Vienna Nov. Z0.-A dispatch from Belgrade says the politika announces the Montenegrins have taken ScuIari in Albania, which has been invested almost since the day the Turko- Bal kan war was declared. The surrender of the city has not been confirmed.
 A combined army of Servians and Montenegrins has occupied Alessio, a port on the Adriatic.
 Fighting along the Tchaladja line continues, according to advices from Constantinople. No further details have been received of the Bulgarian repulse, but the silence Of Sofia indi- cates that it was serious and the Turks are fully holding their own.

DYNAMITE TRIAL DRAGS 0N
l. B. McNamara Intended to "Ciean Out Scab Jobs," Two Wit
 nesses Declare.

Indianapolis, Nov. 20.-The district attorney Tuesday hoped to finish with the important evidence on the Los An geles Times explosion and the other coast work of the accused dynamiters, and it was thought possible that everything would be. ready for Ortie F. McManigal to resume his story not later than Thursday.
 It was planned by the government to put before the jury all the records of the trial of the McNamaras, their plea of guilty, the imposition of sen tence and their incarceration in San Quentin prison.
 It was certain Tuesday that the trial. which now is in its eighth week, would last at least until the middle of January and perhaps longer. The dis trict attorney said that the govern ment was many days behind schedule, and that he would not be ready to rest before the first week in December
 Leading counsel for the defense said the ironworkers would consume fully six weeks. Every one of them wants to testify and some of them have large numbers of witnesses to prove alibis and good regulations.
 After Oscar Lawlor, special assist. ant attorney general for the Los An geles dynamite investigation, and Ar thur Veitch, deputy district attorney of Los Angeles county, told about the panic of Eugene A. Clancy, after the Times explosion, of his fainting at the sudden sight of McManigal, District Attorney Miller introduced William Pepper of San Francisco, who gave further testimony regarding the boat pastime, in which Schmidty, J. B. Nc Namara and Caplan transported the nitroglycerin.
 The testimony of tha two attorneys coincided and was directed against Clancy. They said he admitted he

Fell After Two-Day Fiaht.

What part the Greeks played in th.. capture has not yet been ascertained. It is known the Greek army was marching to the assistance of the ser. vians and it is supposed the Greeks were able to cut of the Turkish re- treat to the south.
 The fighting which preceded the surrender of Monastir lasted two days. The Servians had occupied all the high points to the northwest of the town They brought up large nun. Der of field batteries, howitzers and other heavy guns, which enabled them to silence the Turkish artillery.
 Monastir was the headquarters of the Sixth Turkish army corps, com manded by Fethi Pasha, but many other Turkish troops fleeing from sur rounding towns which had been cap- tured by the Servians concentrated there. Djavid Pasha, commander of the Seventh Turkish army corps, went there with many of his soldiers after the fall of Uskup.
 Monastir occupied a capital posi-, tion for defense. It is the market sen- ter for the entire district and has a population of 45.000, composed of Ser, vians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Armen. ians, Greeks and Turks. The Chris. tians number about half of the in. habitants.
