Outbreak of Cholera Adds
to War's Horrors.
London. November 10.?The Bulga?
rian ?ttack on the Tchatalja lines go fa
on unrelentingly. According to a cor
respondent at the front, further Turk?
ish positions have been captured, but
their location haa not been Indicated,
In accordance with the invariable Bul?
garian plan never to reveal inform?
ation to the enemy.
There la another unconfirmed report
that Monaatlr haa been captured. The
capture of Dlbra. an Important town
In Albania, fey the Servians after heavy
fighting constitutes all the military
news of importance since yesterday.
Some Idea of the bloody nature of
this war may be formed from the fact
that It Is now estimated that 150.000
men have been put out of action on
both sides since the opening of hos?
tilities.
The Turkish government clearly has
little hope of holding the Tchatalja
lines.
The dispatch of 100 tfemas to the
front with the avowed intention of
stirring up religious fanaticism in the
army Is Interpreted as the counsel of
despair.
There Is no confirmation of the re?
port that the Turkish government has
opened direct negotiations with the al?
lies. Turkey's Immediate object ap?
pears to be to gain time, hoping for
something from the rivalry of the
European powers. It is also making
argent diplomatic efforts to prevent
the Bulgarian troop* from entering
Constantinople. In this connection
there is an idea prevalent In Sofia
that som > Important diplomatic action
i- afoot to this end.
With regard to the difficulty be?
tween Servia. and Austria, the Vienna
itetchspost. in denying that any com?
mon action by the triple alliance in
Belgrad? la intended, says Austria has
no egotistical plana regarding Al?
bania, iut is only anxious to preserve
Albanian national political freedom,
and in this object has the support of
Germany and Italy. But. the paper
adds, the mere asaurance by Bervla
that she would not fortify her harbor
on the Adriatic would give little se?
curity, and her passage through Al?
bania cannot t>e conceded. According
to an inspired statement, the view or
the Balkan allies is that an autonom?
ous Albania, instead of contributing
to the peace of the Baikanf. would
t>a a source of perpetual trouble and
?lisorder among the Albanian people
themselves, who have never been in
dependent, have no national feeling,
and are of various religious faltha and
nationalities* with no common lan?
guage, not even a common alphabet.
The disorders, it is urged, would In?
evitably spread to the surrounding
state*, and. instead af a permanent
settlement. Furopt vmld be left with

and Germany. Austria and Italy, the

the point of reaching an agreement
to prevent the Bulgarian army from
occupying Constantinople The six
governments find themselves in ac?
cord on the principle, aad active ex?
changes are In progress as to the
means to be taken to bring about this
result
One suggestion is a collective pro?
visional occupation of Constantinople
by the alz powers, with the consent
?f Turkey ander the assumption that
such action Is necessary to protect the
subjects of the respective nations aad
?>> maintain arder. The Bulgarian
government appears already to have
fcidloaced that it haa no intention of
trying to hold Constantinople, and
that It will occupy the Turkish capi?
tal temporarily only until peace bad
been arranged.
This, It la said, fs not satisfactory
to the power*. It Is pointed oaf that
?uch occupation might continue In"- i
definitely, and certainly In the long
discussion precedlna a settlement of,
the caeaVons raised by the war. and j

HEARS HIS HIST
PULPIT TRIBUTE
Wilson, as President
Elect, Is Subject of
Sermon. I
HE IS LIKENED
TO HABAKKUK
Preacher Believes He Is Man
Who Will Not Be Loved by
the Conservative People of
This Day, and One Whom
They Are Likely
to Crucify.
Princeton. X. J.. November i
President-Elect Wood row Wilson to?
day heard for the first time a pulpit
tribute paid to him an thp future execu?
tive of -the nation. He sat in his usual
pew at the First Presbyterian Church
with Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Jes?
sie and Eleanor Wilson and listened
attentively to both prayer and ser?
mon, in which divine guidance was
besought for his administration.
In his first prayer the fjev. Sylves?
ter W. Beach appealed for God's pro?
tection and aid for the future Presi?
dent.
??We beseech. Thee, our Father.'' he
prayed slowly, "to regard with Thy
favor and Thy love Thy servant, the
President-eleiCt of the United States.
I>efe-nd him from all evil and enrich
him with all needed good. Sustain
him in the great responsibilities that
through the people Thou hast larid
upon him; give him unflinching cour?
age, deep insight, loyal devotion to
duty as God shall give him to see it.
and the wisdom which eometh down
from atoove."
The Rev. Mr. Beach Is a Princeton '
graduate, three classes earlier than
Governor Wilson, and has known the
Wilson family Intimately during Dr.
Wilson's administration of the univer?
sity affair*. For his sermon to-day
he chose the Old Testament character
of Habakkuk as one resembling that.
of the President-elect.
"His outlook Is peculiarly his own," i
said the preacher of Habakkuk, yet]
symbolizing at the same time the i
character of the President-elect. "It
is a new direction that he looks.
Other prophets have looked at the j
people, addresaed the peaple: have
been messenger* of God to the na-:
Hon. This prophet only looks to the
people that he may more intensely
and inquiringly look towards God.
His utterance 1s In the form of rever- j
ence. but of daring challenge.
Likely to Ciweify Him.
"Obviously this is not a man who:
by any chance can be overlooked. He
Is not a man likely to be loved by the
very conservative of this day. He is
the sort of mas they are likely to
crucify. He Is a prophet whom God
inspire* to bring a message all his
own. He 's steadied by a sense of
personal responsibility, and only from
the standing ground of his own faith
witness does he fee! that be haa the .
right to ask and expect light*'
After the services the President?
elect stood for a few minutes on the
steps of the church while Princeton's
church-going folk came to congratu?
late htm.
During the afternoon Governor Wil?
son cleared up some of his correspond?
ence. He admitted that some of the
letters contained suggestions for his
Cabinet, but further than that he was,
noncommittal.
National Chairman William F. Mc
Combe. after a two-day f visit to
Princeton, left to-night ?
In discussing his coming vacation.
Dr. Wilson said to-day that he la go?
ing to be free from care* of every.
kind during the Urn* he la away. I
Neither National Chairman McOombs
nor Vice-Chairman McAdoo. nor any
of the other men prominently Identi?
fied with the campaign, will Invade

While the issues have been joined In
the. two biggest cases?the suits against
the steel and harvester trusts?it is
not thought they will be ready for de?
cision by March 4. The steel suit
probably will extend well into the new
administration, but officials announce
the end of the testimony and argu?

or May.
Several of the suits against retail
lumber dealers associations, regarded
as among the most Important cases
because they Involve the extent of the
rights of the "middleman" In com?
merce, will In ail probability be ready
for determination in the courts before
Taft retires.
The suit against the "towing trust"
on the Great Lakes Is awaiting the de?

United States Supreme Court may rend?
er Its opinion in the "hard coal ' suit

OUTRAGES BY ZAPATISTAS
Wandering Bands Commit Mur?
der and Arson by Way
of Reprisals.
Mexico City. November 19.?Genera)
Gerontmo Trevino, recently retired at
tie own request from the army. Is
suggested as provisional President of
Mexico In a new revolutionary mani
I .'eeto which has just reached the
i capital. The document is signed by
I Gandenciro de la LJave, colonel of
j regulars, who lately joined the in
; surgerita; Benjamin Roderiguez and
! F. R. PradiUo, the latter with Orozco's
j army, until be incurred Orozco's dls
I pleasure by taking EmSlio Vazquez
! Gomez from San Antonio to Juarez.
1 The manifesto is dated Puebla, the day
after the capture of General Felix
Diaz. The newspapers of Mexico City
have r-frained from mentioning the
manifesto, and it is not believed Gen-'
eral Trevino is interested.
Another revolutionary document 3b-'
talned by the police from Zapatistas
was made public to-day.' It appears
to reveal the Intention of the Zapata j
brothers and the leading insurreotory j
chiefs to imitate the French Revolu- j
lion. Promises are made to the In- <
surgeant army, to which the document j
is addressed, that a guillotine win
be erected in the capital, and that the
heads of many of the rich will fall;
It also promises that others will end
their days tu the Mexican "baotlle."
Activities Ceoffassw.
Notwithstanding the failure of the
Zapatistas to take Caenavaca. activi?
ties In the states of Moreloa Guerrero
and Mexico continue, and the govern?
ment is planning to "resume the ex?
termination" tactics employed by Gen?
eral Fobles a few months ago with
some success. General Blanquet will
be left in the Zapata district. I?toad
of being ordered to return Borth to
resume the campaign against the Or ox- j
co rebels.
The defeat administered by General
Blaaqoet at Caenavaca appears to have!
excited the Zapatistas to more bor-!
rible outrages. Wandoring bands are
committing murder and arson In the
way of reprisals. A freight train was
stopped near Puebla by a band last I
nfaht. The conductor wsa stabbed to
death, the engineer was stabbed, and.
though not killed was thrust Into the
ft-- box of th? locomotive, snd th?
door closed.
Reports are carrent of a new plot,
a well-known army officer having bad
a conference with the Oroxco adher
enta with the object of organism* all
factions of the rebels. The government j
has been unable to locate General!

twice while prowling about at night
with bombs under his arm he had . to
employ tact in saving the lives of
night watchmen.
incidents in connection with tbe

bomb was almost directly beneath the j
night watchman's shelter, aad the j
watchman was on duty. McManigal j

Mr Bryce was recognised as the etja
peculiarly qualified for the peat ad
