Eastern Situation Ominous.
London, July 5.-The mobilization Of
Montenegrin troops is causing anxiety in
Europe, although King Nicholas has de-
clared that the move is merely a precau-
tionary one. 1t is reported that the mo-
bilization will offend Turkey and increase
trouble in the Balkan states.
This fear, coupled with the uneasiness
over the Agadir situation, and added to
by the report that the French financiers
were Withdrawing balances in Berlin,
caused a general weakness on all Euro
pean pourses. There was an all-round
slump in London. Consols dropped to
IS 9-16, but closed at rs 11-16.
It is recognized that the French with
drawals, IL true, are not necessarily Of
political significance. Constantinople has
reported that the mobilization Of Monte
negrin troops will lead to the recall Of
the Turkish minister. Turkey has stopped
all leaves of officers and Is preparing for
a general mobilization Of her own troops.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
A TULIP CRAZE.

A TULIP CRAZE.
The world saw something new
under the sun in the seventeenth
century, in the way of a tulip
craze. It began in Holland, and
spread all over Europe. There
was a marvellous demand for the
bulbs, and intense rivalry in pro-
ducing new varieties. Rare once
sold at fabulous prices. One man
is said to have paid 5000 for a
single bulb. Sometimes the own
ership of a bulb was divided into
shares. People simply went wild
on the subject Of tulips. Bulbs
were often bargained for before
they came into existence, aud
many were sold that never did
exist. Men gambled in tulips
somewhat as they now speculate
in wheat. Whole fortunes were
invested In the plants, and many
wealthy families were financially
ruined by the craze. The city Of
Haarlem is still the principal
center OF production OF tulip
bulbs for the European and Amer
lean markets, but the speculative
mania has never been repeated.

POPULAR ELECTION
FAILS At THIS SESSION
House Conferees Refuse to Accept
Bristow Amendment.

Washington. Aug. 12.-There was
to be no further action on the direct
election OF senators at this session of
congress. The house and senate con-
ference committee failed to agree upon
the BristOw amendment which eX-
tends federal authority over state cleo
tons. The house refused to yield on
that. The subject will be considered
at the next session of congress.
An agreement on the campaign pub
licity bill was reached today by the
senate house conference. The measure
as agreed to will be practically the
same that was adopted by the senate
which amended the house bill by pro-
viding for publicity in primary as well
as in other elections. The limitation
for campaign expenditures of $1,000 for
congressman and $4,000 for senator
ial candidates are to be retained. The
conference report will be submitted TO
both houses on Monday.

DAMAGE FROM EIECTROLYSIS

In a report of the Chicago Bureau
of Public Efficiency just made public
one explanation is furnished of the
waste Of city water. which has caused
so much complaint for years. The
report deals with electrolysis of water
pipes in this city.
The bureau has made a partial
electrolytic survey with the view of
demonstrating the need for a thor
ough survey by the city and the
taking of such steps by the auth
critics as may be necessary to stop
the destruction of water pipes by
stray currents of electricity escap-
ing from the street car tracks and
the elevated railway structures In
the city budget of 1910. and again
in the budget of 1911. there was an
appropriation of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of making such a survey The
bureau makes it known that the
money was not used for this pur-
pose. 1t seems, however. that in the
last few days, since the bureau report
went to press. the mayor has named
an expert to make the desired sur
vey. The bureau report indicates
that there is need for thorough work
by this expert.
Many cities have had trouble with
electrolysis and the majority of them
have taken steps TO check the dam
age from this cause. The Peoples
Gas Light and Coke company of Chi
cago several years ago adopted sys-
tematic methods for the protection of
its pipes from injury in this man
ner. The new street railway tracks
laid down under the direction of the
board of supervising engineers are
so constructed as to avoid the dan
ger of electrOlytic action. But at the
beginning of the present year only
a little over half the trackage had
been rehabilitated. Current from the
elevated railways is also said to be
for electrolysis
The survey made by the bureau of
public efficiency shows that electricity
tic action is going on at several
designated points in the city. Pho
tograph of water pipes are presented
to illustrate the damaging effects of
Attention is called to the
added danger that will result when
a high pressure water system is in
stalled, as the pipes will be particu-
larly likely to burst at weakened
spots under the greater strain and
TIE consequences of the breaks will
be especially serious.
Not only is it necessary to stop the
action. but the bureau
points out the need for ascertaining
the points at which the action is TAX
ing place. as a means of facilitating
the discovery of pipes that are leak
ing and therefore are in need of re-

FAILURE TO AGREE
ON THE FREE LIST
BILL WILL GO TO ANOTHER CON-

ident Tomorrow.

Washington, Aug. 12,-Tariff revis-
ion legislation moved swiftly onward in
presidential veto. a complete confer
ence agreement on the wool bill was
reported to the house with a view to
final action by that body through the
adoption of the conference report to-
day. The free list bill, discussed in the
committee as subsidiary TO the wool
measure, was disagreed as to were it's
two chief amendments, a house amend
ment adding lemons to the free list
and senate amendment limiting free
meat and cereal products TO those
countries with which the United States
has reciprocal trade arrangements.
All other amendments were accepted.
This disagreement will be reported to
both houses Monday with view to an
othervote in the senate on the Kern
