London. October Vi ?The long-await?
ed battle which will decide the fate
Of Turkey now is being tought. The
army under Nazim Pasha, Minister
?f War and commander-in-chlef. is
engaged, arid according to Constanti?
nople official dispatches, the Operation?
are favorable to the Ottomans. The
dispatches, however, do not indicate
where the chief action is taking place

It Is Turkey's last chance to re?
trieve an almost hopeltss camyaigu.
Vaziin Pasha is flgriting with hts back
to the wall: his communications nave
keen cut and it la irnpossib.e. fur t..m
to get fresh supplies or reinforcements.
In Constantinople the feeling of
confidence Is reviving. It in believed
that the War Minister has at last as?
sumed the offensive. But this is by
no means certain, as the battle may
have been forced upon him.
bona dispatches indicate a continued
forward roov*-tnent of the Bulgarians,
but give, no details. There is still no
confirmation of the reported capture
Of Unle Burgas. Demotica and Drama.
The Bulgarian-' Stall are fighting in
the direction of Visa in pursuance of
their plan to advance to the extreme
cast in the direction of Constanti?
nople. The Greeks also are marching
with victories to their credit, towards i
Saloniki, where a feeling of extreme
anxiety Is said to prevail, and pro- '
visions are running short. The fact |
that no apparent effort is being made <
to stem the Greek advance to Saloniki
Is beid to indicate that the bulk of
Turkey's army there has been trans?
ferred te Thrace.
No recent l&lurmatlon has been re?

PARC ELS POST
WILL REDUCE RATE
New Order Makes Big
Cut on Fourth-Class
Matter.
LAW IN EFFECT
ON JANUARY 1
Important Ruling Regarded by
Postmaster Allan as Distinct
Step in Advance?Reduces
Rate Per Pound From 16
to s Cents in Fifty
Mile Zone.
An order promulgated yesterday by
Postmaster - General Frank Hitchcock
serves notice that, beginning January
1. 1913. all merchandise hitherto
mailed as fourth-class matter will hav?
to be sent in accordance with the new
parcels post regulations, and will be
mailable only when bearing the dis?
tinctive parcels post stamps.
The rule is the most far-reaching
announced by the department In re?
cent years, an>3 is calculated to place
the traffic In fourth-class matter upon
a far more secure and economic basis
than has been the case in the past.
All fourth-class matter is now received
and forwarded at the risk of the
sender. Under the new ruling, each
package in this class will receive Cie
same registration as all otner parcels
post matter, and will carry an in?
demnity for nondelivery.
Great Redact lea la feat.
From the point of view of the send?
er, however, the new rule is particu?
larly welcome, because of the large
saving which it will effect. The rate
on fourth-class matter is' at present
1 cent an ounce, or fraction thereof.
After January 1 packages falling into
this class will be forwarded at the
rates fixed for the zone to which it is
destined.
Thus, a package weighing one pound
will be delivered by the Richmond
post-office to any post-office within a
radius of fifty miles for S cents. Com?
pared with this, the present charge for
the same service is 16 centa In the
second zone, which includes all points
within 150 miles of the sending office,
the charge will be only S cents a
pound.
Even in the eighth zone, which in?
cludes the department's farthest flung
outposts In the "Philippines* and other
colonial possessions, the charge will
be only IS cents s pound?4 cents less
than the highest rate now In force.
There Is only one important restric?
tion. All packages sent as fourth
class matter weighing not more than
four ounces will be charged for at
the present T?te?1 cent" an ounce.
Regrslar Straps Wot Good.
The Postmaster-General's order car?
ries a warning to the public that or?
dinary postage stamps will not be ac?
cepted for use on fourth-class matter.
This is the clstinct change to bear in
mind. Such matter bearing ordinary
stamps will be treated as "held for
postage.' Distinctive parcels post
stamps for this purpose a ill be put
on sale at all post-offices when the
rule goes Into effect.
Fourth-class parcels will be mailable
only at post-offices, branch post-offices,
lettered an-* local-named stations, and
such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmaster. This
rule will cut out s large sassn'ieu of
package boxes now diatnbut ? j over
the city. The complete list of msil
Ing stations for this purpose will be
announced later by Postmaster Allan.
No package Will be accepted for mail?
ing unless it bears the return card
of the sender.
A Stew ha Advance.
"I regard this ruling, as well as the
domesUc parcels post system, sa a dis?
tinct step in advance," said Postmaster
Allan yesterday. 'It will he n moot
Important factor in bringing about a
reduction in the prices of many com?
modities by providing a cheap and
rapid form of transportation.
"To the city man it a ill offer many
farm products of daily consumption,

farm at a low cos: of shipment. We

It is safe to say that the department
will admit all products the carriage
of which will not endanger other mat?
ter. Eggs, butter and similar products
wllL I sm certs In. be received for ship?

One effect of tf.e fourth-class ruling,
said Postmaster Allan, will be to In?
crease greatly the volume of the local
prsckngc business. I'nder this law a
person will be able to deposit s one- j
pseud packaae in the Richmond office
and for the sum of i cents have It de?

Sherman Sleeps After

I rim, N. V.. October 2Se?.After a
rcstlese and unsatisfactory day
Vice-President Spmun dropped off
to Bleep while slttlna la hla chair
at Hi30 o'clock to-night, and at 11
o'clock a til I waa sleeping. Dr. Pork,
who had bora with him aaoat at the
time fee twenty-four hoars, left for
home, expressing conSdenee - that
hla patient would a*o thro nah the
night wlthoat arreat dint re aa. Hta
kidneys are acting nenaewaat more
favorably.
L'tlca, N. Y.. October 29.?No ma?
terial change waa noted to-day In the
condition of Vice-President Sherman.
I At ft o'clock to-night Or. Peck la
1 sued the following statement relative
: to the condition of his patient:
"For the past week or ten daya Mr.
; Sherman's friends and physicians hare
felt a great deal of solicitude about
him. and for the past three or four
days his uremlc condition haa caused
; a great deal of alarm. After a very
disturbing day yesterday ho fell Into a
' natural sleep at 11 o'clock last night
without the aid of sleep-producing
drugs and slept until S o'clock th's
' morning quietly and comfortably. This
i afternoon there has been a recurrence
. of his disturbance, but for the larger
part of the afternoon he has been
j resting quietly. His heart strength Is
j keeping up well, his pulse Is front ??
! to So; temperature practically normal;
i respiration from 1? to 16."
j During the day there were several
t emergency calls from the Sherman
j house for' tne physician. The*" Vice
j President was not in grest pain, bat
was extremely restless and at times ir?
rational, both of which conditions were
' caused by the presence of uremlc
j poison due to the inaction of the kld
! neys. Or. Peck makes no effort to
minimize the seriousness of this con
' dltion. 'but is hopeful to stimulate the
; kidneys and, if he succeeds, expects
a marked improvement- In no event
does he anticipate a vital crisis for a
day or two.
No Entert te Ceaeeal Facta.
There is no effort to conceal the
facts concerning the Vloe-Presldent's
case. On the contrary, both Dr. Peck
and Mr. Sherman's family concede Us
critical natura
The doctors say, however, that kid?
ney diseases are of such a nature that
it is quite impossible to foretell the
course of any given case with exact?
ness. Mr. Sherman's robust constitu?
tion Is In his favor, but the fact that
he has lost ground steadily since Au?
gust weighs against him.
Dr. Janeway. of New York, and Dr.
? Eisner, of Syracuse, both of whom
have been called into consultation
during the past ten dsys. confirm Dr.
Peck's diagnosis, leaving no doubt
that the kidneys ars the seat of the
malady, while the heart, the arteries
and the muscles about the heart ars
all seriously involved.
Dearth WsnsM Create Press, sn.

Illness was the subject of repeated In?

ANNOUNCEMENT
IS AUTHORIZED
She Is Widow of Grover Cleve?
land. Former President of
United States, and Her Wed?
ding Was Notable Event in
White House History.
Date Not Yet Fixed.
Princeton. N J.. October 29.?Mn.
Grover Cleveland authorizes the an?
nouncement of her engagement to
Thomas Joseph Preston, professor of
archaeology and history of arts at
Wells College. The date of the mar?
riage is not yet determined, but will
be announced later.
Mrs. Cleveland Is a graduate ot
Wells? College, and has been a trustee
of that institution since lsfcT.
Her wedding to President Grover
Cleveland, which took place in the
Executive Mansion during his first
administration, was one of the notable
events in the history of the White
House. Her father. Oscar Folsom. was
a law partner of Mr. Cleveland, who
upon Mr. Folsom s death in 18<?, be?
came Frances Kolsom's guardian.
After his retirement from the presi?
dency Mr. Cleveland made his per?
manent home in Princeton, and Mrs.
Cleveland has continued to reside
there since the former President died
in 1908. Her two daughters. Esther
! and Marion, and her son Kichard F-,
are living with her here.
The announcement of the engage?
ment waa made to-night by President
John Grier Hibben, of Princeton Uni?
versity, who said:
"Professor Preston is fifty years of
' age. He la a graduate of Princeton
j and one whom we hold in very high
j esteem. As a young; man he >oegan
j his university studies at Columbia
j which, however, were Interrupted on
! account of illness. At that time he
gave up the Idea of completing his
education and went Into business, in
which he made a very rapid and not?
able success, establishing htm at the
head df a very ye napes cue manufac?
turing company In Newark, M. J.
"After securing; a substantial fortune
and feeling keenly that continued
business success could not compensate
for his abandoned college career, he
determined to attain a Ions; desired
! end. which his?#arfier years had de
. nled him. Although near ins; the age
'of forty, he nevertheless closed his
active business career and went abroad
: to study for two years at the Sorbonne,
I Parla
"Returning to America, he came to
' Princeton for two more years of addi?
tional study. On account of the wide ,
range and unusual excellence of his ,
; work, both in undergraduate and ;
! graduate studies, he took at the same |
commencement not only the degree of |
Lit. B. but the degree of M. A as
well, a very unique attainment He
was also elected at that time to t
Princeton Chapter of the Phi Beta
Kappa Society.
"Professor Preston was exceedingly
popular, and male many friends while
nt Princeton. He was subsequently
appointed fellow of the American
School of Classical Study st Rome, and
lster won In a competition open to all
universities of the United States the
fellowship of the Archaeological Insti?
tute of America. After pursuing hin j
studies abroad, he returned to Prince?
ton and took his decree of doctor of I
philosophy. He was then called to [
his present professorship of Weirs Col?

Governor Wilson Replies to
Statement of Taft, and Regrets
Necessity of Teaching His?
tory to President of United
States?Attacks Both
His Opponents.
Newark. N. X. October JS.?Govern**?
Wood row Wilson, in three spesahahy,
filled with satirical attacks on his op?
ponent*, emphasized in New Jaissy
to-night that he was not a believer
in free trade, and that the D?n?en>
tic party did not intend to dwtarw
legal business or the prosperity ot the)
country if put into power.
The Democratic nominee declare*
those of his opponents who constantly
asked him to define his position on the
tariff "could not read the English
language."
He said he had repeated time and,,
again in his speeches his policy at
cutting out of the tariff merely the)
special privileges l0'i?.:J In tt. "Na
thoughtful Democrat." he added, "hen
advocated free trade."
To President Taffs statements pub?
lished to-day with regard to the panto
of the early nineties. Governor Wilson
made an extended reply, first, at Mont
tlair. where he addressed a bis; audl
i ence. and again at Newark, where ho
j spoke to-night. He said it was wrong?
I to attribute tfiat panic to tariff legle
! latlon, "because the panic started be
) fore the tariff bill was enacted." Ho
attributed the panic to Republican
currency legislation. %
Most Teach the Petal seat.
"I find I art Invited to return to mir
old occupation,", said the Governor.
"I used to be a teacher of history, and
I find It necessary to teach it some)
more. T find myself abashed In facing:
the necessity of teaching It to the
President of the United States.
"And when the President at th*)
United States makes hlmssaf napes
aibls for ths statement that the
of 1893 was due to a tariff <btll
came a year afterward, and
cause of Mr. Cleveland's admit
tion. I can only express my deep
gret that the President of tan Us
States haa not read the history of
United States.
"Any statement that Mr. Taft _
1 believe to be made In honesty. bsr*>.
this statement, if he has made It. mm
has made in ignorance; because thnW
panic of 1S93 can be shown to havejt;
arisen out of currency legislation sag
a government absolutely controlled uj*:
the Republican party: The panic af.
1S93 was on its way before Mr. Cleosr:
land became President, and tt matured
merely in the first part of bis adminis?
tration, and would have been steppest
if the Senate of the United States bad
yielded more promptly to ths adsssey';
of the administration.
"It is unworthy of men in puhUa
life to mislead the public thought afxesT
such a fashion, but I don't doubt tsslf
verdict of the 5th of November.
"I don't limit my view by the Ds*S*k|
ocratic party. I look through tad).
Democratic party to the destinies eat*
the United States, and If the Dsssas*?!
era tic party does not serve you mVSt
tor you have tried it, reject tt. and Mjt
will Join you 'in rejecting U." ?
The Governor declared that th* new jj
grams of the otner two parties uyuMSfe
"programs of postponement.'*
"One of the evidences of the
ness of the regular Republican
he said. "Is its misetatementa
manifestations of despair on the
boards. They say Governor
does not sufficiently define his
tion on the tan'v AH we have to
to know Governor Wilson's position

English langusge. In almost

Philadelphia last night, ana let

"For those wl o are curious or

"In the first place. I have not heard

Democrat declaring for a policy of
going through all the schedules of th?)
