'' NO SOLUTION.
Continued from Page One.)

Sir Edward Grey, the secretary for for
eign affairs, and Sir Charles Hard
inge, the permanent under-secretary of
the foreign Office and thus he became
fully acquainted with the govern
ments views. In fact. the King was
so anxious to learn the progress of at
fairs that he had Sir Charles Hardirge
to breakfast, and Secretary Grey came
in Immediately afterwards. When the
Russian foreign minister arrived the
King was enabled to discuss the sub
ject with him along the same lines as
those followed by Sir Edward in his
conference with NJ. Iswolsky yesterday.
An official statement issued to the
press at the close of the days pro-
ceedings was Identical with that given
out yesterday. 1t was as follows:
IAN exchange of views has taken
place between Sir Edward Grey and M.
1swolsky representing Great Britain
and Russia respectively which affords
reasonable grounds for hoping that a
solution will be found for the settle
:nent of the pending questions"
Something definite doubtlessly will
eventuate before the close Of another
day.
More favorable news from the Bal
kans, including the reported action of
the Servian National Assembly in vot-
ing against war, has further strength
ened the belief that there will be no
eruption.
The Greek government in reply to
the British pronouncement that until
legal status has been restored in the
island of Crete. Great Britain cannot
hold out any hope that the Cretan
aspirations will be granted, points out
the difficulty of the position of the ad-
ministration at Athens which in no
way prompted the Cretans to declare
union with Greece. The Greek gov
eminent express it's willingness that
the Powers should decide the question
of union between Crete and Greece,
but it declares that there is no means
within it's power of forcing the Cretans
to restore the legal conditions of af-
fairs The Greek government, the re-
ply states, will continue to act with
moderation

THE RUSSIAN ATTITUDE
Remains Unchanged, Pending Result
of the Conferences at London.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE center
of interest in the Near Eastern crisis
has been transferred to London and
the Russian foreign Office is marking
time in it's negotiations with other
Powers concerning the cOnvocation OF
congress until the outcome Of the
conference between NJ. Iswolsky, Sir
Edward Grey and the King are known.
The cordial welcome extended the
Russian foreign minister in England
and the expressed wish by both parties
to the conferences to find a pacific
and acceptable solution of the Balkans
problems are regarded in the highest
ministerial circles as assuring ultimate
agreement between Great Britain and
Russia on congress of the powers,
although no definite progress has yet
been officially reported here. The
scope of the proposed congress and
the question as to whether the call
shall be issued by one or several Pow
ers being still in allegiance.
Emperor Nicholas has decided to
leave the letter Of Emperor Francis
Joseph unanswered until NJ. IsWolsky
returns to ST Petersburg. Count
Berchthold. the Austrian ambassador
was closeted with NJ. Tcharykoff the
acting foreign minister, the entire at
ternoon At the close of the interview
he reiterated the statement that AUS
tria would refuse to participate in
congress unless the Bosnian question
was excluded from the program. This
attitude was confirmed later by Prince
Won Furstenberg councillor of the Aus
TRAN embassy, who declared that only
Austria and Turkey We're interested in
the annexation of Bosnia, the other
powers having no grounds for inter-
ference.
The question Of the recognition o.
Bulgarian independence has for the
time dropped out of sight. but Russia
has assured Bulgaria that she support
her pretentions before the Congress.
Russia, however, will take no action
with regard to the recognition of the
Austrian proposals unless the plans
for the holding of an international
conference fall through.
The foreign Office has received from
a score of cities in Turkey, kilograms
protesting against the AustrO- Bull
garian action which has been adopted
at mass meetings, held under the aus
pieces of the Young Turks. The tele-
grams are identical in text showing a
central origin.

Wilfred Paradis Accidentally Met Bull.
let Intended for a Deer.

Jackman. Me. Oct. 11.-An inquest
was deemed unnecessary after an in
vestigation Saturday by Coroner Fred
p Adams Of Pennington into the kill
ing Of Wilfred Paradis, Is, of Lake
Megantic. Que, in the woods near
Skinner village, near Lowelltown,
Thursday.
1t appeared that Paradis. who had
been employed fighting forest fires by
Skinner, French & Co, with another
young man, was walking the Canadian
Pacific Railroad right of way when
deer was seen on the north side Of the
track half mile east of Skinner set
Element His companion went back
and notified Clancy Skinner, who is
the senior members of a large lumber
concern, and he came down the track
with n rifle.
The deer was in plain sight when
Skinner fired Going toward the deer
they found Paradis lying face down
ward on the north side of the track
wounded through the chest and Shout
ders. He died in a few moments. He
had been lying fiat on his stomach In
direct line between the deer and Mr.
Skinner. but was not visible. Probably
he arose to see what became of the
deer and received the bullet intended
for tn deer.
Coroner Adams found that Mr.. Skin
ner is an experienced hunter, that he
plainly did not mistake the man for a
deer as the deer was in plain view and
that the man was killed out of the
range of vision and entirely by acct
dent.

NO MOVE FOR WAR
Taken by Servian Assembly, Which Is
Showing Some Common Sense.

Belgrade, Oct. n.-After secret SEES
sion, lasting for more than p hours.
the NaroGna- Skupshtina, or National
Assembly, adjourned this evening,
without having arrived at any definite
decision with regard to its action
against Austro-Hungary. The Assem-
bly, Will meet again tomorrow and the
session will be open to the public.
According to the most reliable iEfor-
nation, no vote was taken on the
question at issue. The meeting was a
very stormy one, and was interrupted
by various recesses. War was demand
ed with Austria Hungary, but the
leaders of the war faction cooled down
after Foreign Minister Milovanovics
made a lengthy statement in which he
explained that one reason why hostili-
ties were impossible was the scarcity
of ammunition for the new batteries
which is now being transported here,
but has been detained on the Austrian
line. The leaders of all the parties COM
planned earnestly that the government $,
protest to the Powers against the an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
was not couched in sufficiently strong
terms, but the foreign minister event.
ually succeeded in convincing the
House of the correctness OF the cabi-
nets attitude. and it is anticipated that
tomorrow the Assembly will adopt Q
vote of confidence in the government.
Thus for the moment, the danger
point in the Balkan crisis is passed, and
Scrvia is expected to content herself,
temporarily, with instituting boycott
ov-to
in the way of revenge. 1t was stated
that NJ. Milovanovics will shortly pro-
coed to London. Paris and Rome. to
lay Servia's claims before the Powers.

In the first place, Governor Campbeli
Is unpopular in his own party. He is
severely criticized for the ruinous pol
icies which he advocates and has put
into effect in part. The 10000 votes
which were cast for an obscure and un-
tried rival Democratic candidate for
governor in the recent primaries attest
cd Governor Campbelrs unpopularity.
In that primary Campbell received only
100000 votes, making a total Of ap-
proximately 100000 Democratic votes
that were cast for the two candidates.
1t is said by Colonel Lyon that large
proportion of the 10000 Democrats. who
voted for hob" Williams, the black
smith opponent of Governor Campbell. in
the recent primary will show further dis
approval of Canpbelrs administration
and policies by remaining away from the
polls at the coming general election.
Many others. it is asserted, who gave
their support to Williams will vote for
Colonel Simpson for governor. The high
est number of votes ever cast in Texas
for Republican candidate, either state
or national. was for William Mckinley for
President. He received more than l63. 900
votes.

Is the Gist Of Mr.. 6ryan's Speech Sat.
urday at MoberIy, Mo.

Moberly, Mo-, Oct. 11.--Wiiliam j.
Bryan, in a speech here Saturday
morning, declared that the Stee! Trust
is supporting Mr.. Taft, and said that
Andrew Carnegie, one of its biggest
bondholders, had contributed $4,000,
twice as much to Mr.. Taft's fund as
any man was allowed to give to the
Democratic fund.

speech Saturday.

its finished product for less than 1t
charged for wire in the coil, yet the at

true and accepting as true that this
fact has resulted injuriously to a bust

This, ne said, was the construction
Of the law by the present adElinistra-

more cruel because Mr.. Taft had de-
