RUSSIA TO TAKE
DECIDED STAND
CZAR MAY IGNORE AUSTRIAN
ANNEXATION
Parliamentary Leaders Declare Mos
COW Government Will Refuse to
Recognize Proposed Inter-
national Congress

PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.--Interest in
the Balkan situation is centered in the
positive statements of several parlia-
mentary leaders that Russia has de
termined to drop the idea of the pro-
posed international congress, and will
refuse to recognize the annexation by
Austria Hungary of Bosnia and Herze-
govina.
This information, although purport-
ing to be from official sources, Is not
entirely credited. Russia has finally
committed herself to the principle that
the question of the annexation of the
provinces may be discussed in a con-
ference OF the powers.
Austria will permit the status of Bos-
mia to be included in the program, but
only on condition that the delegates
will refrain from questioning her ac-
ton and content themselves with reg
istering the abrogation of the article
referring to his matter in the Berlin
treaty.
The foreign Office states the nego-
tiations between Russia, Austria Hun
gary and other powers on this ques-
tion, are still in progress and consid-
ers that an acceptable formula for
submission to the congress may ulti-
mately be found.
1t is difficult, however, to foresee how
satisfactory agreement may be
reached without one side or the other
withdrawing its contention.

VIZ TILLEMSTADT Nov. 1.-The
w Netherlands government fixed
W November l as the limit of time
for Venezuela to revoke the decree of
President Castro, issued on May Ia, pro-
hibiting the s-shipment of goods
for Venezuelan ports at Curacao.
President Castro has refused to re-
yoke this decree, but as yet, so far as
is known here, the Netherlands govern
ment has not decided upon definite ac-
ton.
There has been much activity here of
late, but in an interview today the gov
ernor of Curacao said Holland ought to
have assurances that Venezuela had
not revoked the decree at the last hour
of the day fixed according to the ulti-
matum before taking any active meas
ures.
He believed his government had pre-
pared for any eventuality, and he
added statement that would doubt
less be issued tomorrow announcing the
position of Holland and Venezuela and
what action it was proposed to take.
May Wait a Week
The opinion is held among naval Off
GERS here that no direct steps will be
taken within a week, and it is under
stood that the battleship Jacob Van
following her custom, for target prac-
tice. The Van Heemskerck and the
protected cruiser Friesland, which are
now in this port, still have on board the
sl1perf1uous equipments which would be
discarded in time of war.
The report is current that Captain
Snethlege who is in command of the
fleet, has been promoted to rear adj
miral.
Last evening the governor of Cura-
Gao received an important telegram
from Holland and he Immediately called
a meeting of his council and the COM
manders of the warships. Delibera-
tions were lengthy. but the result has
not been made public.
People Are Confident
The people of Curacao are confident
the ships now here will soon be REIN
forced by the battleship Hertog Hen
dirk, from the East Indies, and the
battleship De Ruijter and the cruiser
Utrecht from Holland.
The protected cruiser Gelderland also
is in these waters.
For the past few days there has been
a rumor here that Holland would send
the governor of Surinam Dutch Gull
anal, to Venezuela, as it's confidential
agent, in response to the proposal of
President Castro that he would treat
with Holland with, regard to the ques-
representative, but no confirmation of
this can be had and it's truth is doubt

that Venezuelans believe that The
Netherlands government is preparing

AIDING CORPORATIONS
Republican Candidate for Vice Presl-
dent When Chairman of House
Committee Proved His
Trust Tendencies

CHICAGO, Nov. flames S. Sher-
man. Republican candidate for vice
president, became known as an advo-
cate in congress of railroad combina-
tions and mergers at least ten years
ago.
on April IS. 1898, Mr.. Sherman. as
chairman of the house committee on
Indian affairs, reported bill to allow
railroads operating wholly or in part
in the Indian Territory to lease other
roads and operate them.
The measure appeared harmless, and
MIR. Sherman had read a report upon
the bill which he had prepared and
which report said that the bill con-
tanned a clause providing that the pro-
posed law should not apply to parallel
or competing lines"
In the rush of legislation members
accepted the statement which Mr.
Sherman made in his report as to the
prohibition of combination of parallel
or competing lines.
After the bill had been passed Rep
resentative Todd of Michigan made the
discovery that the prohibition against
competing or parallel lines was not in
the bill, although Mr.. Sherman in a
printed report had stated to the house
that such a provision was contained in
the measure.
Mr.. Sherman was thus caught in the
act of attempting TO get through a
railroad merger bill while the members
of the house We're not looking.
When discovery was made Mr.. Sher-
man at first protested against a recon-
sideration If the bin so as to include
the language which he had omitted. but
was finally forced to yield.
His omission was clearly in the In
terest Of railroad mergers. but he was

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.--At both Re
publican and Democratic headquar-
ters in this city today it was an
nounced that the work of the re-
spective organizations in the campaign
of 1908 was at an end.
National Chairman Frank H. Hitch
cock of the Republican committee and
National Chairman Norman Il. Mack
of the Democratic national committee
are going home to vote and will return
to this city Tuesday afternoon to re-
ceive returns at headquarters. Mr..
Hitchcock goes to West Newton, Mass,
and Mr.. Mack to Buffalo.
Messrs. Mack and Hitchcock adhered
to the forecasts given out on Friday
and Saturday, the Democratic chair
man contending that Mr.. Bryan VIII

announced himself as positive in his be-
lief that Mr.. Taft will have S25 votes in

The above emphatic statement was
made by Chairman Mack tonight. Con-
tinuing, he said:

falsehood and trust Doodle, Mr.. Bryan
will carry Ohio. Illinois and Indiana;
though in those three states the Re
publican leaders are desperately resort
ing to every conceivable political lie
and artifice.
Even doodle will not save New YORK
for Taft, and on this score we are not
worrying Taft himself is hopeless.
I'VE have every reason to believe,
and have charged on reliable PROOF,
that the Republican bosses deal WIN
the Standard OIL company, whereby the
$29,O0O000 fine in the Indiana Oil prose-
cutions would be squared" If the trust
supported Taft, has resulted IN the
STANDARD Oil company and John d.
Rockefeller contributing huge sum
in support of Taft.
",The people of Indiana are SO famil-
lar with the predatory evils OF the OIL
trust Through the exposures DeIore
Judge Lands, that this Taft-trust zeal
is almost sure to offset even the trust
Doodle in Indiana and so save the state
for Bryan.
Tuesday Tells the Tale
ut is Bryans today, but only Tues
day will tell the tale, when we are
informed a huge sum will be spent
there in the interest of Taft. How the
money is spent can be well imagined
by the voters.
''It will be observed that the Repup-
lican prophets insert many provisos In
their claims for success, but the fact
remains that the most conservative as
well as all non partisan forecastcrs de-
clare the labor vote, combined with
large share of the southern prohibition
vote, a dissatisfied Republican vote
which objects to Taft though it would
have supported Roosevelt-and some
Socialist and Independence league
votes, are going for Bryan and will
greatly increase his majority.
scThese conservative and non-partisan
forecasters concede Bryan's election;
that is, they concede gains in the Re
publican strongholds which assure his
election for the reason that Bryan has
had no losses to speak of in any sec
tion of the United States, while the Re
publicans have lost in many sections,
most notably in labor ranks and in the
south, where the negro votes, on ac-
count of the Brownsville affair, Will
also increase the Bryan majority"

Several Politicians Are Declared to

and Trickery
Especial to The Herald.l

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Republican pa
pers have announced with more or less
display that w. d. Ryan, secretary of
the United Mine Workers, would sup
port Judge Taft for the presidency.
There are something like a nalf doz-
en- labor leaders of prominence who
have turned their backs on President
Gompers, John Mitchell and other Off
Gals of the American Federation OF
Labor in their decision to support "A
Democratic national ticket.
The reputation of the cause of labor
by these trusted representatives or that
organization has given much comfort
to Republicans, but this desertion of q
great cause has had the effect of MAX
ing workingmen more solid in the sup
port of Mr.. Bryan.
The men in high places who have
deserted the cause of labor have been
approached in different ways.
The president has captured some with
Office and others with fiattery, while
trust interests have enlisted their
share.
Has Him on the Payroll
Mr.. Ryan of the United Mine Work
ers has an heir on the payroll of con-
gress who holds his position by reason
of the appointive power of Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon, the arch enemy, OF
labor, and who more than any other
man is responsible TOT tne ueASdL u
labor's legislative program.
Every month Mr.. Ryan's son draws a
fat check from the federal government
as an employe in the postoffice bureau
of the house of representatives. The
defeat of Speaker Cannon and the elec-
tion of a Democratic house would mean
the removal of the son of the secretary
of the United Mine Workers from the
federal payroll.
Mr.. Taft's following in union labor
circles is largely Of the Ryan type, and

and a skirt were found beside her,
while she clasped a shilling in her
hand.
She remembers absolutely nothing
of how she came to be where she was
found. She seemed in good health
on the previous night, but was gone
from her home when the maid went
to call her in the morning. 1t appears
that she walked no fewer than three
miles while fast asleep.
How she got out of the house is a
mystery, as the door was found locked
in the morning. Miss Parker was
very short-sighted, yet must, in her
sleep, have climbed a wall which she
would have found difficulty to scale
in the day time and in possession OF
every faculty. Her mind is a com
plete blank for the entire night.

loved the time the courts met, on eth

interesting people to the Bon Ami, al
though not often the judge. His COM
ing for supper was most unusual
honor, and it was due to Louise, who
had playfully insisted. He had hum

must be confessed; for he had deeply
worn habit of making straight for the
hotel from the station and there re-
naming until Hank Bruebacher, liv-

usurp his prerogative of driving his
honor to and from Kemah when court

less familiarity the following morning
to make his honor cognizant Of the
fact that he, Hank, was ready. But
he had come to the Bon Ami because
Louise wished it, and he reflected
whimsically on the establishment,
amounting almost to horror, on the
face of his good landlord at the Vel

fact that he was not and had not been
