FIGHTING CEASES IN BALKANS
The Balkan situation has improved
greatly during the last week. Forty
eight hours after the three allies
signed the armistice. the Greek re-
preventative signed also. The terms
OF the armlstice are as follows: list,
that the armies maintain their res
pective positions; End, the besieged
Turkish fortresses shall not be re-
yictualed; 3rd, the Bulgarian army
shall be revictualed in tne field by
way OF the Black Sea; 4th, negota-
lions for peace shall begin in London,
the 18th
The relations between Servia and
Austria which threatened to involve
all Europe continued strained for
several days but are relieved now by
the fact that both governments have
consented To leave their differences
to a conference of the Powers which
meets In London simultaneously with
the peace euNOys.
London is making preparations for
the two great conferences. the King
having turned over st. James Pal
ace for the use OF the foreign rep
resentatives. The proceedings Will
be similar to those at Portsmouth, y.
H., which brought peace between Rus
STA and Japan seven years ago.
1t is expected and rather feared thai
the Turks will be more powerful in
the peace conference than on the
field OF battle as the Russians were.
And the hope that the Turks might
be driven out Of Europe entirely,
although by the thousands they are
already taking their flight owing TO
the fear of their enemies and the
greater enemy. cholera, seems to be
vanishing.
PLOTTERS ON TRIAL
The 106 Koreans, charged with con
spring against the life of the Japan
ese Governor General, are on trial
In Seoul.
II is said that no religious feeling
or prejudice has shown itself in the
matter, although many of the plot
ters in their testimony have reflect
ed upon the Christians and credited
their plotting to their influence.
ANOTHER ENGLISH STRIKE
Three thousand English railroad
engineers are reported to have gone
on a strike because one of their
number, convicted of drunkenness
while off duty, was assigned TO a
lower grade of work, running a pilot
engine
Such is the perversity of the labor
world, labor unions usually losing the
sympathy of the masses by espous-
ing unjust causes.
FRENCH TO ELECT PRESIDENT
The French will elect a President
Jan. 18th. II being an entirely diff

OF the event inasmuch as they have
no choice in the matter, the Presi-
dent being elected by the Chamber
OF Deputies. The foremost candidate
is the President OF the Chamber, Pau
Deschanel.

A THOUGHTFUL PRESIDENT
President Tai, has written a let
ter to President elect Wilson, prof
fering to put at his disposal one Of
the big battle ships in the navy to
take him on a trip of inspection to
the canal zone.
AS many important questions con-
corning the canal will come up during
the new administration, Pres. Taft
anticipates that Mr.. Wilson will be
glad to gain some first hand informa-
ton and surmises that he can get it
more easily before the beginning of
his term.
No reply has been received to the
letter so far, but the suggestion on
the part of the President is being
generally commended.

MINERS Elected
FROM THEIR HOMES
Soldiers Watch to Prevent Abuses
One Company Under Arrest
for Drinking.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. g.
Distressing scenes were witnessed
along Cabin and Paint creeks yester-
day when deputy sheriffs evicted&the
families of many miners from their
humble homes they have occupied in
some instances since the mines were
opened. The evictions are being
closely watched by the military to
prevent mistreatment and unneces-
sary suffering.
The striking miners were notified
two months ago that they must return
to work or move. No serious distur-
Dances followed the action of the Off
GERS early in the day, but the authori-
ties were apprehensive and the dis
trict was carefully guarded.
In all instances. the coal companies
offered to move the miners household
goods and pay their transportation to
union districts TO be named by the
miners themselves In most instances
the miners took advantage of the of
fer, but there were a few who did not,
and their household goods We're piac-
ed in the county road If they declined
to accept a place for storage.
Company e, First West Virginia
Infantry, was placed in arrest at its
camp on Paint Creek during Monday
night and taken TO military headqGar-
tiers at Paint Greek Junction today in
order that AdjutantGeneral Elliott
might investigate the charge that the
men had been drinking. 1t was stat
ed at headquarters that the offense
was believed to be confined to few
soldiers, but General Elliott desired
all the facts.
The mining investigation cCmlnis-
sion adjourned today, subject to the
call of Chairman Donahue. In all
probability the commission will visit
the Fairmont and Pocahontas districts
and possibly New River district with
in the next two weeks.

RURAL CARRIERS
MUST GET READY
Nv Parcels Post Becomes Effective
First of Year-AHects Only
Rural Men.

Beginning January LIST, the new par
GELS post law, enacted a. part of the
last congress vii go into effect The
rural mail carriers will be principally
affected by the new law from the fact
that they will be compelled to provide
themselves with wagons mat will tawe
care of the packages they will be COM
piled to handle. From the postoffice
end the city carriers will not be con
crned much more than at present, for
they will only have to deliver the
small packages that will not hamper
them in their other work. The pub
lie to be benefited by the parcels post
will be principally those who live on
the rural routes and to them it will be
a great boon. They will be able to
have gods of all kinds delivered up to
certain limit in bulk and wight-a
convenience they have been contend
ing for for a long time.
Many busins men in the smaller
citis have been against the parcels
post, claiming it would be detriment
to them and benefit to the large mail
/ order houses. This sentiment has
shanged lately, and now the merchants
have nearly all come to realization
| of the fact that if the establishment
of the new system will be benefit to
the mail order houses it is possible for
them to make it benefit to them
selves. As a reult of tbs they are max
ing preparation to enter into the mail
order business as a matter of protec-
/ ton. That there will De an increae in
business for the merchants in the
/ larger towns there is no question, for
1 there are always those who do not buy
/ at home, but opatronize the outside
merchant. The number of this class
I will not be increased greatly except
I where it is not possible to get luxur-
4 les at home trat can be secured in
/ the cities.
/ Martinsburg will probably be great
/ ly benefited by the inauguration of
/ the new system because of the num-
/ Der of rural mail carriers working out
of this city There are many routes
covered by the local rural carriers
/ and when the residents along those
routes come to realize it will be pos
/ sble for them to get many articles by
mail they were formerly compelled to
! come to town for they will have them
! sent out instead of coming in after
/ them.
| Information has been sent out from
Washington that Postmaster General
/ Hitchcock has had special stamps
made for the parcels post business
1 They will be of a distinctive design
and color so as not to conflict with
| the series now in use for other pur-
poses. The stamps are now being
prepared and they will be ready for
delivery on requisition sabout Deem

comes effective.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF
THE SUN OCT. 10

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. O.
There is to be a total eclipse of the
sun tomorrow, but few persons in the
United States and none in Canada will
have an opportunity to view the phe-
nomena. Residents of southern Flor
ida, if conditions are favorable, will
be treated to a partial performance
by old Sol when he hides himself be
hind the moon.
The path of totality will cross South
America from point near Quito, Ec'
uador, to Rio Janeiro, Brazil. The
Best place, it is figured, for obsery-
ing the eclipse Will be in the vicinity
of the Brazilian metropolis. Here the
astronomers from America and Eu-
rope have set up instruments with
long, unpronounceable names to take
observations during the two minutes
duration of the total eclipse.
A total eclipse is of popular inter
est because as a mere spectacle it is
one of the most beautiful presented
to the human eye But the problem
uppermost in the minds of the scien-
lists in connection with solar eclipses
are those relating to the suns corona,
which can be seen only when the sun
is hidden by the moon. 1t is an ap'
pendage to the sun, consisting of very
tenuous gases chiefly, and apparently
kept out in its position by repellent
power of the sun
