The Austro- Hungarian minister in

How Statute Applies.

The present statute applies only to
artisans or laborers employed in GER
tain specified branches of the public
service or in certain hazardous occu-
pations under the government. Any
workman covered by the act who is In
jured in the course of his employment
is entitled to receive for one year there
after. unless sooner able to resume
work. the same pay as if he continued
to be employed, except where the in
jury was due to his own negligence or
misconduct. If the injury results in
death during the year the compensa-
ton allowed is payable to the widow
or children or dependent parent.
Mr.. Earl emphasizes that feature OF
the act which permits of the establish
ment of a simple and direct mode of
procedure, whereby the technicalities
and delays are avoided and the relief
provided can speedily be given, and the
further feature whereby the govern
ment is forbidden to exempt itself
from liability by any contract, agree
ment, rule or regulation.

Great Nations Tremble.

London, Nov. 12.-Europe is facing
one of the most critical weeks in her
history 1t may end in a war in which
the whole of Europe will be involved,
or it may be remembered as week
in which diplomacy succeeded in solY-
ing problems which appeared insolu-
BILE to many.
The Bulgarian army is on the point
of entering Constantinople and this
will be resented by Russia. At the
same time, the Turkish capital is
threatened with massacre from with

and Servia, which, if it is not arrang-

The most hopeful sign is the fact
that moderating influences are being
brought to bear by Germany, the close
ally of Austria-Hungary. and by Bull

Little Battle News.

AS to the actual fighting little news
is coming through The port Of Ro-
dosto, on the Sea of Marmora. which
the Turkish fleet bombarded Sunday.
is reported from Vienna to have been
recaptured by the Turks. This report,
however lacks confirmation.
The situation in Adrianople contin-
ues something of riddle. The Bulga-
rians claim to have absolutely sur
rounded the city A short cable dis
patch. however, has been received
from within the Turkish lines. This
had been sent Off on Saturday and
somehow reached Odessa. II repeated
the claim made by a Turkish official
dispatch OF a Bulgarian reverse in the
Maras zone.
The Turkish authorities. owing to
the protests Of the foreign ambassa-
doris. now disclaim any intention Of
proclaiming a holy war They give
labored explanations that the sending
of a hundred Mohammedan priests to
preach to the troops does not really
mean holy war They say their in
tention was to inspire the Turkish
troops with religious fervor.
Cholera Among Wounded.
A special dispatch from Conttanti-
nople says that in the opinion OF Eu-
ropean physicians the disease which
has broken out among the wounded
is certainly cholera Several battal-
ions of Syrian troops have been repa-
triated, apparently on account of choI-
era.
The dispatch adds that Their are So

ed in the lighting yet, and as they are

HEARING IF
 RAILROAD MEN
Corporation Commission Il Probing the Matter of Rates Charged for Pass enger Transportation Railroad Officials and Counsel Here.

Phoenix is entertaining numerous distinguished railroad men and at torneys who represent them, the Oc- casion being q hearing before the corporation commission in response to summons by that body The commission had previously notified the various railroads doing business in Arizona that on the 22nd it would be ready to receive testimony show ing why passenger rates should not be reduced. The railroad men were rather at sea as to what to do or say as there was no specific action mentioned by the commission and they hardly knew what they were called upon to controvert. It seemed to be a demand for a general eN- planation of why they had any passen- ger rates at all, or made any charges for transportation.
 The forenoon was spent largely in trying to find out what was wanted

All of the animals at the Regents Park Zoo are not merely ornamental and the directors are adding to the working force this spring by break ing in several ostriches and llamas to ride and drive The best workers are the elephants and camelS, which not only provide favorite mounts for the children visitors, but are used about the park for hauling supplies and providing motive power for lawn mowers.
 The ostrich trainers have been hay ing exciting times with the three birds which they are breaking to the saddle. A buclinS broncho is a rock ing chair compared to one of the birds in the obstreperous mood. and several of the riders have not only suffered the humiliation of being thrown but have been kicked by their mounts before they could re gain their feet
