we learn the tragedy of the heroine's
life when the play begins. 1t is a trag-
edy which one can see must inevitably
involve both herself and her family
as an ultimate catastrophe. Every
means is used to bury this tragedy in
oblivion, but in vain. knowledge OF
the fact spreads and precipitates, one
situation after another until the final
explosion can be no longer averted. or
course, in the mere announcement OF
Blanche Walsh's name, the play-goinS
public knows that no f1ippant or trivial
play is to be offered, but even Miss
Walsh has not hitherto made quite
such radical departure as she is now
doing with Mr.. Gordin's play and she
has made no move that has been an
ticipated with keener interest than this.
Lillian Russell in "Wildfre."
Lillian Russell. who will be seen in
Topeka for the first time at the Grand
on Saturday night, was undoubtedly
the most conspicuous figure at the
Saratoga race track during the past
summer and her devotion to the sport
of kings" is well known. What more
fitting than that this new queen OF
light comedy should appear in a racing
play, and for that reason perhaps Geo.
II. Broadhurst and George v. Hobart
have fashioned for Miss Russell new
comedy with the great popular sport
as its theme. The new play is named
'sWildfire'' and its scenes are laid at
Hampstead Long Island, among the
smart racing set. Manager Joseph
Brooks has provided handsome
scenic equipment for ''Wildfire'' and
notably strong supporting company Tor

IFS many characters are carefully de-

popular with Topekans and as a gem

of a high order. Richard st. Vratn,
who plays the leading roles, is an
actor of excellent abilities and mas a
fine stage presence. MilIy Freeman,
Maude Phelps and Violet Barney,
three of the women in the company,
not only do their work well but are
good to look at and the costumes they
wear are wonderfully fine. Taken all

have been presented here. and that Is
saying good deal.
"Big Hearted Jim.'' a play set on
the Montana frontier of twenty years
ago was presented at the Grand last
night. It's me1odrama in which
there is injected quite a bit of good
comedy and is far and away better
theatrical production than usually

or three members of the cast are
capable of really good work and espe-
cially is this true of Harry J. jackson,
who plays the part of the hero, and
Bertha Julian, who plays the heroine.

scanned to greatly please the audiences
which had gathered to see 1t.

MEDIAToRs DISAPPOINTED.
Demands of Lynn Lasters Setback to
Hopes for Arbitration.

Lynn, Oct 5.-The effort Of the Lynn
Board Of Trade to settle the strike of
the lasters and lasting machine work.
ers by arbitration, received a temper
airy setback tonight when the boards
committee learned that as a condition
of returning to work pending arbitra-
ton the lasters would demand that the
union be recognized in all factories
and that the blacklist be abolished.
The Board of Trades committee had
hoped for a speedy settlement of the
difficulty by arbitration as it was
thought the strikers could be induced
to return to work pending an adjust
ment of the trouble in the Caunt fac
tory, where the strike. which is entire
ly sympathetic as far as most Of the
lasters are concerned had it's origin.
The attitude of the agent of the last
ers, however, put a damper on these
hopes.
Efforts to bring about an under
standing will not be relinquished in
spite of today's disappointment. To-
morrow the State Board of Arbitra-
tion which has been invited to Lynn
by Mayor Porter, is expected to begin
hearing at 930 when representatives
Of the manufacturers and the union
will have an opportunity to state their
case.

which has governed the situation in the
near east for the past so years.
The action taken today by Bulgaria
and Austria Hungary is practically
condemned in all official and diplomatic
circles of London but at the same time
the British government is prepared 70
cooperate in any paciticatory steps
which may be decided upon by the
powers concerned. The main idea is the
pre- vention of d warlike outbreak.
News no less interesting than the act
Of Prince Ferdinand is brought il The
Vienna dispatches to the effect that
Austria Hungary has practically de-
cded to annex the occupied provinces
of Boznia and Herzegovina. Emperor
Francis Joseph has addressed an auto
graph letter to the heads of ali states
in " hich he explains the necessity of
altering the political status Of these
provinces. This communication is being
delivered today. Prices on the bourses
of Europe have fallen sharply on these
two political developments.

settlement will be a splendid test of the
value of the recent understanding of

entente paved the way to similar agree
ments between the other nations How
Constantinople received the news of
this dismo mberment of parts of the
Turkish Empire is not yet fully known
here.
That Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Suzerainty over Bulgaria have been
definitely lost to Turkey is regarded as
iEcontrovertible, but if the new regime
in Turkey is willing to relinquish what
has been nothing more than legal
fiction, the change in the map of Eu-

Foreign Secretary Edward Grey re-
turned to London as soon as he learned
the important news and has been busy
ever since with q constant exchange
of kilograms with the continent. 1t is
understood that the Russian govern
ment already has intimated it's pre-
paredness to cooperate with Great
Britain in mediatory steps and France
Is counted on to take a similar course.
1t can be definitely stated that t;le Brit
ish government will advise Turkey not
to so to war, but it expects that the
present situation will demand conpen-
satory concessions and guarantees.
Count Memsdorff, the Austro- Hun
garian ambassador to Great Britain,

King Edward a copy of an autograph
letter from Emperor Francis Joseph

mitted by Great Britain to the Turk

1t is recognized officially that the
Bulgarian proclamation gravely com
plics.tcs the situation, but until the at
titude of the Sultan is known. the Ger
man government is unable to foresee
its course of action except that in nc
event will Germany bring pressure to
bear at Constantinople to influence the
decisions of the Porte.
Should the Turkish government seek
the advice of the Powers regarding
the advisability of asserting her SUI

force, Germany would not be able to
advice the Porte to go to war The
turkish army is not prepared; the
Bulgarian is ready.

ATTITUDE UNCERTAIN.
1t Is Believed That Turkey Will Call
European Conference.

Constantinople, Oct 5.-Turkey is
convinced that Austria, backed by
Germany encouraged Bulgaria to de-
clare her independence in order to
strike blow at the kaimil ministry
and compromise the new constitution,
1t is not known what steps Turke,
will take but the impression prevails
that European conference will be
held to consider the whole question.
Advices obtained in an authoritative
quarter of Sofia are to the effect that
only some of the powers supported the
British proposal for the settlement OF
the railroad question. This want of
unanimity among the powers encour-
ages Bulgaria to insist in her present
attitude.
Narna and other Bulgarian towns
are placarded with declarations that
the moment has now arrived to pro-
claim independence otherwise Tur-
key. on the strength of the treaty of

RUSSIA TAKING A HAND.
viii Propose Congress of the Powers
to Revise Berlin Treaty.

St Petersburg. Oct. Sit is announced
with authority today that Russia will
propose a congress of the powers for a
general revision of the Berlin treaty. This
is an outcome of the proclamation of tSul-
garian independence.
Russia has reason to believe that the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by
Alstria-HGngary is imminent.
No official statement regarding the re-
port that Austria-Hungaly purposes to
annex tie provinces of Bosnia and HerZe-
govina has been received from Vienna.
but such advices as have come to the for
egn office leave little doubt of Austria's
intention formally to add the occupied
province to the dual monarchy in the not
distant future.
Such single handed action by Austria
Hungary in matter affecting the interest
of all Europe cannot. in the opinion of
Russian diplomacy, be permitted. Russia
would prefer to throw open the whole
range of Balkan problems to new discus
sion. although realizing fully the danger
to the peace of Europe that such course
might involve.
The news of Russa's proposal to call
the powers together to revise the Berlin
treaty WAS given out Immediately after
the return to st. Petersburg from the
Finnish gulf of NJ Tcharykoff, acting min
lister Of foreign affairs in the absence of
NJ Tswolsky The minister submitted the
Balkan developments to Emperor Mich
olas and received the imperial sanction to
this proposal
The news that Bulgaria had proclaimed
10,
was not received in St. Petersburg until
late this afternoon. The Bulgarian dipo-
matte agent had no information on the
subject. In authoritative circles no effort
is made to conceal the gravity of the
situation 1t is hoped, however that the
congress summoned by Russia will enable
Europe to tide over the crisis without the
outbreak of general confagration in the
Balkans. No decision vet has been reach.
ed as to where the congress is to be held.
hut it probably would be in st Peters,
burg.
Russian diplomacy reiterates that Bull
garia decided to take this step at the
present moment Prince Ferdinand's &C.
ton is regarded as means to an emo in
stead of the beginning of the long cher
ished dream of a greater Bulgaria. Terri
torial expansion at the expense of Turkey
cannot be permitted. The Bulgarian en-
arch recently was obliged to leave Mace
donna and becomes simply the bishop of
Sofia.
This decision to summon a congress of
the powers involves a complete change Of
front on the part of Russia. who only
last week declared her opposition to any
of the provisions Of the Ber-
lin treaty. and opens a vista of 'nomen-
tous changes in the Balkan situation
Russia will require from Austria Hmga-
ry compensatory advantages for the an
neNation Of BOSNIA and Herzegovina. but
1t is yet impossible to learn what form
this compensation will take.
There is considerable doubt as to wheth-
er the opening of the Dardanells to Rus
sian w2rShins would he advantageous to
Russia This basis of Russian policy
would he to secure better terms

LICENSE OR NO LICENSE?
Prohibitionists About Holding Their
Own in Connecticut.

New Haven, Ct, Oct. 5.-A great bat
tie was fought in about so of the towns
of Connecticut today between the tenn
pcrance forces and those who favor the
licensing of the sale of Intoxicating H.
ouors. The result cannot be accurately
told tonight as returns from towns
came in slowly. but it is evident that
so far as the number of twons kept
in the dry" column, the Prohibition
lists have about held their own. Posi-
bly, they will lose two or three towns
net, but the individual vote shows big
gains for the temperance people in the
larger towns. where it is almost a
hopeless task to overcome the license
majority.
Last year the result showed 70 Ii
cerse towns to sc no-license This
year the result promises to be about
{" license to SO no-license.
