A PROGRAM
Agreed Upon by Great Brit
ain, Russia and France
As a Basis For Settlement Of the
Balkan Trouble.
Changes Berlin Treaty and will
Recognize Gar Ferdinand.

London, Oct. 15.-Great Britain, Rus
STA and France have reached an agree
ment on Il program TO be submitted
to the other powers as a basis fer dis
cussion by the proposed European con-
ference to settle the Balkan situation
The proposals to be laid before the
Powers are eight in number. The first
is to the effect that Articles to % of
the treaty of Berlin. which relate to
Bulgaria and eastern Rumelia, snail
he replaced by stipulations recognizing
the independence of Bulgaria as at
present constituted and determining
the financial obligations of Bulgaria
toward Turkey. New clauses probably
will settle also the question of the
Oriental Railway. The second and third
proposals are that the Powers shall
take note of the annexation ny Aus
tria-Hungary Of Bosnia and Herze-
goVina and the return of the Saljak
Of NovipaZar to Turkey
The fourth article replaces Article
2: of the treaty of Berlin by clauses
recognizing the annexation of Chcte
to Greece and determining the finan-
cial obligations Of Greece to Crete,
~ wv dl u 1 VI hcy IL 10 tIlJl
the four Powers under whose protec-
ton Crete has been, Russia, Great
Britain, France and Italy, will settle
the Cretan question in concert with
Turkey before referring it to the con-
ference 1t is proposed also that the
second part of Article % of the Berlin
treaty, which provides special regula-
tons for the government Of other parts
OF European Turkey shall cease to
have force when the Powers are assur-
ed that a satisfactory settlement has
been effected. The fifth proposal is to
the effect that arrangements similar to
the above shall apply to the Armenian
provinces of Turkey.
The sixth article deals with Monte
negro. The Montenegrins OF sovereign
ty are limited by Article 20 of the
treaty of Berlin. 1t is proposed that
Articles 2G to 80 inclusive of the Ber-
lin treaty shall be condensed to Il sin
gle article abrogating ali the restric-
tons imposed by the treaty under the
original Article 20, which it is proposed
to sweep away. ~ y
The seventh point is the statement
that it is desirable to seek ami give
compensation to Servia and Monte
regro by a rectificaton OF the Bosnian
and Hsrzegovnian frontiers adjoining
Nevipazar. This is taken. to imply that
a strip will be taken from the terri
tory annexed by Austria Hungary.
The eighth proposal declares it is
desirable to revise the regulations gov
erning traffic on the river Danube so US
to give larger rights to the states Dor
dering on the river.

banker and promoter. who came to
grief In the financial panic of last year.
and Alfred H. Curtis. former president
of the National Bank of North Ameri-
ca. which began today before Judge
Houeh and a federal jury, developed
two unpleasant surprises to the de-
fence. First it turned out that the jury
will be locked up each night and placed
under the guard of deputy United
States marshals; next it was revealed
that all Of the government material
witnesses have been under the survol-
lance of secret service operatives, and
that they will be closely watched all
during the trial
The lawyers for the defence express
ed indignation at the locking up of
the jury and shaoowing of witnesses.

precedent in this city in cases similar
to tie present trial and that it reflect
ed upon the lawyers for the defence.

After the trial had been adjourned for
the day. Lawyer Olcott told Judge
Hougn that he wished to express his
dissatisfaction at having the jury kept
in confinement. The lawyer said that
lie had practiced for nearly a quarter
oG a century on both sides of the bar
ard that he mad always found that
confined jury coald not give the undi-
vided attention and consideration to a
case that was necessary in such a
technical case as the present one would
be
but my chief objection is that the
confinement of the jury is more or less
of reflection upon the counsel for
the defence" he said with feeling
"There is nothing quite so dangerous
as the fixing of a jury and ! do not
think that either myself or the coun-
sci associated with me are likely to
undertake. any such thing. | therefore
hope tho court will reconsider the or
der and give the jury permission to re-
main at home during the trial
Judge Hough would not reconsider
his order and said that he believed bet
ter results could be obtained from a
confined jury because when the Jurors
are confined they have nothing else to
think about and consider but the evil
dence that has been presented They
are not compelled to work over home
affairs and business. he said
While the jurors did not express dis
satisfaction at the order which pre-
vented them from going to their homes,
they were very evidently displeased, for
the trial will drag along for at least
six weeks. according to the lawyers for
both sides and several of the Jurors

The men in the boat pulled their hard
