ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Between and o'clock last
night two men attempted to break
into the Kaplan shoe shop. A
pane of glass was removed and in
attempting to remove another it
was broken. which attracted the
attention of passersby. The men
became frightened at the noise
and disappeared before they were
fully identified, but the officers
have a good description of them
and may be able to land them.
There may be some connection
between this attempted robbery
and the holdup which took place
recently.

MEXICAN COMMISSION TO
 RESUME SESSIONS TO-DAY.
Will Go Over Numerous Suggestions
 Which Have Been Made.

New London, Conn, Sept. 10-With the return here tonight of Luis Ca hrera and Alberto Pani from week end trips to Boston and New York, mem bers of the American-Mexican joint commission were ready to resume to- morrow their deliberations as to the situation along the Mexican border General Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff of the United States army, is expected here soon, his pres ence having been requested by the American commissioners, who desire the benefit of his personal information as to border conditions.
 TomorroW's meeting will be devoted to further discussions of ways and means to end the disturbed border sit nation, So far the commissioners have been unable to formulate even a tenta- tive plan of action and they will con- tinue to go over the numerous sug- gestions that have been put forward at one time or another as to the po- icing system to be adopted.
 Present indications are that the joint commission will meet only three or four days during the week. Several of the Mexican commissioners have press ing business elsewhere which will re- quire their attention for a short time So far as the American commission is concerned, however, the intervals will be fully occupied by the commission CTS remaining here in the careful study they are making of all available in formation relating to the Mexican problems.

SHARP NOTES EXCHANGED BY
 GREAT BRITAIN AND SWEDEN.
Brought About by Allied Blockade and
 SWeden's Seizure of Mails.

London. Sept. 10, 11.4O D. n.-There has been a further and rather sharp exchange of notes between Great Brit ain and Sweden in regard to the diff ferences brought about by the allied blockade and Sweden's retaliatory seizure of mails in transit between England and Russia. No solution of the problem is in sight. The British foreign secretary, Viscount Grey, in sists that as a condition to submitting the matter to arbitration Sweden must promise not to interfere again with English parcel post matter in transit across Sweden. The Swedish govern ment apparently is determined not to make such an engagement.
 It is noticeable that until now the correspondence has been conducted aI- most wholly between 'Viscount Grey and the Swedish minister in London, Count Wrangel, but ViscoEDt Grey S latest note to Count Wrangel says the counts communication is not under stood and that the British minister at Stockholm is being directed to present the matter to the Swedish government. Count Wrangel has now gone to the continent and it is announced he will stay for several weeks.
 Count WrangePs letter, given out to - day, says Sweden shares the hopes expressed by Viscount Grey that the correspondence may bring definite so- lution of the questions at issue and that Sweden would warmly congratu- late itself on the application of the fertile principle of international arbi- tration."

GENERAL BLISS TO VISIT
 MEXICAN COMMISSION.
To Tell Them of Military Situation Along the International Border.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Secretary Ba- ker today granted the request of the American Mexican commission to haVs Major General Tasller H. Bliss assist ant chief of staff, go to New London, Conn, to give the commissioners infor- nation he has gathered first hand con- corning the military situation along the international boundary.
 General Bliss was authorized to hold himself in readiness to respond to a summons and will leave whenever mo- tified. The general is regarded as one of the arn1ys most competent authori- ties on the Mexican question. As as sistant chief of stan he has more to do with the administration of military operations along the border than any other officer except Major General Fun ston, and recently he completed a per- sonal inspection of all the border pa trol military camps.
 Pressure from political and business quarters is being brought to bear on Secretary Baker and administration of f1cials generally to withdraw national guard organiz2 ions from the border. Members of Congress, business houses and friends and relatives of guardsrnen have deluged the department the last few days with requests for the release of the militia. The department has in formed all inquirers that action will be taken as soon as practicable. Secretary Baker has already indicat- ed that as soon as the units now on the way to the border arrive other or men still in their state camps in all probability will make a tour Of border field stations before being mustered out

THE DUAL MONARCHY
 NOT READY TO QUIT,
Statement Issued by Minister of For
 eien Affairs.

Vienna, Sept. ', via London, Sept. 10, p. m.-In thoroughly frank manner the Austro- Hungarian minister of for eign affairs, Baron Stephen Burian von Ratecz, discussed today in an interview with the correspondent of The Asso- ciated Press the position of the dual monarchy in the world war, which he said had been erroneously character lzed by enemies and certain neutrals as unsatisfactory
 "Austro Hungary is far from lying down, as hoped by sope,'' said the minister in a tone carrying conviction. ''It is true we would hail peace with joy. but not the sort of peace our ene- mics would impose. So long as we have to defend ourselves against those who want to take part of our terri tory, we naturally are unwilling to discuss peace: so long we are also de- termined to hold out and win. The thought that we are eager for peace on any terms originates probably in minds hoping that such will become the case"
 The minister then reviewed the sit uation prior to Rumaria's declaration of war

REV. G. WHITE PROHIBITION
 NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR
Sends Letter of Acceptance to Chair
 man HohenthaI.

South Manchester, Conn, Sept. 10.- E. L. c. Hohenthal, chairman of the prohibition party in Connecticut, to- night announced that Rev. G. White Field Simonson of Seymour had re- considered his intention of not ac- cepting the prohibition nomination for governor. In his letter of accept ance to MT. Hohenthal, Rev. MT. Si monson says:
 "There is but one way to win this fight for the freedom of the people, and that is by political, administrative authority, followed by faithful writ ing of prohibition into the constitu- tion."
 Referring to the platform, Mr. Si- monson says that the measures thought of today as progressive" were first advocated by the prohibition party and then kept before the people by agitation until they won out. Equal suffrage, civil service reform and di- rect elections illustrate some of the reforms, he said.
 Under the caption Preparations for Victory" the candidate says: "The ing, but the light of the day of vic tory dawns. The age-long traffic that hes bestrode the earth like a Colos- sus is now crumbling to it's overthrow, by the battle of/the bal lots. The bugle has sounded the last great charge! The scattering forces are coming in Now comes the time for the rank and file of the citizenry to close in at the voting booth and consummate the fifty years of faith ful fighting by a glorious victory"

ENGLISH RAILWAY WORKERS
 DEMAND RAISE IN WAGES
Situation is Said to be Becoming In-
 creasingIy Serious.

London, Sept. 10, SAP p. m.-The situation in the railway world arising out of the deamnds of the men for an increase in wages of ten shilling a week has become increasingly serious. At a meeting of 5000 railwaiy work CTS at Cardiff today a resolution was adopted providing that unless the de- mnads for the increase are conceded by September 16 all railway work will be stopped in South Wales at mid night the seventeenth. The resolu tion also stated that the advance in wages should date from July and that the government should give a definite guarantee that in the future it will control the supply of food and regulate prices. The resolution was carried without a dissenting voice.
 Judging from the governments atti- tude hitherto regarding the question of the controi oF f00d. i+~ distribution and prices, there Is little lil1elihooc that it will y.r.A u such ;C demand and should the railway workers in the other parts of the country endorse the action of the South Wales men there is danger of a general railway strike.
 The leaders of the men are working hard to secure an agreement without calling a strike, which would be re- garded as taking an unfair advantage of the nation in a time of diversity.

Continuing their advance in west ern Dobrudja, the German and Bulga- Tian forces have captured the old fort ress of Silistria. which lies on the eastern bank of the Danube about 25 miles northeast of Turtukai and sixty miles east of Bucharest, the capital of Rumania and about an equal distance south of the Constanza- Bucharest railway line. The capture of the fortress is announced by the Berlin war office which adds that the Ru- manians and Russians fighting in Dobrudja apparently have suffered very considerable losses during the last few days.
 In Banat, north of Orsova, however, the Rumanians are keeping up their advance against the Austrians, having compelled the Austrian right wing, after it had pushed them back two and q half miles, to withdraw to it's form CT position under a strong counter-at- tack. Attempts by the Rumanians to advance against heights west of Csik Szereda. were repulsed. Tn southern Bukowina near the junction of the.
