Cannot Fight On Empty StOmaehs

Constantinople, Nov, 4.-(9 p- m. --
None of the powers have yet replied to
the porte's request for mediation.
The belief il held here that King Ferdi
nand will not bs sorry to accept Euro
pean intervention, as it is considered
that, after its tremendous sacrifices,
the Bulgarian army must be nearly ex-
hausted.
Abdullah Pasha, commander of the
Turkish eastern army, still is at Teher-
kessekeul, and at noon today Turkish
detachment destroyed an important
railway at Tchorlu.
1t now becomes clear that the de-
ficient commissariat was largely re-
sponsible for the Turkish reverses.
Turkish plans aimed at encircling the
Bulgarian forces by an advance on the
right wing. The Bulgarian general
concentrated his efforts on an attack
against the Turkish center at Serai
and the left wing along the railway.
The Turkish right was meeting with
much success, but the commissariat
broke down completely, owing partly
to bad weather, which made the road
difficult and prevented landing opera
tions &C the Turkish base, Midla.
Troops Without Food.
AS . consequence, Mahmoud Mukh-
tar Pasha, commanding the right, was
compelled to sacrifice the advantage
gained because his troops were with.
out food the whole day.
All preparations have been complet-
ed for the heir apparent to proceed h
the Turkish headquarters, accompanies
by Ghazi Ahmed Mukhtar Pasha, thu
recent grand vizier, but they have no
started.
It is asserted that the sultan him
self was deceived by Nazim Pasha'
optimistic reports and only realized tn
true situation when an English cruise
brought the latest news, which wa
conveyed TO the porte BY the British
ambassador. The porte then asked tn
powers to interviews.
The difficulty in maintaining orde
is increasing. 1t is said that mol
went to the war Office at Stamboul an'
asked for weapons with which to at
tack the Christians and this was VIII.
Kiamil fasha asked the British am
bassador to have warships at hand.

Glendive, the county seat and bust
ness center OF Dawson County, will not
be represented IN either branch OF the

part of the county, one representative

receives the necessary majority Of
electoral vote.
TIE law provides that the selection
OF president under these conditions
shall be thrown into thu hoase of re-
representatives.. The election of : pres
ident was thrown into the house in 1901,
and the complication which then arose
resulted In the twelfth Amendment to
the Constitution, which covers the
contingency which many persons think
may again arise as result of todays
election. It provides that the elector-
81 colleges shall meet and ballot in
tJaeiz respective states; that they shall
| prepare lists showing how they have
voted, which shall be transmitted to
the federal capitol and opened in a
session of the two houses Of congress
by the president Of the senate; that
the votes shall then be counted; that
the person having the greatest number
of electoral votes, if it be majority
shall be president, and that if there be
no such person the voting shall take
place in the house of representatives
and BY states.
Then comes the interesting possibil-
ity the house may not be able to elect.
The states in the house are co ually di-
vided politically. although the present
congress is democratic by numbers
In twenty-five states the majority Of
the delegation is republican and il
ian equal number of states the majority
is democratic Then there are fou
states where the delegation is equal.

entitled TO one vote only, no vote

should be combination between tht

other hand, or Roosevelt men and tn
democrats, on the other.

Socialist Mob Attacks Governor.

A socialist mob, urged on 20 a frenz-
led hatred Of American institutions and
form Of government by Seditious utter
ances of imported and local soap-box
orators, last night attacked q taxicab
bearing Gov. Edwin L. Norris. the
Hen. Z. ]. Walsh, democratic candi~
date for senator. and Sam v Stewart,
nominee for governor. to democratic
meeting 1t the Auditorium. Before
they permitted the tsxi to continue on
its way they smashed the windows,
fragments of glass cutting Mr. Walsh
cheek and AAx Stewards hand. The
assaults came as q demonstration of
the pent-up venom and hatred of the
socialist mob. which, at the direction
Of the party leaders, ceased its dis
ruptions OF democratic meetings o
week ago because OF the upheaval of
adverse sentiments their attacks
caused.
The auto, bearing the governor. with
Messrs. Stewart and Walsh was pre-
coded by the band, marching TO the
Auditorium. a crowd Of "soap- box
orators were speaking. adjacent to the
rear door on West Broadway, Of the
First National bank. The crowd per-
mitted the band to pass without dem
onstration, but when the automobile
bearing the governor and the two
state candidates, followed in it's wake,
It was stopped, men grasping the
wheels, the drivers seat and the hood.
The driver eadeavored TO proceed,
when burly fists were driven through
the windows, the splintered glass
showering down upon the occupants.
Fearing more violence, the taxi drivel
threw on the power and the machine
was driven fron the grasp Of those
who were holding it. Then, annie
boots. catcalIs and tie most insulting
abuse, it proceeded on It's way TO tn
Auditorium.
This demonstration apparently dis
mot suffice to rid ths socialists OF theii
spleen, for during the speaking tn
orators frequently referred IL any

TOUCHED THEIR SOFT HEART
In the Circumstances, Expressed Hope
of Irish Youths Seemed Some
what Humorous.

Supreme Court Justice Cohalan Of
New York, who is proud OF his Irish
blood, also believes that for keen wit
and humor no race in the world equals
the Irish, The justice spent the
greater part Of last summer on the
"ould sod" and when he came home
he had acquired great fund of funny
anecdotes illustrative of the often I'M
conscious humor of the natives he
met.
He tells a story of two husky lads
who were tenants of the same land
owner and who were constantly en-
sbroiled either with the man himself or
one of his agents, At last things came
to such pass that the two decided
to way1ay their landlord. They chose
1 a favorable spot along the road over
which they knew the landlord must
travel that afternoon and crouched in
the ditch waiting. To beguiie the
time each told the other part of the
punishment he had devised for the
landlord
Said one, "Oi'Il tap him on the heat
wild me blackthorn and whin he falls
OH step on his face an"
The other interrupted: 'Oi name tt
cut off his ears, split his nose an l.
he makes a fuss Oi'll slit his weaz
and"
They kept up the bloodthirsty con
versation for some time and at last
one noticed the day was almost done
and that it was far past the time when
the landlord might have been expect
ed to pass. He interrupted his san
culinary threats to call the attention
of his companion to the fight OF time
and the non-appearance of the man
they expected, exclaiming:
"Och, the poor felley. Oh hope moth
FMS happened him!"
