country is based, flies to anarchy and

Comptroller Prendergast, of New
York City, bitterly denounced the
platform. He said:
Because men are prone to differ
with you and believe in the initiative
and referendum, it is not sign that
they are anarchists, Socialists or agi-

the spread of Socialism until you
show the people that they can expect
relief from one of two great political

Comptroller Prendergast eloquent
ly defended Colonel Roosevelt; his
speech electrifying the galleries.
The convention adopted the plat
form without change. There was no
roll-call, only few scattering noes
being heard. The convention then
adjourned.

Report 400 Slain in Fight
Near Bulgarian Frontier

LONDON. October 4-Hostilities be-
tween the Balkan states and Turkey have
begun, according to reports from many
quarters. A dispatch to the Russian gov
ernment says that the Bulgarians are
crossing the frontier.
A battle has occurred south of Har-
manli, Bulgarian town, thirty y-seven
miles north of Adrianople, according to a
Constantinople dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company. The casualty list is
placed at 400 killed.
Military action has thus outstripped
slower footed diplomacy, for no ultima
tum has yet been presented to Turkey.
and in COnstantinople none is expected
until Monday.
The porte, however, has sent an official
notification to the powers. which reads:
''In view of the manifestly aggressive
attitude Of the Balkan states, Turkey re-
serves to itself full liberty of action. con-
vinced that the civilized world will not
fail to do justice to it's moderate atti-
tude. But this cannot exclude care for
safeguarding its dignity and security, as
we'll as it's rights.

Several skirmishes Reported.

This, it would seem, is the porte's way
Of preparing the world for the failure Of
the powers to stave off hostilities. No
official confirmation of the rupture of the
peace is to be had, but skirmishes are
reported to have occurred in the neigh
borhood of Djumbala, called also JAM
boil, Bulgarian territory, I'm the Albanian
villayet Of Scutari, along the Monte
negr1n frontier and near Basckvranya,
on the Servian border.
At the last-named place the Turks are
said to have lost thirty killed and many
wouEded, while the Servian casualties are
given as two killed and eighteen
wounded
A detachment of 300 Turkish soldiers,
according to the dispatch, crossed into
Servian territory and in the neighborhood
of the town of Vranya encountered a
body Of Servfan infantry. An engage
ment ensued which lasted an hour.
