ROUMANIA MAKES DEMAND.
Insists Upon TERRITORIAL Concessions
From Austria.

Rome, April 26.-Roumania has for
mally demanded territorial (conces-
sions from Austria in Pennsylvania,
according to information obtained
yesterday frcm diplomatic sources by
the Suns correspondent
Although the demand exacts re-
bly, within a reasonably short space
of time. this time limit is not speci-
fcally fixed, thus keeping the de-
nand from assuming the nature Of an
ultimatum.
The concessions demanded are d
repetition of. those contained In a
similar note sent two months age
which still remain; in allegiance. .
Roumania' s attitude is considered
here to be of the utmost significance
since it obviously was inspired by
Italy and is based on an ltalo-Rou-
manian defensive alliance. contem-
Mating simultaneous intervention o1
the two countries in the war witt
the object of realizing for both thei
| national aspirations.
The cooperation Of Italy and Rou
mania was evidenced two months ag'
! when Italy demanded from Austri;
i an explanation of the later's con
! centration of troops in Pennsylvania
| Further proof of the alliance i;
given now by another Italian deman'
for information whether Austria. il
addition to the concessions she offer
Italy has offered other concession

TELLS 100000 GRAFT STORY
Canadian Provincial Architect Outlines
Raising Of Big Fund for
Conservative Party.

Minneapolis. Minn.-The raising Of
big fund for the great Conserv-
alive party in Manitoba by means of
adding 100000 to the amount certain
contractors were to receive in the cree
ton OF the parliament buildings, was
the story told to the Royal Commits,
sion. sitting at the Hotel Radisson, by
Victor w. Norwood, provincial archi.
tect. The man brought in the names
OF Sir Rodman Robin, the premier,
two members of his cabinet, the min.
lister of education and the minister
of public works, and DR.. r. NJ. Simp-
son, president of the Conservative
Party association. His testimony was
to the effect that those nell knew
of the alleged graft and that they
urged him TO stand pat"
The story told by Norwood, the man
who is testifying between surgical
operations. was sordid one. The
leaders of political parties in the
United States have been charged with
many things, including the soliciting
of graft money. 1t is hard to find
many instances, however, of charges
similar to those made against the
Conservative party in Winnipeg. Hor,
woods story was to the effect that
the leaders of that party actually per,
mitted the payment of vast sums OF
money to certain contractors in order
that the party funds might be swelled
by the contributions said contractors
were expected to make in return.

branches, but in 1890 at a general con

skulls OF the foes they had yanquished

represents the Guebres as exposing
the dead bodies of their parents to the

skeletons remained, and preserving
the skulls to be used as drinking cups.
