TchataEa Fight
Ordered Continued

London, Nov. H.-The Turkish army
must fight on. probably to a decisive
end. Nazlm Pasha. holding by desperate
effort the defense lines Of TchatalJa and
fighting within his rapidly dwindlIng
ranks a frightful epidemic of cholera,
was notified to-day by the government
at Constantinople that the Bulgarian
proposals for an srmistice had been re-
jected and ordered him to resume oper-
ations at once.
This note was made public by the
Porte:
THE Porte. finding the Bulgarian con-
ditions for an armistice unacceptable, has
ordered Maxim Pasha TO resume military
operations"
This note was supplemented by the
following statement by Kiamtl Pasha,
the grand viZier:
II have received through the Russian
Ambassador to Turkey the terms which
the Bulgarians suggest for an armistice
as preliminary to the discussion as to
the terms of peace. These terms are
impossible and unless they are radically
altered the war will continue.
THE Bulgarisns ask for the surrender
of Adrianople. Scutari, Jania, and the
Tchatalja lines
; While the armies at Tchatalja were
resting to-day a naval battle occurred
In the Black Sea, of the port OF Varna,
the outcome OF which is in doubt owing
to conflicting reports from Constanti-
nople and Sofia. Reports coming from
the Turkish source state that the Turk
ish cruiser Hamidteh repulsed a Bull
gGrian attack by sinking two torpedo
boats and disabling two others. Sofia
reports the Turkish cruiser hit by tor
pedO and sunk, the torpedo boats after
ward putting to sea and returning to
Nerna unscathed.
There Is still a strong possibility Of
the Bulgarians making an entry into
COnstantinople and the powers are again
considering action TO prevent such an
eventuality. France took the initiative
to-day by notifying the Turkish govern
ment that she would hold Turkey re-
sponsible for any violence against
Christians.

President Gompers Speaks Plainly
Before A. F. of L.
~" Convention.
MUCH EXCITABLE DEBATE

Rochester, n. Y, Nov. H.-This was
a day OF exciting debate In the conven-
tion OF the American Federation of La
Dor. At times it bristled with acrimony.
The two issues to which the discussion
OF the day was devoted were the Chi
cago newspaper strike or lockout" as
the pressmen insisted upon calling Il.
and that portion OF the report OF the
special committee on the presidents re-
port which dealt with recommendation
as to political action. In both matters
Delegate Andrew Gallagher. from the
California State Federation Of Labor in

basis for the most excitement Both
interjections were dlsapproved by the
convention after thorough consideration.
Chairman Furuseth, OF the committee
on the presidents report, presented the

pers. The Socialists attacked the rec
concentrations of the committee. Dele
gates Hayes and Cannon objected siren
uously to what they termed an Endorse
ment of the Democratic party"

A delegate arose to demand why the
Socialist party was not mentioned in
HOlllpFIH EtpOII, ana was over

Furuseth, out of sympathy for the So
Cialists'
The crowded galleries Joined with the
delegates in the storm of laughter that
followed
Goaded into activity by the speech de-
lvered by Delegate Cannon, President
Gompers replied. He was applauded
when he declared:
Il have failed to discover one Socialist
who has expressed real appreciation Of
the rightful relations between employers
and the workers, the one great question
before us as trades unionists l have yet
to find one feature of the Socialist plat
form essential to making II an integral
part OF this national federation
President Gompers has repeatedly dis
played this week his intention to keep
the record of this convention confined
strictly to trades unionism. He has
adroitIy prevented every attempt of the
Socialists to stampede the delegates into
political or semi-political action of a
partisan character.

provide for the maintenance Of ex-
Presidents.
The President has received no oficial
notice from the Carnegie foundation OF the
conditions under which the psnion viii
be granted. Until he has received some
information from the directors OF the
foundation he will make no public state
ment on the subject. The proposition
was so unexpected and novel that none
of Mr.. Tafts close friends and advisers
would comment tonight upon his prob
able action.
President Taft is a man of moderate
means. Upon the payment OF his last tax
assessment in Cincinnati some months
ago. his personal fortune amounted 10
only about $4,000. Since he has been in
public office his campaign expenses, both
in 1908 and in the recent campaign, were
financed in large part by his brother.
c. p. Taft. Of Cincinnati, and intimate
personal friends. During his tenure of
office he has lived frugally. and the
White House social functions, although
quiet and becoming in character, have
never been marked by extravaganza. Mr..
Tafts fondness for travel has been his
principal diversion. Much OF this ex-
pense has been met by the appropria-
ton OF 81. 90 provided by Congress since
the beginning OF this administration.
number OF well-known incidents
were recalled in Washington last night
the difficulties which Presi-
derts of the United States have had
after leaving office.
Grover Cleveland. for instance. left the
White House with estimated wealth of
about 10000 or $4,000 He was out of
pocket so far as his salary as President
went. but he had accumulated a little
money through real estate investments
in Washington. After settling at Prince
ton he took to writing magazine articles
occasionally. became lecturer in
Princeton University, but finally was
obliged to accept a retainer of $4,000
year from the three big life insurance
companies to act as arbiter in certain
disputes. The acceptance by Mr. Cleve-
Ia nd of this life insurance post led TO a
good deal OF criticism.
Former President Benjamin Harrison
had more unpleasant experiences even
than Grover Cleveland. When he left the
White House he was worth only about
$25 900. He went back TO Indianapolis to
practice law. The first case that he had
came to him through Philander c. Knox.
now Secretary of State. Mr.. Harrison
the street railways of In
dianapolis in case against the city, and
received a retainer of 81, 900. The ap-1
pearance Of the former President against
the municipality led to bitter criticism
Later Mr.. Harrison received a retainer
OF S10oOCO in the Venezuelan arbitration
cases, and for this also he was severely
by many citizens.
President Taft, in deciding to resume
the practice OF law in Cincinnati. has
had all Of the unpleasant experiences of
his predecessors in mind, and has made
up his mind to attempt to do only enough
business to make him a comfortable liv-
ing. His idea has been to act alone as a
turiSt counsel. without assuming the bur-
den and distractions of general practice.
The only living widows OF former Pres
dents are Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Harrison,
and Mrs. Hayes.

MRS. HARRISON REFUSES
TO DISCUSS THE PLAN

Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. Glowing to
the personal connection of a $4,000 PEN
sion such as Andrew Carnegie proposes
for former Presidents and their widows.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. wife OF the late
President, tonight refused to discuss
the plan as outlined by the philanthro-
pist. However. in discussing pensions
for former Presidents. she declared that
she was in sympathy with the govern
ment plan of pensioning the former
heads Of the nation. Mrs. Harrison said:
Il believe that former Presidents
should devote their lives to the services
of the nation and that the government
should provide a pension for them. Gen.
Harrison frequently was called upon for
services and at a sacrifice to his own
time"

works, written in Latin, were translated
into English in the first half of the six
teenth century and profoundly affected
the course of English education, the lee
turer stated.
Wives was a friend of Erasmus and a
tutor of Princess Mary, daughter of
King Henry, and was a professor at

"SOmc DeIusions About Death" Sub.
Ject of Talk by L. w. RoEern.

L. W. Rogers, national lecturer for
the Thsosophical Society," spoke last
night at Studio Hail. 1913 Connecticut
Avenue. on ''Some Delusions About
Death" He contrasted the teachings of
the old religions and those of theosophy
and said that the old religions give no
proof of a life hereafter.
Mr.. Rogers said that the body is mere
ly vehicle for the expression of the
soul and cited several instances to show
that at times the soul works outside the
body. The lecture of last night was
the first of series Of three that will
be delivered by Mr.. Rogers at Studio
Hail. He will speak Tuesday and No
vember 90 and tonight will deliver an
informal talk to the members of the
