TURKISH MINISTER'S MEET
TO PROTEST TO BULGARIA

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5.-The
council of ministers met early this
evening and were still sitting at mid
night preparing a protest which will
be submitted to Bulgaria and the pow
ers against the violation of the treaty
of Berlin.
Prince Ferdinand has telegraphed to
the Turkish government that he was
compelled to respect the VOICE Of the
nation, and hoped that friendly rela-
tions between the two countries would
continue. Turkeys reply, which is be-
ing prepared, refuses to recognize Bull
garia's independence.
A committee of the Young Turks
party is holding a session tonight at
which the situation is being reviewed.
Immediately upon receipt of the
news that Bulgarian independence had
been proclaimed, the Turkish foreign
minister summoned all the ambassa-
doris except the Austrian ambassador,
and sought their advice.
1t is the general desire of the gov
ernment to avoid war, and suggestions
have been made that a tariff war be
inaugurated against Austria and Bull
garia in the way of retaliation.
The people, however, are in a belli-
gerent mood, and may force the gov
ernment, which in it's present position
cannot afford to have the reactionaries
come to the 'front.' in taking extreme
measures.

100000 DAMAGE BY
BLAZE IN BAY CITY
[Ry Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-A fire
which started today in the coal bunkers
of the Pacific Coast company at the
foot of Beale street spread with great
rapidity to the wharf and lumber yards
adjoining and caused a loss of about
100000 before it was gotten under con-
troll.
Responding to three alarms, a large
portion of the fire department, includ-
ing two fire tugs, was soon playing
streams on the flames.
In their work of checking the fire
the firemen were materially aided by a
volunteer detachment of sailors landed
from the Italian cruiser Puglia, lying
nearby in the bay.
John Fallon, an unemployed man who
was sleeping in one of the bunkers.
was discovered in an unconscious con-
dition and removed just in time to pre-
vent him from being burned to death.
The Beale street wharf was greatly
damaged by the fire and several yes
sells lying alongside the dock were
scorched. but not seriously injured.
The big box, factory of Hobbs, Wall
81 Co. and the extensive lumber yards
of the same firm, between Bryant and
Brannan streets, were almost COM
pletely destroyed
1t is expected the fire will continue
to shoulder in the coal bunkers for
several days before it can be finally ex-
tinguished,

bration of the 225th anniversary OF the
founding of Philadelphia was ushered
in today.

delphia has planned an elaborate cele-
bration in commemoration of the found
ing of the city 225 years ago.

practically all the early history OF
the country will be shown. The old
state house. where liberty was pro-

representing the United States army
and the Pennsylvania National guard.

the affair success.
Thousands of strangers are in the
city, to be present while the historic
streets and structures again are
brought into prominence and their
past honored. For one week Philadel-
phia will don the raiment of other
days and live in the quaint atmos-
phere of her history. Not the least
important of her observances will be
those which include the Quakers, who

by every means in their power such
measures as a ship subsidy and an

was appointed to arrange for formation
of the Tri-State association.

MANIAC WITH CLUB
ATTACKS WOMEN AT
STANFORD COLLEGE
IBy Associated Press.I


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. g.
A carefully kept secret leaked out to-
day to the effect that on last Friday
evening a party of young women be-
longing to the Manteista club, an ex-
elusive young women's club on the
campus, were attacked by a lunatic
while out on picnic party in the hills
back of the university and were COM
PEELED to flee before the attacks of their
unknown assailant.
While the young women were enjoy
ing their picnic supper on the banks
of the San Franciscinto creek, near
Roble bridge, a tall, ark-complexioned
man appeared and hurled a large club
into the middle of the group, narrowly
missing one of the young women.
Upon the retreat of the picnickers the
man pursued with rocks and other
missiles, and later tried to frighten
them by setting fire to the brush along
the bank of the creek.
Realizing the danger which would
arise from the spread of this fire, the
girls organized to protect the fire, ex-
tinguishing the brush with dust. The
miscreant disappeared in the darkness.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Eleven persons
were killed, more than dozen injured
and thirty more escaped death by the
narrowest margin in an incendiary
fire which wrecked the tenement house
at 71h Mulberry street, early today.
That deliberate attempt was made
to destroy the house and its occu-
pants, the police and firemen declare
evident.
Three barrels stuffed with rubbish
soaked with oil were blazing fiercely
in the lower hall, cutting off the es-
cape of the fifty or more persons sleep
ing on the upper floors.
Some of these died in their beds,
overcome by smoke, and then caught
by the flames.
Others who had been aroused too
late fell unconscious before they could
reach a window and were burned to
death, scarcely an arms length from
safety.
MANY were injured jumping from
upper windows to the street, or by
being crushed as they fought for posi-
tions of safety on the choked fire es-
capes.

Several of the injured who were
taken to hospitals are in a critical
condition.
That so many persons were killed,
or seriously injured, was due to the
carelessness of khe inmates of the
house themselves, and their disregard
for the rules that fire escapes must be
kept clear of distractions at all times
When the frightened men and wom-
en- rushed from their rooms ahead of
the flames they found the platforms
of the fire escapes covered with debris
which could not be quickly removed.
Mothers and fathers with children In
their arms and the smoke pouring out
of the windows behind them, and the
cracking of the flames in their ears,
became panic-stricken and tossed their
children to friends in the street.
Fully a dozen children were tossed
from the second and third floors and
were caught by men standing in the
street.
The men and women were later car
ried down by firemen on ladders.

ing the others, but English diplomats
know that the conference will resolve
itself into a scramble among the powers
to get what is termed in European poll
tics "Compensating advantages" which
Austria, backed by Germany, has al
ready obtained. The official statement
issued by the British foreign office this
evening says:
Position of British
"His majesty's government cannot
admit the right of any power to alter
an international treaty without the
consent of the other parties to it, and
il therefore refuses to sanction any in
fraction of the Berlin treaty and de-
clines to recognize what has been done
until the views of the other powers are
known, especially those of Turkey.
which is more directly concerned than
any one else.'
The chances of var between Bulgaria
and Turkey are being minimized by
great Britain and France, who are
working together and who have ad-
Vised Turkey in regard to it.
Turkey apparently is disposed to fol-
low this advice, and it is believed that
if hasty action on the part of Turkey
can be prevented Bulgaria will have
difficulty in finding an excuse to bring
war.
Ferdinand Condemned
The action of Prince Ferdinand in
proclaiming the independence of Bull.
garia is condemned alike by the gov
ernments and press of Europe, but in
some quarters this is considered mat
ter of minor Importance so long as 1t
does not eventuate in war as compared
with the threatened annexation of the
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Austria Hungary.
Reports from Belgrade indicate that
SerVa has been aroused to the dan
ger point, bands of SerVians marching
in the streets OF Belgrade and shouting
for war with Austria rather than an
nexation.

more than a surprise, because for the
