Powers Fear Outbreak in
Petty Balkan States May
Precipitate Struggle.
BREAKERS AHEAD
FOR PEACE PLANS
King Peter of Servia, Fearing AS
sassination, Ready to Flee
at Once.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE greatest war
danger in the Balkan situation today,
according to the consensus Of British
diplomatic opinion. is the utter lack Of
restraint among the popuiace of the
petty Balkan states pending the inter
national conference.
All the big powers are willing TO
await the action of this conference be
fore making a decisive move, but the
turbulence Of the people in Bulgaria.
Servia, and Montenegro is such that II
is feared some overt act will be COM
mitted and will precipitate hostilities.
Todays dispatches telling Of riots in
Belgrade are considered Ominous
for this reason.
The foreign office received advices
from various European capitals today
that make it-eertain that il Will re-
Quire weeks TO readjust the program
for the conference. so that it will be
agreeable 10 the powers. Unless the
peace conference In Bulgaria, Turkey,
Servia. and Montenegro gains the upper
hand quickly 1t is not believed war can
be prevented.
War Spirit in Montenegro.
Montenegro Is bristIing with the war
spirit. and has so far refused to reply
70 Austria's demand for an explanation
Of the assenbly's warlike message to
the Servian assembly. 1t is feared that
when Montenegro does answer il will
be in the form Of an armed invasion
OF Herzegovina
The Bulgarian cabinet Is now believed
to be preparing new statement to the
powers, following the announcement
Of its rejection Of the many features Of
the tentative program which will FUR
nish Turkey with a further incentive to
war. Bulgaria is willing to purchase
the Roumellan section Of the Turkish
Oriental railway, but further than this
she will not treat with Turkey
Information was received today that
while King Peter OF Servia has not vet
abdicated the throne, as was rumored
yesterday. he is holding himself in read
mess 10 flee at moments notice He
Is In constant fear of assassination.

FLEET MAY REACH
JAPAN TOMORROW
Wireless Messags Tells of
Severe Storm Weathered
Off Luzon Coast.

. TOKYO. Oct IA wireless. message
received today from Admiral Sperry.
aboard the flagship Connecticut. says
the feet will not reach Yokohama until
Sunday morning. being delayed a full
day by the storms encountered off the
north coast Of Luzon, when three days
out from Manila.
The delay probably means that the
feet viii net reach Tokyo until Tuesday,
as Yokohama is determined to have two
days for its entertainment. Every effort
will be made TO have the fleet remain at
Tokyo until Sunday, instead OF Satur-
day. IS the original itinerary called for.
= There are so many things that Tokyo
has planned TO do in honor Of the fleet
that the Curtailment OF the fleets STAY
even one day Will sadly disarTange the
program.
o. The storm encountered of Luzon Was
the worst which the feet experienced
since the cruise began, but Il weathered
1t without serious injury. Two sailors
were washed overheard, one Of them

AuStianS in Belgrade
Attacked by SerDianS

BELGRADE, Oct T7.-Servian mobs.
burning with resentment toward Aus
tria, added fuel to the war flames to-
day by attempting to lynch the local
correspondent of the Vienna Neu Frele
Presse, and attacking a number Of Aus
trian residents. The police rescued the
correspondent after he had nearly been
killed by the mob. Many Austrian resi-
dents are now housed In the Austrian
embassy, which is under a heavy guard.
Others have armed themselves and bar
ricaded their homes.
The entire city IS in turmoil and
clashes are reported in a dozen different
sections
The police and troops have been or
dered 10 protect the Austrian residents

CUT DEPARTMENT
ESTIMATES DOWN
Orders From Roosevelt Car
ried Out-No Raises
Are in Sight.

As the result OF the specific instruc-
tons given to the members Of the Cabl-
net ~ the President, the department es-
Inmates. now in the hands OF the Score
tary Of the Treasury, have been held 70
rcck-bottom proportions.
The President directed that, so far as
possible, the estimates be confined TO
present statutory positions. and that no
more new positions than absolutely nee
essary be estimated for. and that no
salary increases be recommended.
BY the terms OF the law, the estimates
must be filed with the Secretary Of the
Treasury net later than October Is The
Secretary, in turn, IS charged with the
preparation Of the book Of estimates for
transmission TO Congress.
Show Slight Increase.
The estimates have all been received
by Secretary Cortelyou, and 1t is IN
derstood that they show but a slight
Increase over the amount appropriated
for last year.
This means that Government en-
ployes who have been living In the ex-
pectstion Of having a hundred or more
added 10 their salary viii be disap-
pointed. so far as the next session OF
Congress IS concerned
II IS understood that the President
was induced 10 take the action he did
toward retrenchment by the increasing
deficit in the treasury balances
The depression IN business has ma
terially affected the postal revenues,
and the deficit for the present fiscal
year gives promise OF showing a decid-
ed increase.
Situation Serious.
In the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. the officials are threatened with
a serious situation. The great slump
IN the foreign immigration has cut the
revenue OF the department to a very
serious extent, and II has been a prob
lem with the Secretary Of the depart
ment as TO how he will be able 70 make
both ends meet this year.
The immigration service is largely
supported by fees from immigrants, and
the sudden decrease in the business of
the past few months, left the officials
wholly u.prepared for the emergency.
An effort has been made by Secretary
Straus to recOup the expenditures in
part by eliminating a part OF the i'm
migration force at the various stations
but even this saving has not been suf-
hcient to pull the service through, and
II IS yet a moOted question as to what
VIII be done IN the matter.

Traders Doubt Success
Of Balkan Conference

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Stock exchanges
all over Europe are today rejecting the
pessimistic outlook as to the success Of
the Balkan conference. The London
market has slumped slowly but steadily
since II became certain that both Aus
tria and Bulgaria would reject the terms
OF the proposed program and that Ger
many would stand by Austria in the
latter's every contention.
Continental bOUrses report the same
depression.

indictment will be prosecuted is not
known at present While in St Louis
