 Great Britain has receded from her original position and Is now willing that the proposed conference of the nowers to settle the crisis in the near East shall take under advisement other questions in addition to those involved in the annexation of Bosnia and Bulgarian independence. It IS now practically certain that the con- ference will be held but it's scope has not yet been determined.
 Austria still adheres strictly to the principle of non-intervention. A Turk ish cruiser and three torpedo boats have arrived at Salonoki on the way to the Island of Samos, a Grectan pos session. This is Turkeys answer to the proclamation of the Cretans of un- ion with Greece.
 For the moment there is little talk of war, and even Servia seems to be taking a calmer view of the situation. The Servian 4,s..4onal Assembly has en- dorsed the governments policy. and the government, at the instance of the powers, has been striving to maintain peace.

STUMP FOR BRYAN
FORMER SENATOR CLARK TO AID
 DEMOCRATS.
MT. Clark Asserts That the Businses Interests of the Country Would Be Benefited by Bryan's
 Election.

Chicago, Oct. 12.--Asserting that the business interests of the country would be benefited by the election of Will liam J. Bryan. former Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, said tonight that he would take the stump and aid in every way possible to bring about the election of the Democratic candidate. MT. Clark called at the headquarters today and conferred with National Chairman Mack. Mir. Clark said:
 MT. Bryan is making most re- markable campaign and believe his chances are far better than were those in any of his previous contests. He has behind him a truly united Dem ocracy. To me. the most foolish thing about this campaign~is the prediction of the opponents of Mir. Bryan, that the election of the Democratic candi- date would injure business prospects and bring about a panic. It will be dtfficuIt for Mir. Bryan to do more to disturb business conditions than has Mfr. Roosevelt. I have investments In various parts of the country and as a business man. do not hesitate to say that I would not vote for a man whose eIectian in my opinion would injure the business interests of this nation. believe the election of Mir. Bryan would stimulate the business world and place it on a firm and healthy basis"
 Mr. Clark will make several speeches in Montana and other states.

Washington, Oct. 12-(Special)- Thomas B. StaIlings. Secretary to Sem ator Johnston, received a letter this morning from the latter, who is now on a campaigning tour. Ke writes:
 q spoke Friday night at Waterbury. Conn. Ex-Secretary Shaw spoke there a few days previously to l5O persons. We had 1900. a packed house, and the most enths siastic people l ever saw. They enjos ed. every dig that was given Roosevelt.
 T saw the State Chairman. and he told me that he was confident the state would go Democratic for Governor and President.
 Last night I spoke at Tenafiy, on the Palisades of the Hudson. It has about 2.50O inhabitants, but the little towns are thick. They had two bands and 1000 men paraded with torch lights I spoke in the open-air in light drizzle of rain with overcoat ana hat on The crowd was enthusiastic, and there has been 8 large gain Tor Bryan. Some of the leaders there are rich young men, who are for Bryan for the first time.
 "AlI speakers I meet here at head quarters (tne Senator wrote from the rooms of the Democratic National Com mittee in New York) say that every where they go there are large and en- thusiastic crowds, The National Com mittee seem to have cold feet and do not seem to realize what appears to the speakers as an uprising of the peo- pie.
 T saw an employe of one of the big banks here carrying torch in a Dem ocratic procession. He told me that there were l25 employees in the bank; that eighteen voted for Bryan last time and eighty-seven would vote for him this tlme."

socIalIsts Want Pcnce.

Brussels, Oct. l2.-The Internation- al Socialist Congress adopted a reso- lution today in favor of the applica- ton of the peace program outlined in August, 1907. by the same body at Stuttgart in event of the present Bal kan crisis resulting in war.
 The International Socialist Congress at Stuttgart unanimously adopted res- olutions against ornaments for con- quest and imperialism. It was decid- ed also that should a war be threat ened the Socialists would bring all pressure to bear in an endeavor to hinder it's outbreak and in case hos. tiltties began, they would use all ef- forts to bring the war to a speedy conclusion if possible utilizing the commercial and industrial crisis thus brought about to organize for the overthrow of the capitalism.

 WHITE HOUSE.
The 10Os-O9 Term Session of the Court Convened At Noon But No Ohl- cial Business Was Trans
 acted.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Beyond the admission of twenty-one members of the bar, the supreme court of the Unit ed States which convened at noon to- day for the 190S-o9 term, transacted no official business but immediately ad- iourned to make the usual formal call upon the president.
 Among the members admitted to the bar were two women, both of this city; James A. Fowler, of Tennessee, the new assistant attorney general and Charles Reed Hemenway, attorney gem eral of Hawaii. As usual the oath was administered by James McKenny, clerk of the court who in performing this ceremony. used Bible which had been purchased for the court just 100 years ago. The number of admissions was unusual. Immediately after the court adjourned, the members, accom- panied by the clerk and the marshal, took carriages for the White House, The actual business of the term will begin at 12 o'clock tomorrow.
 At the White House. the justices were received in the blue parlor and after shaking hands with the Presi- dent, chatted with him a short time. The President made no formal re- marks.
