THEIR STORIES DIFFER.
Regarding Number Of Men Involved in
Railroad Strike.

Chicago, Oct. 3-lstatements issued
last night by railroad officials and union.
leaders, who are directing the strike Of
ship employees on the Hartman railroad,
including the Illinois Central, still show
a wide variance in estimates Of the mum
Der of men involved.
According to Julius Kruttschnitt, vice
president Of the. Southern Pacific, but
1000 men went out on the Union Pacific
lines j. A. Franklin, international presi-
dent of the boilermakers, declared that
10000 or more struck.
There iva closer agreement between
the estimates of the number Of Illinois
Central strikers. W. l.. Park, general
manager, estimated that sixty-three per
cent struck Union officials claim that
the total is close to 90 per cent.
There were only 1000 shopmen who
were members of the federation on the
$4,000 miles of the Union Pacific" as
serted Mr.. Kruttschnitt. "0f this num-
Der at least 5000 remained at work, and
we have applications from others who
are anxious to go back to work"

A BLooDLEsS WAR.
May Also Be One of the Shortest Wars
in History.

London, Oct 3-From present appear
anees the Tureo- Italian war promises to
be the shortest and most bloodless war
in history. Thus far its distinguishing
characteristic has been the absence of
fighting, and with Germany acting as
peacemaker it may be ended before fight
ing occurs.
1t is concluded that no mediation will
be accepted by Italy until she has ac-
complished the military occupation of
the Tripolitan coast. After that nego-
tiations will be much easier and are not
unlikely to be successful, il Turkey
will accept money indemnity for al
lowing Italy to establish herself in Trip
oil.
The news filtering in from various
points continues to be of negative kind
Evidentally Tripoli has not been bonn
barded and is not likely to be, if the
Turks do not oppose the Italian land
ing The warlike operations are con-
fined to blockade and the capture on
either side Of a few small vessels.
It is now admitted from the Turk
ish side that Prevesa, in European Tur-
key. is not occupied Italy's announce
ment that she has no intention to carry
the war into European Turkey viii do
much to allay apprehension over Bal
kan or other complications.
Turkeys ministerial difficulties have
not been solved, but generally the sit
nation looks more hopeful.

And Threatens to Take a Hand in the
Embroglio.

London, Oct. IA despatch received
here by news agency from Vienna says
that Count Van Aehrenthal, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, has in
formed the Italian ambassador that any
further action by the Italians on the
Albanian coast will make it necessary
for Austria to despatch warships thith-
er. Count Won Aehrenthal asked the
ambassador how he reconciled Italy's
naval movements in the vicinity of AL
bania with her declarations that she
was keeping her hands off the Balkan
peninsula.
The Constantnople correspondent of
the Chronic sends the following des-
patch:

ing at the various shrines. He grants
frequent audiences to the German am
bassador. am assured that at last
the ambassador has proposed, on the
emperor's advice, that Turkey should
cede Tripoli TO Italy, the emperor un-
dertaking that Turkey shall receive ade-
quate compensation.
The United States, il is understood,
is using its utmost influence to bring
about a cessation Of hostilitles, and Rus
sia gives repeated assurances that she
will not allow complications to arise in
the Balkans.
A special commission has been formed
to recruit volunteers for the eountry's
defense. From all parts of Sefyia and
Montenegro great military activity is
reported. Turkish reinforeements have
been sent to Janina.
Turkey sent her final note to the pow
ers Monday night, appealing for friend
ly intervention. II the response is I'M
favorable, orders will at once be Civ

Turkish official declared that Turkey
had not yet begun hostilities, in spite
OF Italy's brutal aggression.
