ON EVE OF WAR IN BALKANS
Servia's Reply Is UnsatisfaCtOry---Aus-
trian Army Being Placed on
War Footing.

Vienna, March 17.-The boerse yes
terday was again greatly depressed by
fears of the outcome of the Servian
difficulty. The situation is officially
admittedly to be extremely grave, al
though not hopeless.
The emperor yesterday received
Baron Won Aehrenthal, the Austro-
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs,
and DR.. Wekerle, the Hungarian pre-
mier, with whom he conferred at
length on Servia's unsatisfactory re-
ply to the Austro- Hungarian note of
March 6. AS a result of this confer
ence Austria will dispatch a note to
Servia before the end Of the week, de-
handing clear expression of Ser
Was intentions
In the meantime, to emphasize this
demand, the sixty-six battalions in
Bosnia, now on a peace footing will
be raised to a war footing, which is
equivalent to an additional 10000
men. Action in this direction has al
ready been taken by the war Office,
and it was this that led to the rumors
of mobilization, which the govern
ment took occasion yesterday to deny
officially.
Public opinion is greatly excited
and the belief is strong among Aus
TRANS that the country is on the eve
of war.

LODGES PROTEST WITH kN( \
Gov. Magcon May Be Sent South to
Endeav0r to Bring About an
Understanding.

Washington, March 1C.-Nicaragua,
pinoza, protested to Secretary Knox
yesterday that the military and naval
activity now in progress in that coun-
try is destined entirely for defensive
purposes: that she does not contem-
plate making any attacks on her sis
ter republics, and that conditions are
quiet within her borders.
Both the secretary and the minis
ter after the conference, expressed
the hope for a peaceful solution of
the whole situation.
Send More Warships.
Notwithstanding the minister's as
sertion Of Nicaraguas peaceful inten-
tons toward her neighbors, the adj
ministration has decided to augment
the naval force in Central American
waters to total of six warships.
The most significant news that
reached the state department yester-
day was that about 5000 Nicaraguan
troops are near the Honduran from
tier, the chief scene Of activity being
in the neighborhood Of Corinto, where
are also concentrated four gunboats
and other auxiliary craft. A feature
distasteful to the state department is
the manner in which John Fl. Gregory.
the secretary of the legation at Mana
qua, who has been ordered to Wash
ington, is being treated. From the
dispatches it Is gathered there are evil
dences of hostility to him, and it is
understood here also that some of his
dispatches have not reached him
promptly.
May Send Masoon.
An impression exists that the state
department may dispatch a commits
sioner to Central America to make an
investigation and endeavor to bring
about an understanding. Secretary
Knox was asked yesterday as to the
probability of former Governor Ma
COON of Cuba being asked to under
take such a mission and his evasive
reply lends belief to the view that
such step is being considered.

PETROSInO WAS
SHOT IN TIE BACK
New York Detective Had No OPP
portnnity to Defend EEim=
self When Attacked.
ATnOCITY OF CRIME IS SHOWN
New York Police Continue Hunt for
Possible C0nspirat0rs and
Accessories.

Rome, March 17-Oflcial reports
received here concerning the assassi-
nation of Lieut.. Joseph Petrosino at
Palermo Friday indicate that the New
York detective had no opportunity to
defend himself when attacked, as he
was unarmed. The revolver found by
his side, one chamber empty, proved
not to have belonged to him. The po-
lice have discovered Petrosino's re-
volver, unloaded, at the hotel where
he was staying.
The authorities, aided by the post
mortem examination, are convinced
that Petrosini was entirely unprepar-
ed for the murderous assault upon
him.
Shot From Behind.
The assassins crept up behind him,
as the course of the bullets shows.
One, entering the right shoulder
blade, perforated both lungs; another
penetrated the back Of the neck, while
the third struck him on the temple,
probably as he was turning.
The American ambassador is in
close touch with the local authorities
in their endeavor to run down the
murderers. While many arrests have
been made, no direct proof has been
discovered against any Of these men,
but the majority Of them are being
held by the police in close confine-
ment.
Aldermen Mourn Loss.
New York. March 17-The death of
Lieut.. Joseph Petrosino, who was as

plored yesterday by the board OF al
dermen. who adopted a resolution to
that effect. The board also joins in
the generally expressed wish that his
cowardly assassins may be speedily
brought to Justice
What success the police are achiev-
ing in their hunt here for possible
cOnspirators and accessories to the
murder of Petrosino is obviously a
strictly guarded secret, but there was
no let-up in the activity in the case
Yesterday in police headquarters.

NO CONTEST ON TWO CENT LAW.
overturning of Law by Missouri De

Overturning of Law by Missouri De-
cision Wont Affect Wisconsin.
That the overturning of the 2-cent
fare law in Missouri by Judge McPher.
son will in no way lead to a contest
on the 2-cent act in Wisconsin is the
general opinion of legislators at Madi-
son. From the beginning the Mis-
souri, law was contested in the courts,
while in Wisconsin the law was per-
mitted to go into operation without
contest, or even the suggestion CT a
contest since it has been in operation.
AT first the railroad attorneys said
they would give Wisconsin SIX
months trial with the law, and if the
earnings were not sufficient they
would then take the matter into the
courts. The law went into effect IN
August 1907. and local traffic man
ayers report an increase in the
earnings and in the number OF per-
sons carried in spite of an interVen-
ing period of depression.
The law in Wisconsin is different in
many vital respects from the Missouri
act. The "shoW me- state passed
law designating certain roads upon
which the 2-cent fare would be effect
i've. In this state the law designated
no roads specifically, but said that no
corporation operating a railroad in this
state the gross receipts of which are
or exceed $500 per mile per annum,
shall demand, collect or receive a
greater compensation for the trans
portation of persons than 2 cents per
mile" This created a class out of the
railroads, whose earnings were high,
including the Northwestern, MilWau-
kee and Burlington roads. Immediate
" the Wisconsin Central voluntarily
placed itself in the same class by or
dering a 2-cent rate on its own lines,
although it's earnings would not place
it within the jurisdiction of the act

Wisconsin Print Paper Manufacturers
Discuss Tariff Revision at Appleton.
Wisconsin print paper and pulp
manufacturers held another meeting
in Appleton for the purpose Of further
discussing the report of the congress
sional investigating committees re-
port as filed at Washington some days
ago, and for the purpose OF coming
to a uniform understanding as to what
they will do in the matter of recon-
mendation to congress when the ume
comes for the revision OF the tarlH
schedules on print paper, pulp and
pulpWood.
None of the manufacturers will con-
sent to an interview, all saying that
they are of the opinion that anything
given for publication in regard to the
tariff had better come from assocla-
ton headquarters. 1t is learned, how
ever. that the manufacturers are not
all of one mind in the matter concern
ing the report Of Chairman Mann OF
the investigating committee. one
manufacturer, who refused to allow
his name to be used, ventured the
statement that the manufacturers
generally of print paper and pulp do
not object to the proposed change in
tariff schedules on these commodities,
hut will insist upon a simultaneous
change being made in the tariff on
other articles intimately allied with
the paper industry.
1t is understood that Wisconsin and
Minnesota manufacturers will come to
some uniform opinion and forward
their recommendations to association
Headquarters in New York, from
whence in turn the position of the
manufacturers will be made public.
