MEDIATION MAY BE NEAR,
SAYS FRENCH PREMIER
M. Poincare Recognizes That the Worlds
tranquility Is Threatened by an "Ex-
plosion Of Incompressible Forces.
lis, Oct. 27.-The answering fidel- /.

Paris, Oct. 2T.-The answering fidel-
ity Of the Triple Entente was the key
note Of Premier Poincare's speech at
Nantes this afternoon, in which the
Premier, as is customary on the eve OF
the reassembling of the Chamber,
placed before the country the views OF
the government with reference to botn
external and internal affairs.
NJ. Poincare lost no time in shatter-
ing the idea that, in collaborating with
Germany in the search for a means to
re-establish peace in the Balkans,
France was preparing to modify the
lines of her external policy.
1--WE have no thought Of changing
our friendships" he said, referring to
illusions in the foreign newspapers.
The ties binding us to Russia and
Great Britain are interviewer imperish-
ably. They are dictated by sentiment,
interest and political probity. &.
Nothing can sever an entente the solid
ity of which continues to be indispen-
able to the maintenance of European
equilibrium"
NJ. Poincare went on to say: I'VE
find in this lasting intimacy one Of the
best reasons for he hope that the war
will be confined to the Balkan States,
and can be arrested by Europe at the
earliest opportune moment"
The Premier dwelt on the constant
activities in the concord Of powers and
the necessity for sustaining the vital
ity OF the concert in order to prevent
the inevitable diversity OF interests
from degenerating into dissension and
conflict" so that joint mediation might
be undertaken at the proper time. His
nearest approach TO information in this
connection, however, was the statement
that the day OF mediation is perhaps
near"
He made an eloquent appeal to the
nation. at moment when the tram
auilllty Of the world was threatened by
an explosion Of inCompressible forces,
to rally around the national ideal and
crush out all "isms" tending to weaken
the French Republic and show to the
world a united people, who do not
want war. but at the same time do not
fear IT,"

NINETEEN MADE BLIND

Welding on Trolley Wire.

Anderson, Ind. oct. 27-Nineteen
persons are reported to have been
stricken blind as a result of gazing at
a light caused by workmen welding
with an electrical process on a trolley
wire early to-day, according to local
physicians. who We're called out of bed

strike some who saw the light until
several hours later Practically all Of
the nineteen persons affected were kept

DR.. f. w Chittenden, a local eye
specialist, stated that in each case at
tended by him the inside Of the eye
lid was greatly irritated. He gave as
his theory that the peculiar rays of
light given out by the walding process
caused the quick development of bac-
terra already lodged in the eye, and
blindness resulted.

A young French noblewoman, in
search of fresh air and an opportunity
to see New York as cheaply as possible,
arrived here yesterday on the Cunard
liner Carmania, from Liverpool. She is
the Viscountess D'Etchgoyer. She is
tall her hair is of bright golden
color and she is pretty.
Titles" she said. What are they?
They are smoke. hate them. I'd
rather by a great deal have American
dollars than a title"
AS she said this she unloosed from
her neck a black fox stole which a
customs official said was worth Sl,SOO.
Her gown was one of those costly
things which dressmakers bring to this
country and sell at a big profit. Rich
Jewels adorned her throat, ears and
fingers, and yet the viscountess re-
iterated the assertion that she was
poor Beside her stood her mother-in-
law, the Countess D'Etchgoyer, and
her brother-in-law, Adelbert Ditch
goyer.
The belongings of the viscountess
were appraised at several thousand
dollars, but as she will return to Liv-
erpool on the Carmania on Saturday
they were admitted TO the country
duty free.

Delaware. n. j., Oct. 2I.-Four per-
sons were drowned in the Delaware
River off here this afternoon when two
automobiles were Knocked off fiat

and Miriam Gilbert and Nathan Trump,
children of fifteen or sixteen. They
had motored through New Jersey
points and were on their way to Shaw
nee. Penn When they reached Mayors
Ferry, at this place, they found a fiat
boat waiting. Both machines ran on
the craft and the start was made for
the other side.
When the fatboat got nearly across
the river a huge raft coming down the
current struck the boat with such
force that it hurled the two sutomO-
biles from it and sent the fiatboat
heading back 10 the Jersey shore.
Four Of those in the machines went
down with them and were drowned.
Mr.. Gilbert and Mr.. Trump were
thrown into the water and swan to

The Bulgarians did not possess a

greatest difficulties the attacking army
had TO overcome was the lack OF roads.
1t was necessary to descend by horrible
paths, which the bad weather rendered
almost impracticable, and the artillery
WAS advanced by the aid OF hundreds
Of troops.
Four divisions under General Dimi-
trieff, one OF the most accomplished
and daring commanders in Europe,
formed a sort OF immense flying coll
umn. Every one carried rations to last
for several days and an extra supply
of ammunition. 1t was imperative to
conquer quickly for it was impossible

Mexico City, Oct. 27-The popular
apprehension regarding the fate Of
General Felix Diaz, the revolutionary
leader, has not been greatly allayed by
the suspension of execution.
The uncertainty as to what is going on
at Vera Cruz has served to increase the
tenseness Of the situation. The friends
Of Diaz still fear the consequences of
the conflict OF authority which has
arisen between the judiciary and mill
tary courts. II the military court OBJ

shot without much more ado. The pro-
ceedings of the military court have
been criticised generally as being very
deficient. Public opinion has been
strongly against a military trial for

that the prisoners had an inadequate

troops entered the city with white

Colonel Diaz Ordaz and Captain
Cuesta we're among the leaders Of the

that they will join the Oaxaca rebels.
General Diaz had more than 1000 men
under his banner 800 of whom were
made prisoners.

a skirmish prior to the taking Of Vera
Cruz, has been sent to Mexico City for

Englishman had his fitted at the

Fish prices continue firm, the reduc-
ton in the price Of shad being the only
cut. Buck" shad are bringing 30
cents each, while roe shad are 50
cents. They were bringing twice that
amount a short time ago before the
"shad runs in the Potomac and other
Chesapeake bay tributaries began.
Catfish are running rather small,
bringing around 20 cents for a fair sized
bunch. Perch are selling at cents per
pound at the wharf rock bass bring
ing IL cents.
The Norfolk boat brought a large
amount of fish from Norfolk and other
points this morning, which was eager
ly snapped up by waiting buyers.
The oyster trade has diminished
sharply with the coming of spring,
practically all the larger boats having
stopped running. The supply on hand
Is brought in small, one-mast schoon-
ers from shallow water longing points.
The oysters are of excellent quality and
sell at so cents per bushel in large
quantities or IS cents per single bushel
