An exchange writer brings the fol-
lowing interesting situation into spec
ulatiye light: Attention has been
called to German naval maneuvers in
the Sognefjord. The government has
encouraged foreign powers to let their
warships visit Norway, but in this
case it is said that the Germans have
been sounding the waters through
which their ships passed. More than
once it has been stated that the next
Trafalgar will not be on the coast of
Spain, bit on the coast of Norway.
1t is generally supposed that the great
peace movement to which President
Taft has given an unparalleled inn
petus will not accomplish its purpose
until the big fellows of Europe have
had a record breaking clash and this
clash may occur among the skerries of
Norway. And the Norwegians will
try 70 be prepared for it according to
their limited means"
During the month of September the

A Cablegram from Chrstiania says:
'The recent military riots at three diff
ferent drill places have in some de-
gree shaken confidence in the national
defense. The disturbances probably
were started by some young socialists.
In two cases military prisoners, ar
rested for petty offenses, were liber-
ated. The participants in the riots
will be punished severely"

The municipal employment bureau
Of Copenhagen has been in exist
ence for ten years and has Just issued
a report which ought to be of special
interest at this time, as the govern
ment is considering the advisability
of establishing similar agencies or bu-
reaus all over the kingdom. The re-
port Of the bureau shows that during
The past nine an One-half years the bu-
reau has received applications for en-
ployment from 40S, 698 persons and
249,471 applications for wOrkingmen
from employers. One of the difficulties
experienced by the bureau is that so
many persons that apply for jobs are
not in earnest and refuse to work
when they really have secured place
Four young Helsingfor women gave
a sensational exhibition in the Sundet
the other. day before a large crowd of
people. The four young women rowed
out In boat to deep water, all jump
ing at one time into the water and
proceeded to undress themselves.
When they jumped in the water they
were in their street clothes. All four
girls are excellent swimmers and
divers and this feat on their part is
regarded as something very exception
al. The girls have received fiattering
offers from Berlin and London and it
may be that they will decide to go
there and give the same performance,
The Royal theater In Copenhagen
has not made a vast amount of money
during the past year, for in its sur

This is not much, but 1t must be re-

over $4,000 crowns Taking this into
consideration the managers consider
that they done very well last season
and believe that during the coming
theatrical season they will be able to
show much better results.

Philadelphia. october 19.-outlooly for playing the fourth game of the worlds championship series here to- morrow is somewhat dubious. Wea tn sr reports indicate conditions here will be unsettled and the grounds at Shibe park still are wet and soggy from the downpour of the past two days.
 Players on both teams are now anX- ious to get into the remaining games as soon as possible and if conditions are at all favorable the game, which has been twice postponed, will be played. Manager Mack today smiled at the report that the delay had fla vored the New York team more than 1t had the Athletics. He pointed to the fact that the rest had enabled Baker the best hitter in the present seri -c to recover from the wounds received by the two spikings from Snodgrass Jack Barry, he said, also had received

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Chorus Lady"

Miss Elizabeth Dunne and her asso- ciate players gave a creditable per formance of James Forbes "The Chorus Lady" at the Jefferson theatre last night Miss Dunne is not a comedienne, but in all other respects sAe is quite equal to the part of Patricia O'Brien and she presents the character In a way that wins sympathy and appre- citation. As a burlesque "trouper," wise in the ways of the world, who battles successfully for the honor of her weaker sister, even at the risk of sac rificing her own good name and hap plness, Miss Dunne gave a performance that was very commendable. Her sup port for the most part was satisfactory, notably Miss Margaret Gallagher as Mrs. O'Brien, Miss K. Irwin as Nora, William W. Cohill as Crawford and Miss Mabelle Van Tasse, who had only a small part as Sylvia Simpson, but presented that typical young woman in q sharply defined manner.

IDAHO GOVERNOR
 LAUDS GOV. O'NEAL
Governor Hawley Gives Some Sketches of Impressions of
 Governors Conference

Montgomery, October 1a.-(Special.)- High tribute is paid to Governor Emmet ONeaI of Alabama by Governor James II. Hawley of Idaho in an article which has appeared in the Idaho Statesman The article in question views the house of governors as seen by a governor, and consists of interesting personal sketches The tribute to Governor ONeal follows; "A southerner to the manor born,' but whose Irish ancestry shows fin appear ance, speech and acion, is Governor Elm met O'Neal, of Alabama; a man whose countenance. as well as every action, shows honesty of purpose and the cour- age born of high resolve. He is a man of ideas, with the happy faculty of we'll expressing them. Proud of his native state, Alabama has good reason to be equally proud of him. He took a leading conference. His unquestioned legal abil- ity added to the weight attached to his utterances in lost of the questions dis cussed by us.
 Tt was Governor O'Neal who took the floor after the notable papers of Cover nors Hadley and Aldrieh had been read and pointed out in equally strong terms as had the train of evil consequences that would necessarily flow from the af- firmation by the supreme court of the United States of Judge Sanford's decision In the Minnesota rate case.
 Upon my suggestion he included his
 idea as to the duty of the conference in motion which was passed by only one dissenting vote of Governor Kitchen of North Carolina, creating commis sion consisting of Governor Hadley Harmon and Aldrich to represent inc ideas of the conference in the argument of the cause mentioned upon it's ap- proval to the supreme court His well known ability as a lawyer well entitlee him to a place upon the committee. but he himself wished otherwise. Governor O'Neal is comparatively young, and. it is to be hoped. will live long to serve the people of his state who thorouphlv respect and love to honor him."

SECRETARY WILSON
 WILL NOT RESIGN
Denies Rumors AflOat in Washington to That
 Effect

Washington, October 19.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson who reached here late today from Chicago, denied rumors afloat here to the effect that he had handed his resignation to President Taft to take effect November 15, or as soon thereafter as suitable.
 "There is absolutely no Justification
 for the rumor." he declared emphati-
 cally.
 q have no thought of handing in my resignation any time soon." The secretary was visibly, annoyed by
 the rumor and immediately took steps | to discover who started it. The report | was so circumstantial that it was pub lished in the evening papers, although complete ignorance of the affair was | expressed by the cabinet officers son and officials of the department of agriculture. I The fact that Secretary Wilson was on | his way here from Chicago complicated the situation but promptly on his arrival 1 he entered a vigorous denial of the re- port.
 l Rumors were in circulation today that
 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson had
 
 or as soon as the President may elect, I but 1t was impossible to verify the story. Secretary Wilson is en route here from Chicago. Former Represent ative Scott of Kansas for some years l chairman of the House committee on l agriculture and Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Hays were mentioned as
 among those likely to succeed MT. Will son.
 l Prof. L. H. Bailey, dean of the New I York Agricultural college and head of the Roosevelt Country Life committed, was recently reported as under consid- eration for the office under the retire. | ment of the present secretary. It Is I generally understood in official circles 1 that Secretary Wilson desired to. stay l in the cabinet until spring but that he would resign before the next presiden- | tial campaign to avoid the severe strain the campaign would impose upon a cabinet member of his advanced years. His friends have not expected him to retire before the regular session of Congress has had a chance of the in- vestigation of his department and set tie the controversy into which he has been plunged in dealing with Dr. Wiley and the pure food law.
 Livingston, Mont, October 1e.-When informed on his arrival here of the ru- rnors that Secretary of Agriculture Will son had rendered his resignation, Pres- | dent Taft. announced that sthe reports were without foundation. s<

Marine Band Today

This afternoon at 3 and tonight at S:30 o'clock the United States Marine band will be heard at the Jefferson theater. Two brilliant programmes will be render ed and this famous band will doubtless draw big audiences at both performances.
 The Marine band is seldom allowed to leave Washington for a tour. This is the first time 1t has ever toured the south. It opened at Richmond with an ovation.
 It has been to Texas and was greeted there by immense audiences. It played in Mobile last night and from Birming- ham it goes to Atlanta for two concerts. A special dispatch from Mobile last night follows:
 Before an audience which occupied every inch of space within the walls of the Lyric theater tonight the famous United States Marine band, resplenden, in their brilliant red uniforms, gave the music lovers of Mobile a musical 'reat the memory of which will finger with them for many days to come. It was a veritable ovation for Lieutenant Santel- mann and his band of 50 musicians.
 Encore after encore was demanded anu II was lot uhtl tue pioSidiiiiiie OrlSl- nally calling for but eight numbers had been extended to more than 20 was the audience satisfied
 Every number, starting with the Rein zi' overture until the vast audience rose to its feet for the Star Spangled Banner, was greeted with hearty applause.

More than 1000 hogs and 1500 birds for tho poultry show have been entered. The number of cattle will excel any pre- vious record, and breeders are expect ing more sales than they dreamed pos sible two or three years ago, due largely to the inroads of the boil wee- vii and the determination of the farm CTS of the state to outwit the pest by starving him to death.

ITALY WILL TRY
 ARMY AV|ATORS Will Turkey Regard Them as Prisoners of War
 or Spies?

Rome, october 19.-There is an interest ing discussion in military circles as 5o now the Turks will be likely to treat italian military aviators if the latter fall into their hands particularly as to whetk- CT they will be regarded as prisoners ot war It is recalled that the passengers of five French balloons captured by the Prussians in 1870 were considered spies by Bismarck. In the present case the avia- tors wear military uniforms and do not conceal their identity in accommodating,
