and for so many centuries as has been the case in
the Balkans, not much more Of Rrebrand than
this Is needed to set the conhagration going anew.
The. news flashed into every hamlet that Austria had
ndorsed what the propagandsts agitators, and revo
lutonists had been preaching for years, and that
Europe had assented. No other word could have
come which would have served well to calm local
jealousies and render possible coalition Of states
intensely antagonistic among themselves. No one
state could do anything against Turkey. United they
can tax her strength to the utmost
In the face Of the Berchtold proposition the
powers assurance to the coalition that whatever the
wars outcome, there shall be no contraction of the
Sultans European possessions is inconsistent and
sinister Any Macedonian territory acquired by a
Ealkan state is lost to Europe The fate Of Roumea
proved that much. The partition Of Macedonia into
states nominally under Turkish sovereignty could
suit only in their sometime acquisition by the powers
Its partition into states subject to- their absorption
by the present Balkan prncipalities would forever
prevent this
In following up his proposals the Balkan races
have apparently followed what, from the powers
standpoint, is the wrong road

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-An involuntary

The liabilities Of the firm are placed at

In his application James N. Rosen-

the company is without funds to meet
oh. igations, and that Its president, Salo
Jackson, has been absent from the city
for about a week. ".
An Inventory of the company's imam

Since 1s41, when the poor, monde

MRS. EDDY'S SUCCESSORS.

II Is interesting that the choice Of tho exact
agents who are to administer the fortune Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy left to the Christian Science Church,
and thereby to succeed her as leaders, rests with
Massachusetts court Of law. The supreme court
ruling, which excludes the heirs who settled during
Mrs. Eddy's lifetime, establishes this.
II Is altogether probable that men who are in
perfect sympathy with the churchs belief and aims
will be named as trustees to perform this most un-
usual task, the decree looks to the administration
that Of charitable trust and, moreover, as the
court refuses to accept the assertion that the Chris
tian Science faith Is contrary to the policy Of the
Commonwealth. But the final selection Of the actual
successors Of Mrs. Eddy in the leadership Of the sect
becomes judicial function.

WHY DOES LA TOILETTE KICK7

Senator La Toilette, who has pooled issues with
Bill Barnes and Boies Penrose to defeat Roosevelt,
has been raising the old scratch the tremendous
amount Of money he alleges Roosevelt spent in order
to obtain delegates to the Republican national
vention. He goes so far as to make the assertion
that it money used in behalf of Roosevelt rather
than Roosevelts popularity which kept him (La Fol-
lette) from being the choice of the Progressives at
the Republican convention.
Now comes La Toilette and files what he pur.
ports to be true statement Of the amount it cost
him to get the delegates he had at the Chicago
vention, which statement says he spent $63,96l.
He had a total Of thirty-sx delegates, twenty-sx
OF whom we're from his own State. 1t is known Of
all men that in Wisconsin Roosevelt made no Hgh,
for any delegates, not even permitting his to
60 before the people out Of respect to La Toilette
So twentysix Of La Follettes delegates came to him
without any contest or opposition That leaves ten
which he got at cost Of $4,000, an average cost
Of Sc, 400 a delegate.
Roosevelt had'5i0 delegates the test roll calls
at the Republican convention. Had they cost hin
IS much per delegate as did La Folette's ten, i
would have required campaign fund of $3,264 900
q sum which not even the New York World claim,
was spent in behalf Of Roosevelt.
In view Of this comparison il looks as though L.
Toilette were raising fuss about Roosevelts cam
paign fund in order to distract attention from tn,
money he burned up.

UNDER A BLACK CLOUD.

The shadow ~ the 'McNamaras is broodng over
the dynamite conspiracy case now before the Fed
era court at Indianapolis and the plea of guilty
tered by Of the fortysix defendants will cause
very little surprise. The fate Of the McNamaras
leaves scant room for surprise in connection with
work which Burns uncovered in his trailing Of the
men who destroyed property all over the country.
In the particular case Of the defendant Clark,
who has just pleaded guilty, the evidence so far
brought to light, beginning with the stick Of the
umbrella he left >uader the bridge where he did the
devilish work Of dynamiting at Dayton, Ohio, is
damning at every turn. But there is a new and
pretty black phase to the present in the evidence
involving 4 police court judge, who is alleged to
have helped Clark get one of his desperate helpers
out Of trouble before the whole terrible scandal broke
