st. Petersburg in few days in order to
ask the Russian government to do its best
in common with the other powers to get a
plebescite taken in Bosnia to ascertain
whether the Bosnians want Austrian rule
or autonomy.
NJ. Pashich asserts that when he was
Servian minister at st. Petersburg the
emperor, Alexander III, personally
promised him Russia would never allow
Austria to annex Bosnia. In conclusion
he said:
-Four centuries ago we Servians opened
our cities to the Turk rather than become
vassals OF the pope. We would do the
same today rather than become vassals
of Austria, which is practically our fate
if Bosnia Is permanently lost

Il do not at all care whether the method
of serving the summons was contrary to

receive the summons. I do not hold any,
thing against the deputy sheriff except
the fact that he did not say that ne was
an ofIicer OF the law. He did not say that
he had a summons of any kind or a legal
paper OF any kind to serve.
II was in the bathroom at the time. not
avoiding any one or suspecting any one

clined to let him In. He broke open the
door. l stepped out and asked what the
trouble was all about, and the man said
he had a summons in a civil suit to serve.

and contrary TO law, but l accept the
summons notwithstanding. and l invite
Mr.. Haskelrs suit Immediately before
election.
Il am going to New York late today.
and will pass through Indiana. II Mr..
Taggart has any suit to bring l will be
pleased to accept his service.
Il am then going through Ohio. and If
Mr.. Foraker has anything in the way Of
a suit I will be on the platform waiting to
accept his service.
Il make these statements and give out
my itinerary in order that II any suits are
to be brought they may be brought with
out unnecessary annoyance to my fam
lily"
Mr.. Hearst also declared that he was
willing to accept service from Senator

suits be brought at once in order that
facts may be ascertained. He asserted
that II Mr.. Haskell desired to bring

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

1t is usually easy for visitor to the
Washington Stock Exchange on Saturday
TO know that it is an of day in the busl-
ness world without consulting the caien-
dar. There is an air of indifference about
the brokers and general atmosphere OF
apathy in the entire proceedings that
make it evident there is not much inter-
est taken either in the buying or in the
selling of securities.
A number of the members of the eX-
change take advantage of their halliday
holiday to go to the country or to spend
some additional time on the golf links. or
enjoy some other form Of recreation in
more leisurely fashion than is permitted
on an entire business day. All these con-
dftiOnS were in full force at the meeting
of the exchange today, and in addition
the temperature had mounted to extraor-
binary attitudes for this time Of the year.
and an almost midsummer heat helped to
increase the holiday attitude of the
brokers.
