SITUATION COMPLICATED.
More Pessimtstic Feeling Regarding
Balkan Trouble.

London, Oct. 9.--More pessimistic
feelings prevail here with regard to
the possible early settlement of the
Near Eastern question. The demands
of the Cretans for annexation to
Greece and the protest of the Servian
government against the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina have intro
duced further difficulties. These, it is
believed, will assuredly be finally
overcome by the British government,
but they are delaying the negotiations.
Great Britain has no objection to the
annexation of Crete to Greece at the
proper time, if the Cretans so desire,
but she considers that the moment
chosen to bring about this change Is
inopportune and she will oppose it.
With regard to Servia the foreign
Office has just received the Servian
note of protest and has not had time
to consider it. Servia, like the other
Balkan states, has just cause for COM
plant, but British officials do not take
a serious view of the reported threats
of precipitate war between Servia and
Bosnia and Herzegovina.

La Toilette Decides to Issue Weekly
Publication.

Madison, Wis, Oct. o. United
States Senator La Toilette is to start
a Commoner. 1t will not be called the
Commoner, however, and, in fact, the
name, if decided upon, has not been
made public. The announcement of
the senator's intention was made by
him in person in the following state
ment which he gave out:
"The increasing demands upon me
for addresses and for such printed
matter on representative government
as l furnish for public distribution
have impressed me with the belief
that / should establish a weekly pa
per, published primarily in support OF
government by the people.
with assured support | shall pro-
ceed at once with the regular publica-
tion of a weekly magazine, devoted to
the public interest upon lines broad
enough to appeal to the progressive
people of the entire country. | shall
print the records of public officials
and political parties on vital ques-
tions. / shall discuss men and meas
ures impartially and fearlessly.
with the assistance of able writer's
and correspondents I will furnish
readers summary of important news,
digest of proceedings in congress,
report of the progress made in the
struggle for self-government in cities
and states and timely, we'll considered
contributions and editorial discussion
upon economic, financial and social
questions. The paper will deal not
only with these problems, but as wide
ly as possible with other questions OF
human interest"

THIRTEEN PERSONS
LOSE THEIR LIVES
Big Grain Elevator at RichfOrd,
VT, ExpIodes.

Richford, VT, Oct. 9.-The large
grain elevator owned jointly by the
Canadian Pacific and the Boston and
Maine railroad exploded, killing twelve
men and one woman and injuring an
other woman probably fatally.
The explosion blew off the entire
roof of the building, scattering tim
bers in all directions, and almost in.
stantly flames burst out all over the
structure. Twenty-one men were en-
ployed in the building and twelve per-
ished in the explosion or the fire fol
lowing. All lived in Richford.
Mrs. John Jellfore, who was walking
with a companion along the Canadian
Pacific track close to the elevator, was
burned to death and an unknown wo-
man who was with her was burned sc
seriously that her life is despaired of.
The total loss is estimated at 100000.

FRANCE REMAINS FIRM.
international Conference Only Way to
Settle Trouble.

Paris, Oct. 9.-France continues to
insist energetically that an interna-
tional conference is the only solution
of the Balkan crisis. She says such
a congress Is made imperatively nee
essary by Turkeys appeal to the pow
erS.
A fiat denial is given here to the
statements that the movement for a
conference has received check. 1t
Is stated positively that Great Britain
already has agreed to this idea in
principle and no doubt is entertained
but that the divergence of views be-
tween Russia and Great Britain as to
the programme to be discussed would
be recOnciled as soon as NJ. Iswolsky,
the Russian foreign minister, reaches
London.
1t is now practically certain Russia
will issue the invitations to this con
ference.
The matter of inviting the United
States has not been considered, as
treaty and as ii is assumed that her
traditional policy will make her pre-
fer not to enter a strictly European
conference.
Official advices received here from
points In the Balkans are more favor
able In one respect, but less SO in an
| other. From Belgrade comes the as
surance that the present effervescent
will not go to the point of deciara-
| tion of war, but from Sofia there has
come confirmation Of the report that
Bulgaria has made telegraphic de-
mand upon the porte for the recogni.
tiOn of her independence.

Samos is a Greek island and pays an
annual tribute to Turkey.
The Greek minister to Turkey pre-
sented to the porte communication
from his government announcing that
the people of Crete had spontaneously
proclaimed the union of that island
with Greece. He assured the Turkish
government that Greece was not re-
sponsible for the proceedings of the
Cretans and expressed the hope that
this action would not disturb the pres
ent friendly relations between the
two powers. 1t is feared here that
this hope can hardly be realized.

New York, Oct. "a party of "spe-

touring cars along West Fifty-seventh

first fatality of the taxicab strike.
Robert Quayle, a fourteen-year-old
boy, returning from night school, was
shot in the head and is dying.
Other bullets whizzed dangerously
close to the heads of pedestrians and
residents of the street. There was a
veritable panic, scores of persons run

The cars containing the special Off.

APPEALS FOR JUSTICE.
Text of Servia's Protest to the
Powers.

Belgrade, Oct. 9.-The Servian gov.
ernment, in it's proclamation protest
ing against the annexation by Austria
Hungary of Bosnia and Herzegovina
expresses the hope that the powers
will respond to the appeal addressed
to them for protection and justice.
This new and fragrant violation OF
the Berlin treaty" the proclamation
declares, has been effected unilater
ally by force mature, to satisfy selfish
interests and without regard to the
srievous blow thus dealt to the feel
irgs, interests and rights of the Ser
Wan people.
''Servia cannot, in this present case
obtain full satisfaction other than by
the complete restoration of the situa
tion with regard to Bosnia and Her
zegovina as established by the treaty
of Berlin. If this solution is regarde
as absolutely impossible the ServiaT
government, appealing to the sense O!
equity of the powers, demands CORE
spending compensation for Servia. The
guarantees indispensable to her exist
ence as an independent state must be
maintained and the general condition
of existence assured Servia by the
treaty of Berlin must, at least in {
measure, be restored"
Continuing, the proclamation points
out that the rights accorded Servis
under this treaty are incomparably in
ferior to the sacrifices imposed upoI
her Servia has scrupulously oh
served the terms of the treaty. Nc
notifications to the advantage of Ser
via have been made, whereas there
have been number of modification:
to the advantage of other powers.
