Conferences between the Anglo

tue, were still together at mil
night. Thy had seen no visitors,
so far as could be learned.
An American banker who IL
foremost In the matter said cryp-
tfeaff3 tonight when asked for an
explanation: zone side knows
What II wants and the other side
knows what IL wants TO give"
This was taken to mean that Is their
conferences the two parties have
reached a point whore one of them
must make concession in principle
Tn. same man was careful 10 point
out. however, that there Is no danger
of the entire transaction faiilnE

Yes was the reply
Does that mean that as a resul;
Of that interview Russia may become

THAT Is a possibility" WAS his reply
While" the same man added. the
name Of Russia on the bonds would

Question Unanswered.
There was no direct answer to this
question which was passed over when
a little later II was admitted tina,
the participation direct of Russia In

PRESIDENT is GIVING
NATTER CONSIDERATION
Washington Believes That. il Session
Is Called, 1t VIII Convene October
15-Kern Investigating Feeling Of
Senators.

Washington, Sept. 22,--Senator Stone,
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate. called at
the White House today to urge Presi-
dent Wilson to call a special session
Of the Senate in October in order
tina. the way may be swept clear
fer business when Congress opens in
December.
The President told Mr.. Stone that
he had the matter under considera-
ton. Tonight White House officials
said the President had not made up
his mind about calling q special ses-
s!or OF the Senate and that It was
not known when an authoritative an
nouncement could be secured.
1t was understood. however. that
the President would decide within a
week or ten days. and that his de-
cision would be made known inn
mediately. Officiais believe that ii
special session is called it will be
about October is. 1t became known
today that Senator Kern is commu-
nicating with the Democratic men,
bers of the next Senate to ascertain
their judgment as TO the wisdom OF
converting the Senate. Supposedly
the majority leader Is making this
inquiry at the request of the White
House. and the Presidents decision
will not be reached until his party
colleagues in the Senate have beer
heard from.
Senator Stone Is strongly of the
opinion that the next session of Con.
gress ought to complete it's program
by the end of May, 1915. SO that poll.
tics and legislation may not be mixed
in the next presidential campaign. He
thinks that it would be practically
impossible to dispose of the legisla-
tive program in the period allowed
unless the Senate has acted upon the
pending treaties and. the movement t.
establish cloture rule before tho
converting Of the December session.

On Brink of War.

Sofia, Bulgaria Monday. Septen1be3
20. via London, September 22.--Bui
garia apparently is on the brink OF
war. The people generally believed
that hostilities are imminent. The
military authorities have takea pos-
session Of the railways and ordinary
traffic has been suspended
Diplomatic representatives here %
the entente powers generally recos-
nize that their cause is lost one
and that Bulgaria is manifesting clear
ily tendency toward the central p0w-
iers. This Is due 10 the dissatisfaction
OF the government at Serbia's reply
lin the negotiations for territorial con-
cessions in Macedonia and at the con-
duct of Greece in this connection.
Allies Give Up Hope.
None of the representatives here Of
I the allies cherist1es longer the hope
that Bulgaria can be prevented from
Joining with Germany Austria and
Turkey
In government circles the statement
was made today that all the military
measures which have been taken are
of a preventive nature. designed SOLE
iy TO guard against circumstances
which might threaten Buigaria'S pos
sition in the present situation. which
! is developing with unforeseen and ex-
Etraordinary rapidity. These measures
consist In turning over the railroads

pending ordinary .traff1c

garia tell OF enthusiastic demonst a.
tons IN favor of the government, This
is considered symptomatic of public
feeling, which does not ignore the fact
that the countr-- Is near To war.
Pressure of Entente Powers.
The formal cessIon by Turkey OF
the territory along the Dedeaghatch
railroad has been delayed by the
action of the entente powers In noti-
flying Bulgaria that acceptance of this
territory would be regarded as an
unfr1endly act which would invite
counter measures.
1t was learned today that King
Ferdinand, replying last Friday to the
assertions of leaders of the OPPOSE
ton parties that the allies would be
victorious. said:
The entente is not sure Of win

ment that such will be the case IL
