 TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Suffered Hardships Which Nearly Cost
 His Life in Frozen North.

Sydney, N. S, Nov. 10.-The Rev. Percy Braughton, missionary of the Anglican church among the Esquimaux of Baffiand, reached here today still suffering from hardships which nearly cost his life in the far north. He strayed from his guides while on an expedition from the mission station at Lake Harbor last March. In trying to make his way back off the coast the ice was broken up by a strong wind. He jumped into the water and made shore, but with two nights spent in the open his wet feet became so badly frozen that he finally had to crawl on his hands and knees to an Esquimaux village, where some ill-advised natives applied heat to the frozen feet The lay for three months in agony. His cook probably saved his life by cutting off all the toes of the right foot The mission ship arrived in August and doctor on board per- formed two more operations.
 By relays from three different steamers the Rev Braughton reached here on the Boethic, S4 days from Lake Harbor He is still scarcely able to walk, but after a visit to his native England he hopes to be able to return to his charge.

COAL OPERATORS HAVE
 NOT ADVANCED PRICES.
Issue Statement Saying They Have No
 Intention of Doing So.

New York, Nov, 10-Because of the uneasiness regarding the supply of anthracite and the fact that some con- sumers are complaining that an ab- normally high price is asked for coal, the committee of operators today is- sued a statement in which they say: "The larger mining companies are holding absolutely to their circular prices. They have not advanced these to the dealers to whom they sell and have no intention of doing so. By far the greater part of the total an thracite output Is being sold by the original producers at the circular prices"
 The statement concludes: "The op- orators are convinced that though this years production is behind last years, consumers will not suffer- for want of coal if they will content themselves with moderate purchases for the time an dnot attempt to lay in a large store in advance and thus create an artifi- cial scarcity"

BuIgarans Hammering Away at Turkish Lines and
 Turkish Government Loses Hope
15o,ooO MEN KILLED OR WOUNDED THUS FAR
Despatch of Religious Fanatics to the Front Believed to lnd
 cate Turkeys Desperation Reported to Have Captured Two Towns-Choera Breaks Out in Turkish Amy-Allies Won't Agree to Independence of Albania

London, Nov 10-The Bulgarian at- tack on the Tchatalja lines goes on un- relentingly. According to a corres- pendent at the front, further Turkish positions have been captured but their location has not been indicated, in accordance with the invariable Bulga- rian plan never to reveal information to the enemy.
 Two More Towns Captured.
 There is another unconfirmed rumor that MOnastir has been captured. This and the capture of Dibra, an import ant town in Alvania, by the Servians after heavy fighting constitute all the military news of importance since Saturday.
 150, 0,000 Men Hers de Combat.
 Some idea of the bloody nature of this war may be formed from the fact that it is now estimated that 10000 men have been put out of action cn both sides since the opening of histili- ties The Turkish government clearly has little hope of holding tEe Tchatal- ia lines. The despatch of 100 Ulemds to the front with the avowed inten- t on to stir Up religious fanaticism in the arm k interpreted as thc counsel of despair.
 Turkey Playing For Time.
 There is no confirmation of the re- port that the Turkish government has opened direct negotiations with the al- lies Turkeys immediate object ap pears to be to gal ntime, hoping for something from the rivalries of the European powers. She is also making urgent diplomatic efforts to prevent the Bulgarians from entering Con- stantinople. In this connection there is an idee prevalent in Sofia that some important diplomatic action is afoOt to this end.
 Austra's Attitude. With regard to the difficulty be- l tween Servia and Austria, the Vienna Reichspost in denying that any com mon action by the triple alliance in Belgrade is intended, says thai Austria has no egotistical plans regarding AL baflia, but is only anxious tO preserve Q Albanian national and political free dom, and. in this object, has the sup port of Germany and italy. But, the | paper adds, the mere assurance by 1 Servia that she would not fortify her | harbor in Adriatic would give little security and her passage through AL banfa cannot be conceded.
 Albanian Independence Impractical.
 According to an inspired statement, the view of the Balkan allies is that an autonomous Albania, instead of contributing to the peace of the Bal kans would be source of perpetual ] trouble and disorder among the AL banian people themselves, who have never been independent, have no 1a- l tional feeling and are of various re- ligious faiths and nationalities, with nc common language, not even an alpha bet and do not form a homogeneous unit. These disorders, it is urged would inevitably spread to the sur rounding states, and, Instead of per manent settlement, Europe would be

INTERNAL TROUBLES.
Turkish Feeling, National and Relis-

Constantinople, Nov. 10- Uncensor- ed).-The situation has taken a turn for the worse. A grave internal crisis seems to be impending on the one hand the position of the government is seriously compromised because the army repudiates the mediation pro- posals. On the other hand the conn mittee of union and progress Is giving evidence of renewed activity, while Turkish feeling, both national and re- ligious, is being worked to fever pitch by the preaching in the mosques and the impassioned language Of the press.
 The most serious feature of the sit- uation is the weakness of the govern ment in having, first, to apply for mediation to secure an armistice, later requesting mediation pure and simple, and then being virtually obliged 70 yield to the army. which repudiated mediation.
