TURKEY WANTS WAR.
Mobiizes Army in Asia Minor to Fight
Bulgaria.

Paris, Oct. 19.-The optimism pre-
vaiing in official circles up to the
present time concerning the ability
OF the powers to maintain peace in
eastern Europe was rudely shattered
on receipt of a telegram from the
French ambassador at CONSTANT
nople, M. Constans, announcing that
Turkey had ordered the mobilization
OF her troops in Asia Minor, and it
rs believed that few hours will de-
termine the issue of peace or war.
This IS regarded as Turkeys an
swer to Bulgaria's refusal to accord
compensation for her independence
and to the powers which arranged the
program in London for the interna-
tional conference.
Instructions have been hurricdlv
forwarded to the French representa-
tiyes at Constantinople and Sofia to
renew their counsels of peace and the
other powers have sent similar in
structions to their representatives in
these cities, urging moderation on
the part of Bulgaria and Turkey.
The fear among diplomats. how
ever, is that Intervention NAV come
too. late and that the Bulgarians. in
their present state of excitement. may
accept Turkeys act as one of provo
cation and advance across the from
tier, when collision between the
armies would be inevitable and ire
parable.

ABANDONS COFFEE CORNER
Brazil Will Borrow S75, 100000 to
Save Big Losses.

New York, Oct 17.-After HAVING
sustained loss of $1,000, 900, Brazil has
abandoned its attempt to corner the
worlds coffee market. For two wears
the government of Sac Paulo, the chief
state Of Brazil has been purchasing cof-
Tee from its planters to keep ND the
price, now having on its hands 5000, 900
bags of coffee. According to advices
received yesterday in New York. loan
OF $75O0oo00, which is necessary to
take care of the present huge accumula-
ton, is soon to be offered for public
subscription
The corner is regarded as one of the
most interesting, but foolhardy financial
experiments ever attempted. Bumper
crops have followed one another. and
IN 1905 the harvest returned 10000 600
bags. a surplus over the entire worlds
requirements of 100000 bags. Then
the scheme of corneriug the mar
ket was planned. In two years Sac
Paulo had purchased from planters g.
0oO0 bags, at an average cost of $40
a bag, which was more than double the
market price.
Money thus spent was borrowed in
the United States at high interest. Now
the various loans are to be consolidated
into one of SIS, 100000.

REVIVE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Chinese Demand Native Girls Be Ad-
mitted to White School.

San Francisco, Oct. 19-An order
by the board of education for the re-
moval of ten Chinese school girls
from one of the public schools of the
city to an annex of the oriental
school threatens to renew the Ash
attic school complication of year
ago.
500 Hoo Fong, a local Chinese
merchant, through his attorneys has
threatened to sue the members of the
board of education if they remove his
children from school attended by
white children, and others plan sim
liar action.
Fongs attorneys claim their client
and his wife we're born in the United
States and that the children were
born here. They have a right to
claim American citizenship with all
privileges, they assert.
The secretary of the board has an
nounced that the order directing the
transfer would not be changed

TOTAL DEATHS IN
FORESTS NOW Al
Many Families and School Children
In Michigan Still Missing.
At Least LOO HomeIess--Many Bod
les Yet to Be Found-Fate of 90
Families Canned on Lake Shore
Remains In Doubt--Fires Burning
but Worst Is Over.

Alpena, Mich, Oct. 2o.-The GER
titled known death list resulting from
the forest fires in Presque Isle and
Alpena counties stands at Al, with sew
eral persons still reported missing
and probability of severe loss OF
life in aorthern Pulaski and Krakow
townships in Presquc Isle county.
Az least 60 families were living near
the shore OF Lake Huron in the north
ern half Of Pulaski and Krakow town
ships and nothing has been heard OF
them since the fire.
AT Grand Lake a farmer and wife
and four children are known to have
taken refuge in a boat and nothing
has since been heard from them.
A dozen school children sent home by
the teachers have not been heard from.
While big fires are still burning
throughout the northern tier of coun.
ties, not single village or town is now
known 10 be in danger. and only the
Hurst branch Of the Detroit & Mackinac
raihc-d is out of commission.
Some apprehension is felt for Grace
Hsrbor, which is located on the shore OF
Lake Huron, northeast of here. No word
has been received from there since the
fire.
At the lowest estimate there are 100
people homeless, and there is not even an
adequate supply Of water.
The Detroit < Mackinac Railroad
company ordered $50 pumps sent into
the fire district. The relief fund at Al
pena has reached $4,000, and is growing
rapidly.

Government Reveals Past Record of
Gunpowder Trust.

New York, Oct 16-Further testi-
mony, through which it was sought to
establish the existence of an illegal com
bination of gunpowder manufacturers.
was introduced yesterday at a hearing
before Special United States Commits
sioner Maheffely in the suit instituted
by the federal department of Justice
against the so-called powder trust This
action, directed against the E. 1. Du-
pont Nemours Powder company. and II
other defendants, charges them with
securing control of practically all the
powder mills of the country and con
Quoting them as one great concern in
detlance of the Sherman antitrust law.
The greater part of the time at yes
terdays hearing was taken up in placing
on the record the "compendil1m ~
rules and the fundamental agreement
which governed the old Gunpowder
Trade association. These documents
were produced by Alexis l. Dupon+ sec
rotary of the Dupont company
BY the presentation of these docu-
ments the government is endeavorino
to establish the existence of combine
ton of powder manufacturers from 1872
to 1902, known as the Gunpowder Trade
association.
Attorneys for the Dupont Powder
company made no objections to the adj
mission of this line of testimony. because
OF their claims that such association or
trade agreements ceased to exist with
the year 1902, when the present Dupont
company was organized and purchased
the powder mills now owned by the
company.

Castro Viii Shoot Every RevoIutionist
as Traitor.

Caracas, Venezuela, Oct 16.-That
the members of any revolutionary move
ment initiated during the prospective
blockade of the Venezuelan ports will
be Immediately shot as traitors to the
country, if captured, is reported to be
the present determination of President
Castro. This is his answer to the ru-
mors and newspaper reports circulated
to the effect that under the cover of
Dutch guns revolutionary movement
is about to be undertaken to overthrow
the Castro government.
The one topic of conversation in Car
acas today is the coming answer to Hol-
lands second note, which has been re-
ported to have set November 1 as the
date for the annulment of Castro's
trans shipment decree, which has been
so obnoxious to the people of Curacao
Venezuela's answer is being prepared
with great care 1t is believed that in
1t will be set forth the reason why che
Dutch demand cannot and will not be
accepted or acceded to-
The danger to Venezuela today is not
in the strength of Hollands cause, be-
cause 1t is conceded that the Neither lands
government has no casus belli On the
contrary, Holland, it is asserted has the
weakest case of any of those nations
now at outs with President Castro, but
there are several nations, especially the
United States and France, it is said.

their chestnuts out of the fire, and these

inhabitants of the little village of Metz.
% miles north of here, to safety from
the forest fires which were sweeping

was ditched by spreading rails at No

ard the terrified refugees wer forced to
abandon the cars and rush for safety
either down the track with burning for
ests on either side, or into the plowed
fields near the siding.
Eleven of the victims were women and
children, who were unable to escape
quickly enough from the gondola car
which they were occupying Their
charred Sodies were found there yester-
day, when rescuers reached the scene.
wo OF the men victims were members
OF the train crew.
Four additional fatalities occurred in
the neighborhood of the wreck.
When the forest fires closed in about
the little village, special train of three
empty box cars and two coal gondolas
was rushed to Metz. As rapidly as pos
siDie the people and their goods were
loaded into the cars. Some refused to
abandon their goods, or the train might
have left earlier, and have reached AL
pena in safety. When the train finally
started there were about 100 frightened
people aboard.
The survivors, of the frightful expert
ence seemed dazed from the perilous
surroundings. They seemed to think of

escape the menacing flames. 1t was diff
fcult to get any coherent statement from
them as to loss of life in the wreck or
