Bechthold in Italy

Pisa, Italy, October 21.-Count Von Bechthold, the Austro-Hungarian minis ter of foreign affairs, arrived here this evening for conference with the Italian foreign minister, Marquis Di Giuliano, on the international political situation. The presence here also of the Austrian ann bassador to Italy and the Italian ambas- sador to Austria emphasizes the import ance of the meetings which will be large ly concerned with plans for further ce- menting the accord between the powers.
 The exchange of views is expected to result in an understanding and to allay jealousies of Austria and Italy over their respective interests in the Balkans. II is believed a frank discussion will re- move the danger of clashes during the war and strengthen the authority of the European concert while the time for in- tervention arrives.
 The naval situation in the Mediterran- can as affected by Frances concentra- ton of her fleets there, will be discussed and the renewal of the triple alliance in 1914 will be reviewed. This subject, how ever, is likely to be studied more closely at Berlin in November when the Italian foreign minister will visit the impera chancellor.

Ambassador Speaks

Washington. October 21.-Breaking si- lence for the first time since the war broke in the Balkans. Youssouf Zia Pacha, Turkish ambassador to Washing ton, tonight made statement in which he declared hostilities could be charged directly to the Balkan states that the trouble would be short lived and that these countries should be punished for their 'impertinency."
 The ambassador pointed to the attitude of the European powers in attempting to prevent the outbreak of the present trou- bles and to numerous telegrams received from Christians all over the United States offering their services to fight for Tur- key as basis for his statement that the Christians were not perseeuted. He declared the Balkan states, discovering that Turkey was about to institute re- forms and knowing they could not de- clare a religious war had attempted to inspire a revolution in Macedonia.
 The Turkish army. he continued, was better prepared than ever to go to war as a result of it's recent strife with Italy. The Turkish losses were not as great as reported. the amba ssador insisted, and Turkey could put one million men In the field immediately. He added that the Turkish treasury was in excellent condi- ton, and that the revenues had increased $33 COG. 600 under the new regime.

 FOR HIDDEN ARMS
Revenue Officers Board Vessel in Mobile
 Harbor

Mobile, October 1.-The schooner l.. M.
 Dantzler was boarded and searched here
 this morning by United States revenue of
 ficers. Although government officials re-
 fuse to ma&e any statement 1t Is said
 upon good authority that munitions of
 war destined for Mexico, were found in
 the cargo
 The boat was searched by the revenue cutter Winona at Paseagoula, Miss, some days ago. Nothing then was found of a
 suspicious character Since the vesse. has been at Mobile the officials for three days have suspected her of loading at night arms and ammunition for the Mex ican rebels et Vera Cruz under Felix Diaz. When the search was made tine
 boat was apparently about half laden. Captain Freemont, who has in the past been connected with filibustering eXpedi-
 tions, is in command of the craft and government officials on the ground are looking for him. He has not been seen since last night.
 Collector Ashley was asked the direct
 question whether or not the vessel WAS in
 custody. although admitting the search, declined to make any further statement. United States Marshal Deans was eqnal- | ly as uncomnunicative. That the vessel l is in the custody of the United States l officials is generally understood on the | levee. It is also said that the searching party left officers on board.
 | The Dantzler was purchased some time ago from the Dantzler Lumber company
 of Pascagoula- Mrs. by unknown parties | At the time ;he purchase was made 1t was
 reported that representatives of the MeXi'

 Camdens meeting was an innovation for this campaign. a play was given in the theatre and at the close of the per formance the governor spoke.
 Governor Wilson's labor record was his main topic. This was a subject Colonel Roosevelt had just begun to handle when he was shot. It was learned that all the material Colonel Roosevelt was to have used will be utilized by Governor John son, Tonight the governor spoke only of the Joine letter and Governor Wilson S address to the Princeton graduating class in 1909.
 Governor Wilson's attitude as shown in these two instances show his whole atti- tude toward labor organizations changed after he became a candidate for office ' Governor Johnson said.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
of Sin'-and of Proof

Correction of Sin'-and of Proof To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Your readers who Loyalty struggled through my contribution on Sunday en- titled 'tThe Correction of Sin" would have no clue to the real title, which was Conviction of Sin But those among them who love Dickens would perhaps find 1t easy to identify Mrs. Sairy Camp as the redoubtable Mrs Camp; Mark Tapley was indeed turned into Lap- ley. but could hardly find an alias there in: Ralph Nieklely and Pecksniff escaped unhurt ducky scoundres) but poor Scrooge was worse off than when the ghost got through with him; was all doubled Up and distorted with rheu- matism, through undue expossuTe He was dubbed "Seryage" whereat we may begin movement for famliarizing the modern printer with the English classics Perhaps we must also start up another movement to compel every scribbler to use a Remington or an Underwood or some other sort Of writing machine. un- happily for me. the clicking of the keys tanges my gray matter, and I forfeit all claims to literature by the process of getting the miserable words set down so plain that the wayfaring man. though fbol, should not err therein.'
 Anyhow the changed title Is justified. for here Is an excellent opportunity for the correction" of sins. only I am amazed that so soon a Dickens gallery is without meaning to my brethren in the Typogr phicsl union, GEO. EAVES.

Parker AstOunded

New York. October Y.-Judge Alton B. Parker, democratic presidential candi- da ate in 1904 said tonight he was astounded at the colossal contributions to the democratic campaign fund in that year by Thomas F. Ryan, as revealed in the testimony before the Clapp committee in Washington today.
 q have read the testimony of MT. Ryan, said Judge Parker, and 1 am astounded. l was always under the im- pression that MT. Ryan and MT. Belmont were leading contributors to the demo- cratic campaign because the press said so, but that they were colossal contribu- tors as now appears, I never knew. MT. Belmont favored my nomination and MT. Ryan vigorously opposed it.
 "It now appears from MT. RSan's tes- timony that late in the campaign when my election was not even hoped for by him. he paid vast sum of money to meet debts of the national committee, that the honor of the democratic party might not be impunged. August Belmont is said to have joined in that undertake ing Neither they nor their friends ever gave to me hint of this interest-not for the candidate-but for the party to which the were attached For eight years now they have suffered reproach, but ] for one doff my hat to them. For the honor of the democratic party-not in the hope Of electing Us candldate-fOr us defeat was amply assured in the closing weeks of the campaign, daily made good the obligations of the organization. not out of the funds of the corporation, but of their own pockets.
 "One outcome Of the campaign of 1904 is the abolition of corporate contribu- tions by federal statutes and by the statutes of this and many other states. These statutes, supplemented as they |, lst ,.f.fo fnp mn h. lication of contributions with the names of contributors, ultimately will do away with the practice of raising large sums Of money to make merchandise of the votes of citizens and for this all good citizens will be thankful"
