RUSSIA IS PREl'ARIXO Humor That Largo Quantities of Guns Aro Rein?; Boupht Abroad. ft-OH (i ip'Hal correspondent of Tllv: Sr.w Brn.irE.ST, Nov. 10. Count von Ikrch folil. the Austrian Minister of Foreign .Mair.. will wait only a couple of days 'c- Sorvia to offer explanations for ifoln.itiK Austrian consuls and hinder np them in their communications with '!iir Government. He will then pre sent an urgent demand which will partake of the character of an ulti matum. Servia's action constitutes a viola tion of international law. Moreover, consul retain the functions conferred 'ipon them by the capitulations until 'he conclusion of peace. There aro weighty grounds for th e llief that the Servian Military Club is usurping certain functions of the civil government. That dangerous factor explains the dilatorincss of the Bel grade Cabinet, but I am still very hope ful of a pacific ending. Bulgaria, which is animated with a desire to corno to n friendly arrange ment with Rumania, will begin con versations this week. Conversations with the Servian Gov ernment, if there still be n government. At Belgrade respecting the unjusti fiable treatment of the consuls at Pris icnd. Mitrovitza and other places by the new military authorities are now rapidly drawing to un unsatihfaetory close. Snpvia will have it in her power for a couplo of days longer to offer apologies and to make! amends for her breach of international law, but. after the lapso of that brief delay Austria will deliberately proceed to enforce her riehts which even uncultured peoples will rcfcpect.and will vindicate tho na tional honor from wanton affront which has Martled into jealous watchfulness all the parties in the Austro-Hungarian nation. If, contrary to reasonable expecta tion. Scrvia will prove obstinate the 'ext step will be the despatch of a sum mary note of the nature of an ultimatum setting forth Austria's grievance and ifmanding a speedy redressal. The Belgrade Government has already 'tad its attention drawn to the circum Mance that the capitulations which regulate tho status of consuls of tho ureat Powers to tho Ottoman Empire tre not to be abrogated or suspended by military occupation, nor will In any ny be modified before the conclusion of peace. A precedent was afforded in Tripoli, whero the consuls retained all the func tions assured them by the capitulations down to tho conclusion of tho cam paign. Yet this Consul haa been de liberately isolated by tho Servian mili tary authorities with euch thoroughness 'hat his own Government cannot get in touch with him. In Mitrovitza a similar incident oc curred, of which tho following is a trustworthy account: He.rr von Tnhy was informed by tho Servian military authorities that he , must never quit tho consulato without , Servian escort. Accordingly whither soever ho went ho was accompanied by Servian soldiers. After Bomo time he "as informed that he must not go any where, without giving an hour's notice of his intention to tho military com mandant, after which he had to await tlio arrival of soldiers.

"Mr. Wlckersham told me that he personally was responsible for these warrants not being served; that he had ordered the Cnlted States marshal at Now Y.ork not to make tho arrests pending nn Investigation by the depart ment to see whether the Grand Jury was warranted In finding the Indict ments.

Mcllen und submitted to President Chamberlln of the Grand Trunk and to the directors of that road In London. Gov. Pothler to-night, when asked about this announcement, sold that If the General Assembly would stand be hind him at the next session he would break the monopoly which the New Haven road has In this Stute of trans portation facilities. Washington, Nov. 19 The liuptes slon is growing In Washington that the Department of Justice will take some action under the Sherman untl-trust law to give relief to the New Fngland cities that are complaining of the dis continuance .by thi' Grand Trunk Rail way of work on Its proposed Palmer- Providence branch. Members of the Rhode Islund Public Utilities Commission und the Halltoad Commissioners of Massachusetts had a long talk with Attorney-General Wlck ersham to-day and they cunie away convinced that the Department of Jus tice will move in the matter if evidence can be produced of a conspiracy be tween the Grand Trunk and the New York, New Haven nnd Hartford Rail road to restrain competition. If the De partment of Justice decides to act it will probably ask for a temporary Injunction restraining the Grand Trunk and the New Haven road from entering the traffic agreement which la supposed to be the basis of the discontinuance of work on the Grand Trunk line. As the result of the visit of the Rhode Island and Massachusetts commission ers to Washington It is possible that tho money trust committee of the House may Investigate tho supposed deal be - t ween the New Haven and Grand Trunk interests. It was learned to-day that a, suggestion that this matter be referred i ftlclally to the money trust committee came from Sumuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee. Mr. Untermyer Is said to have wired to certain parties In Providence suggesting that It would be well to refer this matter to the money trust committee. The phase of the situation which the money trust committee would investl- gate would be the report that J. P. Mor gan, controlling factor in tho New Ha ven system through his powerful In fluence In London banking circles, brought pressure to bear which com pelled the Grand Trunk Railway to suspend work on its projected exten sions in New England and to seek a trattic agreement with tho New York, New Haven and Hartford. The only ground for this report, seems to have been the random suggestion that came from an Interstate Commerce Commls. sloner and a few members of Congress. It was pointed out that tho Grand Trunk was obligated to depend In a large measure upon London banking sources for money to finance its railroad con struction. The railroad commissioners from Rhode Island and Massachusetts have not decided as yet whether they will lay the matter before the money trust committee of tho House. They are. however, considering such a course and will decide before they leave Wash ington. Whllo the visiting railroad com missioners wero pleased with their con ferences with the. Department of justice, It Is apparent that the Attur-ney-General believes It will be difficult o frame a caso under the Sherman law If such action Is deemed advisable. The railroad commissioners laid before the Attorney-General tho substance of the proposed traffic agreement be tween tho New Haven and the Grand Trunk Railroad. This traffic agree ment was shown to ihe commis sioners yesterday by Vice-President Chamberlain of the Grand Trunk. The agreement contains no stipulation that construction on the Grand Trunk ex tensions Is to be abandoned and no provision for the reimbursement of that road for the 12,000,000 or more that has already been expended on the proposed new line Into Providence. It lias been the contention of Mr. Cham berlain and other officials of the Grand Trunk that there wns no connection between the extension of work on the new lines and the negotiation for a traffic agreement with tho New Haven. Tho railroad commissioners In pro testing to Attorney-Gcneral Wlcker sham contended, however, thnt an agreement In regard to the discon tinuance of work on the Grand Trunk extension at least exists Infcrentlally and can be made the basis of action by the United States Government. The now traffic agreement as out lined by the commissioners provides for tho continuance for twenty-five years of the agreement now In forco for a one year term allowing' an ex change of traffic by the Grand Trunk, the Central Railroad of Vermont and the BoBton and Maine over the lines between Brattlcboro and Windsor and White Illvcr Junction, The agree ment further provides for a joint traf fln arrangement .between tho Grand Trunk and New Haven thai will give Aisoctatlon. the former entrance to all Important points of the New Haven system. Attorney-General Wlckersham went over the Information submitted by the visiting Ralllroad Commissioners and In structed J (.'. Adkln, an assistant, to ex amine the evidence with a view to as certaining whether there Is a sufficient basis for prosecution either criminally or thtougli a suit In equity. The Railroad Commissioners also called at the White House and hud n Bhort conference with President TaR. He assured them of bis Interest In their mission und referred them to the De partment of Justice. It was learned to-day that the rail road oltlclals of .Massachusetts and Rhode Island are supported In their protests by the railroad commissioners of New Hampshire. The representa tives from the two New Fngland States will confer to-morrow with members of the Interstate Commerce Commission and probably wllh members of the money trust committee. 12 KILLED IN PRISON REVOLT. tlull hi Itnchrforl .Military tturlled by Marine.

There la no use notifying the police. We'll get you anyway!" Mr. O'Connor has studied a history of the Balkan war and fortified himself ac cordingly. He has a collection of line boulders on the edge of tho roof, which he plans to roll down upon the next burglars who wako him up, and it Is understood by neighbors that some ar rangement has been entered Into by Mr. O'Connor und his two brothers by which firearms may be harbored in the house to withstand assaults from outside. $16 TO RENEW ACQUAINTANCES.

Bryan will be Secretary of State In the Cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson provided he accepts. It was learned to-night on authority that can hardly be questioned that the premier post In the Wilson administration haa been of fered to the Nebraakan and that ha probably will accept. Furthermore, Mr. Bryan apparently will be one of Mr. Wilson's chief advisers In aelectlng the new Cabinet.

' That Is the significance that is now attached to Mr. Bryan's forthcoming visit to Bermuda, which was reported this afternoon in press despatches from Hamilton, Bermuda, where President elect Wilson Is now reposing. Mr. Bryan has been In Washington for more than a week. While he has been very guarded In his talk even with his personal friends, he has con ferred with many of the party leaders and to some of them he has appeared In a conciliatory attitude, 'advising har mony and apparently showing a will ingness to cooperate for future party success.
