R0UMANII DECLARES WAR.
ROUMANIAN TROOPS BEGIN
CROSSING BULGARIAN
FRONTIER.
At End of Two Weeks Fierce Fight.
ing. With Bulgars Suing for Peace,
NeighbOring Kingdom Jumps into
Battle to- Pile up Trouble.

London, July 1.-THE king of Rou-
mania has declared war on Bulgaria.
The Roumanian minister at Sofia has
been recalled. The Sofia correspond
ent of The Times sends this announce
ment early this morning.
Dispatches from Vienna announce
that the Roumanian troops began to
cross the Bulgarian border at .
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The end of fortnight's desper
fighting in the Balkans finds Bulg
forced to appeal to the powers :.
range peace. The Bulgarian y
drive wedge between the Gr'
Servian armies i'm the neighbor. II
Guevgheli completely failed. The 1,ast
reports of. the fighting received from
Athens show that the Servians and
Greeks at this point are combining
their forces, while the Roumaniar
army is beginning an invasion of Bul-
garia. The latter fact doubtless was
the deciding factor i'm the Bulgarian
appeal to the powers
| How far Bulgarias defeat is due tc
dissension in high military quarters
which resulted in the resignation OF
Gen. Savoff. and how far to the fac
that the Bulgarian troops, which bore
the brunt of the hard fighting in tn,
last campaign, were more exhausted
than the Greek and Servian forces
will probably never be known.
Nothing can be predicted at the mo
ment as to how events will shap,
themselves, the Roumanian invasion
of Bulgaria having brought an en-
tirely new factor into the problem
Russia and France are devoting thei
efforts to persuading the allies t
adopt q moderate attitude in order t,
facilitate a peaceful settlement. Th
Servian premier is quoted in tn
Vienna Neue Freie Presse as declar
ing that the war has completely Sc
aside all treaties Of alliance and tina
peace must now be negotiated on a.
entirely new basis.

railway officials and representatives of
the employers union. will take place
as ed, according to announce
r y by Secretary Wilson of
IL : tment of labor Both the
y : tatives of the railway man
$ and the unions will be present
-. conference" the secretary said.
= ~ have notified me that they
be here. and can not understand
this talk at New York about moth
ng being known there regarding the
meeting. Apparently the railway and
union officials have q reason of their
own for denying knowledge of the
meeting but what it is 1 have not
been able to find out.
Il prefer not to say at this time
who asked for the conference with
the president. 1 can say, however,
that the request was not made on
the initiative of this department"
The object of the conference. Sec
retary Wilson explained, was not al
together TO aid in preventing the
threatened strike of trainmen on
Eastern roads but was to discuss and
arrange a common ground upon
which the government, the railways
and the employees unions could meet
in the settlement of future wage
! trouble.
Neither the railways nor the un-
! ions have been satisfied with the pro-
visions of the Erdman arbitration act
because of the small arbitration board
it provides. They desire a board OF
six members, while Secretary Wilson
is in favor of a board of nine. This
point, however, the secretary is will
ing to waive. 49,
The only vital difference and the
one which will form the main topic Of
discussion at the White House con-
ference is whether the proposed new
board of Cancellation and mediation
shall be an independent commission
or q part of the department of labor.
The railway managers and the unions
desire the former, while Secretary
Wilson insists that the board belongs
to his department
On account of the White House
conference, the house will postpone
consideration of the proposed amend
ments of the Erdman act, which were
to have been taken up tomorrow. In
dications are, however, that at the
first session after the conference, the
senate bill to provide for an arbitra-
tion board of six members will be
passed.
The house judiciary committee, for
want of quorum, passed over the
amendments until next Tuesday
when it will hear representatives Of
the railroad boilermakers and other
shopmen's organizations. delega-
ton of the shopmen asked Chairman
Clayton today to include them within
the scope of the proposed amended
Erdman law.

Denver, April 16.-The conference
House reached an agreement on the
long appropriation and salary slash"
bills at 2:45 this morning, thus open
ing the way to final adjournment of
the session ana avoiding a special
session.
Under the agreement no salaries of
$1,000 or under will be cut.
The Senate finance committee will
report in the amended salary slash
bill, and the House appropriations
committee the long appropriations
bill, as soon as they can be drawn up
as revised.
1t is regarded as certain that both
measures will be passed and the AS
sembly adjourn this morning.
The Assembly now has been in ses-
sion many hours later than the time
scheduled for adjournment.
The clocks were stopped at o'clock
last evening, the time agreed upon to
end the session. From midnight on
Monday until O'Clock this morning
no advance had been made between
the House and Senate in regard to aD-
propriations and the salary slash"
program.
Governor Ammons, following the
second disagreement, requested that
the third be held in his chambers, and
largely through his efforts the COM
mittee was able finally to reach an
agreement after nearly thirty Six
hours had been devoted to discussion
of the bill.
The committee on the salary bill
agreed that all $2,500 yearly salaries
should be reduced to $2,1O0; all s1,S00
salaries to S1,620, and all $4,000 sal
aries to s1,s00.
The original salary bill called for
reductions of salaries of clerks and
stenographers now receiving $1,5OO
and $1,000 year besides greater re
ductions in the higher salaries.
A legislative reapportionment Dill
for representation in the General AS
sembly was passed.
Forty-nina bills, including those
upon which conference committee re-
ports were adopted, were passed by
the Senate at it's final session. Twen-
ty-four were passed by the House.
Had the agreement of both branches
to adjourn at 6 o'clock been fol-
lowed out, more than score of these
measures would have been killed
through failure to receive rollcall.
