MORE HOPEFUL
OUTLOOK AGAIN
Conference of the Powers Ex-
pected to Settle Trouble
in the Balkans.

London. Oct 1S.-The cloud which low
cred over the near eastern situation on
Saturday has been dispersed, leaving a
more hopeful prospect for the preserva-
ton of peace Official denials of the mo-
bilization rumors from both Turkey and
Bulgaria are held TO indicate the success
of the diplomatic efforts of the western
powers in Constantinople and Sofia to-
ward settlement of difficult problem
and. although 1t becomes daily more clear
that the agreement entered into by Sir
Edward Grey. British foreign secretary.
and NJ IswolslIy. Russian foreign minis
ter. concerning the proposed conference
of the powers Is not acceptable to Aus
tria or Turkey. and that prolonged and
delicate negotiations must precede this
assembling of the conference, the belief
in the best informed quarters still is
that peace will be unbroken.
The Turkish ambassador and the Bull
sariau charge d'affaires today emphati-
caIlx- denied the report that war was i'm
minent between the two countries. The
latter said:
II have positive information that nc
more troops are being modified in Bull
garia at this time than would have been
modified if no dispute with Turkey had
occurred
government has not departed in the
Slightest degree from the waiting policy
which IN has followed since the delicate
situation was thrust upon II, and has
taken no steps of provocative character. "

Administration Throws a Sop
to the Sheepmen on Eve
of Election.
lsnecial to- ma Heraldl

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1S.-Following
the statement made year ago at the
meeting of the National Wool Growers
association in Salt Lake City, Clifford
Pinchot. forester and A. F. Potter, In
charge of grazing in national forests, have
announced a reduction of 10 to 10 per
cent in the rates for sheep grazing on
national forests, to take effect the COM
ing season. Changes in market cOndi-
tons which have made the sheep business
less profitable this past year. especially
the greatly reduced prices offered for
wool and the depreciation in the value of
mutton. are partly responsible for this
reduction In 1907. when promises for the
reduced schedule were made. 1t was with
the understanding between the stockmen
and forest service that the grazing rates
lions IN the market which would nat
urally occur from year to year, but would
apply only in cases of radical or I'M
usual changes
The new schedule does not affect the
cases where a minimum charge of cents
per head has already been allowed or a
specially low rate has been fixed on ac-
count of some local condition. In most
cases the revised fees Will mean the re-
duction of about ! cent per head. In fix
ing the rates for grazing of different
kinds of stock on forest growth, demand
for use of range by owners of differen,
kinds of stock. needs of homesteader and
profits of business. have been taken into
consideration

he did not know which child he carried,

Votes for working women mean short

such is our practice today in an increas-

all workers would DO more to reduce tu-

day.
Working women have the working day
of eight hours only in the four states in
which they vote-ColOradO, Idaho. titan

Eight hours for men, ten for chill

TWELVE NEW CASES.

cholera and five suspects have been dis
covered within the last forty-eight hours.
The average number of cases reported is
still running about five daily, the affected
area being confined to two districts OF the
city. No Americans have been stricken
for the past fortnight.
General conditions in the city are re-
garded as being greatly improved. and
navy regulations are less rigorous, the
men being given restricted short liberty
though required to bring their drinking
water ashore with them in canteens.
