Infinite Nv^x From Battle Mm* Kut KiunoM by \\m> Constantinople Indk-atc That Bulgarians lUvr in f?M?i. ,| Turk* it Their \mW Line of l>efeiier. London. Nov. 11.?Judging l?y ail precedent* In the present Turkish- 1 Balkan war the news from Const an- ' tlnople Is the herald of another Tur? kish defeat at the Tchatalja lines, ' guarding Conatantin ?ple. where a bat? tle has been proceeding for the las* ' two or three days. The Turkish ad- 1 mission that so many wounded are 1 arriving at the capital as to show that the Turk* are offering fierce re? sistance has great algflcance in view of the previous admissions of a simi? lar nature and may be regarded as preparing the minds of Turks for an? other disappointment. It may be quite possible thst this will prove the last great battle of the cam? paign. There are indications that Kulgarla may. after all. force a triumphal entry Into Constantinople. Accord f Ing to some reports Kulgarla will be content with finding winter quarters for her army while the pes^e nego? tiations are going on and aubnequent settlements are being arranged. The question of mediation has been pat forward another step, according to the announcement from Tarts that the Austrian government has agreed to Join with the other powers in trans? mitting Turkeys request for media? tion to the allies and Inquiring on what terms the allies arc disposed to accept mediation. ^ The revelation of the danger to European peace hing In the an? tagonistic Interests of Austria and Bervla appears to have quickened the sease of the powers and probably of the Balkan states also to the impera? tive need of working In amicable co I operation to procure a set?oment ac? ceptable to all concerned. Another factor making for the speedy cessation of the war Is the approach of sever winter conditions. There la talk still in Vienna of send? ing an ultimatum to Bervla and other . warlike reports, but it Is believed * Oermany is exercising an ameliorat? ing Influence In the direction of per? suading both Austria and Servia to consent to a postponement of the settlement until the whole matter can be dealt with by a European confer? ence Meanwhile diplomacy Is active in all the European capitals. It Is understood that after hla Important mission at Budapest Is concluded, I>r Daneff. president of the Bulgarian chamber of deputies, will go to the other European courts to explain the ?lews of the allies. The Servian f premler. II. PachKlch, after an Im? portant cabinet meeting, left Belgrade tonight for Uskup to conault with King Peter on the situation. The reported mobilisation of Aua tro-Hungarlan forces Is denied. Roumanla, however, Is taking certain , military measures with a view to be? ing preparing for eventualities. The war minister has issued an order to all the army corps that half the c n tlngent which was to have been dis? missed November 14 is to be retained with the colors until further orders. No late news of importance has been received from Adrlanople, Scu? tari or other point*, where the armies of the allies have 'ho Turks in 'lose quarters. WILSON l \ITr<TS IT.

The tlrst of the state's witnesses will be heard t< morrow. More than 100 talesmen were ex? amined before the last juror took his seat in the box. The four pris? oners, "Pago Krank," "Whitey Lewis," "Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the I Hood, ' all took a hand in directing their counsel. Attorney Wahle chal? lenged talesmen, but "Dago Frank" who sat nearest the lawer appear? ed to be the leading adviser among the four. The jury Is as follows: No. 1, fore? man, William H. Montgomery, a buyer; No. |, Leo. Kramer, real estate dealer; No. 3, Edwin Fisher, carpet designer; No. 4, Samuel M.

All are middle-aged men of different nationalities and are married. The lateness of tonight's session was in part due to the fact that, after the choice of a 12th juror had been made. Frederick Shab-k, who had been chosen as juror No. 4, was taken 111, and the substitution of Comstock for him became necessary. The jurors, after being warned to discuss the case with no one. were permitted to go to their homes. It is believed that "Haid Jack" Rose who testified against Chas. Becker, former police lieutenant, convicted of Instigating the murder, will be among the first witnesses called tomorrow. "MAY HAVE LABOR MKLMBER."

Senator Borah has Indicated his purpose to push It for action as soon as congress reconvenes. NEW MARKET FOR WHEAT. American Farmer Has "Discovered" France as Consumer. Paris, Nov. 2.?The American farm? er ha? evidently "discovered" France as a market for his wheat, for during the last few months his exports to this country have doubled. They will be quadrupled If the war continues and the Russian crop is shut out because of the danger to navigation in the Black sea and the detention of Greek 'Stasis by the porte. Wheat from the Orient is largely consumed, sspecialy in the south of France, on account of its richness in gltltsn, but the American Hour will supply the deficiency until tho arrival of the surplus crop from Argentina, Australia and India. Nothing more than a local advance In prices is to be feared. On the other hand the closing of tie Dardanelles, if effectual, will en? tail a d< arth In oil. This will not only affect the automobile industries, which consume vast quantities of gas oline, most of which comes from the Near Last. but a large category of manufacturers dependent on heavy or light mineral oils Already the prlt e of automobile essence is high and threatens to go much higher.

Brewer announced today that an in? junction had been obtained against I the striking students of the Missis? sippi Agricultural and Mechanical college from remaining on the col? lege grounds or molesting those of the students who refused to join the strik- ; elf.

OFFER PLEASES WILSON. "A VERY PRETTV SENTIMENT," says NEXT PRESIDEN P. South Carolina Capital Almost Cer? tain to be Seat of National Gov? ernment During Democratic Ad" ministration, at Least for Dart of Each Winter. Outcome of Commit? tee's Visit to Princeton ? Presi? dent-Elect Undecided as to Extra session of Congress, Princeton, x. J., Nov. 11.?Presl uont-elect Woodrow Wilson has his mind open on the question of whether he shall call an extra session of Con? gress to revise the tariff. He asked the newspaper correspondents tonight to obtain for him a list of the public men and business men who bad de? clared themselves for or against the extra session. Though the Governor has tried to follow closely in the news? papers the various expressions of opinion, he said tonight he was afraid he might havo missed some of them in his reading and that he was anx? ious to get all the opinions before him. It is known that Governor Wilson has a high regard for the opinion of Oscar W. Underwood, the majority leader of the Democrats In the last session, and that in making up his mind ho will give careful attention to Mr. Underwood's argument. Mr. Un? derwood is reported as favoring an extra session. The futture President was invited today to spend the winters at Co? lumbia, S. Ci his old home. William E. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State; Mayor W. H. Gibbes, Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina; J. E. Swearingen, State Superintendent of Education, and James Woodrow, a cousin of Mr. Wilson and an Instructor in the Uni? versity of South Carolina, officially informed him of the purchase by the people of the State of his boyhood home, and that it was being remodel? led for his use as a winter home. It is probable that the Wilsons will spend part of their winters there. "It's a very pretty sentiment," said the Governor tonight. "When I was a half-grown boy my father built a house in Columbia which my moth? er altogther planned and, of course, I remember all the details of its build? ing and the development of the little pieee of property. These gentlemen today came to tell me that my friends in South Carolina had interested themselves to get control of that house, which they would fix up in any way convenient for me to use in the winter if 1 wanted to go South while President." "The house is near a big and com? fortable hotel, built sine? our time, that will make it quite convenient for the secretaries and their families to live within easy touch of me. It seemed to me it was an ideal sugges? tion and that it embodied a very pret? ty sentiment. In that little Southern home I had perhaps the largest num? ber of my boyhood associations. Of course. I expect to have my same old room when I return to the old home? stead." Mr. Gonzales, of th*. delegation, said after calling on the Governor, that the house had been purchased by the people of South Carolina and that It had been placed at the disposal of the President-elect "for a period of eight years."

Washington, Nov 11.?The Aldrich currency bill bids fair to be a bone of contention in both houses during the next session of Congress. Although strongly recommended by the mone? tary commission, of which former Senator Aldrich was chairman, the currency bill received no attention from either the Senate or House dur? ing the session immediately preced? ing the recent campaign. Its friends thought it most expedient to lay it aside until after the election, but the expec tation is it will be passed dur the short session, and the report was current at the Capital today that there would be an effort to reorganize the House committee on banking and currency, so as to insure favorable action by that committee early in the next se ssion of Congress in case of its non-success this winter. opposition to the bill is more pro? nounced in the House than in the Senate, and it is understood Chair? man Henry, of the House committee on rules, would exert the influence of his position to the utmost to prevent the bringing in of a rule for the con? sideration or the measure unless it be recommended by a house caucus. His position is that because of the at? titude of the Baltimore Convention the bill should no* be acted upon by the House Without the positive ap? proval of a majority of the Democra? tic members given in advance of such action. opponents of the bill aready are lining up for Representative Carter Glass, of Virginia, as the next chair? man of the banking commitee. The chairmanship now is held by Repre? sentative Pujo. of Louisiana, bu: he will not be a nu mber of the 63d Con? gress Mr. Glass now holds second place on the committee, but it if ex? pected he will be antagonized b> the supporters of the Aldrich bill. ?????????
