NATIONS AWAIT
BERLIN MEETING
BALKAN SITUATION DEPENDS
ON CONFERENCE
Rumors in Russia Are That NJ.
lswolsky May Be Retired for
Failure of His
Policy
rRx Associated press.1

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 23.-Thc
fate of the Russian proposal to re-knit
the broken strands of the Balkan
agreements by means of conference
of the powers, rest, 1t is realized here.
upon the outcome of negotiations
which NJ Iswolsky, the Russian for
eign minister, will open tomorrow in
Berlin.
According to press dispatches re-
ceived here, the impression is gaining
ground in several of the European
capitals that the proposed conference
will be abandoned on account of the
difficulties in the way of formulating
a program, but the highest authort-
ties of the foreign office here do not
share this view, and point to the OBJ
vious impossibi1ity of settling breaches
of international compacts by any 9TH
er method than an international con-
ference.
Separate preliminary agreements
such as the Turko- bulgarian and the
Austro- Turkish, they say, are con-
sidered highly desirable, but they do
not obviate the necessity for interna-
tional sanction.
The reports of the impending re-
tirement of M. Iswolsky on account of
the alleged failure of his policy have
taken a definite form in diplomatic
circles here, and the Pan-SlaVlSt news
papers openly refer to him as polite
ally defunct.
Denies Report
A high official, closely in touch with
Emperor Nicholas, and the foreign Of
flee, however, has authorized denial
of the reports, and also of rumor
to the effect that there is friction be-
tween M. Tcharykoff, acting foreign
minister. and Iswolsky.
This official added there was no rea-
son for Mr.. Iswolsky's retirement at
a moment when, by a series of con-
ferences in all the important foreign
capitals he had strengthened and con-
centrated Russia's foreign policy.
Prince Ouroussoff. the aged ambas-
sador at Vienna, who is widely blamed
for his failure to inform the govern
ment here promptly of Austrias in
tention in regard to San Jak and the
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
will, however, be sacrificed.
According to the official information
he is turning over his duties tempo
rarily to charge d'affaires on account
of illness, but there is little expecta-
ton that he will return to the post.
The report published by the Novoe
Vremya that Prince Ouroussoff will
be succeeded by Count Witte has not
been confirmed. NJ. Bachmetieff, for
mer Russian minister to Japan, is said
to desire the appointment.

cerned," the platform says, "the prin-
ciples we have contended for are ac-

"A much larger task" the platform
continues, sis before our country in the

their behalf, as in the behalf of all
our dependent or belatcd people, the
duty of this conference is to assist
upon the application of the universal

possession of the highest Christian
civilization"
Ask Congress to Act

pass statutes as follows:
Laws which by imprisoning Offenders
shall prevent the sale of intoxicating
liquors to the Alaskan natives and for
increased appropriations for the edu-
cation of Alaskan youths.
An additional appropriation for the
purchase of small homesteads for the
rest of the wronged, dispossessed and
harmless Indians of California"
The allotment of their land to
Navajo Indians, who for years have
lived on the public domain.
"The gradual closing of the nom
reservation Indian schools, or the modi-
flying of the course of study with the
view to admitting white pupils and
bringing these institutions under the
control of the states in which they are
located.
Full citizenship for Porto Ricans,
the extension of the forestry service to
this island, and wise aid or direction

Her own dear little Grandmother Jessup was an especial favorite with Dorothy. She was never weary of looking over a certain oddly carved old cedar chest, full of scented linen, sheets and pillow slips, rich with Mexican work and embroidery; dainty undergarments, whose ln- 6nitesimal stitches and quaint embellishments would put to shame many a modern rousseau.

Our Two Atmospheres,

The lower atmosphere and the up- per atmosphere are believed by Pro lessor J. Ham to be two very differ ent gaseous mixtures. At the earth's s surface the composition is: Nitrogen, 1908; oxygen, 2o.99; argon. o.94; car bonie acid. o.o3; hydrogen, oo1; neon. 00o15; helium, o.0oo15; krykton, o.o00fo. At a height of twenty kilo- meters Q243 miles, he finds the nitro gen increased to S4.34 per cent, with 15.19 of oxygen. At 100 kilometers, with a probable temperature of so de grees below zero, c, the hydrogen seems increased to 9945 per cent, with o453 of helfum and only o.o99 of nitrogen.

DOROTHY HUNTRESS.
BY CATHERINE JEwETT.

village street stands a veneraDle looking stone house. The front is nearly covered by a luxurious growth of woodbine, parted here and there by odd little projec- tions, in the shape of dormer windows and unexpected porches. The garden, which slopes gradu- ally from the back of the house until 1t loses itself in a wilder ness of peas, beans and pump kins, IS veritable marvel of old fashioned bloom. The neat graveled walks, the circular and rectangular flower beds, are all box bordered and weedless. Great dahlias grow there, and tall day lilies rear their waxen spikes; coxcomb and prince 's-feather toss their naughty heads, while sweeter and less aspiring elove- pinks and eandy-tuft mlngle their perfume with that ot the sweet-peas and mignonette.
 I speak of all this in the pres ent tense, for although the suns of many summers have shone up- on the old place, and the SHOWS of many winter drifted about 1t, it stands unchanged; perhaps its veil of woodbine Is trif1e more impenetrable, its garden a trif1e less imposing than when, years ago, 1t seemed to my childish eyes the glory of the village, very castle of splendor and TO- nance.
 l know now that even at that time the old place was in its de- dadence. The colossal English fortune which had reared in this new world a manor house, after the fashion ot the old, had been divided and sub-divided through generation after generation of easy-going, pleasure loving, money-spending gentlemen of leisure.
  One by one, as need increased. and means diminished, the broad ancestral farms had passed into the hands of more thrifty neigh bors, until only the house, the garden, and the grand old or chard sloping abruptly to tile rivers edge, remained in the pos session of the last heir; half imbecile old man, who, with his granddaughter Dorothy and two negro servants, lived in the mod ern east wing of the mansion. In after years. as it's beauty and value lay in its antiquity, all it's ancient features were carefully preserved; so that 1t stands to- day, as It did many years ago. an odd, romantic, eighteenth century mistake, in the very heart of twentieth century growth and progress.
 So far l have sad a great deal about the house itself, and very little about it's young occupant. who was my hearts delight, and dearest friend.
 Poor, pretty little Dorothy Huntress, She was named for her grandmother, Dorothy Jes- sup, and her mother, Dorothy Huntress, and for that matter a half dozen others; for 1t was an old custom in the family to call the eldest daughter Dorothy. I know now that she was very pretty girl; but to my young eyes, used to the round red cheeks, rough hands, large feet, and homemade frocks of my or dinary companions, she seemed with her satin smooth braids. her apple blossom face, her dainty dresses of silk and wool, d creature from another sphere. Her delieacy and refinement. her low, sweet voice. and her shy, proud reserve, while it separated her from most of the village girls, only increased the ardor of my worship.
