TURKEY IN TROUBLE
WITH MONTENEGRO
Gives Little Nelghbor Twenty-Four
Hours to Explain Violation
of the Frontier.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 6.-Tur-
key gave Montenegro twenty-four
hours today to explain the latest
Montengrin violation of the Turkish
frontier. Unless satisfaction is given
the SULTAN will sever diplomatic re-
lations with King Nicholas. In deliv-
ering his ultimatum to Nicholas, the
Turkish minister at Cettinie plainly
intimated that war will follow break
in relations.
Montenegro is north and west OF
Albania. The Montenegrians are re-
lated to the Albanians by race and re-
ligion. King Nicholas is also ambi-
tious to add northern Albania to Mon
tenegro Montenegrin guerillas have
aided the Albanian rebels against the
Turkish troops and 1t is no secret
that Nicholas winked at it.
The Montenegrin and Russian royal
families are also closely connected
and the car probabably would back
Nicholas with troops, as he has long
done with Montenegro,
That the sultan will choose the
strongest man he can find, place full
authority in his hands and have him
declare a temporary dictatorship is
more than likely today.
The present situation is impossible.
There is no cabinet. The chamber OF
deputies is in recess and cannot re-
assemble without being forcibly dis
solved by the troops Martial law
prevails In the capital. The young
Turkish leaders are armed and bar
ricaded in their houses, fearing assas-
sination. The military league Is
threatening death to the young Turks
and the sultan's deposition. Bad news
has been received from Tripoli. War
il imminent with Montenegro. Cav
airy patrols keep order in the streets
at present, but at any moment fight
ing may break out again In spite OF
them.
In short, anarchy reigns.
The names of Kiamil Pasha and
Chefket Fasha are most prominently
mentioned for the dictatorship.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Speculative Gossip.

Chicago. April 6.-Sentiment among
wheat traders was inclined to be bull
ish with any encouragement in the
way of a confirmation Of the unfavor-
able crop reports, especially from Me-
braska and northern Kansas. Traders
say that they expect the markets will
be affected largely from now on by
the weather crop advices. With the
high prices for coarse grains the nat
ural tendency is to make the average
wheat trader timid about taking the
bear side and staying there, even
though stocks here are large and cash
demand slow. Many of the commits
sion houses advised against short sales
OF wheat except on sharp bulges.
There are a few professionals who are
bearish and are giving their attention
to July and September which they re-
gard as most susceptible to legitimate
influences. Corn bulls maintain their
position and say that the advance in
cash prices is and will be, the con-
trolling factor for some time TO come.
Traders who were in the pit all day
said they saw increasing evidence Of
profit taking by commission houses
and local spectators who have been
on the bull side for several weeks be-
came scared at the high prices and
thought that it vas a good time to
get out. It was also noticeable hat a
number of the pit traders who have
been bearisI were over on he bull side.

TALCOTT MAKING
GOOD PROGRESS
SECRETARY OF STATE FAIR HAS
LINED UP MANY ATTRACTIONS
FOR THE COMING STATE FAIR
THIS YEAR-pEAN CURTIS WILL
BE STOCK JUDGE.

Sec. Frank S. Talcott of the North
Dakota State Fair association, is max
ing rapid progress with the work of
the fair so that the big spectacle
promises this year to be one of the
biggest that has ever been attempted
in the state. A number Of very fine
attractions have already been booked
and the secretary is much pleased with
the in which the stock men of
North Dakota and contiguous states
have responded to the invitation he has
issued to them to place their exhibits
here in July.
This morning a contract was closed
with the Barkoot Amusement Co.,
which will bring to the fairgrounds at
Fargo one of the f1nest entertain
ents that has ever been seen here.
The Barkoot Amusement Co. has sell
dom been seen in the west at all and
this will be it's first appearance in the
northwest, as most Of its exhibitions
have been in the eastern and south
ern states prior to this time.
The Barkoot people will have from
fifteen to twenty separate shows, all
Of which will be novel attractions de-
cidedly out Of the ordinary. In addi-
ton to this a contract has been closed
with the Russian dancers who have
beer appearing this winter at the New
York hippodrome and with the famous
Nelson, the wonderful cyclist who
rode over the tightwire across Niagara
Falls a year or so ago with the gyro-
scope attachment. to his bicycle. The
feat was considered marvellous at the
time and astonished the whole world
and at Fargo this summer he will
perform a number of his hazardous
feats.
Secretary Talcott is very much
pleased with the manner in which the
stockmen OF North Dakota and con-
tiguous states have responded to the
invitations he has issued to exhibit
their stock here next July. He is also
gratifed to announce that Charles F.
