Custody of the great seal Is one
Of the most important duties under
taken by the British lord chancellor
in return for his $50.000 year. This
responsibility gave Lord Brougham an
time during his tenure Of
the chancellorship. When staying
with the duke OF Bedford, in Scotland
some of the women in the house
amused themsel, es by abstracting the
seal from BrcIgham's room. The
chancellor was SO frantic when he
discovered the loss that his tormen-

the seal in the drawing room and

POINTS OUT SEVERAL THINGS
THAT TEND TO SHOW MRS.
MCOMAS WAS MURDERED-AND
WAS NOT A SUICIDE.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-Grave
doubts that the bullet which killed
beautiful Mrs. Jean Wiswell McCo-
mas, wife of wealthy mining engin-
eer was fired by herself were voiced
here today by DR.. David Stafford,
city physician, after a minute exam
ination of the wound inflicted on the
woman in her apartments here, after
she had quarreled with her husband.
McComas has been released by the po-
lice, who announced they will take no
further action in his case unless re-
Qulred to do so by Coroner Leland.
at appears extremely doubtful to
me that the bullet which ended the
life of Mrs. McComas was fired by
herself" was DR.. Stafford's report to
Coroner Leland. "0f course, the sur
geons who operated on her at Adlers
sanitarium must have destroyed some
of the traces which would have helped
to decide just how the injury was in
flicted, but it is my personal opinion
that she could never have done it her
self l found three portions of the
bullet in the woman's brain, and If
any part of the slug went through
the ceiling, as claimed, It must have
been a very small piece Of lead.
No Powder Marks.
81 found also a bruise on the flesh
near the bullet hole which might
have been received when the woman
fell after being shot, or may have
been made by a blow with some blunt
instrument 1t is hard to tell it is.
but | will say It looks unlike a blow
received in falling.
zone more fact is that there were
absolutely no powder marks or burns
about the wound The trephining
operation could not have obliterated
these"
Mrs. McComas' body is being held
at an undertaker's, and It was an
nounced today that no arrangements
have yet been made for its disposal.

Conway killed Sophia Singer" she

as to perpetrate the act Of placing this
circular under the door of the Salem

in Salem feel deeply the odlum that Is
cast upon them by the rumored sus-
plclon that labor unions were in any
way connected with the deplorable ac.

unfortunate that circular letter
which is issued regularly TO members
of affiliated unions only should have
been issued just Immediately before
the awful accident occurred The

publication Of the circular last Friday
night The rumor has been heard that
Mayor Lachmund was responsible for

Scutarl viii Fall.

But little more information has been
CLEANED of the fortunes of the Monte
negrin campaign before Scutari. Lat
est accounts were that the allies there
were closely investing that fortress,
and that an intermittent cannonade
was being maintained by the Monte
negrins from the heights surrounding
the city. 1t is doubtful whether any
serious attempt to reduce the city is
being made, as the Montenegrin COM
nanders are loath to sacrifice unnec-
essary lives and are aware of the fact
that the success Of the Bulgarian cam
paign before Constantinople would
be the certain surrender of Scutari.
Greek Fleet Is Aiding.
Some light on the Greek activities
came today in a report from Katarine
that a Greek torpedo boat had sunk
Turkish cruiser off Salonika. This
dispatch clears the mystery which has
hung about large part of the Greek
feet, making it almost certain that it

province opposite the advancing
Greek army and is prepared to aid
that force in an assault upon Salonika
city. on which the main force Of the
Servian army is also converging from

Il Is believed here, however, that no
further great battle may be looked for
IN the western part Of European Tur-
key unless a serious reverse for the
Bnlgarians shall come before Con-
atantInople, thus giving new heart TO
the Turkish cause.

COnStantinOple Is at Their
Mercy The Only Thing that
Can Save 1t Being Inter-
VentiOn By the Powers

Vienna, Nov. 1.--Indicatlon that the
Victorious Bulgarians, after only about
two weeks fighting, today are batter
Ing on the very gates of Constantin-
ople, reached here today in dispatches
from the front by way of Semlin, Hun
gary These advices, although uncon-
frmed as yet are fully credited here.
They state that the Bulgars have cap
tured Tchorlu and thus are in position
to turn the last line of Turkish de-
tense.
So far no confirmation has been re-
reived here Of Sofia reports that Ma
zim Pasha, the Turkish commander,
bps either been captured or shot in
tie last big clash with the Bulgars,
where his army was defeated and
forced back to the Tchorlu-Serai line
of defense, Neither has the report
that the Bulgars have occupied Rodos-
to, the port on the sea of Marmora,
Through which Turkey has been pour
ing her Asian troops to play their
part in the war, been absolutely con-
firmed. Little doubt is entertained
here, however, that if General Savoff,
the Bulgarian commander, has taken
Tchorlu that he has also seized Ro-
dosto, and if he should have done so,
Turkeys Asian forces practically will
be cut off from the struggle and the
Sultans only hope will lie in the army
he now has in the field.
Powers VIII Have to Hurry.
Whether the Bulgars will be able to
Tout the Turks still before Constan-
flnople and enter the city before pow
ers intervene is the question which is
absorbing military observers here.
Austria and Russia are both ready for
any eventuality but it is seriously
doubted If the Bulgar flag once flies
over Constantinople whether any
thing short of cannon would force the
christians again to relinquish the city
to the domination of the Turk.
Little information reached here to-
day Of the progress being made by the
Bulgarians before Adrianople, and it
is believed the reservists being utilized
there are content to hold the Turkish
garrison inert until such time as the
greater issue before Constantinople is
dacided
