If war occurs in the near east over
 the latest developments in the AL banian uprising against the Young Turk government it will be confined
 to the narrowest theatre. It will not
 involve any of the great powers. On | this point there is virtual agreement
 among the European nations.
 But war even on the most contracted scale is not yet in sight. A conference
 of the powers on Albanian affairs is
 much more likely in the near future. While the porte declares categoric .
 ally that it will not tolerate foreign
 intervention in Turkeys internal ad- | ministratton and insists that it has
 treated the Albanians generously and
 would have reconciled them ere this | but for the attitude of Montenegro in
 encouraging refugees to refuse the
 amnesty proffered by Constantinople The fact is that Young Turks are seek ling any eXpedient of settlement that Twill save their face.
 | What the Albanians most desire is i permission to carry arms This demand is met by insuperable difficulties on tthe Turkish side. Such tribes as offer submission will rise again soon as the Ottoman troops are withdrawn.

 ing the visit of Admiral Badgers squadron at Kiel closely observed the American sea fighters He talked free ly with the officers and asked many questions about American methods. He was particularly struck with the smartness of the American officers and men, the splendid condition of the ships and the business-like appearance of the squadron.
 He has spoken frequently of these points and has had several conferences with his own naval heads suggesting Improvements along American lines.
 His majesty is alleged to have re- marked that the American ships were he had ever seen. His majesty has started on his annual cruise to Nor way and thereabouts. A large party ac- companies him, as usual. and II the weather proves favorable the cruise will be extended beyond its customary limits.

 Her majesty paid a long promised visit a few days ago to Hohenlychen, the headquarters of the Red Cross in stitution. of which she is the patron. The court train left at 10 o'clock in the morning. arriving half an hour later The Kaiserin. who was attended by a numerous suite, wore heilfotrope silk lawn with white lace about 1t that made the becoming gown LOOK very cool and her majestys hat was white, with mauye feathers The dis tinguished visitor was met by all the directors of the hospitals and nursing homes, the matrons, and nurses; and q small girl, daughter of the head di- rector, presented her with bunch of her favorite flowers-Marechal Mel roses. Nearly three hours were spent by her majesty at Hohenlychen. She went into every ward and spoke to many of the little patients and in spected with her wonted interest and the kitchen and laundry The Kaiserin distributed a great number of presents, jewelry and decorations of many kinds to the officials, and the little girl who hand ed her the roses, and said poem very prettily, received a specially charming gold. brooch with the imperial initials and crown in pearls.

CHILDREN

The Broughten divorce case which
was heard before Judge VIII Linn in
the superior court today was one OF
the most bitterly contested cases in
the courts this year.
Mrs. Broughten, the plaintiff, wants
the custody of the children and the
defendant has filed a cross petition,
declaring her to be a person not III
to have the custody Of minors and ask
ing to be given the children. There
was no contest in the divorce decree
but only for the custody of the four
children. The couple were married
in 1898.
Witnesses were here from the vi
cinity of Ada. R. r. Davenport is at
torney for the defendant and Bond &
Melton for the plaintiff. Sensational
charges were made against the char
acter Of Mrs. Broughten by her hus-
band in his cross petition.
