 CONTINUE WORK

Berlin, N. H., October 1S-After long discussion this afternoon and evening with President J. T. Carey of the In ternational Brotherhood of Papermakers, the papermakers Of the Berlin Mills com pany decided tonight that they would re- port for work Monday morning as usual.

PEACE SEEMS NOW
 TO BE ASSURED

London, October 1s.-The cloud which lowered over the near eastern situation on Saturday has been dispersed, leaving more hopeful prospect for the preserva- ton of peace. Official denials of the mob aization rumors from both Turkey and Bulgaria a4e held to indicate tho. sue cess of the diplomatic efforts of the west ern powers in Constantinople and Sofia toward a settlement of difficult prob lem, and, although it becomes daily more clear that the agreement entered into by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, and M. Iswolsky, the Russian foreign minister, concerning the proposed conference of the powers is not acceptable to Austria or Turkey, and that prolonged and delicate negotiations must precede the assembling of the conference, the belief in the best informed quarters still is that peace will be unbroken.

DEMOCRATS FEEL
 SURE OF MARYLAND
Leaders End Week of Strenu- Ous Campaigning
INDEPENDENTS LINE UP
Senator Rayner Says Victory Is in the Air and That 1t Is a Land slide for Bryan in
 the State.

Washington, D. C.. October 1s.-(Spe- eial. 1.-The democrats of Maryland ended the most strenuous week of the campaign last night with every indication that the state has been made secure for Bryan and Kern by substantial majority.
 Not since the last election of Grover Cleveland have the leaders been so con- fident of carrying the state for a presi- dential ticket. All reports from the coun- ties are uniformly of enc tenor, that the rural democracy is united to a man and that the full party strength will turn out at the polls on election day.
 In Baltimore the defection is less than it has been in any national contest since 1892 it being admitted on all sides that the scheme to rally Independent demo- crats" to the support of Taft has been a dismal failure. The wild alarms sound ed in 1896 and 1900 with such substantial effect have fallen on deaf ears. With all the blandishments of the Taft organs to lure them in the other direction the independent democrats have steadily lined up for the regular party ticket.
 Senator Rayner, who has just finished speaking tour on the eastern shore, is confident that that part of tho state will roll up a splendid majority for the democratic national ticket.
 Everywhere I went,'' said the senator today, T found the democrats harmonious and working for a common end. Vic tory S in the air. The eastern shore will redeem itself from the reproach of being represented in Congress by such man as Jackson, who, whatever his other merits may be, is a nonentity in Washington and unftted for work in any legislative body. I have been campaign ing on the eastern shore for 30 years and I have never seen anything to equal the meetings down there. There is a landslide there for the democrats.
