EUROPE FEARS WAR.
Trouble Between Turkey and BuI.
garia Causes General Alarm.

LONDON, Oct. s. Turkey is not in
clined towards war with Bulgaria,
and it Is believed that she will call .
conference of the powers to consider
the matter of Bulgaria's proclama.
tion of independence.
Indications from the other capitals
OF Europe are that the powers will In
tervene to prevent hostilities in the
near east. All the chancelories of
Europe are busy today with efforts to
discover q modus vivendi which will
result in the maintenance of peace.
The proclamation of Bulgarian In
dependence had been Immediately pre-.
ceded by conflict between Bulgaria
and Turkey concerning control of the
Oriental railroad ia eastern Rumolia.
Bulgaria took possession of this line
In September because of strike and
started to operate 1t with her military
forces. When the strike had been set
tied she refused to return control to
Turkey. which action led to a sharp
conflict between the two states.
In spite of the peaceful endeavors
of the powers concerned in this near
eastern difficulty the military forces of
both Turkey and Bulgaria are prepar.
ing for eventualities. The Turkish
army is stranger numerically, but the
Bulgarian army Is in a better con.
dition of efficiency.

Rate Law Is Upheld.

Ross, Morrow and Gilbert, sitting in

decided against the application of the
Southern Pacific company for an in
junction against the interstate COM
merce commission to prevent the put.
ting into effect of the reduced rate
on rough lumber shipments to San
Francisco from the northwest. The
decision is therefore in favor of the
government.
The decision upholds the authority
of the commission to fix freight charges
upon what it considers Just and
equitable basis and sustains in its
direct application the most important
clause OF the rate law, namely, the
right of the commission to relieve
special shippers when in its judg.
ment they are entitled to such relief

Both New York and Indiana are

Some of these states are claimed as
certainly repu blican by the leaders in
that party, while others are just as

OF the American government in regard

situation, the officials say, that with

not tolerate the interference of the

voice in complications of develop.

BRYAN TO ROOSEVELT,
Democratic Candidate Replies To
Presidents Recent Letter.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, Sept. 3O.-"I
have lived in vain If your accusa ations
lose me single FRIEND" said W. J.
Bryan in letter addressed to Presi.
dent Roosevelt, replying to that OF
the president written Sunday last.
Mr.. Bryan points to his record and
declares that it is q sufficient answer
to the insinuations of the chief ex.
ecutive that he is in sympathy with or
controlled by the trusts.
Reverting to the charges against
Governor Haskell, MIR. Bryan says
that the president, in response to
his request, did not deign to suggest q
tribunal which could determine those
charges, but instead proceeded to pass
judgment on him and he informs
the president that the occupant of that
high Office cannot deny to the humblest
citizen the right to protect his repu.
tation and vindicate his name in the
courts. Taking up the presidents
assertion that certain trust magn ates,
fearing prosecution under Mr.. Taft,
will support the democratic candid ate,
Mr.. Bryan charges that the president
worded his statement in such way as
to claim the support OF all the trust
magn ates, land yet put it on the ground
that they are supporting your party
for patriotic reasons rather than from
the promotion Of selfish interests. :"
Such au argument, he contends, is
ingenious but not sound. In proof of
the fact that he would not be control.
led by the trusts, Mr.. Bryan says that
If elected he will 'enforce the anti.
trust laws, not spasmodically and in
termittently, but persistently and
consistently"
