 evening, and 1t is believed, handed to
 the foreign minister Bulgarias reply to
 the Turkish peace proposals. The coun- ell of ministers at a late hour was still sitting, discussing these.
 Accounts from the front confirm the statements that the Turkish forces are maintaining their positions on the Tcha- talja lines, but 1t is stated that the Bull garian attacks are of tentative nature. having as their object the feeling out of the Turkish position and their strength. official circles are much encouraged with the results of the various skirmishes which they think the Bulgarians must have found fairly costly. It is confirmed that several of the enemy's guns have
 been dismounted by the Turkish fire.
 These were not captured, however, be- cause they were fin supplements and could not be moved.
 According to reliable information the Greek troops are behaving badly at Sa- loniki. Under the pretext of searching for arms they are making house to house yisitations, 1t Is said, and using the op-

 Greek and Bulgarian troops have failed to fraternize as cordially as had been
 hoped for.

Washington, November 1s.-Edgar Ii. Farrar of New Orleans today sent by telegraph to Chairman Pujo has resig- nation as associate counsel for the House banking and currency committee in the conduct of the so-called money trust in vestigation. His principal reason was that h. was unable to spare time from his own affairs to serve the committee, with sam uel Untermeyer of New York as counsel.

Farrar said that would go into every fea- ture of the control by handful of men in New York of financial and transporta- tion inter ests.
 He said MT.

 Broods Over Strike
 Davis apparently had been breeding over the Southern Pacific shepmen's g strike of more than year ago, but he denied that he had been employed by tho company.
 ''They brought a lot of scabs out here and they overrun the country, taking the jobs away from other men," he said T wanted to see if the company wouldn't treat their men better. That was all l wanted"
 The internal machine was an ingenious contrivance with a large number of springs, and a wire lever attached to the hammer lock of an old army rifle. Davis hand was attached to the wire that led to this hammer lock detonation device.
 Officers searched Davis house tonight but found no explosives or anything that resembled internal machines. There were all sorts of eontrivapces and devices, numberless gears and lever arrangements. indicating that he had given much time to the study of mechanics.
 The would-be dynamiter was identi- fled tonight as Carl Warr. German laborer.
 In search of his home tax receipts besring that name were found and after much questioning by detectives the man admitted that 1t was his name. He said also that more explosives were secreted in the vicinity of the house and that when he recovered from hls injuries he would take the police to the hiding place.
 Warr said that he stole the dynamite from the poWder house of quarry at Bloomington, Cal, near colton. He made an impression of the lock and made keys which opened the powder

Turks Lost 5000 Men

London. November 2o.--A Belgrade dis patch to the Standard says that in the three days fighting at Monastir the losses numbered 20,O00. of which 5000 were Turks. The war spells were enormous and are estimated to be worth s10,0O0,0O0. They include 100000 rifles of the latest pattern, s2 wagons of ammunition and IS heavy guns. The lack of artillery, the most of which was lost in the re- treat from Kumanova, greatly handi- capped the Turkish resistance.
 King Peter, says the dispatch, may make 6 triumphal entry into Monastir. as the Servians wish to emphasize their occupation. The question as to which state was to possess this city was not included in the allies convention. Bull garia may claim it because 1t is situated in the Bulgarian district.
 The Greeks point out that the leading part of the population is of Greek na- tionaiity. Crown Prince Constantine, with the Greek army, will enter the town.
