SOFIA. October 1e.-The government ID
silent as sphinx. No minister will talk.
All ministerial councils are held at
Tchamkoria. in a magnificent forest. two
hours railway journey from Sofia. 1t IL
believed here that the European confer
ence will accept the fat accompli Of the
independence of Bulgaria.
1t is learned from an excellent source
that Bulgaria will refuse to pay Turkey q
large sum for capitalized tribute and the
railway in East Roumelia. 1t ia consid-
cred that the declaration OF independence
and the seizure of the railway are acts
of conquest that Turkey can dispute only
with arms in her hand. 1t Is affirmed
that Prince Ferdinand is pacific. but the
journals. even the semi-official ones. are
taking a high tone. The eight thousand
soldiers above the normal which Bulgaria
has at present under arms are costing
more than 100000 day. The time-ex-
pired men haze not been liberated and
two classes of the reservists have been
called UP.

Threatening Integrity of Empire.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. October 1e-In interviews today
Lieut.. Col Jemal and DR.. Nazim. dele
gates to Paris from the Young Turkey
party. declared that Turkey would never
accept such a program as was published
yesterday as that agreed upon by Russia,
Great Britain and France for the confer
ence on near east affairs. They said it
assailed not only the prestige of constitu-
tional Turkey. but the integrity of the
Ottoman empire.
The powers. they declared. could not
impose Ii upon the Turkish nation by
force
The delegates said further that the
compensation that was, according to the
program. to be offered Turkey was illu-
sorry. However. they felt sure that the
program published was not the last word
of the powers.

Judge Taft Cordially Welcomed
at Chattanooga.
SPEAKS IN AUDITORIUM
Would Like Southern Votes, But
Doesn't Count on Them.
DENVER PREPARES FOR BRYAN
Democrats Getting Ready a Great
Demonstration-Kern Pleased
With Prospects.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. October 49,
Judge Taft and party arrived here this
morning after an all-night run from
Louisville. The candidates first argu-
ment to southern democrats. together
with his reasons for giving the south its
first glimpse of a republican presidential
candidates. was delivered here this morning
to an audience which packed the Audi
torium--the largest hall in the city.
Judge Taft was met at the station by a
large reception committeeH composed. II
was said of as many democrats as repub-
licans.
Taft's Cordial Reception.
His reception here was characteristic OF
the extreme cordially for which the south
is noted. He was greeted with Dixie
by band before he left his car. and the
same tune was played while he was being
ushered into the Auditorium.
Judge Taft. after being introduced with
warm words of praise by H. Clay Evans,
paid his respects first to Chattanooga
which he said he did not regard as So
very far south. and for which he had a
strong friendly feeling. The judge was In
peculiarly happy mood. He walked up
and down the platform from which he
spoke with his hands behind his back, and
his sentences came easy, but with telling
force. as indicated by the laughter anp
enthusiastic responses of his audience.
Not Counting on the South.
In the course of his remarks he said
1T is quite possible that we may moi
get single electoral vote in the south
think we will get enough without it
but nothing would crafty me more thar
if 1 could enter the presidential chair
with the feeling that in the electoral vote
that put me, there was the vote of Ten
nessee and Kentucky.
The enormous industrial expansion Of
the south which has taken place since
1895, and largely under the auspices Of
republican administration. ought. it seem:
to me. to demonstrate to the thoughtful
men OF the south that their logical po
sition is In the party which makes such
prosperity possible. Right here in the cen
ter of manufacturing industries Of the
south does it need an argument to con
vince you that the protective system j:
absolutely necessary to continuance and
maintenance of your prosperity"
Judge Taft will spend the entire day
in the state. He is scheduled to speal
at Knoxville. johnson City and Bristol
but applications for many more speeche!
have been made. and II Is likely his en-
gagements will be extended.

FLEET LOST TO SIGHT
BattIeships Probably Put to
Sea to Avoid Storm.
JAPANESE PLANS UPSET

TOXIC. October 16.-Up :, 10 o'clock to-
night there has been received no addi-
tional intelligence of the progress or posi-
ton Of the American oattieship fleet. 1t
Is believed the first message Of welcome
sen. yesterday by Vice Admiral Saito.
minister Of the navy. was not received.
The announcement Of a days delay in
the arrival of the fleet. made in special
editions of all the daily papers. has
caused something akin to CONSERVATION
In Toxic and Yokohama. because Of the
necessity for wide departures from the
program Of entertainment which had been
arranged up to the last minutes detail.
Entertainment Plans Altered.
Officers Of The Japanese navy who have
taken active part in the preparations
have been in constant consultation with
Commander John A. Dougherty. the naval
attache at the American embassy.
1t has been decided to postpone the
dinner arranged by Commander-inc chief
Ijuin of the Japanese navy for Saturday
and the Full ball aboard the Mikasa

same evening. to Friday. October %. The
dinner to be given by Rear Admiral

No word has been received here from
Rear Admiral Sperry since early this

tleships we're Off Cape Shiomi. about 400
miles south OF the entrance to the har-
Dor.
Advance Vessel Expected.
The tender Yankton- preceding the
Meet. is slowly approaching Yokohama

The Yankton was last seen off Yenshiu
The weather Is cold and cloudy and the
sea is still very rough. A published re-
port to the effect that q vessel of the
fleet became separated from the others In
the storm is absolutely untrue.
The Navy Department here has been
unable to communicate with the battle
ships since this morning. 1t is supposed
that the rough weather has compelled
Admiral Sperry to take the feet away
from the dangers Of the coast and far
out TO sea. where they would be beyond
the sphere OF the wireless.
The escorting squadron. consisting Of
the cruiser Soiya and scout cruiser Ma
gami and the torpedo .gunboat Tatsuta
kan1i. will leave Yokohama tomorrow at
;ernoon to meet the American warships.
Reception Buildings Destroyed
Annoy. October 16.-A typhoon yester-
day demolished all the buildings erected
for the reception to the officers and men
Of the American battleship fleet. with the
exception OF the main reception hall.
Many stores In the town were badly
damaged. The electric lighting plant Is

BRYCE ON CITIZENSHIP.
Discusses at Yale Factors That Have
Had influence in Europe.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, October 16.-The
Rt. Hon. James Bryce, British ambassa-
dor to the United States, last night de-
livered the first lecture in the course
founded by the late William e. Dodge of
New York. The general subject was
1.-THE Hindrance OF Good citizenship" The
special topic discussed by Mr.. Bryce this
evening was Incidence as Hindrance to
Citizenship"
The lecturer began by observing that
he had hesitated to accept the invitation
to deliver this course because he thought
that the special difficulties incident to
good citizenship in America could be more
fifty and more freely handled by those
who were themselves American citizens.
However. he had been led 10 feel that
most of the difficulties were substantially
those which existed in Europe also. so
that European experience and in particu-
lar English experience might be useful to
Americans.
He proceeded to indicate several causes
which had tended in modern times to
reduce the interest of the citizen in his
functions.
One was the more indulgent temper
of our times. which takes everything and
everybody easily. Another arose from
the vast growth OF population. which
made each mans share in government
seem SO small. A third was that COM
petition with public duty of new tastes.
pursuits and interests which the more
changeful character of business. thu in
creaslng knowledge of science and liking
for art. and above all the passion for
amusement and all that is called sport
had brought.
Discussing the. forms which the duties
Of a citizen might take. and par ticularly
fighting. voting. accepting public Office.
he dwelt particularly on the neglect of
rejecting and trying to master the ques.
lions on which he was to vote. so that
the vote should be given intell!gently
There was everywhere too much reading
ana too little thinking. 1t Was no doubt
difficult for the average man in Europe
and even for a. large part OF the voters
In country where education was SO
widespread. as in New England and the
northern states generally. to find lime and
means for comprehending many public
topics.
