Cettinje. April 23.-After final des-
perate attack lasting twentyfOur
hours, Montenegrin troops forced their
way into Scutari. The fortress for
six months offered a stubborn and
heroic defense.
The assault which gave the Monte
negrins possession OF the city which
has been the sole object of their war
against Turkey began Monday night
when the Montenegro army took the
offensive along the entire front. They
pushed right up to the Turkish posi-
tions where they engaged in bayonet
fighting.
The Ottoman soldiers made a num-
Der of counter attacks and tried to
drive the attacking force out of the
works but were compelled to fall back
and leave the positions in the hands
of the besiegers who received con-
stant reinforcements.
At midnight last night the Monte
negrins obtained a footing in the
fortress and detachments of the be-
giegers entered the city at 4 o'clock.
There are many different accounts
concerning the surrender, one being
that the Turkish soldiers fought to the
last minute and another that the gen.
eral, recognizing the futility Of further
resistance. negotiated for surrender.
The act of capitulation was signed by
the Turkish commander shortly after

RESTAURANT
BURNED OUT

Grand Forks, n. D., April 23.-The
Klondike restaurant, located at 423
DeMers avenue. was burned out COM
pletely yesterday afternoon. Only the
interior Of the building suffered much
loss, the blaze being put out by the
fire department. before great damage
was done to the building itself. It
contained only a lot of canned goods
and supplies for restaurant use, so
that the loss could not have exceeded
a few hundred dollars.
The place is owned by James Lam
bos. 1t is believed that the fire was
caused by a pot of grease boiling over
and becoming ignited, as there were
several pots of grease left on a range
in the rear of the restaurant.
The Bargain Clothing house, Of
which HI. l.. Rosenwieg is manager,
suffered considerable from smoke and
water. Most of the clothing in the
store was pretty well soaked, though
nothing in the store was burned ex-
cept a small hole in the partition in
the rear of the store.
The Star Messenger service, which
is located just east of the Klondike
restaurant, was also soaked with wat
er but no damage was done, though
some of the boys who were sleeping
in the back part of the building be-
came pretty much scared when awak-
ened by the heat of the burning
structure The quick work of the fire
department saved further loss Of
property.

the Montenegrin troops reached the
center Of the city.
London. April 23.-While the cap
ture Of Scutari by the MOntenegrins Is
believed in European capitals TO have
complicated the situation created by
the decision of the great powers to in
clude Scutari in the future state of
Albania, the opposite view is held in
Balkan circles The view prevails that
the Montenegrins, having accomplish
ed the object for which they were
fighting, will find it easy to accept the
! decision Of the powers, and that the
latter will be more ready to grant
Montenegro the reCtiticatiOn of a
frontier which will satisfy.
The long defense Of Scutari under
Essad Pasha, was made by an army
estimated at 10000, who also had to
guard the outlying stronghold of Tara
kosh and other connecting works sur
rounding the city.
The MOntenegrins were unable to
make an impression upon the strong
hold until a few weeks ago when the
Servians brought heavy siege guns for
the Montenegrins.
The Montenegrins are said to have
lost 5000 killed and the Turks 5000
during the siege. Nothing has yet
been decided concerning the continu-
anCe of the blockade by the powers of
the Montenegrin coast which was in
stituted because Montenegro refused
| to abandon the siege Of Scutari at the
order of the powers.

Leaders Believe They Can Pass
Tariff Bill
Debate on Tariff Was Begun
In House Today
Fifty Hours Of Debate to Be
Allowed

Washington, D. c., April 23.-The
tariff debate has begun in the house,
many members of all three parties in
dicated a desire to make short speech
es and Chairman Underwood, of the
ways and means committee and dem
ocratic leader, had marshalled an ar
ray for the opening of the fight for
revision.
Representative Garrett, of Tennes-
see, was present throughout the de-
bate while the bill was technically
before the house as a committee of
the whole.
Underwood reiterated his view that
five days of general debate and a
week more for the reading of the bill
with the privilege Of a five minute
speech to each member be sufficient
in the house.
A canvass of the senate by Demo-
cratic Leader Kern, Chairman Sim
mons of the finance committee, and
others. convinced the leaders the tariff
bill can be passed through the SEN
ate without change when the finance
committee finally determines upon its
form.
When the house convened Under
wood asked unanimous consent 10

house adjourned Monday evening.
The republican leaders and Represen-
tative Murdock, the progressive lead
er, argued over the division of the
minority time between the republi-
cans and the progressives. 1t was
finally agreed to give the progressives
FIVE hours of the minority time. AL
together about fifty hours of general
debate in the house is to be allowed.

VIII Be Owned and Built by
Powers Construction Co.
Second and Third Floors to Be
Used by Y. w. c. A.

Excavation was begun yesterday by
the Powers Construction Co. for a
new building, the second and third
floors of which will be devoted to the
Y. w. c. A. The present quarters Of
the association have proven too small
to accommodate the large number Of
young women who come to make
their homes and for their meals to
the Y. w. c. A. and as the lease ex-
pires July for their present quar-
ters, it was deemed best to secure a
larger and better equipped location.
The new building will be just north
of the Sons of Norway hall and will
be a three story structure, the first
floor being devoted to business pur-
poses. The cafeteria, offices, parlors
and sixteen bedrooms will occupy
the second floor and on the third floor
will be fully equipped gymnasium
and thirty-one bedrooms. At the
back will be a screened porch for
each floor extending the entire width
of the building, which will be a de-
lightful feature.
1t is hoped to be able to move into
the new home by Oct. and until then
the association hopes to be able to re-
main in their present location. The Y.
has grown rapidly within the past
two years in which they have been
located in the Improvement building
and as they only occupy one floor
there which also includes the parlors,
cafeteria, and offices, the dormitory
room has been inadequate to meet
the demand and they are to be con-
graduated upon their success in Sc
curing such a splendid new home. A
ten year lease has been signed for
the new building.

c. S. ScOficld Has Made Tour
Of This Section

For the last three days Fargo and
other places in the state of North Da-
kota have had the pleasure of enter
tanning a distinguished body Of men
who are connected in part with the
agricultural department OF the federal
government.
In the party were. c. S. ScofieId and
A. ]. Taylor, his stenographer, both
from Washington, D. c.. and II. Nor
ganthau of New York.
Mrs. ScofieId has charge of the west
ern agricultural extension department
of the federal government and in COM
pany with his stenographer and Mr..
Morganthau has spent considerable
time in the offices of Thomas p. Coop
er, secretary of the North Dakota Bet
ter Farming association, and since
reaching Fargo and making their
headquarters at the Waldorf they
have visited Ransom, Dickey. La
Moure, Stutsman and other counties
in the eastern part of the state. not to
speak of many trips they made
through Cass county, North Dakota,
and Clay county, Minnesota.
The business of Mr.. Scofield is to
look into reclamation projects that
have been going on in the western
part of the country. He reported that
he was very much pleased with what
he had seen Of North Dakota and par
ticularly In the work that the better
farming association had been doing.
This section of the state" said he,
is certainly well attended to and the
soil is the best In the country. | have
been very much pleased with what /
have seen and l congratulate you ON
the work that has been done and is
being done by the North Dakota Bet
ter Farming association. 1t is grand
work and will in the end be the means
of greater and greater results from
the soil. / have been particularly
pleased with the land and the way it
lis worked in the Red river valley, and
greatly in that part of it surrounding
the two cities, Fargo and Moorhead +
certainly have enjoyed my visit here,
nothing but the very best of reports"
On their trips they were accompan-
led by Secretary Cooper, who has giv-
en- almost his entire attention for the
past three or four days to the visitors.
1t might be well TO mention in con-
nection with this the fact that the
agricultural department of the feder-
al government has been since the first
of the year In cooperation with the.
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
tion and that the work is telling.
The three visitors mentioned above
left the city this morning at 10 o'clock

Metcalf has been working on his ma
chine for some time, and last summer
he built a machine at his shop in

to purchase an engine to operate it.
He has succeeded and the engine was
ordered Saturday.

have a machine that is far ahead Of
all others in stability, ease of manage
ment and speed. The machine will
travel on land or. water or in the air
at the will of the operator.
