
ests. The first move is likely to be a
suggestion that any changes shall be
made in accordance with the diplo-
matte chart of the Balkans laid down
by the powers In 1878. The presence
here at this time of NJ Iswolsky. the
Russian foreign minister, is considered
fortunate.
France to Evade Initiative.
Late last night it was announced that
the French government must leave the
initiative in the publication of the text
of the emperor's letter to Francis JOS
eph himself, but information. originat-
Ing apparently from an authorized
Vienna source, indicates the letter ex-
poses the general situation in the
Orient and emphasizes the possible
consequences of Turco-Bulgarian
conflict and the position Austria would
be placed In thereby.
The emperor. it is stated, declares he
will not take the initiative in breaking
the Berlin treaty, but that Austro- Hun
garian interests force him to take into
account certain eventualities independ-
ent OF his will. Notable results NAV
follow the proclamation of the indie
pendence Of Bulgaria The emperor
concludes his letter with the statement
that the occupation of Austria Hun
gary, Of Bosnia and Herzegovina must
be considered definite.
Vienna Expects Annexation.

the prominence of Bosnia and Herze-
govina by Austria, It is believed. win

oel. - lJho.
My Dear Doctor Wade:
Il have the program and the news
paper clipping giving an account of
the great meeting held in Richmond
the other evening in celebration of the
victory won for the people in the pass
ing of the county local option law,
which you were kind enough to send
me, and / beg to thank you most sim
cerely therefor. great step has
been taken and now that it has been
taken, 1t must be saved at the polls in
November. Those who think il is not
in peril, are not acquainted with the
conditions that exist and we must be
upward still and onward IL we would
save what we have already won.
Sincerely yours.
j. Frank Hanly
The above letter received from the
governor, received by the Rev. r. j.
wade and read by him this morning
at the meeting of the Ministerial as
sociation, is his public endorsement
of the republican state ticket and his
warning to the republicans and the
democrats who favor county local op-
ton should rally to the support of Mr.,
Watson and render him additional sup
port by elecung republican legisla-
ture. To clinch the victory they won
at the special session of the legisla-
ture the temperance people of the
state must elect Mr.. Watson.
Governor Hanly's statement that
those who think it dhe county local
option law is not in danger are not
acquainted with the conditions that ex-
ist." is construed to mean. that he
keenly realizes that brewery and sa-
loon interests of the state will do
everything in their power to elect Mar
shall and a Democratic legislature.
making 1t possible to repeal the county
local option law and to enact a ward
and township local option law. Gov
ernor Hanly is most insistant on the
election of James E. Watson as HIS sue
cessor, realizing that should the legis-
lature repeal the county local option
bill Mr.. Watson would veto it and that
the required two-thirds vote to pass il
over his head would be most improb-
able
No discussion was entered into by
the ministers over this letter, but they
will heed the governors warning, and
in this campaign will exert all of their
influence to secure Republican vic
tory this fall. The governors warning
will be sounded from tire pulpits.
The Ministerial association this
morning extended an invitation to the
State Anti-Saloon league to have its
representatives fill pulpits of the var
ious local churches on Worlds Temper
ance Day, Sunday, November % The
invitation extended to the association
to attend the Presbyterian synod, to be
held in this city, was accepted The
ministers also extended condolences to
the family of the late Prof c. w. Hod-
gin and they will attend his funeral at
Earlham chapel tomorrow afternoon
in a body.
