tor Carter West was refused to-day by
the Judges Of the Kings Bench Division.

cIded to extradite him at the request OF
the German authorities.
This decision was reversed to-day on
appeal. the judges deciding that the evil

commercial future OF the United states
was absolutely settled by the corn crop
and that immediate prosperity was GER

HARD FIGHTING BETWEEN
ADRIANOPLE AND THE SEA
Kirk Kiliseh Scene of the First
Turco Bulgarian Engagement
-Constantinople Quiet.

Constantinople, oct. 1S.-Heavy hght-
ing is reported to have been in progress
throughout the day in the region about
Kirk-Kiliseh, east-northeastward OF
Adrianople, about fifty miles from the
BLACK Sea. Large forces were engaged
on both sides.
An official report issued to-nigh'
saws that the Greek army has attacked
the Turks in the region or Meluna
Pass and that the battle continues.
Ne,una Pass is on the northeastern
frontier Of Greece and just south OF
Elassona, Turkey.
The departure from Constantlnopie
to-day of the Balkan ministers was not
attended by any hostile demonstration

and NJ, Gryparis, the Greek Minister
or,barked an AustrianL Lloyd steamers
bound respectively for Varna and the
Pireus. while DR.. j. NenadoVich' the
servian representative sailed on Fu-
manian steamer for Kustenje.
Doubt prevaned up to the last mo-
ment whether Greece finally wouio
throw i'm her lot with her Balkan az
lies. 1t is an unquestionable fact that
the Turkish government made serious
efforts 10 have Greece withdraw her
allegiance 10 the confederation. IL
seems probable, however, that turkey
was prompted in this respect chiehy oS
a desire to gain time In view OF the
superiority Of the Greek fleet IN the
Hgean Sea.
Turkey also at the last moment
offered TO send new minister "
Athens-one who would be more ac-
ceptable TO the Greeks than Mukhtar
Bey--but this effort likewise proved un-
successful In wardfhg off Greece's dec
laration Of hostilities.

try Of nOn-Cabinet rank, made the fol-
lowing statement at Bethnal Green
last night regarding the war:
This war in the East is going TO be
such a big thing that next week or the
week after very few people In this
country will be taking any interest in
what is going on in Parliament. | am

been right through the district which
is now the scene Of the war. and ! ask
you TO take sympathetic view toward
those who are fighting In the cause Of
liberty and progress and who have
been suffering for years owing 10 the
murders and pillage Of the Turks.
Il hope this country will give them
some aid in the way Of subscriptions
for the wounded. Bulgaria, Servia,
Greece and Montenegro were made
free thirty years ago in the Russo
Turkish war, and received a setback
by the, intervention OF Disraeli If at
the end OF the present struggle there
comes another opportunity for our In

done in 1s78-that is to say, put our
money on the wrong horse.
