London. November 7.?The laat
twenty-four hoars have brought lit?
tle new? of Importance from the seat
of war. The report that Saloniki baa
been evacuated la premature, and a
similar report concerning Monas tir
StlU hi unconfirmed. There Is no au?
thentic news of the alleged defeat of
the Tarka before Tebatalja. On the
contrary, a Constantinople dlspaUb
sets forth the Turkish claim that there
are no Bulgarians before Tehatalla.
and that both armies are resting. T*e
Turkish reports regarding the pro?
gress of the war, however, have been
so consistently misleading as to have
little value.
The pr?sent lull In news may mean
that some Important action la pro?
ceeding. In the meantime, diplomatic
efforts to end the war are making
no progress, and the European press Is
busy discussing all aspects of the set?
tlement of the difficult questions.
Everything tends to show that almost
Irreconcilable antagonisms will arise
over the allocation of Turkish terri?
tory. Servta claims as her share a
large part of Albania. Including vba
Adriatic ports of Purasso. Ailezzto and
San Giovanni dl Medua. According to
the Servian Premier's statement to tiie
Parts Temps, the allies desire the
partition of European Turkey, leaving
the fate of Constantinople to the de?
cision of the powers.
According to reports current in Ber?
lin, the Intention of the allies Is to
divide Albania between Servia am*
t?reece. but ?n agreement already ex?
ists between Austria and Italy whtca
would be supported by Germany, guar?
anteeing the integrity and independ
? nee of Albania, and the triple alliance
is determined to prevent Servia at all
costs from reaching the Adriatic It
is even asserted that the triple alli?
ance has agreed to make Albania in?
dependent with the Duke of t&e Ab
ruzgl as King.
Another important meeting took
place at Bucharest to-day between the
Roumanian Premier and the Russ'an
and Austrian ministers. It Is report?
ed thst the powers to-morrow will
communicate to the Balkan states
Turkey s request for mediation.
Oys eased te Seeking Peaee.
Constantinople, November 7.?Public
opinion In Constantinople is strongly
opposed to the idea of seeking media?
tion or peace. Nasim Pasha, the Turk?
ish commander-tn-chlef. has reported
to the r TTemment that the army Is
determln a to tight until victorious or
absolutely defeated. He regards the
reverses sustained as unfortunate, bat
eays the brave Ottoman army Is con?
fident of ultimate success, and that
, the whole corps of officers Is unani?
mous in favor of continuing the war.
The principal officers in Constanti?
nople have handed the Grand Visier,
Kiamil Pasha, a signed declaration In
the same spirit and the Party of;
Union and Progress promises to sup?
port the government In the policy of
press cu ting the wsr with energy.
These considerations are having
weight with the government
Meanwhile, there ba\e been no de?
velopments st the front. Reconnais?
sances by the eastern army to-day be?

ence of any Bulgarians, but Nazis
Paska reports that a Bulgarian recon
aoltering party was repulsed about
four miles from Rodosto. So far as
can be learned here, there has been
very little change In the military sit?
uation in the last twenty-four hou-->.
A sort of self-imposed armistice ob?
tains on the Thracean plains Both
Sides sppear to require time to rest

It Is believed by Turkish officials
that probably a week will elapse be?
fore hostilities are resumed along; tue
Tebataija lines, which battle Is ex?
pected to decide the campaign, unless
pesc-'. comes to spare the oelllgerents

The rumor that Saloniki has been
Occupied la not confirmed, but It IS

Mussulman refugees continue to ar?

Ordinarily. Tennessee could be ra-|
lied upon to help the Democratic party,
but the factional light there may pre?
vent la this arista In Illinois there
are complications growing out of the
multiplicity of parties, rendering it
uncertain whether there will be a sen?
atoral election. In that State there
should be chosen a successor to the
deposed Senator Larimer, a* well as to
Senator Cullom. wins* term expires
oa the 4th of next March. If there
should be no election the effect would
be to favor the Democrats by reducing
the membership Sf the Senate to ninety
four, of which number tba forty-eight
already chosen would' be a working|
majority.

AM
In addition to the aid of the Vicc
Preaident in an emergency, they will
find willing co-operation among the
Progressive Senators. Three or four
of the Progressives are almost as lib?
eral in their tariff views and on other
questions a* the Democrats them?
selves. Senators Clap p. La Follette. j
Cummins. Gronna. Brlstow and PoJn
dexter are all avowed tariff reformers.
They also favor advanced legislation j
on other subjects. Senator Works an?
nounced his intention of voting for
the Democratic presidential candidate
some time before the election. This
determination was due. however, to a
peculiar combination of circumstances,
and the California Senator probably I
would not wish to have it construed |
as binding him to a Democratic legis?
lative policy. He is classed as a pro-!
tectioniet. '
Of the thirty-one hold-over Repub?
licans eight have been classed as Pro?
gressives In the past. They are Sena?
tors Bristow. of Kansas: Crawford, of
South Dakota: Cummins, of Iowa
Gronna, of North Dakota: Clasp, of
Minnesota; La Follette. of Wisconsin.
Polndexter. of Washington, and Works,
of Can font ia Mr. Norrls has been one
of the leaders of the Progressive ele?
ment In the House, and will continue
to co-operate with that element in the
Senate, as it Is expected that Senator
Kenyan, of Iowa, will, and possibly
Senator Borah, of Idaho, ta such meas?
ure* as may appeal to them. ?
Much interest I* manifested in the
political ajnietion* of the Progres?
sives. Heretofore they bare been con?
tent to be known as Progress! ve-Re
publtoaas. Whether any number of
them will withdraw from the Repub?
lican party is a problem. Senators
Bristow. Clapp and Polndexter are
understood to hare supported Mr.
Roosevelt, and If they should decline
to co-operate with the Republicans of
the Senate the change would mate?
rially weaken the old party.

Near York. November 7.?Uncertainty
as to the electoral choice of California
and Illinois, as developed by belated
?return*, from both States, was t-ie
chief point of Interest to-da>. although
the counting of ballots in several
doubtful States still was under way.
That Illinois was safely in the Wil?
son column was indicated early in
the evening, but California, which had
been claimed by the Progressives -cur?
ing the day, wavered back to the
Democratic ranks, but with a plurality
so slender as to be almost negligible
At 10 o'clock to-night Wilson's
plursllty over Roosevelt In the State
had been reduced to ninety-nine
votes. A total of 4.238 precincts out
- 4.372 gar* Wilson. r>M*?: Roose?
velt, 280.127. Four precincts from Los |
Angelas County contributed towaru I
this change.
After apparently holding Illinois for
nearly forty hours from tr<- time t'ie
polls closed. Colonel Roosevelt lost its
twenty-nine electoral votes late m the
day. when the assembling of State?
wide returns showed a definite victory
for Governor Wilson,
On the strength of incomplete re?
turns as to the popular vote for Wil?
son. Roosevelt and Taft, the estimate
waa made to-night that Governor Wil?
son would not have a majority of all
votes east, in many States the popular
rote has been only roughly estimated
thus far.- but the reports Indicate that
the combined vote of Roosevelt and
Taft will be approximately l.OOe.000
more than the vote for Governor Wil?
son.
The figures will be materially
changed by the final count, but it is
expected the proportion for each can?
didate will net vary greatly. The pre- |
llmlnaxy count gives Wilson approxl- j
mat?_?!>? ti per cent of the rote. Roose- j
vert zi per cent and Taft 2? per cent, j
The total vote thus far reported is
lasa than In 190S, while official returns!
are expected to bring It above those i
figures. In 19)8. out of a combined
vote of 14.030.858 cast for Taft and
Bryan. President Ta/t received over 34
.per cent
Returns from Minnesota to-day con- .'
firmed the claim of Roosevelt to the ?
twelve electoral votes of that State.!
The Wilson victory, claimed on the j
earlier returns, had become doubtful!
last Rlghf as the count progressed. ]
Latest returns to-day. with many pre- j
eincts still to be heard from, gave i
Roosevelt an apparently safe major-1
Ry.
The victory for Wilson in Newj
Hampshire did not carry with it con- ?
trol of the State Legislature, where!
the Republicans again have a majority j
on Joint ballot, and wlU dictate the)
selection of a United States Senator, j

It became apparent early to-day that
Wilson soon would *ass Roosevelt's
vote. Throughout the day. Wilson's
gain was gradual. Then, when be waa
approximately 9.090 ahead of Roose
volt It was discovered that the Presi?
dent-elect had been credited erroneous?

I Princeton, N. J-. November 7.?Presi?
dent-Elect Wood row Wilson ha* not
decided upon the personnel of his Cabi?
net, and he Intends to keep his mind
opeh on the subject for a long time
before he takes otBoe. He manifestly
was concerned to-day about certain
speculations emanating from Prince?
ton with respect to the probable make?
up of his Cabinet. To pot an end. If
possible, to all gossip about Cabinet
appointments, he issued the following
statement:
"Such speculations are perfectly
fruitless, i mean to keep my mind
entirely open with regard to appoint?
ments of the first consequence until a
final announcement is possible. It will
be perfectly useless to resort to me for
co rroboration of any report, because
I shall have absolutely nothing to an?
nounce. No announcement will have
the least authority that is not made
over my own signature. These are
matters which must be determined by
very deliberate counsel, and not by
gossip."
There la every reason to believe that!
Wood row Wilson, both aa presidential1
nominee aad President-elect, has not
i discussed the framing of a Cabinet
I with anybody, but will not make any
: final decision until after he maps out
j bis own coarse mt action with regard
i to his administration. From his an?
nounced intention of being the ''bast
listener in the United States" for a
few monttha it is probable that until
he baa talked with party leaders and
taken counsel with people all over the
country be will not let his mind deal
specifically wrth appointments.
Hta public Duty.
The Presldent-eleot said to-night
that he considered the time between his
election and his Inauguration a period
in which he should listen very care?
fully to the Ideals of men enlightened
and informed on national questions,
and that It was "a public duty" for
him to do so.
The President-elect was confronted
to-night with reports about his pro?
posed vacation. He said any definite
announcement that he was going to
the Bermudas was not authorised. I
"For the very reason that I am going
away to rest." he added, "I will hava
no announcement of my plana ta make
until the day before I start." He said
if he did take a sea trip he certainly
would not go on a private yacht, but
would go as any other person would
>n a regular steamer. He la anxious
for a vacation, and it is likely be will
get away within a fortnight.
Governor Wilson had a busy time
with his correspondence and telegrema,
to-day. Callers came In a steady pro?
cession. In spite of the rain aad muddy
roads. President Edwin A. Alderman,
of ?he University of Virginia, aad]
Dean Richard Dabney. of the same In?
stitution, paid a visit of compliment.
Peyton Cochran and Colonel Armi
stead Gordon, both of Staunton. Va.. j
the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson,
came to Invite him to visit the little
town again. They told him they were;
arranging; for "a birthplace Jubilee" tor |
him. He promised to come, and they
reft It to him to select a convenient
date. The President-elect said it prob-1
ably would be during the month of
December, though he was not sure
whether It would be on or near bis
birthday. December 28. when be wUl]

RECOGNITION IS

Wilson Not Legally Bound to
Give Any Appointments
to Progressives
COMPLICATIONS LIKELY
Bull M oosers Will Demand
Representation on Various
Boards and Commissions.
Washington, November 7.?State?
ments by Progressive party leaders
that they will expect representation
on nonpartisan government boards,
commissions, etc., has lsd to an exami?
nation here of the laws and prece?
dents bearing on such appointments.
This shows, it is declared, that the
lawmakers. In creating nonpartisan
boards and commissions,, made no pro?
vision (or selection of members from
minority parties. ConsequenUy the;
general rule haa been merely to pro- j
hibit more than a majority of thej
members of these boards and commis- I
I sions being selected from one party,
nothing being said from what party or
parties the minority shall be chosen.]
In accordance with this President
Wilson would be legally free <c most
cases to select minority members from
any of the minority parties.
The Hepburn rate law. increasing
the number of members of the Inter?
state Commerce Commission from live
to seven, provided that "nit more than
four commissioners shall be appointed
from the same petty." The law gov?
erning the appointment of three civil
service commissioners provided that
"not more than two of whom shall be
adherents of the same party." Turn
law creating the Board of General Ap?
praisers at New York provides that
"not more than five of whom shall bo
appointed from the same p>lttical
psrty."
It Is generally recognized that the
I question of moral support for the do
I mand for representation will be passed
; upon by the Democratic leaders alone. I
In the House and Sennte represents-J
I Uon of Pr->gre*si\cs on committees and,'

ocratic majority required the Hepub
llcan minority, the leading minority. to

I rule in both the House and the Senate
Is to allow the minority leader to make
j assignments of minority members or

"Washington, November -7.?Although
