Sending Armed Bands Into
Herzegovina
AUSTRIA ORDERS TROOPS
To Protect New oundaries-Turkish
Warships Sail for Cretan Waters
Resents the Declaration Of the
Union with Greece.

Boston, Oct 9.--The Transcript sums
up the Eastern situation as follows
Is Turkey to be robbed Of all OF her
European possessions by the use OF the
pen rather than OF the sword. Within
a few days Bulgaria has declared her
freedom, Austria has annexed Bosnia
and Herzegovina Crete has announced
her union with Greece; Montenegro has
severed the bond that bound her to
Austria under the Berlin treaty; the
Arnauts, the leading clans OF Albania,
are reported to have published decla.
ration Of independence; in fact no di-
vision of Turkey M Europe save Adrian
ople and crushed and bleediRg Mace.
donia has been so poor as 20 do Turkey
reverence, what are you going TO do
about itl' is in effect the answer of
Bulgaria, Austria and the Others to the
protests against their violations of the
treaty of Berlin And sure enough
what is Europe going to do about it?
Bulgaria will not return 10 the Turkish
bonds. no matter how loose. without
shedding her blood Austria saws to
the Powers that she fayors in principle
a conference Of Europe ON the Berlin
treaty---if the program suits her.
Russia, Servia, Montenegro. Italy and
even Turkey herself are looking for
Compensation if the treaty is altered.
Servia Is fighting mad; that is, her
people are, and they demand war Mther
than submission TO Austria's annex
alton of Bosnia. The elamor of the
multitude, however. may be controlled.
The chief danger from Servia lies in the
armed bands said to be entering Bos
MIA and Herzegovina for the purpose of
starting guerilla warfare. Austria is
two or three army corps and
sending troops to the frontier to pre-
vent invasin. Bulgaria is augered at
and has telegraphed recognition of ner
meanwhile calling in the
army chief for consultation. Turekv
has despatched a feet toward Cretan
waters. but as Greece has accepted the
islands offer of union, it is likely to
find a Grecian fleet before it. Monte
negro is not satisfied with Austria's
acts and stands with Servia. Perhaps
as perilous a feature as any of the
whole situation is The reported inten
ton of the Arnauts of Albania to de.
clare their independence. If this b. !
tue and Turkey endeavors to restrain
them by force season of bloodshed
that might not be confined to the i'm
mediate region is possible On the
i hole, the situation today Is distinctly
worse than it was yesterday. England
will do well to put no obstacle in the
way of a European conference. This
,annot undo much of what mas been
lone, but is can confirm it and give it
.ome sort of status.

THE MCKINLEY MONUMENT.

The enlightened city of Springfield,

II according to his own artistic ideas,
by removing the symbolic figure and
substitutingsa bronze tablet for it; he
thinks perhaps he will also throw up
some additional stoncwork about the
base, but has not vet made up his
mind as to the details. The monument
is to be moved to make way for a
boulevard. and the now site is already
being prepared for it, even before it i
decided how il is going to be altered
Mr. Barney's only grievance against
the figure as expressed in the local
press is that it does not ''mean any
thing" so he proposes to substitute for
&c tablet bearing some facts and
dates that will mean something" The
meaning of a symbolic figure will of
course always depend to a certain de-
gree on who is looking at it. and Mr.
