BULGARIAN ARMY !
 TAKES THE FIELD

Sofia, Oct. lt-Turkey, within three days, must recognize the indspen- dence of Bulgaria or war will follow. Such Is the manifesto issued today, and with 1t come orders for the Bull garian army to prepare to at once take the field. The army will not wait for Turkey to decide but is even now making preparations to mob elize, and it is declared from official sources that unless Turkey complies with the demand for recognition hostilities will begin on the moment.
 As yet King Peter of servia has held out against the demands of his subjects, and war has not been de- clared between Servia an Austria, although every hour brings affairs closer to a crisis. Every power in Europe, other than those immediately involved, is working night and day to bring about peaceful adjustment of the difficulties. So far, delay has been the only advantage obtained and it is feared that all negotiations will be to no avail.

TWO HUNDRED MEN
 ARE BURIED ALIVE

Vienna, Oct. 1.-Two hundred men are entombed in the Koening mine near here and there is little hope that oven one of them will escape. The scene around the mine is indescribable. Many of the men are married and their wives and children are assemb- led at the upper workings imploring that something be done to save, those imprisoned hundreds of feet under ground.
 The calamity comes as the, result of an explosion of gas, and the mine ohlcials are of the belief that great number of those under ground are dead as s,rssult of the fire now rag ing in the lower workings. Whether or not this be SO, 1t Is impossible to take sny steps towsrd effecting a res cue as the fire has cut off all approach to that section of the mine wherein the mon are entombed. It may be necessary to flood the mine to extin- guish the fire, but this will not be done until after 1t Is certain that those imprisoned have died. .>l

MISS BENEDICT |S
 NOW EXPLAINING

Asserting that she was misquoted somewhat in the published story of her address delivered before the Se- attle Ministerial Association, Miss Mabel Benedict has attempted to set herself right by sending to the Seat tie papers statements in which she tries to tell 'just what did say" In the P-I of October 2, Miss Benedict, asked for an expression of opinion concerning the statement of l.. V. Ray, assistant district attorney, in which he defends the sailors of the revenue cutter service, expresses surprise that the official should deny the existance of conditions akin to those she described.
 In her remarks anent the Ray statement. Miss Benedict dwells up on the horrors consequent upon turn ing "600 or 600 men ashore at one time" and says that any one with the least imagination can picture the condition of the native women under such circumstances. Then she says:
 My object in speaking as have done was not to make an attack on the sailors, but to enlist the sympa- thieb of our young men of the Young Mems Christian Association to such an extent thst they might be pre- vailed upon to take up mission work among the sailors up there.'
 Miss Benedict proceeds to declare thet she delivered her address at the expressed wish of the officers of the cutter service, who, she says are doing all in their power to better the condition of the native women. At the same time Miss Benedict insists that 1t is from the men of the revenue cutter service that comes the great est trouble.
 In letter addressed to The Times under date of October 1, Miss Bene- dict says that she did not make the statement that the officers are not much better than the men, and that she did not say that it was necessary for the teachers of the mission to protect themselves with guns. The rest of the letter is devoted to en- larging upon the "horrible condi- tions" existing to the westward, so far as the native women are con- ceFned.

Here is Champ Clsrk's defense of humor, if 1t needs one:
 '"The dry-as-dusts solemnly asssy. crate that humor never did any good. Now, let's see. How did 'private' John Allen of Mississippi get to con. gress? Joked himself in. One bit of humor sent him to Washington, @ national lawmaker. Opposing him for the congressional al nomination was the Confederate General Tucker. They met on tho stump, General Tucker closed one of his speeches as follows:
 " Seventeen years ago tonight, my fellow citizens, after hard fought battle on wonder hill, bivouscked under youder clump of trees. Those of you who remember as do the times that tried mems souls will not, hope, forget their humble servant when the primaries shall be held.'
 That was a strong appeal In those days, but John raised tho general at his own game. My fellow citisens,' he said, what General Tucker says to you about bivouacking under yon. der clump of trees is true. It Is alec true, my fellow citizens, that was vedette picket and stood gusrd ovor him while he slept. Now then, fel- low cirizens, all you who were gsner. als and had privstes to stand over you while you slept vote for General Tucker, and all of you who wore pri- yates and stood guard over tho gen. erals while they slept vote for Private John Allen.' The people caught on, took John at his word and sent him to congress, whore he stsyod until the world was filled with his renovn. 2, --Ex.

FAIR ACTRESS IN
 BANKRUPTCY COURT

New York, Oct. 15-Edna Wallace Hopper, the dainty little actress who at one time was the wife of De Wolf Hopper. the comedian. spent e trying forenoon today, trying to convince the court that she is entitled to possession of many diamonds, automo- piles and other trinkets presented to her by A. O. Brown, head of the bankrupt brokerage firm that opera ted under his name. The creditors beleive that the gifts presented to Miss Hopper were purchased with money that was theirs and that these same gifts should rightfully be sold to help defray the debts of the defunct firm; hence the necessity of dragging Miss Hopper into the bankruptcy court.
 Miss Hopper accounted for the generosity of Brown by declering that she is his promised wife, and she expressed the opinion that such gifts as have by Brown been be- slowed upon her, are no more than woman might expect from her af- hanced. By no means does Miss Hopper see anything extraordinary in the fact that a man in the financial position she supposed Brown to oc- cupy should give his bride-to-be a touring car and a run-about; dia- mond sunbursts are, under the cir cumstances to be expected as a mat ter of course.
 The lawyers for the creditors fai to agree with Miss Hopper, and they asked her many embarrassing ques- tions but without, to any outward appearance, embarrassing her; she is engaged to Brown and ell else matters not. Also she has the gems and the automobiles, but for how long is question.

CAMPAIGN IN THE OPEN.

While the campaign against the
present city administration is drift
1ng and shifting along on the
grounds of uncertainty, the BUSH
ness interests of the city are grow
ing interested and express the senti-
ment that inuendo should cease and
that for the good of the community
the fight should be made in the open
on specific charges.
The publicity given the situation
II such as to cast cloud over Lew
1ston, especially where the issues
are not known nor understood. be-
cause the opponents are fighting be-
hind cover The first line of attack
appeared to be concentrated on the
mayor, but the charges made rather
involved the council, and the next
move of the Switchboard asked for
the recall of certain members.
The mayor was attacked because
he controlled members, but these
members were to be left in and
Others elected who would shift the
control. In the uncertainties of the
situation only one thing is clear and
that is that the city of Lewiston
and it's material interests are being
injured by such form of campaign
IL there is anything the matter with
Lewiston, let it be known. Let in
uendo cease and priss,t. grievance
be buried.
